RADIESSE shows RESULTS

2009-09-18T11:48:00.000-07:00

Radiesse Success

Plagued by the folds of skin closing in on my nose, I consulted with the Board Certified Plastic Surgeons at 3000BC and Dr Brian Buinewicz.

The BOTTOM image shows the folds of skin around my mouth that are a result of pushing 40. As we age the collagen in our skin breaks down and the skin that was once high up on my cheek has, alas, fallen and is hanging.

The TOP images shows my face after it has been filled with Radiesse. This particular dermal filler is a deep dermal filler designed to add volume to the face.

You can clearly see my cheeks look fuller and the sagging skin is lifted. You can also see the folds around my mouth are gone.

I required one tube of Radiesse at a cost of $800. It will last nearly 18 months.

I am over the moon happy with the results. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at barryat3000bc@aol.com OR call 215-247-6020 x 5.

3000BC Testimonial.

2009-08-19T08:28:00.000-07:00

I had just finished a cleanse and had surgery, so between the toxins being released through my skin and my stress reactions - my skin was positively disastrous. I wouldn't even let my dogs see me without makeup AND concealer.

I used the 3000bc Calming Mask and the Antioxidant Cell Renewal Serum Night. I put on the Firming Botanical Serum Neck, Lips & Eyes because, well, why not while I was at it. Then followed with my night creme. I woke up this morning and only needed maybe two dots of concealer. I could not believe what happened in only one night; why didn't I do this sooner?!?!?!

Thanks 3000bc because even when I am not there, you are there for me.

Dr. Oz's Beauty Book

Meg is a 39-year-old mother of three and an avid surfer who admits to wearing as little sunblock as she can get away with—SPF 15 on her nose and under her eyes. "Because I want to look tan," she says. "I can't be in the water white." Using the Visia Complexion Analysis System, Dr. Evans shows exactly the damage those years in the sun have caused. Her refusal to wear sunscreen and constant squinting will cause premature wrinkles, fine lines and uneven skin spots. "These things are going to come to the surface. She's going to have these age spots coming up everywhere," she says. "It doesn't mean that it's too far gone. I mean, you still have a beautiful face. It's just something that you should add to your program. It's great that you're here being concerned about it." What can Meg do? Dr. Oz and Dr. Evans say she has to start wearing sunscreen made for active people on her face, body and hands. "Protect those areas that are getting a lot of sun exposure already," he says.

It is one thing to look at your face in a mirror, but looking at your face with VISIA® is another story entirely. VISIA® is an imaging system that allows you to see details of your face that are hidden to the human eye.

In the quest for a more radiant complexion, knowledge is an invaluable tool. VISIA® allows for the deepest possible understanding of your skin and the ability to show you just how it will respond to a full range of treatments.

VISIA® works by taking a digital photograph of your face which the certified doctors at 3000bc can then use to document the condition of your skin and evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment options available to you.

Holy Eyelashes Batman

2009-05-11T04:54:00.000-07:00

Latisse is magic

What is the fascination with long eyelashes? Women have known for ages that the bat of an eyelash can accomplish more than the spoken word.. The ancient Egyptians used kohl to darken their eyelashes. The Victorians, who abhorred makeup, even massaged castor oil into their lashes to enhance their natural beauty. Soon T.L. Williams created the first commercial mascara and named it after his sister – Mabel (you might have heard of the still-popular Maybelline!)

Well ladies this is 2009 and the great news is that there is a new product called Latisse that transforms lashes into the dramatic fringe everyone lusts after. It’s time to get out of the stone ages. No more tricky false eyelashes slipping out of place. No more maintenance for extensions!

After a recent visit to 3000BC I left with a prescription for Latisse. If you haven’t heard the buzz, Latisse is a prescription medication designed to grow your natural lashes. You can see before and after pictures at www.latisse.com. The active ingredient in Latisse was originally used in a medication to treat glaucoma. During studies of the product it was noted that patients were experiencing significant (and by that I mean va va voom) eyelash growth.

It’s really simple. You just brush a drop of Latisse above each lash line before you go to bed each night. I go through my normal cleansing routine, dab on my eye cream and the last thing I do is apply my Latisse. It takes about two to four months to see results because you have to give the lashes time to grow, but I am waiting (who am I kidding I am checking my lashes in the mirror all the time) anxiously to see the results.

