Achieve a Youthful Glow Just in Time for the Holidays Written by Sunshine de la Cruz RN It's the perfect season to rejuvenate your skin and look your best for the upcoming holiday gatherings. The other path to achieving that youthful glow is through our chemical peels to help you look and feel your best this winter. Embrace the Magic of Chemical Peels: What is a Chemical Peel? A chemical peel is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves applying a solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove the top layer. This process stimulates collagen production and reveals fresh, radiant skin beneath. Benefits for Winter: Improves skin texture and tone. Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Addresses hyperpigmentation and sun damage. Skin treatments are customized to your skin's needs. Improving skin texture refers to making the surface of your skin smoother, more even, and healthier in appearance and feel. Skin texture can be affected by various factors, including genetics, age, sun exposure, skincare habits, and environmental factors. When people talk about improving skin texture, they usually mean addressing the following aspects: Smoothness: Smooth skin lacks roughness, bumps, or irregularities on the surface. It feels soft and even to the touch. Evenness: An even skin texture means no noticeable color, tone, or consistency disparities across the skin's surface. Skin treatments can involve reducing the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. Fine Lines and Wrinkles: These are often associated with aging and can make the skin appear less smooth. Improving skin texture can reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin look more youthful. Pores: Large or enlarged pores can create an uneven appearance on the skin. Improving texture can include minimizing the appearance of pores. Acne Scarring: Acne scars can leave behind uneven skin texture. Treatments aimed at improving skin texture may involve reducing the visibility of these scars. Hyperpigmentation and Discoloration: Uneven pigmentation or dark spots can also affect skin texture. Improving texture may involve addressing these issues to create a more uniform skin tone. Overall Health: Skin that looks healthy and well-hydrated tends to have a smoother and more appealing texture. Adequate hydration, a balanced diet, and a good skincare routine can contribute to healthier skin. To improve skin texture, people often turn to various skincare products, treatments, and procedures, such as exfoliation, dermaplaning, chemical peels, Hydrafacials, and the use of skin care products containing ingredients like retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), and vitamin C. The approach depends on an individual's skin type, concerns, and goals. It's essential to consult with us to determine the best strategy for improving your skin texture based on your unique needs. Consultation is Key: Before embarking on your winter skin rejuvenation journey, schedule a consultation with Arawan MedSpa + Wellness medical aestheticians to help you understand how to correct skin concerns, prevent further issues, and protect your skin.

Relaxation: The client is encouraged to relax and enjoy the pampering experience throughout the treatment.

