Skincare Truths: Why Your Favorite Influencer's Routine Might Not Be Your Best Bet

The festive season is rapidly approaching, and it's time to get ready for all those holiday gatherings and parties. At Genesis Medspa, we understand the importance of looking and feeling your best during this celebratory time. We've created the perfect treatment timeline to ensure you're not only party-ready but also set for glowing skin and confidence that will last well into the new year. Plus, many of our treatments offer long-lasting results that can carry you through the summer of 2024, making it a win-win situation when you plan ahead.

Are you tired of looking in the mirror and seeing the signs of aging, sun damage, or just the wear and tear of everyday life? Get ready to turn up the heat with Tixel, the skin resurfacing treatment that’s hotter than your morning coffee and twice as refreshing. This innovative treatment uses cutting-edge technology to rejuvenate your skin and leave you looking and feeling refreshed. So, what exactly is skin resurfacing? Essentially, it’s a process that removes the outer layers of your skin to reveal the healthier, more vibrant skin underneath. (Think of it like peeling a carrot.) This can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, and even acne scars. This is the best part – Tixel is non-invasive and has minimal downtime. Tixel uses heat to create tiny microchannels in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural healing process and encourage the growth of new, healthy skin cells. Plus, because Tixel uses heat rather than lasers or chemicals, it’s a safer and more comfortable option. This method is less invasive and leads to less tissue damage, resulting in minimal downtime. Of course, it’s important to remember that Tixel is only part of the equation when it comes to healthy, glowing skin. To truly maintain those amazing results, you need to take good care of your skin at home. This includes using high-quality skincare products, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and staying hydrated. Think of Tixel as the hero of your skincare routine, and your at-home regimen as the trusty sidekick along with your Aesthetic Provider’s tips and tricks. Together, they’ll help you achieve your skincare goals.

Cosmetic fillers are a great way to help you turn back time, when used correctly. Do you notice the person staring at you in the mirror has a few more lines than before? Are you seeing an image of your parents or grandparents looking back at you? Time and the aging process is something we can’t stop, but we can help slow it with cosmetic fillers. Cosmetic fillers are a great way to enhance areas on the face or simply put back volume that time took away. They can volumize the cheeks, sharpen the chin and jawlines, volumize the lips, and soften unwanted wrinkles. Done in the right hands, cosmetic fillers will help bring back a younger, more youthful version of you! Injecting filler is an art that requires precision, ongoing training, and an eye for detail. For the best results, it is important that you choose an injector who is highly educated and stays current with the latest techniques. It is important to remember that fillers only replace volume; they don’t stop the movement of the face, which le

The good news is bioidentical hormone replacement can relieve these symptoms and even provide protection against chronic health conditions. Not to be confused with synthetic hormones that come with the risk of blood clots and cancers, bioidentical hormones are naturally made from plant-based materials and have little to no increased risk of cardiovascular disease or cancer, but instead are shown by research studies to protect against these conditions and can be used long term without an increase in risk.

It’s Sunsational month again at Genesis! We are looking forward to and getting geared up for our 16th annual Sunsational Celebration Open House on May 18th. It’s hard to believe how many of these we have put on as a company. Every year we are so grateful to all who celebrate with us. This year also marks, for me, 16 years of being a client of Genesis. As some of you know, Dr. Prasad and Barb are my parents, so I was exposed to great skincare products and sun protection from a young age. As I have grown up, and when I began my career at Genesis eight years ago, I tried even more of the services and products we offer. I can’t say enough how much they have changed my life. Everything I have tried has been fabulous, from vein care and Biote Hormone Replacement to routine facials and Botox. At 31, I feel younger than I used to and feel more confident in my skin than ever before. I have grown up around a lot of my Genesis team, and we have added some newer faces as the years have passed. They are amazing! I feel privileged to work with such a solid and passionate group of people. I think this place is pretty magical and you can feel it when you come through our doors. So, I invite you to hang out with us, meet the team, and experience all the fabulousness Genesis offers this month. Find something that will help you feel better or be more confident. You deserve it!

The meaning behind the acronym SPF is none other than the light of your life – no, not your significant other or your kids, the other one. The SUN! SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. But why do we need to be protected from the sun?

So, what is insulin resistance? It’s exactly like it sounds, our bodies can become resistant to our own insulin, which in turn increases the amount of insulin needed to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. The more insulin we have, the more resistant we become, and this process continues in a spiral. Being insulin resistant does not mean that you are a diabetic, but it does increase the risk of diabetes and other metabolic conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity.
