4 reasons why Juvederm is a smart cosmetic option

If you’re looking for a less invasive method for alleviating aging signs on your face, you should consider a tried and tested dermal filler like Juvederm for best results. Juvederm is an FDA-certified treatment for removing aging signs on your face like wrinkles, folds, facial lines, and creases.

The treatment is non-invasive and can also be used to add volume to your lips. Here are some reasons why Juvederm is a top cosmetic option.

Juvederm is produced from hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring compound that hydrates and improves the condition of the skin. About 40% of our skin is composed of hyaluronic acid but the compound decreases as we age. Injecting synthetic hyaluronic acid restores your skin’s youthfulness by correcting wrinkles, facial lines, and folds.

Juvederm fillers are ranked the best dermal fillers available

Juvederm injectable fillers are produced by one of the most reputable cosmetic brands in the United States, Allergan. The company uses safe ingredients and has an impeccable production process that’s envied by rivals.

Juvederm can treat multiple areas of your face

Juvederm’s range of products can treat multiple areas of your face. If you’re looking to add volume to your face, reduce scars, improve symmetry, or pump up your lips, Juvederm can take care of all of that. Basically, Juvederm is the perfect solution to restore your youthful appearance.

Several options available

Juvederm injectable fillers come in a range of options. If your aim is to add volume to your face, the doctor will likely recommend Juvederm Voluma XC. On the other hand, if you wish to remove aging signs on the lower parts of your face, other Juvederm options like Volurre XC will do the job.

Those who want lip enhancement can choose Juvederm Volbella XC. However, it’s vital to talk to your doctor to find out which brand of Juvederm suits your needs.

Talk to our professionals

Juvederm is the ideal solution for removing aging signs in a non-invasive manner. It eliminates wrinkles, folds, creases and facial lines from multiple areas of your face. In addition to restoring volume and youthfulness, Juvederm can help make your lips fuller.

But before you have Juvederm injected into your skin, be sure to talk to the pros at Seamist Medspa. Get in touch with us to learn how Juvederm can transform your appearance and get rid of aging signs.

How to take care of yourself after Juvederm fillers

Whether you are looking to add volume to your face or plump up your lips, Juvederm is one of the best solutions. This cosmetic procedure involves injecting hyaluronic acid, which helps to add volume in the targeted areas. People with flat cheeks or wrinkly face can also benefit from this treatment. It’s important to take good care of yourself after the Juvederm procedure to get the desired results. The following are some tips on how to take care of yourself after your Juvederm session.

Avoid overexposure to sunlight and excess heat

Exposing your skin to too much sunlight can cause various skin damages such as wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, aging and dark spots. Patients should wear sunscreen whenever they are out in direct sunlight to enhance the health of the skin and maintain their new look. If you are spending a lot of time in the open, ensure that you replace the sunscreen after every four hours. This will ensure that your skin stays protected from sun damage at all times.

You also need to avoid exposure to excessive heat because it can make your blood vessels to dilate, which can cause bruising. After having Juvederm fillers, avoid hot showers, saunas, hot sun or any other form of heat.

Do not engage in strenuous exercises

Although exercising has many health benefits, you need to limit your workout sessions for some time. Engaging in intense exercise after the Juvederm procedure can increase your pulse and blood pressure. Increased blood pressure causes more swelling and bruising in the treated area. If you have to exercise, then do some less strenuous workouts such as stretching or walking.

Do not massage the treated area

You need to avoid too much contact with the treated area for the best results. Most patients think that massaging the treated area helps to improve absorption. However, experts recommend that patients avoid massaging the treated area for at least two weeks. Ensure that you do not press the injected area for some time to allow the fillers to work well. You can apply cold compresses to reduce bruising and swelling, but you should not apply a lot of force.

Avoid straw drinking after having lip fillers

Once your lips have been injected, you need to avoid straw drinking for some time. Give your lips some time to allow the solution to dissolve before you can get back to using straws.

Observe these tips for quality results after having Juvederm fillers. For assistance and professional guidance, contact Seamist Medspa (http://seamistmedspa.com/).

Are today’s most advanced laser treatments right for you?

Laser treatments are becoming more and more effective and with shorter periods of downtime as the technology continues to improve year after year. One of the latest innovations that we are most excited about is laser treatment for dark circles for our clients in Rhode Island. Up until now, there have been few options available for people who have dark circles under their eyes. If you constantly look tired no matter how much sleep you get, this innovative new laser treatment is for you. At SeaMist Medspa in Kingstown, RI we can help you look like you’ve just got back from a relaxing vacation!

