Back to School...and Back to You
The summer is winding down already - and that means it's time for the kids to head back to school. It also means you get a much-needed break from running back and forth to the swimming pool, getting ready for baseball games and picnics, and taking part in other summertime activities. While your kids are sharpening their pencils and starting up their computers, it's time for you to sharpen your looks and start up a relaxation regimen with the help of the spa treatments available from Acqua Blu Medical Spa.
This month is a perfect time to relax, unwind, and beautify. Our full-service spa has a complete line of treatments to refresh and revitalize after all those summer adventures.
- Spa Facials: We offer an assortment of facials to address your unique skin care needs. We have treatments for sensitive skin, dry skin, deep cleansing, and sun damage repair. Our custom facial, Pur Blu, uses Sundari skin care products - a world-class line popular in the spas of Europe - to cleanse, hydrate, and renew using natural ingredients prepared with centuries-old principles of health and longevity in mind.
- Medical Facials: By using microdermabrasion, peels, dermaplaning, and other medical-grade skin care methods, we can provide deep skin renewal for a long-lasting healthy glow. Exfoliation of dry, damaged skin helps to reveal younger and healthier skin beneath and encourages cell turnover and renewal for a smoother look and feel. These treatments are ideal for addressing wrinkles, active acne, acne scarring, and pigmentation problems.
- Body Treatments: We offer several spa treatments that focus on enhancing your body, including an exfoliating body polish, spider vein laser treatment, SkinTyte™ nonsurgical skin tightening, laser hair reduction, and spider vein laser treatment. To indulge your face and body, it's time to consider our signature treatment: Radiance Pearl Therapy. A black pearl cream on the face revitalizes your complexion while a white pearl cream on the body creates shimmering, smooth skin.
In addition to a relaxing and revitalizing day at our spa, September is also a popular month for our clients to schedule cosmetic surgery procedures, now that they finally have some free time for themselves again. Premier Plastic Surgery offers a complete array of surgical options, including breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and facial sculpting procedures. We are happy to talk with you more about scheduling your procedure and planning your recovery period when you come in for a consultation.
Call us today at 724.776.2111 or contact us online to schedule a convenient time to visit with us.
Curves Ahead...But No Need for Caution
We've all seen the road signs warning of winding roads in the miles to come. But what do you do when you start seeing the signs on your body that your own curves could be in danger of becoming flabby, lumpy, and old-looking? Thankfully, the modern technology at Premier Plastic Surgery gives you several body contouring options for beautiful curves and long-lasting results.
You can be on the road to sexy, smooth curves with the help of our surgical and nonsurgical procedures.
- Liposuction: If you're like most women, you eat right and exercise to maintain a trim look, but sometimes your body just doesn't want to cooperate. Liposuction may be just the treatment to target love handles, muffin tops, and other cute nicknames for excess fat that's anything but adorable. A time-tested solution for body slimming, liposuction is a trusted and safe cosmetic surgery option. Technological advances have made the procedure more comfortable and more effective than ever before.
- ProLipo™: The ProLipo laser provides an FDA-approved alternative to traditional liposuction that is less invasive and requires less downtime. ProLipo is a technique that breaks up fat cells and allows them to be removed from your body. ProLipo is ideal for smaller pockets of fat tissue and areas that are difficult to treat using traditional methods. The procedure also can be combined with liposuction or SkinTyte treatments to create an attractive contour and firm, smooth skin.
- Skintyte: This laser technology firms the skin without surgery or downtime by heating deep tissue layers and stimulating collagen production. In addition, wrinkles and other signs of aging can be improved to enhance skin tone for a younger look. Treatments are comfortable because surface skin is continuously cooled, and increased skin tightening should continue for several months after the procedure as new collagen continues to be produced. In addition to enhancing body contour, Skintyte also can tighten loose skin and smooth wrinkles on the face.
Our body contouring options help you enjoy curves in all the right places. Popular body treatment areas include the hips, thighs, back, tummy, and upper arms, but practically any area of unwanted fat can be successfully slimmed and toned. For the straight scoop on achieving a curvy contour, contact us online or call 724.776.2111 to schedule an appointment.
A New Addition to Our Family of Laser Treatments
We are pleased to announce the arrival of the Cutera® Laser to the Acqua Blu family of laser treatments. After treatment, our patients are singing the praises of this "bundle of joy" that has helped them smooth and revitalize their skin appearance. With the Cutera Laser, we are able to perform several rejuvenation procedures including a popular treatment called Laser Genesis™.
Laser Genesis achieves skin renewal from within, improving the appearance of wrinkles and shrinking pores for a healthier, younger-looking complexion. Better still, clinical studies suggest that the laser causes new collagen formation and interlinking to help improve skin firmness. Laser Genesis is a true "lunchtime" procedure that requires no topical anesthetic or gels.
We also have several other state-of-art, innovative treatments for the skin, including Sciton ProFractional™, MicroLaser Peels, and BBL Photo Facials. Laser and light treatments are an excellent way to reach down deep in your skin and encourage a more youthful appearance with noticeable improvement in wrinkles, discoloration, and other skin imperfections.
Contact us for more information on laser skin therapies and to find out which of these treatments can provide you with the greatest benefit.
Prevelle Silk: Your Beautiful Skin Bargain
Each year, millions of Americans trust injectable treatments to smooth out their facial wrinkles. But millions more still haven't tried these revolutionary treatments. We think that Prevelle Silk is going to change that. For our clients in Western Pennsylvania, this newly-introduced injectable filler is perfect for "first timers" who have been waiting for just the right treatment to come along. Why do we say that? For starters, the special formulation in Prevelle Silk includes lidocaine, which makes treatment super-comfortable. And better still is the cost: just $150 for smoother skin that lasts for 3 to 4 months.
Of course, we also offer a full range of other injectable treatments for wrinkle reduction, including BOTOX® Cosmetic, Juvéderm™, Restylane®, and Perlane®. If you are confused by all the wrinkle-fighting treatments out there, you can schedule a consultation with Dr. Heil so you can learn more about which ones are right for you. Dr. Heil personally performs all dermal filler injections, including Prevelle Silk, to enhance patient safety and results. Remember that no other plastic surgeon in the area regularly performs injectable treatments for their patients.
To take advantage of our fabulous price on a wrinkle treatment that's getting nationwide "buzz," contact us online to set up an appointment at one of our convenient locations or call 724.776.2111.
