How a Day Spa in Phoenix changed my life

DAY SPA

My experience with Day Spas

Suddenly Slimmer waiting area

My name is Kim and I’ve been in the Day Spa industry for 14 years. When I first started in the spa business, I hadn’t even had an eyebrow wax – it was all a new experience for me. Now, I have seen how Day Spas can literally change lives. By being an Aesthetician I have had the privilege and honor to be a friend and to be an ear. I have been a shoulder to cry on. I have celebrated in the joys of new friendships, new marriages, and new babies.

Day Spa create a healing opportunity and why?

The most content people I have met in my 14 years are the clients that made a decision to come to the spa every 3 to 4 weeks. The most amazing marriages I’ve seen is when the couples came in and experienced it monthly – together. These clients understand that in order for them to be able to give so much of themselves, they needed to recharge their batteries. The spa is a healing opportunity on so many levels. It is an opportunity to escape and to receive. It is an opportunity to improve the quality of life. The testimonials of how massages have benefited clients after accidents or challenges in their lives have been endless. Lives have been changed through clearing up skin conditions and giving confidence back. The joy I’ve seen clients receive from finding their home; their Day Spa, have been incredible to witness.

Suddenly Slimmer Day and Med Spa – The Best Day Spa in Phoenix and here’s why.

Suddenly Slimmer Day and Med Spa is a beautiful spa in which many clients call their ‘home’ their day spa. I am a certified and licensed esthetician in Canada, California, and Arizona, and I can tell you that Suddenly Slimmer is one of the most amazing spas I have been to and had the privilege to work for.

The directors of this Day spa have chosen the most corrective skincare which made an amazing difference in my own skin. The protocols they have chosen in their facials are result driven and very relaxing. They care for their clients not only during their treatment, but also in what they do at home to continue their results.

The lasers are hand-selected and carefully chosen for maximum results and the least amount of discomfort. With all of the choices on the market for home care and treatments to receive, I believe that Suddenly Slimmer Day and Med Spa in Phoenix has researched most (if not all) of what’s available and only offer – the best.

The body wraps have been studied and tested. I am amazed daily by the progress we make with clients wanting to detoxify and lose inches. It simply works (plus it’s relaxing and gives you energy). Can’t beat that!

So, in 2013, make YOU a priority. Take time out every month for you. If you take care of yourself, you will have more to give and you will be more content. I’ve witnessed this, and attest to it. Suddenly Slimmer Day and Med Spa is the place to be in Phoenix, Arizona – join us in 2013 for some much needed rest and relaxation!

Amazing Body Wrap Will Make You Thinner Tonight! Wrap OFF 30 Inches in 60 Minutes!

This isn’t your typical recipe for some super diet that will help you lose pounds. However, I will help you lose inches fast…

DIY Slimming Body Wrap

DIY Slimming Body Wrap

Suddenly Slimmer Day and Med Spa, well known in the Valley for their signature slimming body wraps, is letting every in on their secret. They’re actually sharing the ingredients and recipes for an in-home body wrap that can help shave off inches from different parts of your body and save you a little money while doing it.

Using ingredients that you can easily find at grocery stores and drugstores, the body wrap experts at Suddenly Slimmer gives you step-by-step instructions on how to concoct the solutions for a body wrap. We’re not going to lie to you, it can be messy at first, but once you get used to it, the DIY body wrap can be a great supplement to the professionally done body wraps. Let’s call it maintenance in-between professional services…and that’s a good thing especially for keeping those inches off all year long!

“Professionally done body wraps use professional grade ingredients that include minerals and enzymes,” said Jeanie Marcelino, Suddenly Slimmer Spa Director. “For this DIY recipe, ingredients that you can purchase at drugstores and grocery stores are used, and frankly, it can be effective when used in conjunction with the professional body wrap services.”

In a nutshell, ingredients are mixed together to make a warm paste and slathered all over the body. Then yards and yards of bandages are soaked in a special DIY solution and are used to wrap the body with it.

