Amped-up Creams and Anti-Oxidants
What are the big beauty buzz items for facial products and beauty boosting ingredients?
Antioxidants are the biggest beauty buzz word right now and for good reason. Anti-oxidants fight free
radicals which attack our bodies on the exterior by breaking down the cell structure and proteins in
our skin. If you incorporate antioxidants into your diet your body internally and skin benefit from the
inside out.
Berries contain the highest amount of anti-oxidant in fruit. Finding berries year round can be a
challenge but Driscoll’s Farms has enough farms to circulate berries year round. It’s a family run
business for more than 100 years and the berries are handpicked and packaged at the time they are
picked from the source. No processing! Which perked our ears up in this time with all the recalls.
Driscoll's Raspberries

Product Description: At only 60 calories per one cup serving, Driscoll's Raspberries are chock full of
antioxidants, a molecule that helps protect from free radicals, which are molecules that damage cell
membranes and DNA. This damage is partly responsible for the body's signs of aging, including
wrinkled dull skin and lackluster hair. Consuming berries rich in antioxidants has lasting health and
beauty benefits that go far beyond those achieved through the application of topical products like
creams and potions. Not only are raspberries are fragrantly sweet, wonderfully delicious and
delicately structured, but they contain strong antioxidants such as Vitamin C, quercetin and disease
fighting ellagic acid that also fight against cancer, heart and circulatory disease as well as age related
mental decline.
Anti-oxidants also work when used topically. Turmeric is known for its high anti-oxidant benefits and
one skin care line took six years to get it bottled up to work on free-radical damage. DDF Advanced
Firming Cream Turmeric.

Hair Health
How do we mend the dry snap of hair this time of year, and also deal with the static electricity?
Pumping up the moisture in your hair is just as important in your hair as in your skin. Using something
daily or even just twice a week can keep hair shiny, hydrated and on your head and not sticking up in
the air. Leaving conditioner on your hair in the shower for just a brief period can pay off when hair is
getting dry and brittle.

DIY Tweaks
How do we tweak ourselves during sweater weather? Is there something we do now in order to
be ready for spring?
We tend not to self tan as often this time of year and wear fall inspired shades on our lips and
wardrobe. Darker colored lipsticks and clothing can make teeth appear grayish or yellowing if your
skin doesn’t have enough depth to create a contrast. Brighten up your smile and not only will your
teeth look bright throughout the holidays, it takes years off your look.

After all those hours logged in at the gym or doctor's office, you might have some fine tuning to do to
your skin after significant weightloss. A topical cream like Mederma Stretch Marks Therapy will help
fade any stretch marks you may have after reaching your goals. Start applying it under your clothes
this winter and any existing stretch marks should be long gone by summer shorts season.

I’m a big fan of taking care of any scarring whether it be blemishes or scrapes you got in summer that
the sun stained marks on your skin. Now I the time to treat these more than ever. First off you are not
in the sun as often so your skin has a fighting chance to heal without added damage and a cream like

ever touching the skin.

combination of all three. Venus Bikini trims and maintains bikini hair while Venus Embrace cleans
and shapes the hair. Five blades surrounded by a Protective Ribbon of Moisture get virtually every hair

