Hot flashes can make you miserable! Here are a few tips to help curb the heat and lower the frequency of events.

Avoid the triggers
Avoid alcohol (especially sweet white wines), caffeine, sugars, spicy foods, and hot soups and drinks that actually trigger or worsen hot flashes.

Chill out
Reset the thermostat in your house to 68 degrees. Sleep researchers observe that sleeping in a cooler room can lead to deeper, more restorative sleep. Night sweats can also be triggered by changes in room temperature, so if you start off cool and use minimal covers you are less likely to awake in a sweat as your body warms up through the night.

Get moving
Exercise daily to release tension held in the muscles, which will allow your body to truly relax. Exercise also triggers endorphins: the “feel good” hormones that help you feel calmer and increase your overall sense of well-being.

Hormone replacement
Bioidentical progesterone is known to dramatically reduce the strength and frequency of hot flashes by keeping estrogen and progesterone balanced and less prone to erratic fluctuation. Studies have shown up to 80% relief from hot flashes in women using bioidentical progesterone in a “Goldilocks” dose—no more, no less than the body needs to mimic natural physiology.

Take your vitamins & minerals
Anti-stress multi-vitamins and trace minerals include vitamins like C, B-complex, and E to help quell hot flashes and get you through the night without breaking a sweat. Trace minerals such as zinc and selenium may also help.

Eat your veggies
DIM, or dindolylmethane, is the active ingredient in cruciferous vegetables; it promotes proper hormone metabolism and helps improve estrogen/ progesterone equilibrium to steady the hot flashes and related symptoms. Try eating plenty of broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, and kale, and/or taking additional DIM in supplement form.

Don’t forget the herbs
Phytonutrients such as magnolia, red clover, dong quai, black cohosh, and rhodiola.

Microneedling is rapidly becoming one of the most popular treatments in the anti-aging industry and for good reason. This minimally invasive treatment provides a plethora of benefits including improving skin texture, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, skin tightening, scar reduction (including acne scars), and fading of stretch marks. The best part is that is a short treatment, affordable, and requires little to no downtime.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is the use of a device called a dermapen that uses fine needles to create thousands of controlled invisible micro-injuries to the deepest layer of the skin. These micro-injuries then trigger the body to heal itself by producing new collagen and elastin. These micro-injuries also allow for deeper penetration of topical products applied before and after the treatment. We use a combination of hyularonic acid and growth factors before the treatment to hydrate, plump and firm the skin and post treatment we apply a vitamin C repair cream and sunscreen to heal and protect the skin.

Does it hurt?

No! We apply prescription strength numbing cream to the entire treatment area for 10-15 minutes before the treatment. Our clients report they can feel the machine glide against their skin but do not describe the treatment as painful.

How long does it take?

The procedure itself takes approximately 30-60 minutes depending on the body area. However, we schedule and hour and half for each client to ensure we have enough time for a pre-consultation (to discuss the procedure, review your history and discuss your skin care concerns), time to do a pre-cleanse and apply numbing cream, the length of the procedure, apply post procedure healing serums and sunscreen, and discuss post treatment care and follow-up.

How many treatments do I need?

The number of treatments needed depends on each individual’s skin care concern. You will see an improvement in your skin after one treatment! Our skin care professional will discuss this with you during your pre-consultation and provide an individualized treatment plan that will provide you with the best results.

How long do I need to wait between treatments?

When doing a series treatments are done every 2-4 weeks depending on the individual. This allows enough time for healing between treatments and is soon enough that the body is still in the collagen rebuilding process. After you complete your series, maintenance treatments are recommended every 3-6 months.

How long does it take to see results?

You will see an improvement in the look of your skin as soon as a few days post treatment. Full results are seen in 3 months due to the collagen rebuilding process.

How much does it cost?

One treatment is $300 and for the best deal and results you can purchase a series of 3 treatments and receive $100 off.