Here’s the recipe:

Clay Cream Ingredients:

1 cup Bentonite (Also called Indian Healing Clay. This material usually comes in one-pound bags)

¼ cup Dead Sea Salts or ½ cup of Epsom Salt

2tbsp. olive oil

1 green tea bag

3 cups distilled water

Optional: You may use Apple Cider Vinegar in place of the water. Or use ½ Apple Cider Vinegar and ½ distilled water. If you are using only distilled water, then you may add a couple drops of your favorite essential oil.

Directions: In a medium-sized pot, bring 2 cups distilled water (or Apple Cider Vinegar or combination of both) with the green tea bag to a slow boil. While that solution is coming to a boil, in a separate small pot warm up remaining cup of water (to be used if clay mixture is too thick). When 2 cups of solution begin to boil, take out tea bag and add Dead Sea Salt (preferred) or Epsom Salt and stir until dissolved. Add olive oil and continue stirring while you add Bentonite. Lower heat to simmer and continue to stir. If adding essential oil, now is the time. Stir until a paste forms. If mixture is too thick, use remaining cup of warm water to thin the clay mixture a bit. If too thin, add a bit more clay.

Wrap Soak Ingredients:

½ gallon distilled water

½ c. Epsom salts or Dead Sea salts

2 green tea bags

Additional supplies:

18-20 rolls of elastic bandages (Ace brand or any drugstore brand will do)

Plastic wrap (such as Glad Wrap)

Directions: In a large pot, bring ½ gallon distilled water along with tea bags to a slow boil, add ½ cup Dead Sea Salts or Epsom Salts, turn off heat and stir until Salt dissolves. Allow to cool off a bit until able to touch, then soak bandages for about 15 minutes. Apply the warm clay mixture from ankles up to waist and start wrapping the body with the soaked bandages. Continue applying clay mixture to the tummy, back and arms and continue to wrap using the elastic cloth bandages. Then take the plastic and wrap the entire body once again, sealing the all ingredients, while keeping your body warm during the process. Sit in a steamy bathroom for at least 45 minutes. Then unwrap your body carefully, shower and pat dry. Follow with your most emollient body cream or lotion.

Preparation is key to making this recipe work. Marcelino said that the first time can be a bit messy, that’s why many prefer to have it done professionally in a day spa, like Suddenly Slimmer. But once you get the hang of it, DIY wraps can be a breeze. Because body wraps forces out extra, unwanted fluids trapped under the surface of the skin, she also recommends drinking plenty of water before and after the in-home treatment. If done religiously and done right, anywhere from 6 to 30 inches can be shaved off different parts of the body, and skin remains silky soft and virtually “dimple-free.”

Since the 80s, Suddenly Slimmer Day Spa has been offering body wrap services, and even expanding these services, to cater to customers wanting to lose a few inches. With their DIY body wrap recipe, losing a few inches may be easier than ever because customers will now have a cost effective way to do so.

HCG: Homeopathic vs. Pharmaceutical

Today, it seems like just about everywhere you go you can purchase hCG. The  problem with this is that hCG is an FDA controlled substance that requires the prescription of a physician. Therefore; when you purchase from these unrepeatable sources you are not receiving a pharmaceutical hCG product.

Dr. A.T.W Simeons found that 125 IUs (international units of hCG hormone is  required and must be administered daily in order for the hypothalamus to trigger  the release of abnormal fat when the body is in deprivation. Pharmaceutical hCG hormone medication must contain a minimum of 125 IUs, be physician prescribed,  obtained, manufactured and dispensed from a reputable US based pharmacy.   Whereas Homeopathic hCG is a liquid preparation comprised of a mixture of vitamins, herbal stimulants and microscopic trace amounts of hCG, if any at all.  One also can’t be sure what type of hCG is in this product, as often times makers substitute equine (horse) hCG to make the homeopathic version.

Why this matters?
There are a variety of potential and serious health risks associated with following a strict 500 calorie diet without the proper medication and supervision of a medically licensed physician. Since the homeopathic hCG does not contain the necessary amounts of the hCG hormone, you are really just doing an unsafe version of a Very Low Calorie Diet and you are putting your body in ketosis. In ketosis, you will most likely lose lean muscle tissue, bone, and easy to access fat, which your body actually needs. This will also cause your cellular metabolism to slow down, which in the long run will make gaining weight easier after you have stopped the program.

