Paramus, NJ Medspa

A massage therapist for 20 years, Patty continues to add to her repertoire at the Beaura Spa in New Jersey.

For first-timers to NJ massage therapy, she recommends starting out with the Swedish technique. It is a very light, relaxing all over body technique as an introduction to treatment. Shiatsu is another light touch therapy that is combined with the Swedish for the Beaura Spa’s signature massage. Using the fingertips, pressure is applied along the meridians of the body, which are on either side of the spine.

Fall is in the air and the glowing tans are fading, leaving behind new dark spots, lines and wrinkles. Paramus plastic surgeon, Dr. Paul M. Parker, knows that the Obagi Nu-Derm skin care line can reduce the effects of a summer spent in the sun as well as the build-up of years of sun damage because he uses these products himself.

Licensed massage therapist, Patty, helps speed the recovery of cosmetic surgery patients though lymphatic drainage massages (MLD). Having practiced NJ massage therapy for nearly 20 years, Patty says, “I love…love what I do!” Because the Beaura Spa in New Jersey is part of the Parker Center family, Dr. Parker actually prescribes three MLD sessions for each of his patients.  

“Lymphatic drainage massage is specifically designed to remove extra fluid form the tissue. After surgery or a trauma, the fluid pools at the site. With the massage, I keep the fluid moving on out of the body,” says Patty. Preventing the accumulation of fluid reduces swelling and speeds the recovery process.

There’s no stopping it… school and football season are starting which means summer is coming to an end. The leaves will soon be changing and there will be a chill in the air. The Beura Spa wants our clients to be proactive against dull dry skin this winter by starting now with Profusion, the latest addition to the Isolaze system.

Even in humid climates, winter time is drying to the skin which makes fine lines and wrinkles even more pronounced. Because of this, pursuing facial rejuvenation New Jersey is essential to keeping the face hydrated and the wrinkles and flakey skin at bay. Kim Ashton, spa coordinator and licensed aesthetician, says, “You immediately feel a plumping of the skin after one treatment so you know it is working.”

Beaura Spa coordinator and licensed aesthetician, Kim Ashton, raves about acne laser treatment New Jersey with the Isolaze laser system. But, she wants everyone to know that it also works wonders on a number of skin care problems like dark spots, broken capillaries and unwanted hair. In fact, Kim points out that the intended use for the Isolaze was not even for acne. “It was inadvertently discovered to clear up acne while clients were having other issues treated. They noticed that their skin was clearing up as well,” she says.

It is impossible not to get excited when talking to about Rhonda Allison products with our skincare expert Georgiana Liquori. Not only is she an experienced aesthetician, but she is also an educator and promoter of the Rhonda Allison line. When asked why she is so passionate about this particular line when there are so many other products to choose from, Georgiana says, “Because, through chiral correct technology, Rhonda Allison products are delivering a new standard for clinically effective medically formulated skin care. There is real science behind these naturally derived products. This sets the line apart from 99% of the other products out there.”

Summer-time is the time when we all like to get out and enjoy the sunshine, the beaches and put some color in our cheeks. The problem is that once the season is over, so is the bronzed look. Aesthetician, Georgiana Liquori says, “Come the end of September and early October, the tanned skin starts to look a little sallow and dull. Everyone wants their skin rejuvenated and the answer is microdermabrasion.”

SkinCeuticals is one of our essential New Jersey medical spa products and for good reason!  This product line allows us to offer our patients non-invasive and gentle treatment for sunspots, skin saturation, even skin tone and the infusion of rich antioxidants to keep the skin looking young and fresh.

The development of each SkinCeuticals formula is done with science in mind, thus making their products extremely popular with plastic surgeons and other medical spas across the country.