I will be posting more about my Latisse experience and tracking my progress with photos, but if you’re just dying to grow you own goddess lashes I would recommend dropping into 3000 BC and talking with someone about Latisse today!

Elizabeth Arden's Red Door
Turns out 5th Avenue is NOT quite as good.....

I was in New York City for a spa conference, looking around at the latest technology, meeting vendors, touching base w. spa industry consultants that I've known for nearly a decade now. I spent the day seeing the best that the spa world had to offer. Kate Brown, 3000BC's resident skin care guru went with me to check out the scene.

After several hours of walking and talking, we decided to really get the true pulse of spa industry we should go and get a facial at Elizabeth Arden (we know - tough job!), but it really was work! We swear! We have to go and endure the pampering of luxury 5th Avenue spas in order to make sure that we are - in fact - providing the highest possible care to the 3000BC guest - or at least that's how i justified my expense report for the trip.

We entered the tiny little store front on 5th Avenue and took the elevator to the 8th floor. It's pretty, tea, juice, flowers, all the usual suspects. As we checked in - i began to peruse a spa menu and ask about facials. The very polite person behind the counter had no idea about the different facials. I'm not faulting her for that, 3000BC's desk team is not required to know all of the facials, I have asked my desk team to always tell the guest that a licensed esthetician will help them navigate the menu.

THE FACIAL, ITSELF
My esthetician was very nice, she examined my skin, asked me about my skin care history, treatments and products. She offered me micordermabrasion, after I told her that I'd had it in the past. She never recommended any service based on my skincare goals nor my current condition. When I asked about the a particular facial, she said that would be good.

She kept saying that products would be good for me, but didn't really tell me why the product would help.

THE CHECK OUT
I went to the desk after the treatment and my esthetician was there with 2 products. "These are the ones, I told you about." I thanked her, but didn't buy them - hello - can you say No Employee discount at Red Door.

She never explained helped me with a list of treatments that I would need in order to keep my skin healthy.

I was so impressed with the level of service at 3000BC, I've watched my team create customized treatment programs and home care routines for guests on a daily basis. We have such a loyal following because very one feels such a connection to our team. I am so thrilled to be able to offer a higher level of service to our 3000BC guests than Elizabeth Arden is offering on 5th Avenue!

What is Photo Rejuvenation?

2009-03-24T08:02:00.000-07:00

Biostimulatory Light Therapy.
Photo Rejuvenation Facial

Don't resist the idea as a hoax, a fad, or a gimmick! These treatments are FDA approved! They will create change in your skin without down time, without causing you pain, they are good for all skin types!

These facials are truly amazing! They work at the cellular level to stimulate the cellular activity through the production of “adenosine triphosphate” (ATP), the major carrier of energy to cells, helping all cells to rapidly accept nutrients and eliminate waste. The process stimulates collagen production while damaged cells are promptly replaced, resulting in the reduction of the appearance of aging by reducing wrinkles and producing firm, smooth skin.

This treatment is no joke. While a cutting edge therapy in many major cities in the United States, Philadelphia has yet to truly embrace the extraordinary power of PHOTO REJUVENATION facials that use Biostiumulatory Light.

We invite you to make an appointment for our featured treatment in April:

Advanced Esthetics Training

2009-03-23T18:55:00.000-07:00

3000BC Esthetician Medical Training

The 3000BC medical estheticians spent a day at the offices of our medical director Dr. Brian Buinewicz.

The estheticians: Judy Kim, Kate Brown and AnnaMaria Dipilla received advanced training, participated in a skincare protocol forum, observed highly advanced medical peel combitions (microdermabrasion and vitalize peel - Judy Kim is receiving this combination in the pictures above), laser resurfacing (AnnaMaria Dipilla is receiving this from Dr. Buinewicz in the pictures above), they also observed BOTOX injections and Juvederm injections (you can see Kate Brown's newly injected lips in the pictures above).

This type of training is what sets 3000BC WellMed Spa apart from other medical spas in the area. We continually strive to grow and learn in order to bring our guests the most cutting edge technology. You can feel confident that as a 3000BC guest you are receiving the best medical skin care in the region.

downtown kate brown loves BOTOX

2008-11-13T12:06:00.001-08:00

Kate on BOTOX
TOP is BEFORE
BOTTOM is AFTER

Master Esthetician, and 3000BC Trainer Kate Brown is a huge fan of BOTOX!

