Correct & Replenish with This Week's Product Special

This week - at Le Beau Visage Medical Spa - we're promoting the products that help restore and rejuvenate the skin and reverse the signs of photo aging. What are these miraculous products you might ask? They're SkinCeuticals Vitamin C Serums, of course.

And this week - we're giving away a FREE Jane Iredale Lip Drink with the purchase of a Phloretin CF® vitamin C serum from SkinCeuticals.

Phloretin CF® is the "best of the best" when it comes to preventive and topical antioxidant serums. It restores and corrects the signs of photo aging and sun damage - at a cellular level.

But what is it, exactly? It's a state of the art combination of vitamin C, phloretin (an amazing plant extract/chemical found in apple tree leaves) and ferulic acid - to provide broad-spectrum restorative support to your skin (UVA, UVB, free radicals and all types of sun damage and photo aging).

Here are just a few of the benefits of using a super-power serum as a part of your daily regimen:

  • Prevents damage by preventing the cellular mutations caused by free radicals and sun damage (photo aging) literally - by shielding your skin's precious DNA.
  • Restores youthful skin by encouraging cellular renewal and turnover
  • It increases the skin's support structure, reduces and inhibits pigmentation caused by damaging solar rays, and tightens and tones the skin for an overall more youthful appearance.
Vitamin C Serums are NOT an overnight sensation that will cause you to look 10 years younger after 2 weeks of use. Rather - Vitamin C Serums should be used as a part of a daily regimen to restore and repair your skin from damage that's already occured - as well as prevent and block future damage from the boiling rays of summer.

And don't forget - even during the winter and on cloudy days the rays of the sun can cause serious damage. Don't leave the house without your broad-spectrum sunscreen - protect your skin and keep it looking young and healthy.

Smoother, Younger Skin With Fraxel

What if you could literally - grow new skin? With Fraxel laser therapy - you can have fresh, new skin. Fraxel treatment is a safe, non-invasive laser skin treatment that promotes dramatic results through collagen remodeling. This means - the process uses your body's own natural ability to heal itself - to simulate collagen production. This treatment promotes younger-looking skin without the side effects, risks or long downtime of other procedures.

Fraxel Laser therapy treats sun damage, pigmentation problems, melasma, wrinkles - and other signs of aging. The laser effects tiny fractions of skin tissue at a time, with thousands of microscopic laser columns — each just one-tenth the diameter of a hair follicle. Then, your body's natural healing abilities take care of the rest, working from the inside out, replacing damaged tissue with brand new, healthier skin.

Fraxel treatment is unique - as the first non-invasive treatment of its kind and a safe and effective solution for someone with a busy lifestyle.

Healthy Beautiful Lips

Having soft, supple and kissable lips is all about keeping the skin on your lips healthy.

Start with a regular regimen of cleansing and exfoliating your skin - and lips. After cleansing - prevent chapping by using a non-petroleum lip balm that offers true moisturization and hydration of the lips. Petroleum based products can actually dry your lips - while only making them 'feel' moist. Here's another tip - there are great products out there that also an SPF which further protects your lips from the damaging rays of the sun.

Another preventative measure is to include antioxidant protection for your lips. We're huge fans of Antioxidant Lip Repair by SkinCeuticals. Use of antioxidants helps reduce signs of aging and protects your skin from damaging free radicals.

Looking to 'plump things up'? There are several options to make your lips appear more full. You could opt to inject a dermal filler into your lips to enhance their appearance and create fullness. A less-expensive and non-injectible option would be to use a lip plumper product. We offer a few options in lip plump systems, such as Skin Medica TNS Lip Plump System.

There are always treatments and products to help you keep your lips and lip skin their healthiest - protected from the Summer sun - and looking their best.

The BOTOX® Cosmetic Brow Lift

A very common procedure for people entering their forties (sometimes earlier) is an upper eyelid lift. As a surgical procedure, an upper eyelid lift requires anesthesia and of course – a scapel!