By using pharmaceutical grade hCG, you will actually burn the abnormal fat (the stubborn kind around your abdomen and thighs) in your body and reset your metabolic rate.

The Bottom Line
There is no reason why a physician should ever put a patient on a Very Low Calorie Diet or a weight loss program utilizing homeopathic hCG. Additionally, a physician should not put a patient on a Very Low Calorie Diet and pharmaceutical hCG without first completing a detailed medical history, blood work, and consistently monitoring the patient throughout the program. This process is crucial to ensure that you are getting a high-quality, pharmaceutical grade product and to monitor your health and safety on the program

Thinking about Botox? How many units of Botox will you need and what is the cost?

Thinking about Botox? How many units of Botox will you need and what is the cost?

BOTOX

         Thinking about Botox? How many units of Botox will you need and what is the cost?

Many providers sell Botox by the unit. Most new Botox consumers do not understand what this means. We are going to explain, to help you determine the average cost of Botox per area. First, you must determine what constitutes a unit in the practice you are receiving Botox from.   At Suddenly Slimmer Med Spa the physician dilutes the Botox by a 1:1 ratio. Therefore, delivering the strongest Botox to  patients.

Next the provider must assess the area of concern and determine how many units will be needed to give the desired effect. The following is the ranges of Botox per unit Suddenly Slimmer physician and nurses use per area.

  • In the glabella, which is the area between the eyes usually in women takes between 16-28 units and in males takes between 18-30 units
  • For correction of crows feet bilaterally 18-24 units,
  • Horizontal forehead lines 8-16units,
  • Bunny lines on the nose 4-6units.
  • Upper vertical lip lines 4-8units are needed,
  • For a gummy smile bilaterally 2-4units,
  • Marionette lines bilaterally 2-8units, and for chin dimpling 4-8 units.

Please keep in mind that the above are average units used, patient may need more or less then the average listed depending on their muscle strength.

Now to calculate how much Botox will cost you, first select the area of concern. Take the number of units and multiple by the cost per unit to determine your cost. For example if Botox was $8.75 per unit and the area of concern will take 10 units to correct then 10 per unit X $8.75 = $87.75 cost for the area to be treated. Most providers charge between $10-16 per unit of Botox with the average being $13 per unit. We  hope this helps consumers like you to determine the cost of Botox for you, so you can budget appropriately prior to seeing your provider.

Please give us a call and we will be glad to answer any additional questions you may have 602-952-8446

Bee sting facial treatment

 A NEW FACIAL TREATMENT IS CREATING A BUZZ IN THE BEAUTY WORLD

Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, has been stung; so has Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge.

What exactly are we talking about?

It’s the latest in beauty and agricultural research – Bee sting facial treatment.

You don’t exactly get stung by bees to reap the benefits, but scientists have found a safe way to harvest the venom in bee stings. After the purification process, the venom is incorporated into facial cleansers, moisturizes, masks, serums, etc. for a facial treatment that brings back the skin’s elasticity. That’s how you receive the benefits.

Bee venom has been found to stimulate collagen process. When applied to the skin through products, the skin gets a tingly feeling, like it’s being stung a little bit, stimulating blood flow to certain areas and thus, stimulating the production of collagen.

Bee sting facial treatment

Bee sting facial Loved By Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge

If the Royals swear by it (and even Posh!), then we swear by it. We’re bringing this facial treatment to the Valley, and we know clients are going to love it!

Of course everyone freaks out when they see an active beehive. However, latest beauty research shows that bee stings might not be so bad after all.

In the latest agricultural research, scientists have found the venom in bee stings to have anti-aging qualities. The venom from bee stings can boost collagen, which gives the skin the elasticity to make it youthful looking. The research also suggests that the venom may also increase the number of cells called keratinocytes, which acts as a barrier to environmental factors like the sun, lack of moisture and bacteria.