Kate's major concern was her 11's - those vertical creases that appear between the eyebrows. You can see in the top picture as she squints the 11's become very prominent. In the bottom picture, Kate's brow muscles are relaxed by the BOTOX and the 11's no longer form.

When asked what she loves so much about BOTOX, Kate responded, "I don't look angry all the time. The muscles around my eyes are relaxed and they appear more open and vibrant."

If you have any questions regarding BOTOX, schedule a free consultation with Dr. Rosen in Chestnut Hill or Dr. Buinewiecz in Wayne. You can feel free to ask Kate Brown or Barry Eichner about their experience with BOTOX any time.

kiss those parenthesis good bye!

2008-11-12T06:36:00.001-08:00

The wonders of Juvederm...
TOP IS BEFORE
BOTTOM IS AFTER
You've seen the commerical on tv.... the pretty woman - "parenthesis have a place - but not on your face".... she's talking about Juvederm the new injectibl gel! Then she says "everyone will notice but no one will know!"

As I approach 40 - i can't even really believe it - i feel 25 (on good days!).... I digress. As I approach 40, as I look in the mirror, my two "problem areas" were crow's feet and my parenthesis ( ). the lines that form from the side of my nose and go diagonal around my mouth.

BOTOX took care of the crows feet. I've never been more satisfied with those results.

UNTIL....... our Medical Director was teaching - yes our Medical Director not only does our procedures, he teaches other physicians regionally on how to properly perform these procedures. Why would you go anywhere else? That is beyond me, again.... I digress.... Our Medical Director needed a "model" to inject with Juvederm in the in service training. I jumped at the change.

Take a look at my pictures. The top picture you can see the lines that are going down towards my mouth from my nose. Then in the bottom picture - they are gone!

Juvederm is $650 per vial and it took one vial to fill in my parenthesis. This will last about one year - that's $1.78 per day. Yeah, I'M WORTH IT!

Juvederm......

2008-11-11T18:37:00.001-08:00

Kate + Barry Get Filled In!
3000BC's Medical Director, Dr Brian Buinewicz was training area physicians on proper techniques for injecting Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus.

Barry Eichner + Kate Brown jumped to the front of the line for Dr. Buinewicz and Dr. Rosen to inject during the 3 hour inservice demonstration on November 11, 2008.

Stay tuned for some truly amazing before and after pictures.!.

Kim's Call for Fall

2008-10-15T07:16:00.001-07:00

Kim's call for fall is the Anti-Aging Facial
Kim Neiburg, esthetician in Wayne, suggests the anti-aging facial for fall. Don’t let the name fool you—this facial is for skin that needs a pick-me-up from environmental stress such as sun exposure, stress, air pollution, smoking or inadequate diet. The anti-aging facial starts with a Skinzyme exfoliater, which will feel gentle but will work to progressively eradicate dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. The 3000BC Cellular Repair serum is incorporated into this facial to heal, rejuvenate, and preserve the structure and elasticity of your cellular tissue. This milky serum alters your skin’s behavior as it works against bacteria and inflammation, as well as minimizes scars and blemishes. This treatment finishes with an active, exfoliating Vitamin C Mask, which will tighten and detoxify as it defends your skin against free radical attack.
This facial not only will help increase the formation of collagen and elastin fibers in your skin, but it will replenish moisture, refine texture and support your skin’s natural metabolism—all resulting in a healthy, radiant glow! 3000BC WellMed Spa will leave you feeling ready to step out into the changing world again—and we promise to send you home with everything you need to maintain your new fall complexion.

BOTOX before + AFTER!!!!!

2008-09-24T07:31:00.000-07:00

Holy No Crows Feet Batman!!!

I've always had a curios interest as to how BOTOX would work for me. I was the most skeptical person and quite frankly somewhat negative.

I could not have been more wrong!

Top is AFTER - Bottom is BEFORE

I am totally sold on BOTOX it totally eradicated my crows feet! Every time I looked at my smile, I saw crow's feet and with 40 just around the corner - I would get so deflated. I JUST DON'T FEEL AS OLD AS I LOOK! I just don't remember when I turned into my dad.

Here are a few myths that i was nervous about!

Myth #1

I thought my face would freeze.

As you can clearly see above, i have a bright and brilliant smile (at least that's what my mom says)! All that's missing is those CROWS FEET!

Myth #2

I thought it would be painful to get the injections.

Again, I literally didn't even feel it! The needles at the dentist are 1000 times more painful!