Professional Tweaks
What are the hottest new professional treatments that are revolutionizing how we view plastic
surgery?
Celebrities are huge fans of radio frequency treatments like Thermage, but a revolutionary new
device is making it faster and easier to achieve these dramatic results without the six month waiting
period for results. Pellevé Wrinkle Reduction System, a revolutionary non-surgical, skin tightening
procedure works quickly to plump and rejuvenate skin. Unlike other popular radio frequency
treatments, Pellevé effectively treats facial wrinkles with virtually no pain and no downtime. Results
are visibly noticeable immediately after a single one-hour treatment and you are free to return to your
daily activities.
(We will have a table-top machine on hand to show how the wand works.)
With the help of this treatment it's possible to achieve the enviably firm, plump skin of celebrities like
Ellen Barkin and Linda Evangelista who swear by the effects of Thermage.
Pellevé
Link: http://www.pelleve.com
Product Description: Pellevé is a revolutionary non-surgical procedure to safely and effectively treat
facial wrinkles with virtually no pain and little downtime. Medical studies have proven that Pellevé is a
safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles without surgery. The side effects and
discomfort are minimal, and no drugs or anesthetics are used during the procedure. Unlike other
skin tightening systems, Pellevé doesn’t require anesthesia or skin cooling. Because the skin is not
numb, you can describe the depth of feeling to the doctor, which helps provide the best result in the
area being treated. The overall result is a noticeable improvement in skin quality and appearance with
minimal side effects and recovery time. Pellevé is virtually painless and requires no recovery time, so
it fits easily into busy schedules and can provide lasting improvement up to six months. Results can
be seen immediately following a single one-hour treatment.
Sweater weather also means it’s a good time to look and see if our body needs any professional
tweaking as well. Fall and winter are an excellent time to consider talking to a doctor or med spa since
less skin is being revealed which means more treatment options. The methods have become
increasingly easier to recover from and the prices are certainly coming down. Recovery is a half of
what it used to be and there are no more body girdles to wear for 6 weeks after.
VASER Lipo - Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction
Link: http://vaser.com/
Product Description: VASER Lipo is a next-generation ultrasound-assisted liposuction procedure
that uses sound waves to precisely break apart fat deposits for easy, safe removal, fast recovery and
smooth results. As a safe, minimally invasive alternative to traditional liposuction, VASER Lipo allows
physicians to perform minor touch-ups as well as major transformations - with minimal downtime
and smooth, predictable results. The advanced minimally-invasive system is a gold standard for fat
removal, enabling physicians to create realistic curves and definition, even for hard-to fix spots.
VASER Lipo is also clinically proven to enhance skin tightening in treated areas.
VASER Lipo uses an advanced, ultrasonic technology that is tissue-selective. This FDA-cleared,
patented fat removal device targets only unwanted fat, preserving surrounding tissues—such as
nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue— to promote smooth contours and rapid healing.
Physicians can treat a wide range of body areas with the VASER Lipo system including: tummy, hips,
waist, “love handles,” thighs, back, “bra bulge,” buttocks, arms, male chests, female breasts, knees,
calves, “cankles,” ankles, chin and face. Specially designed thin suction tubes, are used to remove
the emulsified fluids (fat plus saline solution) while preserving the tissue matrix. The procedure can
be performed while the patient is awake or under general anesthesia and results in less bruising and
pain than traditional, more invasive procedures.
VASER Shape - A New Body Shaping Treatment
Link: http://vaser.com/
Product Description: VASER Shape is a non-invasive treatment that smooths, firms and shapes the
body by utilizing ultrasound energy to warm the targeted area and to treat the underlying sub-dermal
tissue. The treatment temporarily increases local blood circulation and stimulates the lymphatic
system to drain away excess fluids for removal from the body. This treatment takes the lunchtime lift
to a new level – in an hour, you will see immediate results, with very little discomfort and no downtime.
After 4 treatments, you’ll have a new body shape.
The average VASER Shape session time is about 30 minutes per body area. Treatments are usually
scheduled a week apart, with a lymphatic drainage session scheduled between each combined
ultrasound and massage session. Patients typically undergo a regimen of 4 to 5 total treatments,
although physicians report that many patients see improvement after the first session.
Following the procedure, patients can resume normal activity without pain or downtime.

must-have for highly processed or colored hair.
DIY Tweaks
How do we tweak ourselves during sweater weather? Is there something we do now in order to
be ready for spring?
We tend not to self tan as often this time of year and wear fall inspired shades on our lips and
wardrobe. Darker colored lipsticks and clothing can make teeth appear grayish or yellowing if your
skin doesn’t have enough depth to create a contrast. Brighten up your smile and not only will your
teeth look bright throughout the holidays, it takes years off your look.

After all those hours logged in at the gym or doctor's office, you might have some fine tuning to do to
your skin after significant weightloss. A topical cream like Mederma Stretch Marks Therapy will help
fade any stretch marks you may have after reaching your goals. Start applying it under your clothes
this winter and any existing stretch marks should be long gone by summer shorts season.
Mederma Stretch Marks Therapy

Product Description: Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy is an advanced cream formula that combines
a unique blend of ingredients: Cepalin®, Hyaluronic Acid and Centella Asiatica. In a recent clinical
study, 80% of participants reported visible improvement in the overall appearance of their stretch
marks after using New Mederma® Stretch Marks Therapy for 12 weeks.
I’m a big fan of taking care of any scarring whether it be blemishes or scrapes you got in summer that
the sun stained marks on your skin. Now I the time to treat these more than ever. First off you are not
in the sun as often so your skin has a fighting chance to heal without added damage and a cream like
Mederma takes time and patience to work, so by next season you can have a smoother complexion.

Product Description: The sun's UVA and UVB rays can make your scar look worse. Mederma®
Cream has sun protection factor (SPF) 30 to help protect it from sun exposure, and because it's
Mederma® it works to help make your scar softer and smoother. Like Mederma® Gel, Mederma®
Cream is effective on old and new scars resulting from surgery, accidents, injury, burns, acne and
stretch marks. And it's from the #1 doctor- and pharmacist-recommended brand for scars. With
Mederma® Cream, your scar can look better. So you can feel better.
While most of us cut back on bikini line maintenance this time of year, the Venus Bikini Kit is a quick,
easy way to keep your bikini line groomed well into fall without the pesky laser or waxing visits. Forget
awkward scissors and devices, just glide the trimmer over your bikini hair in a shaving motion to
neatly trim hair for the manicured look you want.

