The best candidate is someone who wants to improve their figure without surgery. They may have cellulite and/or excess body fat that they can’t get rid of with diet and exercise alone. An ideal candidate is also someone who is starting to lose elasticity in their skin and is showing early signs of sagging. For safety reasons, you may not be able to get this treatment if you have/are: Active inflammation and/or infection in the treatment area Current or history of cancer A degenerative neurologic disease or any other disease around the treatment area that’s stimulated by heat (e.g. herpes) An Internal defibrillator/pacemaker Metal implants (excluding dental) in the treatment area Uncontrolled thyroid gland disorder Varicose veins Pregnant or are undergoing an IVF procedure Skin-related autoimmune diseases Silicone implants and/or injections in the area

Each session lasts 15-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Treatments are done once a week.

Just make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams or makeup before your treatment. Remove all jewelry around the area being treated.

Most patients receive 6-8 treatments per area. The exact number will depend on each individual person and the area being treated.

The applicator will slowly get warmer till your skin reaches the needed temperature and stays within that temperature range. But if you do feel it’s too hot, just let the operator know and they can easily lower the temperature a bit. If the technician is using the VariPulse™ feature (with Venus Legacy™), you will also feel a gentle suction on your skin, like a very low-power vacuum, as the applicator moves around the area. This can also be lowered if needed.

BOTOX® Cosmetic Injections most popular amongst individuals between the ages of 30 and 60, however there is growth in the number of younger people seeking BOTOX®, as it is very effective at prevention.

No! Your face will not get worse if you stop using BOTOX® Cosmetic or when it wears off. In fact, even as time goes on, the face often looks better than had it never been treated.

After receiving BOTOX® treatment, your results will become evident within approximately 3-5 days, and after 10 days you will notice the complete result. BOTOX® Cosmetic is not permanent. It lasts between 3-4 months on average but everyone is different.

BOTOX® Injections are extremely safe and having been used since 2002, have established a strong safety track record. While some people initially express reservations about undergoing BOTOX® injections, rest assured that BOTOX® remains localized at the injection site and does not spread throughout the body.

BOTOX® is a quick procedure that delivers dramatic results. After receiving your treatment, you can get back to your busy day, as the needles we use are extremely fine, and typically don’t leave noticeable marks on your face. Some patients may experience a bit of redness or a tiny bruise at the injection site, which can easily be concealed with a light application of makeup.

The average fee for BOTOX® is $10/unit for most areas. At your initial consultation, you will be provided with the actual cost of your BOTOX® treatment, based on an assessment of your face.

Most of our patients feel that the pain of BOTOX® injections is very mild, and well worth the results that they are able to achieve. The pain is minimal, chiefly because the microneedles used for BOTOX® injections are very fine, and our highly experienced injectors are able to perform the procedure as painlessly as possible by administering highly controlled and delicate injections. For those who are scared of needles, we offer ice packs or an anesthetic cream that will minimize the sensation even further. In addition, we have a unique device that is able to effectively dull the sensation of the injections.

Muscle relaxants or Neuromodulators can be used to address a wide variety of concerns. Sometimes muscle relaxants are used on their own, and other times they are used in conjunction with dermal fillers to provide the desired result. At your consultation, your practitioner will assess your face and then come up with a recommendation based, taking into consideration what you’d like to achieve. While there are many uses for muscle relaxants, some of the more popular uses are as follows: - Frown lines - Sunken Brow (Brow Shaping and Brown Lifitng) - Forehead Lines - Crow’s feet - Nasal Bunny Lines - Excessive sweating - Jawline (giving the appearance of a narrower jaw) - Skin sagging - Vertical lip lines (smoker’s lines) - Downturned corners of mouth - Non-surgical facelift

Many people suffer from an incredible disruption to their lives because of hyperhidrosis— or excessive, severe sweating— that is resistant to any treatment by anti-perspirants and other remedies. ​ You may have heard about Botox® treatment for hyperhidrosis, but unfortunately not a lot of information exists for this highly effective, FDA approved treatment. Fortunately, at Body Polish, our highly-qualified Nurse Injectors are experienced in treating this issue.

Unfortunately, some Hollywood celebrities have used such high doses of BOTOX® that they have been left with a frozen, unnatural look, which has become instant fodder for celebrity magazines and blogs. You can rest assured that after receiving BOTOX® treatment at Body Polish you will have a very natural appearance. While you will definitely notice a marked improvement, the results will not be radical, and it will not be obvious that you’ve had a procedure. You will look like yourself, only younger, fresher, and more relaxed. You will still be able to make facial expressions.

Treatments can take anywhere from 5-30 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.

Patients describe a range of sensations from tingling to the snap of a rubber band during the treatment.

Many patients experience immediate improvement in the appearance of their veins following the treatment followed by continued improvement over the next week or so.

A series of treatments may be needed to fully clear blood vessels and reduce the appearance of the veins completely. Typically, one to four sessions are needed for desired results.

The treatments are cumulative. After your final treatment, your results will continue to improve for up to 3-4 months. After that, your face and body continue to age, so maintenance is recommended once a month or every 3-4 months, depending on the person.

No, you do not need to do anything after your treatment.

You’ll likely feel relaxed. The treatment is comfortable and some patients have even fallen asleep. The area may feel warm to the touch, but other than that, you’ll feel perfectly normal.