Myth #3

I thought i was being shallow and vapid to pump my face full of toxin to look better.

I discovered BOTOX was a protein, not a toxin! It will relax facial muscles, not PARALYZE them. BOTOX was created to help relax the muscles of persons afflicted with cerebral palsy. So if it is medically fine and acceptable to help relax muscles in arms and legs, when does it become morally wrong to have it used on the facial muscular tissue.

I posted a picture of me on my facebook page and friends from college (nearly 20 years ago) are emailing me - "barry, you look great!"

I'm being told i look fresher, less tired! And when I smile, I don't see those dreaded crows feet in the mirror!

I also came to realize that I eat healthy day in day out, I work out 3 x a week and bike regularly to keep myself fit. I take pride in a nice outfit.

When did it become a bad thing to want to look my best? You can see the pictures - the difference is truly remarkable.

I'm completely sold.

If you have any questions - please feel free to email me at barryat3000bc@aol.com! I would love to help you!

my new favorite PRODUCT

2008-08-25T11:35:00.000-07:00

TNS Recovery Complex

i am in love!!! i went to a SkinMedica seminar a few weeks ago to learn about the new Illumnize and Vitalize Peels that we are adding to our Medical Skin Care Menu. SkinMedica also introduced me to a product they've been selling called TNS Recovery Complex $149 for .8 oz.

After hearing the educator speak about the product, I leaned over to Dr. Buinewicz and said, "I can't live another moment until I try that product." You see, I'll be 39 in a few months and am firmly committed to fighting 40 like an oil rig fire!! I schmoozed the sales team at the event and got a "sample" of the product. I've been using it RELIGIOUSLY, morning and night since August 12th and I'm here to testify; this product is truly remarkable. A gel based serum that is packed full of Human Growth Factors that are found naturally in young healthy skin - they help your skin rejuvenate itself.

All I can say is OH MY GOD!

I'm washing with a glycolic cleanser in the am, then applying 3 drops of Phloretin CF from Skinceuticals, followed by 1 pump of TNS Recovery Complex, and Active UV Defense 15 by Skinceuticals. My pm routine is 3 x per week, I apply the .5 Retinol from Skinceuticals and every night I apply 1 pump of TNS Recovery Complex - my skin is glowing. I've been getting compliment after compliment.

We are launching TNS Recovery Complex on September 16th at our Edu-Taining Seminar at our Wayne location. You've got to try it!

SkinRX ROCKS HOUSE!

TESTING 123...

Meet Catherine Rush, a long time guest of 3000BC. Catherine has, what we would call the most sensitive skin EVER! Kate Brown has struggled for years to work on Catherine and find products that Catherine will not react to. Typically, when Catherine leaves a facial her skin is some shade of red, from pink to bright red as it is in a some state of reaction.

Kate wanted to do a TEST of our New SkinRx product line from Dr. Buinewicz on Catherine. She used the following items on Catherine during a facial.

Vitamin C 15 Cream w. TGF - beta 1

Light Recovery Complex

Enzyme Mask/Peel

Sunscreen SPF 30.

As you can see from the picture above, Catherine's skin had ZERO reaction to these products. KUDOS to Dr. Buinewicz for creating a line that is clinically advanced, yet soothing enough to be used on even the most sensitive skin.

Microfirming Facial Rave Review

2008-08-07T08:50:00.001-07:00

"....TAKING SKIN CARE TO THE NEXT LEVEL....." words of long time 3000bc guest, Donna Mason.

Donna Mason (right) and AnnaMaria Dipilla (left)

The 80-minute Microfirming Facial with microderm was fabulous. First, I had a vacuum facial massage which was a gentle, soothing process that made my skin feel open and relaxed for treatment. Next, I had microdermabrasion, which polished my dead skin and made it feel baby-smooth. The last step in the facial was light therapy, a warming, soothing process to accelerate fading of any discoloration. Overall, the new technoogy at 3000 BC is taking skin care to the next level and I feel like my skin and my self-esteem have benefited greatly.

When I first started coming to 3000BC two years ago, I was suffering from adult acne, scarring, and discoloration. Additionally, my skin was dry and just not looking vibrant. I began seeing Anna-Maria about every 6 weeks and gradually began seeing changes. My breakouts became less severe and shorter and my skin regained its elasticity, which is great at 40 years old. If I did have a flare-up, it only lasted a couple of days and by having regular facials, my skin "bounced-back" a lot easier. I started out with Deep Purifying facials and then switched to getting Microdermabrasion, which made a huge difference in my skin.