By Arawan Team Member Regarding self-care and pampering, you may have heard of facials, but have you heard of the revolutionary Hydrafacials? Moreover, the concept of "Hydrabody" treatments is rapidly gaining popularity. In this blog, we'll deeply dive into Hydrafacials and its line of Hydrabody treatments, explaining what they are, their benefits, and why they're worth considering for your beauty and wellness routine. The skin on our face holds approximately 5-7% of the total skin surface area of the human body. Treating the rest of our skin that covers our entire body is a fantastic idea. What is a Hydrafacial? A Hydrafacial is a non-invasive, multistep skincare treatment designed to cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, and hydrate the skin. This highly customizable facial makes it suitable for all skin types and concerns. It's known for its immediate and long-lasting results. The Hydrafacial Process A typical Hydrafacial session involves the following steps: Cleansing and Exfoliation: Dead skin cells are gently removed, revealing fresh, healthy skin underneath. Acid Peel: A mild peel containing glycolic and salicylic acids is applied to further exfoliate the skin. Extraction: The Hydrafacial device uses a vacuum-like tip to remove impurities and unclog pores painlessly. Hydration: Antioxidants and hyaluronic acid are infused into the skin for deep hydration and nourishment. Protection: The final step involves the application of serums and moisturizers to protect and maintain the results. Benefits of Hydrafacials Instant Results: You'll notice improved skin texture, tone, and radiance immediately after the treatment. Customizable: The treatment can be tailored to address specific skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne, or hyperpigmentation. Non-invasive: Hydrafacials are gentle, making them suitable for sensitive skin types. No Downtime: Unlike some more aggressive treatments, there's no downtime, and you can return to your regular activities immediately. Hydrabody Treatments: Total Body Hydration What is a Hydrabody Treatment? Our face is only 3% of our skin. The Hydrafacial extends treatments not just to the face but to all parts where there is a skin called Hydrabody treatments, which are designed to provide the same hydration benefits as Hydrafacials but for your entire body. These treatments are a luxurious experience that leaves you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to take on the world. The Hydrabody Experience A typical Hydrabody treatment may include: Exfoliation: Like a Hydrafacial, the treatment begins with an exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and prepare the skin for hydration. Hydration: Your body is gently massaged with a rich, hydrating serum, often infused with vitamins, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid. Relaxation: During the treatment, you can relax and unwind, letting the hydration soak in and nourish your skin. Results: After a Hydrabody treatment, you can expect smoother, more radiant skin and a deep sense of relaxation. Benefits of Hydrabody Treatments Full-Body Hydration: These treatments provide intense hydration from head to toe, leaving your skin soft, supple, and glowing. Relaxation: Hydrabody treatments are not only great for your skin but also your mental well-being. The experience is incredibly relaxing. Conclusion The Hydrabody offers unique and effective ways to rejuvenate your skin and promote total body hydration. Whether you want to refresh your complexion or unwind with a luxurious full-body treatment, these services can help you look and feel your best. So why not treat yourself to the ultimate pampering experience and discover the beauty of Hydrafacials and the tranquility of Hydrabody treatments? Your skin and body will thank you for it.

Written by: Sunshine de la Cruz RN Reviewed by: Eric de la Cruz MD FACS Reviving Luscious Locks: Exploring Hair Loss Rejuvenation Treatments Hair loss can profoundly impact one's appearance and self-esteem. However, innovative treatments such as those outlined below (in combination with hair rejuvenation medications), offer renewed hope for those suffering from hair loss. This article delves into these treatments, their benefits, and the recommended frequencies for achieving optimal results. The Challenge of Hair Loss Hair loss arises from various factors, including genetics, hormonal imbalances, stress, and environmental conditions. Addressing this concern requires a comprehensive approach that combines medical expertise with cutting-edge technologies to promote hair growth and rejuvenation. Treatments Offered at Arawan Hydrafacial with Keravive Booster: Nourishing the scalp and hair follicles Keravive delivered by Hydrafacial combines the efficacy of Hydrafacial (which cleanses and exfoliates the scalp) with a specially formulated serum infused into the scalp to provide nourishment. Hydrafacial Vortex Technology first cleanses by removing dirt, oil, flakes, dead skin cells, and impurities from the hair follicles and scalp surface, thus enhancing blood circulation throughout. Hydrafacial Keravive peptide complex booster containing a special blend of peptides, growth factors, niacinamide (for protection against environmental stressors), panthenol a vitamin B5 derivative (to moisturize and replenish the scalp and hair), and arginine (to build keratin and skin collagen proteins) is then infused into the scalp to create an optimal environment for healthy hair growth. Procell Microchanneling with Hair Microchannel Serum: Stimulating hair restoration Procell Microchanneling, also known as “advanced” microneedling, uses small needles on a disc to create controlled micro-injury to the scalp that then triggers the body's natural healing response to rejuvenate damaged hair follicles and to create channels in the skin through which a specialized serum can be better absorbed. The Procell Hair Microchannel Serum is filled with select growth factor proteins naturally present in young hair follicles. The micro-injury and serum work together to restore hair follicle growth and produce thicker, fuller-looking hair. PDO Threads: Improved scalp structural support Another innovative approach to hair rejuvenation involves PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads. These threads are strategically inserted into the scalp to stimulate collagen production and enhance blood circulation, thus improving hair density and vitality by fortifying the hair's structural support. The Path to Rejuvenation and Confidence Revitalizing your hair involves innovative treatments, medical expertise, and consistent effort. It's essential to approach these treatments realistically, acknowledging that results may differ based on individual circumstances. Our medical spa can guide you on suitable treatments, frequency, and timing based on your unique situation.

