It is always easier to prevent, than it is to turn back the clock. But, don’t lose hope. At AIYANA, we have you covered.

Wear Sunscreen You are probably sick of us taking about the good ol’ SPF, but honestly it is the most cost-effective anti-aging tool out there. Some may ask what sunscreen to buy and we are always quick to answer with one that gives you the protection from the sun and the screens. As we are exposed to more and more screens, que looking down at our phones, we are at an increased risk of certain lights causing damage to our skin. We love iS CLINICAL Eclipse SPF as it provides the adequate protection from all the lights around us. Medical Grade Skincare Why is medical grade skincare so important? When it comes to taking care of your skin, there is no better investment than into a skincare line that is medical grade, meaning pharmaceutical manufactured, with actual research and science backing it. When you buy skincare products it the store, they can say whatever they want on the bottle, even if the information is false. When it comes to medical grade products, there are standards in the industry, and they are result driven so you are going to get the best products that will actually improve your skin. As you know, we love ALASTIN and iS CLINICAL around here. To get started with skincare, we recommend starting with the ALASTIN Daily Beauty Regimen and a customized serum for you. We would love to have you at AIYANA for a complementary consult to talk more in depth about your skincare needs. Facial Treatments Facial treatments are more than just a luxury spa treatment. Although, we do love the fact that our facials at AIYANA are both luxury and results driven, we know that both are important. Why are facials a great way to help you age gracefully? With the productivity of facials including extractions, stimulating collagen production, increasing cellular turnover, infusing botanicals and growth factors to help improve texture, tone and laxity, facials are a great way to invest in your skin and provide it an ability to perform at its best. There are many types of facial treatments out there, ranging from a soothing, relaxing facial, to more invasive like microneedling. It is best to schedule a consult to discuss your needs. Injectables There are times when injectables, such as Botox/Dysport and dermal fillers are needed. This can be preventative as well as corrective, based on each individuals needs. Botox/Dysport are great at relaxing muscles to prevent deeper lines from developing. It can also help with tension headaches, TMJ and migraines. Fillers are great to add volume where it has been lost. As we age, our fat pads start to shift and due to gravity start to fall. By adding filler into that area, we are able to replace the volume that no longer exists, creating a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Healthy Lifestyle Aging gracefully can be something that starts on the inside. We always recommend our clients eat a healthy diet, exercise and drink water. Not only is this beneficial for your overall health, but it honestly helps your skin more than most of us think. Exercise is a great way to help your body function at its best, and when it does, your skin will show it. We’d love to see you at AIYANA for a commentary consult to get your skin glowing again!

Facials help with cellular turnover, increase collagen production, remove dead skin cells, and help your products penetrate deeper for better results. Check out our facial menu. Chemical Peels Chemical peels are a great skincare treatment option in a medispa as a stepping stone into deeper skin treatments. We love our iS CLINICAL chemical peels as the results are unparalleled and the peeling is abundant. The results speak for themselves. A series of 3 peels is ideal to get the best results. So, what differentiates one chemical peel from another? Superficial peels or light peels use acids such as alpha-hydroxy to gently exfoliate the skin. This peel is only acting on the top layer of the skin. Medium peels use TCA, glycolic acid, or a mixture of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol that will remove damaged skin cells. These peels reach the middle and outer layers of the skin. Microneedling AIYANA Microneedling AKA Collagen Induction Therapy is the perfect skin care treatment to help with texture, tone, and laxity of skin. It also can be focused on deep lines and wrinkles to soften their appearance. It is a great treatment when you are needing that extra collagen boost and notice those superficial fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. After a series of 3 or 6 treatments, your skin will be glowing! We love our SkinPen device as it is the best microneedling device on the market. It’s a focused treatment with great results. We utilized iS CLINICAL Youth Serum and ALASTIN Regenerative Skin Nectar immediately post treatment. to help with penetration. It absorbs into those open microchannels to deliver the BEST skincare products at a time when needed most. Post microneedling, a Reparative Aftercare Hydrojelly mask is applied as well as Medical-grade LED lights. This helps with recovery and expedites results. Sculptra The next level of collagen therapy, Sculptra is an injectable that triggers our body to create its own collagen. After about 1 month, our body has removed all the Sculptra from our system. and collagen is starting to form. After about 2-4 months, we have 3-5 years worth of collagen formation and visible results are seen. Sculptra can help with texture, tone and laxity of skin. With multiple treatments, volume and fullness can be noted in areas of deficiency. It is recommended a series of 1-2 treatments in the first 3 months, possibly 1 more treatment at 6 months and then you will be put on the yearly Sculptra plan. It is a great maintenance treatment to help tighten the skin and keep it looking its best. Overtime, you will continue to build collagen, which in turn can decrease the need of fillers and Botox/Dysport so you are using less. Ready to book your next spa treatment? Click BOOK NOW below.

BioIdentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using pellet therapy may help balance hormones in both women and men. Hormones are one of the most important regulatory systems that exist in the body, as they act as messengers, interacting with specific target cells and organs to stimulate them into action.

It is imperative that you invest in your skin just as much as other treatments. Self-care starts with taking care of you so you feel better and have a more positive outlook on life. The best skincare options include medical-grade products, such as facials, chemical peels, microneedling and even Sculptra treatments. Medical-grade skincare can elevate your anti-aging game and give you a great way to show some self-love. Taking care of yourself on the outside makes a big difference on how you show up in the world as well as how you feel on the outside. We have seen so many transformations and improvement in self-confidence in our patients as they start and continue their skincare regimen. It really is a game-changer. Facials, chemical peels and microneedling are great ways to take your skin health to the next level. A regularly scheduled facial treatment will keep your skin cycles renewing and rid your skin of impurities and damage. It is a great way to expedite the results that come with using a medical-grade skincare because the products will be able to penetrate deeper and have more of an impact in your overall skin health. Sculptra is the best option for collagen production. It is your OWN collagen that is stimulated after the injections and is yours to keep.