Why Do I Constantly Have Dark Circles Under My Eyes?

Unfortunately, for many people, the tired look that is created by the dark under eye circles is not caused by a lack of sleep. If this were the case all you would need to do is get a great night of sleep to get them to go away! Doctors refer to this condition as festooning, a term that simply refers to swelling or skin discoloration that causes the darkening of the area. Luckily, this condition is typically cosmetic in nature and is not a symptom of a more serious problem.

Discoloration or Swelling, How to Tell the Difference

If you suffer from allergies or find that you are itching your eyes a lot, you have likely bruised some of the blood vessels under your eyes and the surrounding area. This can also cause puffiness which just makes you look even more tired! Growing older can also add to the problem as this area of the face loses volume as the years go by. No matter the culprit of your under eye circles, there is a new and effective laser treatment now available to combat the problem.

How Do Laser Treatments Help Minimize Dark Circles?

The use of lasers is a great way to stimulate collagen production in the body and face. This procedure can also remove hyperpigmentation in the area and reduce those dark crescent-shaped circles under your eyes. In addition to laser treatments to improve the appearance of your under eye area, collagen injections can also help to correct hollowed eyes. Your aesthetician can review your concerns with you, and together you can determine which treatment approach is best.

SeaMist Med Spa in Kingstown, RI is a full-service spa that can help you look as great as you feel!

MY LIFE CHANGING STORY

Sheila Seyster, MSN, CNM, APRN

As a women’s healthcare provider I was educated using the traditional medical model believing that hormone therapy was unsafe. I was taught it should be prescribed for symptoms (only if absolutely necessary) at the lowest possible dose for the shortest amount of time.

After years of suffering with terrible PMS and peri-menopausal symptoms it was now my turn to experience what all my patients had tried to prepare me for – MENOPAUSE! I thought surely there had to be some element of exaggeration on their part. It couldn’t possibly be that bad. I could not have been more wrong. I now clearly understood why they called it “the change”. Several times throughout the day without warning my face would turn as bright as a cherry tomato and I felt like I was on fire. I would wake up drenched in sweat several times throughout the night only to be freezing less than five minutes later. I had difficulty falling back to sleep or staying asleep. I was absolutely exhausted and felt completely drained. Once filled with boundless energy I now could not wait to get home from work to put on my pajamas. I noticed drastic changes in my skin in what seemed like a very short time. I found myself anxious and sad at times for no apparent reason. I became less social. I now understood what brain fog was as I had to make a list to remember what needed to get done and often times I would lose the list. I seemed to be gaining weight especially in my mid section and no matter what I tried I could not lose a pound. One day I went for a run with my husband and tore the meniscus in both knees. I tried physical therapy, acupuncture, bilateral steroid injections, knee braces, ice and NSAID’s. Nothing helped. I developed severe arthritis in my big right toe in a condition known as Hallux rigidus. I could no longer do yoga. I was advised that I would need surgery, which involved cutting my toe and fusing it to my foot. I refused surgery and suffered in pain for over three years. Oh and yes in case you were wondering my libido was zero on a scale of one to ten. Even if I did have the desire my lady parts would never have cooperated. I personally had never felt worse both emotionally and physically. My body was rebelling in every way possible. I thought the word “change” does not do menopause justice. I was desperate to get my life back.

It took a lot for me as a women’s healthcare provider to seek help from another practitioner. I made an appointment with my primary care physician. I thought surely there must be something else going on with my body. The doctor ran some blood tests and told me everything was “normal”. She told me I was going through “the change” and reassured me this was “normal”. I thought to myself this is so far from normal. There had to be something more I could do.
My in-depth lab panel revealed all my hormone levels were completely depleted. Many key vitamin levels were found to be suboptimal. On a Tuesday afternoon I had a bioidentical pellet consisting of testosterone and estrogen placed just under the skin in my upper buttocks. The procedure itself was quick and painless lasting about 5 minutes. I was given a prescription for bioidentical progesterone (FDA approved Prometrium). I was also advised to take key supplements to optimize my levels.