BARRY on BOTOX

2008-08-06T07:45:00.000-07:00

BOTOX a big hit!

3000bc WellMed Spa held its first BOTOX Saturday on August 2nd. We had Dr. Brent Rosen in Chestnut Hill and Dr. Brian Buinewicz in Wayne.

I have to admit I was a little nervous, what a big change we're making. This is really a big deal. I couldn't have been happier.

We had guests receive BOTOX, Juvederm and Radiesse injections. The feedback for these guests was really impressive. They all were nervous because this was their first time receiving any type of injections. The number one feedback was that both doctors were very informative, knowledgeable and friendly.

All of the guests rebooked for follow up treatments with their doctors.

We also had several guests who came in to the spa for a FREE consultation with the doctor who ended up not getting any BOTOX or Juvederm or Radiesse injections, instead the doctors gave them suggestions on other alternatives to help meet their goals.

My suggestion is that if you're even remotely considering BOTOX or Juvederm or Radiesse. Come in for a free consultation with one of the doctors, let them tell you about the options and make your mind up on your own.

Men Love Medical Facials too!!!

2008-07-29T15:34:00.000-07:00

Tom Englett, long time 3000bc guest tells us about his experience receiving the Renewing Microlift Facial, Medical Skin Care Treatment.

At first, the sound of a Microdermabrasion machine didn’t sound very enjoyable or relaxing. I was slightly nervous about the treatment because I was told it’s a combination of microdermabrasion and an acid peel - but decided to go for it! I quickly realized that I had nothing to be tense about. Kate made the entire treatment enjoyable and very relaxing. I tried not to fall asleep but kept dozing off. I think I even snored a little at one point.

Needless to say, I woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

My skin felt and looked great!

The effects are lingering and I think my skin has improved over the last week and looks even better.

kate never disappoints!!!!

2008-07-24T08:31:00.000-07:00

Sandra Oyemola-Ajisafe (right), a long time 3000bc client gave feedback after she received the all new 3000bc Medical Microfirming Facial from Kate Brown (left)

I wanted to tell you that my face is glowing and it feels so clean, smooth, and firm. Last night after I washed my face, I applied 3 drops of the serum, and it burned, but then I applied the moisturizer and my cooled down and this morning it was so radiant. After I washed my face and applied the moisturizer and sunscreen (that was in the gift set) I only applied a little blush and my face is still smooth, firm, moist and supple. I did not experience any redness later on in the day like I used to with previous microdermabrasion treatments, so far, so good. Thank you Kate, as always, you never disappoint.

She loved the MICROFIRMING Facial!!!!!!

2008-07-24T07:21:00.000-07:00

Katie Taggert (left), long time client of Kate Brown (right) shares her feedback regarding the new 3000bc Medical MICROFIRMING Facial

The first part of the facial felt very strange at first, but by the end of the treatment it was relaxing - just a light kneading sensation over my face. Immediately after the facial, I didn't notice any difference. I was floored when I woke up the next morning. I tend to sleep on my stomach with my face completely mashed into my pillow so I usually have very distinct creases when I wake up. I had none of that this morning. My skin feels a lot tighter and firmer. I’ve had a swollen lymph gland in my neck for a while it hasn't gone down completely, but it's definitely smaller now.
The new microderm machine definitely felt more aggressive at first, but my skin feels and looks so much better. My skin feels stronger too, like it wouldn't be as irritated by more concentrated products or make-up. Don't worry though, I'm not going to mess with a good thing and I'll continue with my regular regiment.

I can't believe how effective the light treatment was. I usually have blotchiness for a day or two after getting microderm. I had none when I left the spa yesterday.

I thought the treatment might be a short-term fix, and I'd be blotchy today but I'm not. The discoloration from the few current blemishes looks like it will fade away in a few more days. Before my skin would take weeks to heal like this. The whole facial from start to finish was amazing. I just wish I could have seen the results immediately because my initial reaction was very blah, and I didn't want to leave Kate feeling disappointed. I hope you get some more positive feed back. I'm thrilled with the results!

I think this is the best my skin has ever looked and felt! Thanks! :)

3000BC Wayne treated VIP's was a HUGE success!