But do you really have to succumb to a bunch a bees stinging you and ruining your relaxing facial experience?

The answer is NO.

Fortunately, researchers have found a way to harvest the venom from bees without harming their lives and/or well-being. A special glass is placed alongside a hive and a weak electrical current runs through it. The current encourages the bees to sting the glass, leaving their abdomens intact. The venom is harvested, dried and purified, and then incorporated into facial moisturizers, cleansers, masks, and even serums.

Suddenly Slimmer Day Spa in Phoenix will be one of the, if not the, first day/med spa to offer skin care treatments using bee sting venom products.

Camilla the Duchess of Cornwall

Camilla the Duchess of Cornwall

According to Dannielli Marcelino, senior esthetician for the Suddenly Slimmer, “Clients will feel a tingling sensation as products are applied to their skin, but that’s normal.”

She adds that the venom is fooling the skin into thinking that it is being stung causing the blood to target certain areas, thus stimulating the production of collagen and other natural anti-aging chemicals in the body.

“Once you give this facial treatment a try, you will think that this is Botox in a jar,” Dannielli said.

The Bee Sting facial treatment already has Hollywood celebrities and members of the royal family a-buzz. Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, is said to be a huge fan of this facial treatment. So much so that she has convinced her daughter-in-law, Kate the Duchess of Cambridge, to give it a try. In fact, if you thought the Duchess of Cambridge looked ravishing and glowing on her wedding day, well you can at least attribute her radiant complexion to the bee sting facial treatment.

“We are very excited to introduce the bee sting facial treatment to the Valley,” said Dannielli.

Cost of Bee Sting Facial – 50Min $145

Baking Soda + Orange Juice Face Mask

The baking soda exfoliates and fights acne while the acid in the orange juice tightens pores and the Vitamin C brightens (you can use a different type of citrus juice but you won’t get quite the same effect).

Use 1-2 times/week depending on skin’s sensitivity.

1. Mix 1 tsp. real orange juice with 1 T. baking soda.
2. Spread a thin layer on face, neck and décolletage.
3. Leave on for 20 minutes.
4. Dampen finger tips and scrub mask in circular motions for extra exfoliation. Rinse.
5. Follow with a gentle toner and moisturizer.

NOTES:
The mask will tingle and itch a little so it’s good too have a distraction—paint your nails, watch TV, but whatever you do, don’t talk. As the paste dries, any facial movements will cause it to flake off. Your skin may be pink afterwards, but that will dissipate.

Tips on how to treat and prevent breakouts as the weather changes

Last week’s news about the monsoon season is over and the impending fall, cooler weather can mean relief for some of us who are so done with the hot weather. But for our skin, it could mean a slight disaster.

how to prevent fall breakouts

how to prevent fall breakouts

According to beauty experts, breakouts occur as the skin transitions from summer to the much drier fall weather because it’s working harder to regulate the skin’s moisture. The skin is still on summer mode producing the same moisture flow from beneath, while the outdoor cooler air dries up the skin’s surface causing dead skin layers to form. The result: Well, a hot mess. The skin’s natural oils are trapped underneath the surface causing acne.

Dannielli Marcelino, Suddenly Slimmer’s licensed medical esthetician and certified laser technician has a few tips to share to prevent those crazy breakouts as Valley beauties transition from summer to fall:

1)  Switch to gentler cleansing and moisturizing products. Products with sodium laureth sulfate listed as one of the first five ingredients might not be suitable during the skin’s transition. The products should be nourishing and not drying. Same goes with products containing SD alcohol 40—that’s a no-no.

2)  Change pillowcases more often! We don’t think about it, but bacteria and oil can build up on your pillowcase, which encourages random breakouts. It doesn’t hurt to change pillowcases twice a week. Wash them using gentle detergents, like Dreft. And while you’re at it, try to get 8 hours of sleep!

3)  Regularly use sunblock like your life depends on it. Make sure your sunscreen blocks UVA and UVB rays and have an SPF of 30 or higher. Those harmful rays not only contribute to skin cancer, but they also increase rosacea flare-ups and sensitivity to breakouts.