It was two weeks to the day when I felt an indescribable life changing moment. For the first time in years I felt like myself again. I felt alive and full of life. My hot flashes and night sweats had completely disappeared. Most surprising to me was the fact that I no longer had any knee or toe pain. I honestly could not believe the pain was gone. I began to exercise and lose weight. My relationships dramatically improved.

I wanted to tell every woman I know they no longer had to suffer. This would become my mission. So many of my patients had come to me throughout the years with similar stories. They too had seen a provider and were told all their labs were “normal”. Many of them were given medications to mask their symptoms, which often included anxiety meds, sleeping pills or anti-depressants. Sadly most patients have no idea how addictive these medications can be as well as the potential long-term negative side effects. My optimization not only changed my life personally it also changed my professional career. I became passionate about educating and empowering patients on the benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Optimization. For the next two years I went through a series of courses taught by Dr. Neal Rouzier to become a certified expert in Bioidentical Hormone Optimization. Dr. Rouzier is recognized as a renowned leader and expert in the field of bioidentical replacement therapy. He has dedicated his life’s work to uncovering the medical literature that supports Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. He has revealed over 50 years of scientific evidence regarding the impact that hormone levels have on physical health, mental health and overall quality of life.

It is now so rewarding to optimize patients and listen to their life changing stories.

Benefits of BOTOX for Facial Rejuvenation

BOTOX® is one of the most effective cosmetic treatments for wrinkled facial skin. Most adults begin to experience dynamic wrinkles, which are the wrinkles that form when the facial muscles are contracted. The relaxing or pulling of the skin surface causes the formation smile lines and crow’s feet around the corners of the eyes and mouth. Thinning skin that is no longer retaining moisture and has less collagen is more easily wrinkled, and the appearance of these smile lines can have a negative effect on one’s appearance. No surgery, no chemical peels and no abrasive resurfacing are involved.

Benefits of BOTOX®

Botox doesn’t treat the skin directly. Rather, it inhibits transmission of signals from the nerve endings to the upper-level facial muscles. This means that smoothing of the skin surface is realized without the need for surgery or any sort of skin repositioning.

Another benefit of this treatment is that it actually trains the muscles to stay relaxed. The effect of BOTOX® lasts for anywhere up to six months. During this time, the facial muscles that control our appearance when we smile or frown never contract fully. Subsequent treatments typically use less of the fluid because the muscles stay in a relaxed state.

BOTOX® doesn’t paralyze the muscles or deaden the nerve endings in the skin. This means that the individual won’t be overcome by a feeling of numbness, and it’s just as easy to frown, smile and laugh as it was before the treatment was administered. The only difference is that these expressions won’t result in wrinkles.

How It Works

We always consult with our client before administering this treatment. We look at the face closely and note the appearance of dynamic wrinkles when certain facial expressions are made. This helps us determine the best injection sites and the best amount of solution to use for the treatment.

BOTOX® is injected just beneath the skin and directly into the upper-level muscle tissues. The treatment begins to work almost immediately, so you may see some results just after receiving your injections. However, the real results show themselves in the following days. After a few days, clients notice that the skin around the mouth or eyes no longer wrinkles when smiling or frowning occurs. This effect alone can make the individual look much younger.

Injections can be repeated at regular intervals. If you are in generally good health, you will likely make a good candidate for this treatment.

Get a Rejuvenated Appearance Now

BOTOX® is so popular for one simple reason: it works. You can look younger without undergoing surgery or abrasive skin resurfacing treatments. We are pleased to offer this treatment at SeaMist MedSpa in South Kingston. Get rid of those annoying dynamic wrinkles and smile lines in just minutes. Contact us today to find out if this treatment is right for you.

Investigate and Eliminate Dark Circles under Your Eyes

Awkward reactions are bitter to encounter whether from new acquaintances or lifelong friends. An involuntary step back or a wrinkled brow can come through even the most controlled of people when they make eye contact. The culprit in a lot of these cases are those pesky dark circles under a person’s eyes.

At SeaMist MedSpa in South Kingstown, RI, we understand the importance of skin care. As Rhode Island’s leading medspa, we offer skin care treatments and regimens to help you achieve and maintain your most beautiful skin – including the sensitive area under your eyes. To find out the best treatment options for your skin woes, contact SeaMist MedSpa today.

Anything from a quick cosmetic fix to a serious health condition can be the cause of dark under eye circles. How can one tell what is causing it in your daily routine and what is the best way to stop and reverse this condition?