Written by: Sunshine de la Cruz RN Reviewed by: Eric de la Cruz MD FACS In the quest for the perfect body, traditional methods like diet and exercise are often insufficient to target stubborn fat deposits and achieve the desired sculpted appearance. However, advancements in non-invasive cosmetic treatments have brought about a revolution in body sculpting. This article explores the remarkable benefits of ultrasound cavitation, radio frequency, vacuum therapy, and vibration therapy – a comprehensive approach to achieving your dream physique. Unveiling the Science Behind Body Sculpting Technologies 1. Ultrasound Cavitation: Breaking Down Fat Cells Ultrasound cavitation is a cutting-edge treatment that uses low-frequency sound waves to target and break down fat cells beneath the skin's surface. The sound waves create pressure changes within the fat cells, causing them to rupture and release their contents. This liquefied fat is then naturally metabolized by the body and eliminated over time. Ultrasound cavitation is particularly effective for treating localized fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and love handles. 2. Radio Frequency: Tightening and Smoothing the Skin Radiofrequency (RF) technology delivers controlled heat energy to the deeper layers of the skin, which stimulates collagen production, leading to skin tightening and improved elasticity. As the cavitation eliminates fat cells, RF can be used alongside ultrasound cavitation to enhance the overall results by ensuring the skin remains firm and smooth. 3. Vacuum Therapy: Enhancing Blood Circulation and Lymphatic Drainage Vacuum therapy employs suction to stimulate blood circulation and promote lymphatic drainage, which not only aids in flushing out toxins but also helps reduce cellulite's appearance and improve skin texture. By enhancing blood flow, vacuum therapy supports the body's natural healing processes, optimizing the outcome of other body sculpting treatments. 4. Vibration Therapy: Maximizing Muscle Engagement Vibration therapy involves using specialized platforms that emit controlled vibrations. These vibrations engage and contract muscles, increasing muscle tone and strength. Vacuum therapy can enhance the effects of other treatments as it targets muscle groups that are not effectively involved through traditional exercises alone. Additionally, improved muscle tone can contribute to a more sculpted and defined appearance. The Comprehensive Body Sculpting Experience The power of ultrasound cavitation, radio frequency, vacuum therapy, and vibration therapy lies in their combined approach with food and activity behavioral changes; these combined treatments will offer a comprehensive solution for achieving your desired physique without requiring invasive surgery. Consultation and Customization Before embarking on an entire body sculpting journey, we provide our consultation process through our introductory offer. We will assess your individual needs, recommend a customized treatment plan, and determine which combination therapy is best suited to help you achieve your goals. Minimal Downtime and Visible Results One of the significant advantages of these non-invasive treatments is the minimal downtime they entail. Most individuals can resume their daily activities shortly after a session. Embrace the journey of your transformation and schedule your introductory visit with us.

Learning color theory is essential for permanent makeup artists. Permanent makeup artists must match pigments to the client's natural skin tone and hair color. Understanding color theory helps them identify the right hues, saturation, and value to achieve a harmonious and natural-looking result. Clients have different undertones in their skin, such as warm (yellow, peach) or cool (pink, blue). Knowledge of color theory enables artists to identify these undertones and determine pigments that complement and enhance the client's natural complexion. Sometimes, permanent makeup artists must correct or neutralize existing pigments or discolorations on the skin. The color theory guides them in choosing complementary colors to counteract unwanted undertones or imbalances. Understanding how pigments interact with the skin helps artists predict how colors may change or fade over time. This knowledge allows them to select pigments more likely to retain their desired color and prevent unwanted color shifts. Permanent makeup is an art form; color theory is essential for artists to create customized and personalized results. By combining pigments and understanding color relationships, artists can create shading, contouring, and dimension to enhance facial features and achieve desired aesthetic outcomes. A solid understanding of color theory demonstrates the professionalism and expertise of a permanent makeup artist. Clients trust that our artists know the color will result in flattering and natural-looking outcomes, boosting their confidence and satisfaction with the procedure. Overall, color theory equips permanent makeup artists with the necessary skills to assess, select, and apply pigments effectively, ensuring beautiful and long-lasting results for their clients.

