Slim Down for Summer – No More Cellulite

Do you want to slim down for summer? Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done, especially when you’re dealing with cellulite.

Cellulite makes the skin look dimpled, puckered and lumpy, which can prevent you from looking your best in your favorite swimsuit. And for many, it seems like no amount of dieting or exercise can make the cellulite go away.

Luckily, there are things you can do to effectively deal with cellulite.

Coffee Scrubs 

One popular home remedy for cellulite is the coffee scrub. According to fans of this method, the caffeine in the scrub shrinks the blood vessels in the skin, making it look tighter. Coffee scrubs can also spread out the fat deposits, and remove the liquid and fat that can give skin that lumpy appearance.

One simple coffee scrub recipe uses coffee grounds and olive oil. The two ingredients are combined and mixed together until they form a paste. The paste is applied to the problem area, and gently massaged into the skin in a gentle, circular motion for about five or ten minutes. Finally, warm water is used to rinse off the scrub.

To make a coffee and sugar scrub, combine coffee grounds and brown sugar, mixing them into a paste. The brown sugar will help to stimulate and rejuvenate the skin. It will also exfoliate the skin, removing the dead skin cells that can make the skin look dull and lifeless.

Body Contouring

Body contouring is a non surgical cellulite reduction technique. These treatments target problem areas where cellulite has appeared, like the hips, thighs, abdomen, and buttocks. These areas are sculpted and reshaped, unsightly bulges and dimples are smoothed out, and the skin looks toned and firm.

According to Jeff Nourse, owner of Pure Med Spa, one of the most effective body sculpting techniques is called VelaShape. “The results are amazing,” Nourse says. “And you’ll start to see an incredible difference in just a few treatments.”

VelaShape uses a combination of Infrared Light Energy, Bi-Polar Radiofrequency, and Vacuum and Mechanical Massage to smooth out and reshape the skin. There is no surgery involved, so the procedure is safe and painless. And there is no downtime, so having VelaShape treatments won’t interrupt your life.

“The best part is you don’t have to wait long to start seeing results,” Jeff Nourse adds. “In fact, I’ve seen clients rave about how smooth and young their skin looks and feels after just four treatment sessions. And the more treatments they have, the better the results.”

Apple Cider Vinegar 

Another popular home remedy for reducing the appearance of cellulite is apple cider vinegar. This cupboard staple can either be ingested, or applied to the skin directly.

To use apple cider vinegar as an oral remedy, you can simple add 2 tablespoons to a glass of water, and drink one glass of this mixture every day.

To use apple cider vinegar as a topical remedy, the recipe is simple.

* 3 parts apple cider vinegar

* 1 part massage oil

Once or twice a day, apply this mixture to your problem areas, and massage the mixture into the skin for five to ten minutes.

There are times when cellulite can seem unbeatable. But, by using these three methods, you can get rid of that lumpy, puckered skin, and wear your favorite swimsuit with confidence.

Look 10 years younger in 10 weeks with Refirme Skin Tightening

Can you really look 10 years younger in just 10 weeks, without surgery? You can with our Three-Stage Non-Surgical Facelift package, which includes ReFirme Skin Tightening, an innovative skin treatment that will take years off of your appearance in just a matter of weeks. In fact, according to Jeff Nourse, owner of Pure Med Spa, “I’ve been in this business for a while now, and ReFirme delivers some of the best results I’ve ever seen.

What Is ReFirme Skin Tightening?

ReFirme is a safe, non-invasive anti-aging system that targets all of the major signs of aging. Among other things, ReFirme treatments tighten and firm the jaw line, neck and brow line. It also takes care of the fine lines, wrinkles and textural irregularities that can add so many years to your face. And unlike other treatments, including some procedures that use lasers, ReFirme is fast and convenient. Cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, ReFirme is safe, effective, and virtually pain free. And, perhaps most importantly to some, ReFirme Skin Tightening has no side effects, and very little down time.

How Does ReFirme Skin Tightening Work?