This year our Wayne Location joined forces with the Main Line Jazz Festival to once again host an evening of Jazz. On Saturday, June 7th our team was on hand to treat our VIP's to wine and cheese along with relaxing chair massage. Adrianna performed chair massage all evening and encouraged everyone to book a massage with her at the spa, all VIP's were offered 25% off to book an appointment. Mark Cheever, our Front Desk Sales Supervisor said that our event saw a record turnout with our VIP RSVP list growing as the days to the event approached. I asked Mark if people enjoyed the event, he said, "Everyone had a great time at the party. The music was amazing, some VIP's dropped in for a quick hello, while many stayed the entire evening." Mark also said, "Valerie and I had a great time talking to our VIP's and listening to the Jazz." Jennifer Bailor from the Mainline Jazz Festival said the evening was a huge success and looks forward to another great event next year.

I love my new shampoo!

3000bc has a new shampoo!!!

You don’t have to be a fabulous celebrity in people magazine to pose with your pooch…Say hi to Louie the Newfoundland!! This new website is a dream come true for everyone at 3000BC. And it is not only about beauty, but also about wellness, health and quality living. This business has been a passion for me for over the last 15 years and it is our goal to communicate ideas, wishes and the professional opinions of the entire 3000BC staff on 3000bc Beauty Chat. So here’s my deal this week. I had a hair analysis performed with a specialized scanner that magnifies the hair follicles. I was shocked and a bit embarrassed as I always prided myself on my thick and full head of hair. It showed an immense buildup of styling products on the hair shaft. Yuck!! Yes, I use smoothing/straightening products, gels and styling sprays, but I had no idea that the shampoo I had been using (it starts with an A) was not cleaning the hair properly. In addition to the fabulous Phyto line of haircare that we carry at 3000BC, in June 3000BC is launching for the first time ever, a shampoo and conditioner infused with 13 pure essential oils, amino acids protein derived from the Brazilian Babassu palm fruit. Not only will the new 3000BC hair products clean, condition and soften hair, but will not leave residue or buildup. Also-the blends smell delicious. Welcome to my world…Check in with us weekly for some great fresh fun.

SHOCKING BLIND TEST RESULTS!!!!!

2008-05-13T18:59:00.001-07:00

Hello Spa-Goers!

Having previously worked for the nation's top mineral brand as well as for a few other well known high-end product lines, I took a special interest in assisting with the product development of our new minerals.

We sourced countless vendors and tested each mineral formulation for ease of application, texture, finish, color range, and wearability.

This project evolved over several months and resulted in a product line that meets all my needs as a professional makeup artist and consumer!

...The most exciting part of helping to create this line was the grand finale....Our BLIND PRODUCT TEST.

I gathered all the girls--Medically-trained Estheticians--for a special training on our line, and set up a display of 4 leading mineral makeup lines for everybody to try. These 4 brands--Bare Minerals, True Minerals, Mineralogie, and 3000bc Essential Minerals--were set out in spoonfuls, outside of their packaging and completely unmarked.

My goal was to have my fellow "product snobs'' evaluate these brands in much the same way I had when we were developing the line. They tried each one of the minerals on their hands, in a facial application with different brushes, and finally the verdict was unanimous:

--Based on a blind test, our staff liked 3000bc Essential Minerals the best in terms of finish, texture, ease of application, and color!!!

So, come on in to try out the product that has all our staff talking. I can't rave enough about these Minerals--not only do they cover beautifully without a heavy feel, they go on easily, last all day, and are gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin! (These are considered medical-grade, which means that they do NOT contain ANY additional ingredients other than finely-milled minerals!)

To my fellow makeup junkies, I hope to meet you soon in Wayne!

to sunscreen?

2008-05-12T06:49:00.000-07:00

am i wearing enough sunscreen?

you may be a skin care aficionado or a low maintenance - "wash and go"! you may even wash with soap and go? to those people i just ask, "why do you hate your skin so much?".

but - sunscreen is not about vanity. it's about survival. the question shouldn't be ..... "should i wear sunscreen?" the questions should be, "what sunscreen should i wear?"

do i really need to go into the ozone depletion? hasn't al gore informed us already? the signs are everywhere. environmental factors are making more and more unsafe to be outdoors with out protecting your skin from the harmful rays of the sun.

3000bc offers a large selection of sunscreen options. skinceuticals, malin + goetz, mario badescu, true mineral make up, 3000bc essential minerals and napoleon perdis all offer various types of products that will help to protect your skin.

bottom line. don't mess with your skin. protect it!

