redefining midlife: the hydrafacial
If you’ve had a close encounter with Angela McCool-Pearson, MD, FACOG, and Christy James Guepet, MD, FACOG, FPMRS of Fairhope’s Southern Women’s Specialists, you’ve probably muttered to yourself, “I’ll have what they’re having.” Pushing through middle age like so many of us, this dynamic duo is not only committed to all things female health-related, but they’re helping us keep up with our appearance, too. Indisputably intertwined, the good doctors’ holistic approach to beauty and wellness confirms it’s an inside andoutside job. With their recent expansion into the aesthetics world, they share their latest findings on that elusive fountain of youth.
Dear Friends,
Leaping into the aesthetic world was a natural move for us, and it seems our hunch was right. However, the reward of helping women look and feel their best has proven more satisfying than we ever could’ve imagined. As busy moms approaching middle age ourselves, we’re always looking for manageable ways to stay healthy and youthful. With so many life-enhancing options under one roof, we’re truly glowing over our HydraFacials.
For starters, a HydraFacial is one of the most effective, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatments available. That means no down time. Vital to each of us personally, we know it’s important to our clients as well. And just as the name denotes, a HydraFacial offers what one typically envisions when getting any kind of facial — cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and more.
However, adding the hydra (short for hydration) is where the magic happens. Why? Our skin loses its ability to retain moisture as we age which results in fine lines and a dull appearance. Aiming to restore moisture once the dead skin cells and impurities are removed, our treatments effectively deliver moisturizing serums deep into the skin.
While one may need Google to understand the varied serums and their benefits, a HydraFacial is simply about the moisturizing delivery system and how deep it reaches into the skins layers to create effective change. Obviously advocates of good skin care, nothing-over-the-counter can reach deep enough to deliver the same results.
We suggest one of our three HydraFacials to offset the effects of aging and sun damage. Again, there’s no down time, which essentially means there’s no down-side to trying one of these treatments. Our Classic HydraFacial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin utilizing super serums filled with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. While the peptides stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, the hyaluronic acid removes dead skin cells and prepares your skin to better absorb other products and stimulates the growth of smooth, evenly pigmented new skin.
Our Deluxe HydraFacial is an invigorating treatment that includes the same essentials as the Classic option while addressing specific skin concerns with a serum of your choice. Our range of serums can fight everything from sun damage to wrinkles and more. This treatment concludes with LED Light Therapy which is able to penetrate the skin at different depths to further reduce the visible signs of aging by helping the skin rejuvenate and heal.
Lastly, our Platinum HydraFacial is the ultimate experience! We begin the detoxification process with lymphatic drainage massage to remove toxins built up around the face and neck tissues. Once the skin is prepped, we add the serum of your choice as well as a hydrojelly mask and neck massage. This treatment concludes with LED Light Therapy to further reduce the visible signs of aging. With an option (and gift certificate!) for all, we hope to see you and yours this holiday season.
