Fat thighs. Hairy arms. Muffin tops. Breasts that are too big or not big enough. To the long list of body parts that adolescent girls worry about and want to tinker with, the Internet age has added a new one: the vulva.

So many teenagers are seeking cosmetic surgery to trim or shape the external genitalia that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issued guidance from its Committee on Adolescent Health Care to doctors last week, urging them to teach and to reassure patients, suggest alternatives to surgery that may alleviate discomfort, and screen them for a psychiatric disorder that causes obsession about perceived physical defects.

Let’s face it; veins on the delicate skin of your face and unsightly discoloration on your legs are not part of the look we all want. We want smooth, beautiful skin that everyone will adore.

The facial, which is technically a Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment, is one of the best anti-aging procedures out there. PRP is created from your own blood. It involves a simple blood draw into a special test tube, which is then spun in a centrifuge so that the plasma, with millions of platelets, floats to the top. The PRP solution is then used in tandem with micro needling, creating hundreds of microscopic holes in the skin and the solution is applied to the skin after the holes have been made.

Ultherapy, or Ulthera, will tone loose or wrinkled skin by using the body’s own healing response. Ulthera will tighten the neck and jowls or lift a sagging brow, for example, which in turn reduces the excess eyelid skin, giving the eyes a more refreshed appearance. It requires no special preparation and results typically appear after one treatment. The ultimate lifting will take two to three months, as rejuvenated, stronger collagen replaces the existing tired collagen in your skin.

The microdermabrasion procedures are quick, affordable procedures leaving your skin refreshed with no downtime. This procedure works by removing dead skin cells and stimulating new cell growth. They are also fantastic for long-term skin care maintenance following more aggressive cosmetic laser treatments.

Originally used to smooth out frown-lines and crow’s feet, it was never going to be long before Botox was taken to other parts of the body. 

And whilst usually associated with the frozen faces of women, it’s now men getting in on the Botox action - but not just for their faces.

Men are now having Botox - the neurotoxin drug that temporarily paralyses muscles - injected into their scrota.

Botox is one of the most popular injection treatments for a variety of reasons; however, there are still a few misconceptions about what it does, does not do, and who are the best candidates. 

Before you decide to head to SkinSpaMED for a Botox consultation, we can help dispel some of the myths out there! Here are four of them:

There are so many injectibles on the market, from neurotoxins to dermal fillers, it’s a challenge to keep them all straight – let alone determine the best fit for you.

With two of the more popular injections being Botox and Dysport, the biggest question asked in both the Dallas and Colleyville SkinSpaMED locations is: “what’s the difference?”

Mystic Tan is a full body, DHA tanning process that utilizes MagneTan technology, a revolutionary process that allows the booth to apply a uniform amount of tanning solution to all parts of the body. When the Mystic Tan solution passes through the booth’s nozzles, the particles of solution are polarized, taking on the characteristics of tiny magnets. MagneTan technology uses the body’s own magnetic properties to attract the solution particles to all surfaces of the skin. 

The PRP Facelift is a procedure that involves withdrawing a patient's blood, processing it to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) then re-injecting it to erase wrinkles and create a more youthful look. 

Many people are now looking for non-invasive solutions to problems such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin. Invasive treatments can be painful, carry more risks, and have more downtime than non-invasive ones, such as the Venus Freeze.