ReFirme uses something called elōs technology, which is a combination of light energies and Bi-Polar Radio Frequencies. These energies gently heat the dermal tissues in your problem areas, and stimulate collagen production and remodeling. The result is tighter, toned, more youthful looking skin.

ReFirme is safe for all skin types. So, whether your skin is normal, oily, dry, or a combination of two or three, you can safely undergo ReFirme treatments. And because the treatments are so gentle and virtually painless, no anesthesia is necessary.

When asked how long it takes to see an improvement, Jeff Nourse said, “Many people will see results after their very first ReFirme treatment.” And, according to those who have had ReFirme treatments, the results become more dramatic and visible with each subsequent treatment.

What Should You Expect When Getting ReFirme Skin Tightening Treatments?

Rather than a single treatment, ReFirme Skin Tightening is a series of treatments spread out over several weeks. You can choose to have three, four or five treatments, depending on the results you want.

The treatments themselves can last for anywhere from thirty to ninety minutes, depending on the number of problem areas being targeted. To do the face alone can take an hour or less.

With ReFirme Skin Tightening, there is no down time. You don’t have to hide away for several days or weeks until redness or swelling goes down. In fact, immediately after a treatment, you can go on with your daily routine.

What Are the Benefits of ReFirme Skin Tightening?

Those who’ve had ReFirme Skin Tightening report dramatic results, including tighter, more toned skin. They also saw a reduction of lines and wrinkles, textural irregularities, and skin sagging. And they looked years younger than they did before they tried ReFirme.

If you want to look younger, there are many anti-aging treatments available to you. But compared to many of those treatments, which can be painful and have many unpleasant side effects, ReFirme is fast, convenient, relatively painless, and safe.

Bust those Dead Skin Cells – the Importance of Exfoliation!

The skin is the largest organ of the human body, and it also reflects your lifestyle. Age, sun exposure, and environmental conditions affect the look and feel of your skin and can make you look older than you are. In order to keep your skin looking young and fresh, it is vital to properly exfoliate in order to keep your skin looking smooth and luminous. One great treatment that exfoliates and improves the look of skin is microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion helps renew skin through mechanical exfoliation. Microdermabrasion is non-surgical and it requires much less recovery time than other skin treatments such as lasers or peels

Pure Med Spa owner Jeff Nourse recommends microdermabrasion treatments for anyone who wants to reduce wrinkles and erase acne scars or age spots. During a microdermabrasion treatment, a hand held device is passed over the skin that delivers a stream of fine crystals or diamond dust onto the surface of the skin. The crystals are blasted onto the skin at a high speed and they remove the topmost layer of the skin. The other end of the microdermabrasion device acts as a small vacuum that sucks up the remaining crystals and the dead skin cells. This treatment is commonly used on the face, but microdermabrasion can also be used to improve the look of your hands, chest, arms and even feet. The treatment is enjoyable and is often performed in a relaxing spa like setting. You can also boost the effectiveness of a microdermabrasion treatment by combining it with a glow peel. A glow peel is a short chemical peel that also encourages exfoliation of the skin. When these two treatments are done together, they leave patients with a fresh, glowing complexion.

Sometimes referred to as a “lunch time” treatment, microdermabrasion produces instant results by clearing away the dull skin cells that sit on top of the skin. The treatment only takes between 30-45 minutes and is practically painless. Most people who undergo microdermabrasion treatments are able to go on with their day as usual. Microdermabrasion also continues to improve the look and feel of skin by stimulating new skin cell and collagen production. Collagen production is vital to healthy skin because as we age, our skin stops making enough to keep the surface tight and smooth. Although the treatment is most commonly used to reduce the signs of aging, microdermabrasion can also improve uneven skin tone and texture and improve the look of oily, dry or patchy complexions. Jeff Nourse recommends microdermabrasion for any patient who wants to improve the look of their skin whether they are male or female, young or old.

Currently, microdermabrasion is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures on the market and for good reason. With little or no pain and only a small time commitment, microdermabrasion can substantially improve the way your skin looks. Keep in mind that the key to great skin is prevention, and microdermabrasion is a great preventative treatment because it effectively and evenly exfoliates the skin.