All Things AIYANA
All Things AIYANA At AIYANA, we are excited for the future. We are growing and expanding and adding in new services, procedures and skincare products/regiments to keep up with the demand of our clients, who are the best, by the way. We are here to serve you and we want to make sure we bring the best in the business. As a medispa, AIYANA aesthetics was founded on the belief that anti-aging treatments provide enhancement of our natural contours, not changing the face, but rather enhancing what is already there. We feel that bringing in non-invasive procedures is where we want to stay and we are always looking for the best on the market. Sculptra As we age, our bones in our face start to shrink. Our muscles start to thin and spread apart. Our fat pads, that used to almost be 1 fat pad that extended from our temple to our mid face, starts to spread apart. That is why we start noticing hallowing around the eyes, thinning of structure around our mouths, skin that starts to droop and sag around our lower face. All of this occurs, while our skin seems to get bigger. Its like a table with a large table cloth. We add filler to help fill that volume, but it can only take us so far without distorting the face and causing that moon-face shape. This is where Sculptra comes in. The collage treatment we’ve all been waiting for! Sculptra is an injectable sugar molecule that our bodies do not like. When it is injected, our body, over the next month, starts to attack it to get rid of in. During that process, our body produces collagen to help with this removal. As the collagen starts to build, we notice an improvement in our skin texture, tone and laxity. We may also have some volume improvement. This treatment is for everyone, as we are all losing collagen after our 20s. Collagen will last for 3-5 years, but with yearly Sculptra treatments, we can get you aging backwards and turn back the clock. The first Sculptra treatment is like planning the garden. Every treatment after that is where we water and nourish the garden. Kybella KYBELLA��is administered as a series of injections to the treatment area under the chin, destroying fat cells and producing gradual results. Everyone’s chin profile is different, we will come up with a customized approach just for you. The number of treatment sessions will vary based on the amount of fat under the chin and your treatment goals. Microneedling As a huge fan of this treatment, microneedling is a procedure that uses small needles to prick the surface of the skin. This process generates collagen in the skin tissue to help with wrinkles, fine lines, large pores and scarring. The end results include smoother, firmer and more toned skin. Adding in PRP, a serum or growth factor to the procedure so that you end results is amplified. Microneedling is best when done in a package of 3-6 treatments every 4-6 weeks. The results with that treatment plan will be the best and you will love the results. iS CLINICAL Prodigy Chemical Peels The�Prodigy Peel System P2�combines resorcinol, lactic acid, salicylic acid, and citric acid to target multiple skin concerns ranging from mild to moderate aging, mild acne and pigment irregularities. These acids are combined with a powerful �booster� which features an advanced form of salicylic acid, enhancing the benefits when compared to other peels. The unique formulation allows for a decreased chance of pigment irregularities and can it can therefore be used on all skin types, including darker skin tones. The�Prodigy Peel System P3�combines resorcinol, lactic acid, and salicylic acid together with a powerful booster that features an advanced form of salicylic acid, which provides a medium-depth chemical peel, which results in a brighter and more youthful complexion.

Maintaining that Youthful Appearance
Maintaining that Youthful Appearance We’ve all been told to stay out of the sun, wear sunscreen, drink water, use this product or that product. In reality, that’s just not reality. When it comes to keeping our skin young, there are things we HAVE to do, things we SHOULD do, and things that don’t really matter as much. What we HAVE to do The best way to insure a youthful appearance is making sure you are taking care of your skin, from the inside out. Drinking plenty of water, eating your fruits and veggies, abstaining from smoking and alcohol and staying active are all ways to help with this. Using a daily sunscreen is also the best anti-aging cream on the market. Sun damage is the sure way to cause wrinkles and fine lines, sun spots and a worsening of texture of the skin. Medical-grade skin care is honestly your best investment when it comes to preserving your skin. Think glowing skin. We love ALASTIN and iS CLINICAL when it comes to skincare because they are at the top of their respective grades for innovation and utilizing the most up to date research to come up with their products. Each of their products are formulated with you in mind, reaching every skin type and considering every person. ALASTIN is formulated with Tri-Hex technology that goes deep into the layers of skin to remove old collagen and elastin, then comes back in to increase cellular turnover to help your cells create new collagen and elastin.

They have a serum for every skin type that utilizes botanicals and extremozymes to enhance your skins appearance.

What you SHOULD do Facials, chemical peels and microneedling are offerings at AIYANA that provide you with the upper hand when it comes to the overall appearance of your skin. When you implement these treatments into your routine, you will no only have that glowing skin from within, but you will also have an increased opportunity for cellular turnover, decrease in fine lines/wrinkles and will be ahead of the game. We love the idea of implementing facials into your monthly routine. Chemical peels and microneedling are great for a series of 3 every 6 months to a year. This maintenance routine will help your skins appearance, focusing on texture, tone and collagen production Of course, doing invasive procedures more often and on a scheduled routine are always going to get you the greatest result. Also, you can’t go wrong with a little botox and fillers to help with those deep lines and volume loss. What doesn’t matter too much We hear all the time, “try this product it’ll change your skin, or do this remedy to help with anti-aging”. We are bombarded with so many different ways to achieve a youthful appearance, but all in all, what really matters is what we talked about above. The bottom line is, wash your face, use medical-grade skin care, drink lots of water, eat healthy, treat yourself to facials, peels and microneedling at least a handful of times per year. There is no magic cream, lotion, pill or anything like that. It’s all about consistency and getting on good products that will take you the furthest with your skin care goals. Recent Posts