Product Description: For women looking for a full bikini solution, Venus Bikini comes as part of a
special bikini kit. The Venus Bikini kit includes Venus Bikini trimmer, Venus Embrace and an Olay
Bikini lotion, which provides soothing hydration to nourish the moisture barrier and leave skin looking
beautiful after shaving!
New Venus® Bikini is designed for women who want bikini-beautiful skin. Developed by the experts
who designed Venus Embrace, Venus Bikini trimmer is a safe and effective solution for trimming hair
in the bikini area. Venus Bikini trimmer is designed to be simple and quick to use. It features a
rounded, pivoting head and a single blade encased with a fine protective comb so it can be used just
like a razor, but it easily and safely trims hair instead. Venus Bikini trimmer’s special comb provides a
protective layer between the skin and the blade so that the blade safely trims hair to length without
ever touching the skin.
Venus Bikini trimmer is designed as the perfect complement to Venus Embrace. Together, both
products enable women to target their specific needs – trimming, cleaning, shaping … or a
combination of all three. Venus Bikini trims and maintains bikini hair while Venus Embrace cleans
and shapes the hair. Five blades surrounded by a Protective Ribbon of Moisture get virtually every hair
for a dramatically smooth bikini line, as well as legs and underarms.

Professional Tweaks
What are the hottest new professional treatments that are revolutionizing how we view plastic
surgery?
Celebrities are huge fans of radio frequency treatments like Thermage, but a revolutionary new
device is making it faster and easier to achieve these dramatic results without the six month waiting
period for results. Pellevé Wrinkle Reduction System, a revolutionary non-surgical, skin tightening
procedure works quickly to plump and rejuvenate skin. Unlike other popular radio frequency
treatments, Pellevé effectively treats facial wrinkles with virtually no pain and no downtime. Results
are visibly noticeable immediately after a single one-hour treatment and you are free to return to your
daily activities.
(We will have a table-top machine on hand to show how the wand works.)
With the help of this treatment it's possible to achieve the enviably firm, plump skin of celebrities like
Ellen Barkin and Linda Evangelista who swear by the effects of Thermage.
Pellevé
Link: http://www.pelleve.com
Product Description: Pellevé is a revolutionary non-surgical procedure to safely and effectively treat
facial wrinkles with virtually no pain and little downtime. Medical studies have proven that Pellevé is a
safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles without surgery. The side effects and
discomfort are minimal, and no drugs or anesthetics are used during the procedure. Unlike other
skin tightening systems, Pellevé doesn’t require anesthesia or skin cooling. Because the skin is not
numb, you can describe the depth of feeling to the doctor, which helps provide the best result in the
area being treated. The overall result is a noticeable improvement in skin quality and appearance with
minimal side effects and recovery time. Pellevé is virtually painless and requires no recovery time, so
it fits easily into busy schedules and can provide lasting improvement up to six months. Results can
be seen immediately following a single one-hour treatment.
Sweater weather also means it’s a good time to look and see if our body needs any professional
tweaking as well. Fall and winter are an excellent time to consider talking to a doctor or med spa since
less skin is being revealed which means more treatment options. The methods have become
increasingly easier to recover from and the prices are certainly coming down. Recovery is a half of
what it used to be and there are no more body girdles to wear for 6 weeks after.
VASER Lipo - Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction
Link: http://vaser.com/
Product Description: VASER Lipo is a next-generation ultrasound-assisted liposuction procedure
that uses sound waves to precisely break apart fat deposits for easy, safe removal, fast recovery and
smooth results. As a safe, minimally invasive alternative to traditional liposuction, VASER Lipo allows
physicians to perform minor touch-ups as well as major transformations - with minimal downtime
and smooth, predictable results. The advanced minimally-invasive system is a gold standard for fat
removal, enabling physicians to create realistic curves and definition, even for hard-to fix spots.
VASER Lipo is also clinically proven to enhance skin tightening in treated areas.
VASER Lipo uses an advanced, ultrasonic technology that is tissue-selective. This FDA-cleared,
patented fat removal device targets only unwanted fat, preserving surrounding tissues—such as
nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue— to promote smooth contours and rapid healing.
Physicians can treat a wide range of body areas with the VASER Lipo system including: tummy, hips,
waist, “love handles,” thighs, back, “bra bulge,” buttocks, arms, male chests, female breasts, knees,
calves, “cankles,” ankles, chin and face. Specially designed thin suction tubes, are used to remove
the emulsified fluids (fat plus saline solution) while preserving the tissue matrix. The procedure can
be performed while the patient is awake or under general anesthesia and results in less bruising and
pain than traditional, more invasive procedures.
VASER Shape - A New Body Shaping Treatment
Link: http://vaser.com/
Product Description: VASER Shape is a non-invasive treatment that smooths, firms and shapes the
body by utilizing ultrasound energy to warm the targeted area and to treat the underlying sub-dermal
tissue. The treatment temporarily increases local blood circulation and stimulates the lymphatic
system to drain away excess fluids for removal from the body. This treatment takes the lunchtime lift
to a new level – in an hour, you will see immediate results, with very little discomfort and no downtime.
After 4 treatments, you’ll have a new body shape.
The average VASER Shape session time is about 30 minutes per body area. Treatments are usually
scheduled a week apart, with a lymphatic drainage session scheduled between each combined
ultrasound and massage session. Patients typically undergo a regimen of 4 to 5 total treatments,
although physicians report that many patients see improvement after the first session.
Following the procedure, patients can resume normal activity without pain or downtime.