Limitations on Acceptance of Getting Older

People have given this condition the unflattering nickname of dark eyes. While it is an apt description of its appearance, advancing age can play a role in its development. The body does not possess the ability to maintain the same level of skin health nor rebound as quickly as it once had. Conditions that are somewhat beyond our control revolve around the skin and fat around the eye. We will talk about what can be done about the uncontrollable later, but this has a smaller role in the complexity of the condition. The choices we make in our daily lives plays more of a pivotal part in these dark circles.

The Choices We Make

A lifestyle that burns the candle on both ends is the culprit in many cases. Lack of sleep holds great sway over how bad these dark eyes get. Over dependence on caffeine and alcohol tend to rob the nutritional balance needed to keep them at bay. Finally, too much love for the sun can provide a breeding ground for this condition.

Omen of Worsening Health

Finally, this could be a sign of worsening health on the road ahead. Eczema or thyroid problems could be in the cards. Seasonal allergies that were pesky in the past could be worsening to serious health concerns. Congestion could be not only present but lingering with the threat of becoming an ongoing congestion. Caution is the prudent form of action, with a visit to your doctor being the proper course of action to determine the exact cause of these dark circles should they persist.

What is on everyone’s mind is how to get rid of them as quickly as possible. Tracking and ensuring a regular sleep regimen will go a long way to correcting this. Topical eye creams can address nutritional and other deficiencies localized to that area. Acids can gently peel away a thin dying layer of skin. In the most drastic of cases, cosmetic surgery is used to turn back the clock and eradicate the dark eyes.

The good news is that with consultation from one of the medical professionals at SeaMist MedSpa, a personalized course of action can be started to not only eliminate but prevent the pesky appearance of dark circles in the future.

BOTOX for Men

Most people have heard of the BOTOX Cosmetic and how it is used for a variety of beauty and medical related purposes, but would it surprise you to know that about 10 percent of all cosmetic procedures performed in the United States in 2012 were on men? That’s almost 1 million men who have turned to cosmetic procedures to improve their self-confidence and their lives.

The number of cosmetic procedures performed on men has increased by 106 percent since 1997, so if you’re thinking about BOTOX, you are not alone.

At SeaMist MedSpa in South Kingstown, we are the top BOTOX provider in Rhode Island. Our staff of highly trained medical professionals deliver top-quality BOTOX procedures. BOTOX can be used for more than just cosmetic issues, and we provide top-of-the-line care. Contact SeaMist MedSpa today to see if BOTOX is right for you!

Here are just five great reasons to consider BOTOX:

Look Younger without Surgery

Let’s face it, no one likes the idea of having surgery. It can be a scary process, no matter how safe and routine it is. BOTOX is a simple, non-surgical treatment that can leave you looking younger without the need for a single incision. By reducing moderate to severe facial lines, you’ll reduce your apparent age in a very short amount of time, leaving you feeling younger and revitalized.

Maintain Your Competitive Edge

Self-confidence is important in the business world. Treatment with BOTOX Cosmetic can give you a competitive edge over colleagues who appear much older. Imagine how great you’ll feel when you land that big deal out from under your key competitor. Maintain your sense of youth and vitality with BOTOX Cosmetic treatment and you’ll find your confidence extending to your private life as well.

Promoting Prostate Health

Prostate health should be a primary concern for every man. In a recent study, it was found that injecting BOTOX into the prostate gland eased symptoms and improved quality of life for up to a year after the procedure. If you suffer from an enlarged prostate, you should really consider talking to your doctor about the potential benefits of BOTOX for bolstering your prostate health.

BOTOX for Pain Relief

Several studies have recently shown that BOTOX may be beneficial for the treatment of chronic pain. Studies have shown a marked improvement of quality of life for patients suffering from persistent migraines and severe neck and shoulder muscle contractions. Additional studies are currently underway and may show that BOTOX could be a recommended treatment for a whole host of pain-related symptoms.

Quality of Life

BOTOX can be used to treat many conditions that affect quality of life. Clinical trials have shown that BOTOX is useful for treating problems such as overactive bladder and excessive sweating. For men who have had their self-confidence impacted by these conditions, BOTOX may be the light at the end of the tunnel.

In addition to the cosmetic benefits, BOTOX can provide valuable medical benefits as well. Contact SeaMist MedSpa today to set up a consultation, and we’ll help you decide if BOTOX is right for you.