As a clinic that provides permanent makeup or micropigmentation services, we must be familiar with color. What is the definition of color? Color is the visual outcome of the light spectrum as it passes through a transparent medium or reflects off a surface. It encompasses the wavelengths of light that the human eye perceives and the brain interprets. What are color characteristics? Artists describe the characteristics of color through three main points hue, saturation, and value. Hue represents the color family or name (e.g., red, green, violet) and is associated with the color's wavelength. Saturation, also known as chroma, indicates the purity or intensity of a color, determining its vividness or dullness. Value (brightness or luminosity) determines a color's shade (darkness) or tint (lightness). What are the Different Color Categories? Traditional color theory categorizes colors based on the primary shades of blue, red, and yellow. Primary colors (blue, red, yellow) are pure colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors and serve as the foundation for all colors. Secondary colors (green, orange, violet) result from combining two primary colors. Analogous colors are related colors found close to each other on the color wheel. Complementary colors are opposite on the color wheel and enhance or complete each other. Cool colors are mainly green, blue, and violet, while warm colors are predominantly red, orange, and yellow. Neutral colors include black, gray, brown, beige, tan, and white. What are the Different Color Classifications? Colors can also be classified based on their temperature (cool, warm, neutral) and value (light, medium, dark). Cool colors contain green, blue, and violet, while warm colors contain red, orange, and yellow. Neutral colors are earth tones, while value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. How to Recreate the Color Brown? Permanent Makeup Artists recreate brown by mixing the three primary or complementary colors. The temperature of a brown color depends on the predominant colors used (e.g., blue/green for cooler brown, red/orange for warmer brown, and purple for neutral brown). The artists adjust the luminosity of brown colors by adding black for darker shades or yellow for lighter shades. Our work with different pigment shades and unique individual skin undertones and understanding color theory allows us to effectively blend and create various shades, including brown, to achieve desired results.

Written by: Sunshine de la Cruz RN Reviewed by: Eric de la Cruz MD FACS Botox and Jeuveau are two brands of neurotoxin used in our clinic to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Here are a few reasons why someone might consider getting treated with Botox or Jeuveau: Minimize wrinkles: Botox and Jeuveau can effectively diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly in areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes (crow's feet). These treatments work by relaxing the muscles responsible for causing the wrinkles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance. Wrinkle prevention: Some individuals choose to get Botox or Jeuveau as a preventive measure to delay the formation of wrinkles. Using these treatments in areas prone to wrinkling can help reduce the depth and severity of future wrinkles. Boost self-confidence: Many people find that reducing the signs of aging through Botox or Jeuveau can boost self-confidence and improve overall well-being. Feeling more satisfied with appearance can positively impact various aspects of life, including personal relationships and professional endeavors. Non-surgical / minimally invasive cosmetic treatment: Botox and Jeuveau are non-surgical cosmetic treatments that involve a few injections, making them less invasive than other cosmetic procedures. The treatments typically require minimal downtime, allowing individuals to resume their daily activities soon after the procedure. Versatility: Botox and Jeuveau have other purposes besides treating wrinkles. For example, they can help relax muscles responsible for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) or alleviate certain migraines. Additionally, Botox has medical applications in treating conditions such as muscle spasms, strabismus (crossed eyes), and overactive bladder. Qualified medical professionals should be the ones to administer Botox or Jeuveau. Before considering these treatments, consult a medical professional who can evaluate your needs.