Most people who undergo this procedure suffer both an aesthetic problem considering the heavy eyelids create a sort of ‘hooded’, heavy and tired look to the face as well as a possible physical impairment where the eyelid literally hangs over the upper part of the eye. In some cases, this ‘hood’ actually hinders ability of it’s victim to see –causing and leading to blurred vision and other problems.

The cosmetic eyelid lift procedure is definitely the answer for some, and might even be covered by insurance if it’s causing vision problems with day to day activity such as driving or cooking.

However, for some there’s a less expensive, and non-invasive solution to an upper eyelid lift – that of the Botox® Cosmetic Brow Lift.

Most people don’t associate Botox® with an eyelid lift – rather they associate it with wrinkles. But a skilled physician would be able to perform a lift to the entire brow, by working with the proper muscles and well-placed injections with the proper amount of Botox® to lift the entire forehead – thus lifting the brow area and subsequently, the lids. This can resolve the ‘hooded’ appearance, as well as open the eyes for a more refreshed look. There are two types of muscles in the brow area and forehead that work in sequence with each other to both pull down the brows, and also to lift them up. Botox works by paralyzing the ones that pull down the brows, leaving the ones that pull up the brows – to do all the work on their own. What’s best, is that all the wrinkles in injected areas will also be GONE!

You get tons of extra benefits with a brow lift (wrinkles removed) or a lift effect bonus with wrinkle resolution – either way – you’re getting several fabulous results from one treatment. The Botox® Brow Lift can also help correct a ‘sad’ appearance that some people might have should the eyes be slanted in a particular way, and/or create a more feminine and higher ‘arch’ on the brows.

Botox® is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States – and worldwide. It’s safe, and “tried, tested & true” for over 20 years removing fine lines and wrinkles – and giving recipients a more youthful and fresh appearance.

Certainly consultations with Dr. Riehs are free, and he will work with you to your desired results, make suggestions - and identify the amount needed and muscles to be injected.

As common as it is, what most don’t realize is the true art behind injecting Botox®; it requires a skilled and experienced physician with an intense knowledge of facial muscular structure. You don't want your physician to inject too much, or perhaps the wrong area - to give you an unrealistic or surprised look.

Jason M. Riehs, M.D. – has been performing Botox® injections as the medical director at his office at Le Beau Visage Medical Spa for several years, has seen so many patients – that he’s been named a Platnium Level Advanced Injector with Allergan®, the makers of Botox® Cosmetic.

Get A Lift - It's Restylane Buddy Month


This month - grab a buddy and head to Le Beau Visage for Restylane® Buddy Month! What does this mean for you? BIG SAVINGS if you're looking to fill in and soften even the most stubborn lines and deep creases. Or - maybe you want to get a little somethin' somethin' extra in your lips (fuller, more plump lips). Restylane® can do that too. It's also most commonly used around the 'parentheses' lines (nasolabial folds - these are the deep creases from the edges of each side of the nose to the outer sides of your mouth) and the marionette lines or puppet lines (from the edges of your lips vertically down to chin area).

What is Restylane®, anyway - you ask? Well, it's the world's most trusted dermal filler. It's a gel consisting primarily of hyaluronic acid (which is present already in all living creatures) and when injected into the skin - can create volume. This is why it's referred to as a dermal filler. Restylane® works with your body's existing hyaluronic acid - and gently and naturally dissolves over time, but it can provide results up to 18 months* when following the proper regimen.

*For more information - visit Restylane® USA Online

Visit us for Restylane® Buddy Month! As long as one patient is new to the clinic; you BOTH can receive your Restylane® for only $375 a syringe! (That's $125 savings PER Syringe!). If it's not time to get injected - you can prepay your syringe and get it injected later on - we'll keep it in the bank for you to use.

Call us at 214-705-7676 for more information or to purchase by phone.