4)  Add antioxidants to your morning routine. Applying a Vitamin C serum or even a Vitamin A (tretinoin) cream every morning can help rid of dead skin cells and dullness. And here’s an even simpler way to flush out toxins from your body—squeeze fresh lemon into hot water and drink it first thing in the morning (yes, before your coffee). The simple lemon concoction helps flush out the yuckies that cause skin sensitivities. Simple and cheap!

5)  Be cautious of over-the-counter acne medication. Don’t go crazy using them because they can certainly dry out the skin and cause even more trouble.

6)  Resort to chemical and physical exfoliants to get rid of the dead skin layer. This is when regular professional facials and an esthetician’s expertise come in handy. Chemical exfoliants, like glycolic acid and fruit enzymes, help break down the gunk on the surface to unclog pores.

Dannielli says the key to preventing breakouts while our skin transitions from one season to the next, is to keep the routine simple.

“People have a tendency to be aggressive the minute they see a zit forming,” says Marcelino.

“If you use gentle products and maintain a good, simple routine using sunscreen regularly and incorporating chemical peels/exfoliants, your skin will transition smoothly,” she added.

For more tips on how to treat and prevent breakouts, please contact Jeanie Marcelino Med Spa Director or Suddenly Slimmer’s licensed Medical Esthetician and Certified Laser Technician Dannielli Marcelino.

Hottest Celebrity Skin Treatments

“I need it now!” For celebrities, that command goes for pressed juice, Céline bags—and skin care. Here, the fastest, craziest ways Hollywood skin pros eradicate zits, cellulite, and lines.

ANTI-AGING IV TREATMENTS

When stars need to shine at a party (or recover from one), they get a Vita-Infusion Facial. While an aesthetician tends to the skin, a registered nurse or a doctor starts an IV filled with vitamins C and B, calcium gluconate, and magnesium chloride—a modified version of a vitamin mixture that has been studied for its effect on chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Patients get an energy boost and “a nice glow, probably related to vasodilation,” says Norman Leaf, an associate clinical professor of plastic surgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. You can expect skin to glow for about 24 hours when amino acids are added to a basic vitamin drip.

LASER TREATMENTS

Celebrity Denise Richards - Getting an IPL Photo Facial

Celebrity Denise Richards - Getting an IPL Photo Facial

Before big events, actresses and pop stars get a combination of laser skin tightening and IPL Photofacial  laser treatment.  The two lasers, each with a different wavelength: One removes redness and brown spots, and the other stimulates collagen production to reduce fine lines and large pores and give skin an immediate glow. “Some stars get this done in the morning of an event as part of their red-carpet prep.  Makeup can easily veil the resulting redness.

HEAD-TO-TOE FACIALS

Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Erin Heatherton, Miranda Kerr—before these Angels strap on their wings for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show, they get a  body facials. The experience starts with microdermabrasion followed by a gentle laser skin tightening treatment, which encourages fibroblasts to make new collagen. A peel comes next—20 percent glycolic acid spiked with calming lavender essence. Skin is then doused with a serum that helps build collagen, illuminated with low-energy light that slows its breakdown, and topped with a rich cream laced with tremella mushroom extract, a humectant that can hold 500 times its weight in water. Skin looks dewy and radiant right away, and the buildup of collagen is long-lasting. Stars can head straight to hair and makeup.

INSTANT TIGHTENING

Even in Tinseltown, scalpels are becoming yesterday’s news. Surgery isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When stars need a lift, they get Power Facials instead of face-lifts: an exfoliating retinoid peel, Intense Pulsed Light (which targets brown spots and broken capillaries), microdermabrasion with an infusion of the antioxidants vitamin C and niacinamide, and, finally, radio frequency to firm the face and neck.

