Information Nights! 

  From time to time the girls here at the office like to hold themed evenings for our patients, clients and their friends. We find that it is a good way to introduce all of you to our office and all that we offer.  During these special nights we like to bring  local businesses in as well to show their wares.  If there is anything you would like to talk about, do or see you can call Jen or  Marlane at  603-431-5488 or email us @ marlane.landau@nhcosmeticsurgery.com. We love your ideas and will do our best to fulfill your desires.

So far we have held a Spa foot night with wine tasting and have done Lash extension  demonstrations, Jane Iredale make-up classes, and chair massage. Some ideas for future events are: Bridal make-up events, Botox & filler nights, Fashion shows the list can go on forever…

 

The Eye’s Have It!   By Charles J Gaudet MD 

  Your eyes are the windows to the world.. and the windows to your soul.  The first thing you look at in the mirror every morning are your eyes.

   We want your eyes to reflect alertness, a sense of being refreshed and well rested. If you are not seeing this in your morning mirror then there are options available to help to correct this.

   Approaching the upper & lower eyelids surgically can help to restore that youthful, refreshed look with minimal down time and inconvenience. The procedure can be performed in the comfort of our office under local anesthesia. The incisions are hidden in the upper eyelid crease or just below the lower lashes.

So when you do look in that mirror feeling well rested & what looks back at you is  tired eyes think of the possibilities. Just two hours of your time can provide you with years of a restored, refreshed look...without that “operated upon” look most of us dread.

Allow yourself to see the world and show your soul.

 

  From Fishing to Fabulous!  By Jennifer Graham

   OK so you think that fishing is just for men! We’ll I’m here to tell you that I know a lot of women that fish for sport. Now the only problem is afterwards you may have fished so well that the person your fishing with wants to take you to dinner to celebrate. OH NO!!! Well don’t you worry Jane Iredale has you covered. The new fall look is fresh, sexy and easy to achieve.

   First always start with a clean well hydrated face, OBAGI Foaming Cleanser will remove dirt and makeup without drying your skin or stinging your eyes.

Next apply a moisturizer with a sunscreen, Obagi Healthy Skin Protection with SPF 35 will leave your face moisturized, and protected from the sun and won’t clog your pores of feel heavy and greasy. 

Next you’ll want to even out your skin tone, Jane Iredale Loose Minerals are easy to apply, have  SPF of 20 and blend evenly for a  natural look.

Now the eyes, start with a gold base and sweep the color from the lash line to just above the crease of your eyelid, now apply a darker shade to the outer part of your lid and extend the color just above the crease to the middle of your lid.  Now go over the entire lid with a clean dry brush to slightly soften the shadow colors. Eyeliner is optional but can really make your eyes pop, choose a deep rich shade with this type of look, black, brown and gray work the best. Now finish the look by curling your lashes and adding mascara.

Lastly the lips apply a coral or deep red shade (a lip pencil works the best and lasts longer)

Top this with a lip plumping gloss such as Jane Iredale Clear Gloss and your ready to go.

He won’t even remember that you beat him at the fishing competition. Um… The fishing cap is optional……. Jen

 

  The Natural Magic Of Arnica!  By  Traci Burke, CMA, LMT

 Arnica Montana is a yellow “daisy-like flower which was used as a folk remedy in such forms as a tea or tincture/tonic 100’s of years ago. They used the Arnica for wound, bruises & swelling to the body.

Today Arnica may be found in numerous forms such as : homeopathy (small tablets / pellets), creams, gels, lotions, etc. 

I have been using arnica for many years myself, starting in my early days as a young mother  while working with 2 naturopathic physicians.  They introduced me to arnica after I slammed my finger in a drawer.  I have been a faithful user ever since.

I have found it works well for folks who are going to have surgery.  By using the homeopathic form of arnica (tablets)  under the tongue 24 hours prior to surgery in conjunction with arnica gel  that is applied topically can greatly reduce swelling and bruising that surgery can cause. Whether for eyelid surgery, facelifts, tummy tucks or breast surgery arnica may help you to speed up the healing process.

Arnica in it’s many forms may be found at any health food store in the area and also at your local pharmacies. Remember if they don’t carry it they will order it for you. If you have any questions on Arnica please call your local naturopath,  homeopath or you can call me…. Traci   

 

  Photofacials with Pulsed Light!  By Marlane Landau, AE, LMT

  An IPL photofacial is the perfect option for those who are looking for a youthful medical spa treatment. While most people have this treatment on their chest, neck, and facial area to help lighten their signs of skin damage and aging. Doctors have said that it can also work on any other part of the body that you might have sun damage or skin diseases such as Rosacea.

After just a few treatments, people have begun to see results from their IPL Facials. We usually recommend that you have at least 4 to 5 treatments to begin the process. Depending on the type of skin you have and the amount of damage will determine how many treatments after that you will need to help get maximum rejuvenation for your skin. The treatments don't usually take more than 15 or 20 minutes. These treatments do not cause a lot of pain, but some patients feel slight discomfort during the treatment process.  

Right after having the treatment, your skin may look slightly flushed or red, but this irritation will subside in a matter of a few hours. Those with sensitive skin might consider apply some type of antiseptic ointment just for minor relief of any added irritation.

The photofacial is said to help improve the overall quality of your skin. It helps to give your skin back the youthful look that it once had.
