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.

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.

Here is some of the scientific product information listed on their website:

The most common type of cancer in the United States, skin cancer, is also one of the most treatable if caught early.

As  mid summer approaches, it isn’t only beach goers who are in danger of exposing themselves to harmful UV rays- golfers, runners, and anyone involved in outside activities are at risk. One in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of their lifetime, according to skincancer.org.

The ABCD’s of detection are vital to self-examination and should be done as a regular routine.  The American Melanoma Foundation defines the ABCD’s as asymmetry, border irregularity, color variation and diameter. Watching out for these can alert you as to what changes or developments should prompt an examination by your doctor.

The fight against lines and wrinkles has now gotten easier thanks to the release of Profusion laser skin treatment.  New Jersey residents with access to this breakthrough technology here at the Beaura Spa are reporting the same firming and anti-aging benefits as Botox, without the pain or side effects commonly associated with the procedure.

How Profusion Works

Profusion is a special tip made for the Isolaz laser, which allows for the penetration of peptides, vitamins and minerals deep into the skin for maximum firming and anti-aging benefits. Best of all, there is no pain, needles or harsh side effects associated with the procedure.

I was born in the Middle East, but have been in the United States for over 22 years. I am fortunate not only because I can make a living at what I love, but that I have been blessed by being surrounded by very hard working, honest professionals. I consider myself a student of the skin. It’s an arena where you have to work to stay on top of all the information, so I stay current by taking courses in New York and reading all the latest journals. Last week I got some advance information on an FDA approved product. This keeps the Beaura Spa at The Parker Center in New Jersey at the cutting edge of a very fast, competitive industry.  As new information becomes available I incorporate it into my client’s regimen. My opinion is if you don’t want to be studying and learning, you can be happy as a facialist working in an average salon with mediocre products. That was never my goal.

“If you want to be pampered, you can go to a salon for a fluff, steam and cream. But if you are truly serious about taking corrective action for your skin concerns, nothing takes the place of medically based skin care. You wouldn’t eat macaroni and cheese while training for a marathon.  If long term results are important to you, base your product and procedure decisions on nutritional skincare and real science.”