Skin tightening is huge in Hollywood.  Actresses like to get skin tightening treatment done on their eyelids and brows right before red-carpet events because instantly, the skin looks incredibly taut, and there’s no downtime. Suddenly Slimmer Med Spa uses laser skin tightening or radio frequency device, which doesn’t require anesthesia ( the sensation you feel is similar to a hot-stone massage). Results are most visible in the 48 hours after treatment. For an effect that lasts about a year, we recommend 6 treatment of laser skin tightening and four to five monthly treatments are needed of radio frequency.

HOT-SPOT FILLERS

If this next item had a snarky hashtag, it would be #celebrityproblems. When hefty earrings drag down stars’ earlobes, their doctors reinflate them with an injection of a hyaluronic acid–based filler, like Restylane or Juvéderm. Aging hands are another big concern.  Celebrities likes their hands to look as youthful as their faces. The synthetic calcium-based filler Radiesse offers a dramatic fix for up to a year.  Physician or a registered nurse slowly injects the mixture into the top layer of the skin near visible veins, stopping frequently so they can gently massage the area to create a completely smooth surface. If the hands have brown spots they will zap them with an Intense Pulsed Light device. Splotches darken and flake off a week later, leaving no evidence of sun damage.

ULTRASONIC PLUMPING

A thirtysomething blonde who was scheduled to present at the Golden Globe Awards is rumored to have gone to a famous skin care expert in LA, the morning of the show with some crepiness around her eyes.  The famous skin care expert applied a mix of hyaluronic acid and collagen protein and drove it in with ultrasound waves to deeply hydrate the skin, smooth away fine lines, and give a dewy glow. Results are instant but fleeting—lasting only a day or two—and most remarkable around the eyes, where skin is thinnest.

If stars can’t get in to see a skin care expert, we recommend you pick up a Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion System, which uses a similar technology and serum.

ELECTRIC FACIALS

There’s a reason stars on the red carpet glow like someone has plugged them in. Indeed, someone has:  We like to call them “electrical aestheticians” uses different types of current to boost radiance, enhance lymphatic drainage, kill acne bacteria, wipe out dark circles, and even spark cellular repair. While microcurrent has been popular with aestheticians for years, the even-lower-frequency nanocurrent,  is now gaining momentum.  The goal is to replicate the signal that the brain produces in deep delta sleep—a frequency that initiates repair.

Following a nanocurrent facial, energy slowly builds in the skin, peaking three days later. Stars typically get this treatment two days before the Academy Awards, and then, if time allows, they get  a little pop treatment the day of. Electrical stimulation during a facial, prompt an exchange of ions and rev up the metabolism, increasing the energy of the cells. And the more you do it, the longer-lasting the results.

BOTOX LITE

Stars do crazy things to grab attention, but one thing they don’t want anyone to see is their frozen forehead. It’s in their contract: If they get Botox, they could be fired. So a physicking or register nurse inject tiny amounts of the toxin into multiple areas of the forehead for a softer, more relaxed look. People still have full motion, so they can emote and act effectively, but skin doesn’t accordion. E

To strengthen and prolong the toxin’s effect, especially when patients are on tour or filming abroad, physicians may offers a new prescription supplement called Zytaze. The pill combines zinc with phytase, an enzyme that breaks down phytates, or compounds that prevent zinc’s absorption. Why is zinc so crucial?  To be effective, botulinum toxin has to bind with zinc in the body.  This pill, which you take for five days prior to your appointment, helps your body retain zinc better, so there’s more available to bind to the toxin molecules.  In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, Zytaze made the effects of the toxin last 30 percent longer when taken for four days before an injection.

BODY-FAT TIGHTENING

Before stars take it all off for the camera, they disrobe for their body wrap and laser technician,  Starts will start by getting a slimming detoxifying body wrap that will help them to lose around 6 to 30 inches per treatment, following that they will get a radio frequency done, namely Alma Laser Skin Tightening , to tighten loose skin right away. Also in demand is Alma Laser Volume Reduction and Body Contouring Treatment, a volume reduction and body sculpting device that obliterates belly bulges, love handles, and back fat.

 

If you would like to try any of the treatments enjoyed by celebrities please give us a call 602-952-8446!   Suddenly Slimmer Day and Med Spa offers all the above treatments and more!
