Paramus, NJ Medspa

There is little doubt that today’s consumer is more informed and up to date than ever with all of the information available on the internet—all of this information at the touch of a button!  With that said, it should be easier in making decisions but sometimes, too much information just gets confusing!

In an effort to help clarify and narrow your choices down in the quest to “beautify” and “take years off” your appearance, consider the following reasons for choosing Beaura Spa, a medical Paramus New Jersey spa:

During all our lives we experience the occasional sunburn, hormonal changes, stress, pollution and daily sun exposure that contribute to the signs of premature aging. The Obaji Nu-Derm Skincare, at our Paramus NJ Spa, system has been designed to improve the appearance of your skin at the cellular level.

You can literally transform your skin by using the Obaji skin care system. This unique system of skin care products was developed by a dermatologist to scientifically transform the skin with a few simple steps morning and night.

At our Paramus, NJ spa, we understand the challenges that most of us have when exposed to the seasonal changes in weather.  The winter months can be especially difficult.  In an effort to keep our patients prepared and informed, we have found the following tips extremely useful.

1.   HYDRATION: The winter months can tend to leave your skin dehydrated as cold dry air depletes your skin of moisture.  Consulting with our aesthetic providers will help guide you in upgrading your moisturizer to a more emollient formulation or enhancing your current moisturizer with a hydrating serum.

A recent study reported in The New York Times and conducted at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center by a division of the National Institute of Health reports that, “A single session of massage caused biological changes.”

These biological changes include a noted decrease in the stress hormone, cortisol and an increase in white blood cells, essential to our immune system and an increase in oxytocin, a hormone associated with contentment.

Stress related illnesses have been reported as the culprit in anywhere from two thirds to 90% of all family doctor visits. Stress can leave people more vulnerable to anxiety, depression and even illness.

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.