YUMMY!!!!!

10 am at the jacob javitz center. nyc baby!

International Esthetics, Cosmetics + Spa Conference.

(top left) receiving the light therapy + (bottom left) the after shot of barb and I

Testing out the "ultimate facial" on the Synergie - Elite Triple Combo! A machine that does: FACIAL VACUUM MASSAGE, MICRODERMABRASION, LIGHT THERAPY (BLUE AND RED RAYS) + BODY VACUUM MASSAGE FOR CELLULITE REDUCTION!

I met w. my esthetician, Barb - was amazing - a wealth of knowledge and so very sweet!

barb explained the "ultimate facial" to me and i sign the standard waiver.

the demonstration began with a cleanse. doesn't every skin care treatment being that way? LOL! next she performed a very light facial vacuum massage - which felt AMAZING! not only did it feel great, barb, informed me that my face was getting a great shade of pink indicating that my skin was becoming flushed with lots of nutrient rich, fresh blood and lymphatic fluid that would help to build collagen. ( oh - by the way - get used to the word collagen - BARB - was all about COLLAGEN!!!!!)

next - barb did the micodermabrasion, it consisted of vertical passes, followed by a series of horizontal pass. - O M G! i can't believe these words are came out of my mouth, i tell you this with shame! "i had to ask her to turn down the strength of the crystal flow!" this baby can crank out a micro! i know that a microdermabrasion treatment that is really aggressive can expose some beautiful, fresh skin. it' cuts down on the crow's feet, it evens out the tone, it makes your skin more luminous (makes it shine ;-).....). the down side, the new skin is a little tender for the first few hours after the treatment.

BUT...........

now for the creme' de la creme'! the light therapy AKA photo-rejuvenation. it's not hocus pocus - i swear! here's some technical info. over the years it has been proven to increases ATP synthesis which accelerates collagen production! collagen is the serum in your body that helps to heal! it's also what keeps the skin tight! bottom line. i didn't feel a thing, AND, after a very, very aggressive microdermabrasion - i had NO post treatment stinging which can be common with a very aggressive microdermabrasion.

barry gives this 2 THUMBS way up. look for this soon at 3000bc!!!

testing 1, testing 1,2.. testing 123.......

2008-04-29T04:46:00.000-07:00

we want more! we want to step up our game!

these are the demands, i've been getting from all of the estheticians at the spas.

the majority of the skin care department has been with 3000bc for nearly 3 years and have gone through several advanced training with medical estheticians. as their training has advanced, so has their desire to do more advanced skin care treatments.

my job is to go out into the market and find them what they want. which brings me to my current project. i'm at the "international esthetics, cosmetics & spa conference".

with my super sleuth hat on, i came across "synergie" a company that produces a piece of equipment that offers an "ultimate facial" - 1. vacuum massage, 2. microdermabrasion, 3. light therapy. sounds yummy right!

so i'm testing it out today at 10 am.

above is a picture of me taken at 7:30 am est. i'll post a picture of me right after the test treatment. you can all be the judge of how i look after the treatment.

i'm really excited. i'm going to tell them to be really aggressive - because, when i get micro at 3000bc, i always get an aggressive treatment!

i can't wait!!!

herbal renewal day serum

1 oz. $50.

ok, im closer to 40 than i am 20 and i am a huge fan of acids, microdermabrasion, and retinols. i want to strip my skin down to fresh new baby-like skin! "keep me young looking!" i have oily skin, with large pores, that can handle just about anything that i put on it. when i've told many estheticians what i can put on my skin without having it react - they are astounded!

yet - every day - i use the 3000bc herbal renewal day serum as a day-time moisturizer. yes - i want to look younger and know that many of the scientific lines with all of their anti-aging bells and whistles will be able to do that - AND I LOVE THEM FOR IT! at the end, or in this case, the beginning of the day - i want to NOURISH + REPLENISH my skin.

the HERBAL RENEWAL DAY SERUM is "wonderful, amazing, delicious, stupendous, and FIERCE (HAHA)! shea butter and aloe vera (need i say more?) are perfect to nourish my skin. BUT - it gets even better, organic floral water and oat beta glucan work over-time to nourish and hydrate my skin.

sure, i'll strip down my skin! i'll peel off layers - making 40 look more like.....eh, im going for at least 34? BUT - i also want to make sure the new skin stays looking young. that's where the pure and natural come into play!