To get the best results from a Venus Glow™ Facial treatment, or a series of treatments, you should speak to your skin care professional to discuss your specific skin concerns and goals and to develop an appropriate treatment plan. Anyone can receive a Venus Glow™ facial treatment; however, for safety reasons, you may not be able to get this treatment if you have/are: - Superficial metal or other implants in the treatment area - Current or history of cancer, or current condition of any type of cancer, or pre-malignant moles - Pregnant and nursing - Any active condition in the treatment area, such as sores, psoriasis, eczema, and rash - History of skin disorders, keloids, abnormal wound healing, including very dry and fragile skin or very easy bruising - Any surgical procedure in the treatment area within the last three months or before complete healing - Inflamed/pustular acne lesions - Undergone facial laser resurfacing and deep chemical peeling within the last month - In case of Botox injection, natural fillers and/or implants in the treatment area, wait one month after the last injection before starting a treatment

Your skin care professional will suggest appropriate post-care, which will generally include wearing sunscreen, especially after a Venus Glow™ facial treatment with a customized Glow Serums treatment.

There is absolutely no downtime! The treatment area may appear slightly flushed, which is normal, and should resolve quickly. You’ll notice that your skin will have an instant glow after the treatment.

Yes! This treatment is for all skin tones.

You may feel the gentle suction of the applicator on your skin as the technician moves the tip across the treatment area. You may also feel a slight coolness as the Glow Serums cleanse and treat your skin. There is no pain or discomfort associated with the treatment, rather most patients find it to be a very relaxing treatment experience.

Results are instant. Your skin will look noticeably healthier, cleaner, and more hydrated immediately after each treatment session. A series of treatments may be suggested to you for the best long-term results depending on your skin care goals.

Your skin should be clean and free of makeup, lotions, and/or creams immediately before your treatment. Check with your skin care provider for specific pre and post treatment instructions.

Chemical peels improve skin texture and firmness, decreasing fine lines and wrinkles. Peels also even out skin tone, improve acne-prone skin and reduce pore size appearance.

Results vary from person to person. With sun protection and a good skincare regime, results can last months, even years.

It depends on the strength of the peel. Immediately after treatment the skin may be red and tight and peeling can last anywhere from 3-5 days. Be sure to be using a gentle cleanser, toner and sunscreen following a peel and avoid strenuous activity for 2-3 days prior. It is important to stay out of the sun while peeling to avoid hyperpigmentation and picking/peeling the skin is prohibited as it can lead to scarring. Topical prescriptions can be continued 3-5 days after your peel.

Chemical peels cause intentional damage to the epidermis and/or dermis with the goal of stimulating new tissue to improve skin texture and tone. Chemical peels have been used dating back to Ancient Egypt. Cleopatra used sour milk to improve the appearance of her skin, according to some sources. Lactic acid (an alpha hydroxy acid) is the active ingredient in sour milk.

Chemical peels are classified as superficial, medium or deep, depending on the depth of penetration of the ingredients used. Superficial peels exfoliate to various levels of the epidermis. Medium-depth peels treat through the papillary dermis and deep peels to the mid-reticular dermis. The strength of a chemical peel is determined by the type of ingredients used, their concentrations and the pH of the formulation.

Procedures may vary depending on the type of peel. When the chemical solution is applied to the face, sensations include a mild stinging or tingling which is temporary and lasts 3-5 minutes until the peel neutralizes.

For teens struggling with severe acne, a facial every other week or at least once a month may be appropriate. Teens who have some flare-ups can maintain clear, healthy skin with facials three or four times a year to start off their skin care regime.

Regardless of the type of facial you do or the product line being used, a facial will only cleanse, hydrate, purify, and promote clear skin. A facial is a relaxing, pampering experience and will not treat a condition such as scarring or rosacea. Regular facials promote the health of your skin and will lessen breakouts, congestion and other concerns from worsening. A facial is a healthy procedure for the skin but will not “cure” a skin concern. If you have one of the conditions mentioned above you need advanced treatments found in “MediSpa Facials".

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation process that does not use acids or enzymes to remove dead skin cells. All of the exfoliation is achieved during your treatment and you will not peel or visibly shed skin after your service, while Chemical Peels can result in dramatic peeling in the days following a service. Dermaplaning provides a good alternative to peels for those who desire professional grade exfoliation without the potential social downtime.

Dermaplaning is a painless treatment that includes deep cleansing, professional exfoliation. Dermaplaning is followed by restorative treatment and finished with skin care suited to your unique skin. Dermaplaning has a similar sensation to close a shave which removes vellus hair and dead skin cells simultaneously.

Dermaplaning removes 21 days worth of dead skin cells, so it’s best to allow the skin to complete its rejuvenation cycle before your next treatment.

You will immediately look more radiant with a more even skin tone and texture. While the main objective of this treatment is exfoliation, the immediate removal of peach fuzz is an added benefit which renders the skin exceptionally smooth and soft. Skin care products are better able to penetrate the skin following a Dermaplaning service which allows them to work more efficiently. After the treatment, your skin will be highly sensitive to sun exposure and may look pink, so be sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation.

No, Dermaplaning will not alter your natural hair growth. Hair will continue to grow as previously.

Dermaplaning is recommended for all skin types except those with active breakout, anyone using topical Retinol or Accutance and men with heavy facial hair. If you have active acne there are other treatments available that would be more beneficial, and it is necessary to wait until breakouts are healed before trying this treatment. As always, also discuss any allergies or skin sensitivities before starting a treatment. This is a great treatment if you are pregnant or nursing and want exfoliation without the use of chemicals.

After a Dermaplaning treatment your skin needs time to heal and restore. Treat the skin gently, using only hands to cleanse for at least 2 days and wearing sunscreen every day. For best results, use skincare routine recommended by your technician/specialist.

The best candidate for Venus Versa™ photofacial treatments is someone with uneven complexion and skin texture concerns, including discolorations, sun spots, café-au-lait spots, port wine stains, rosacea, and visible veins on their skin. However, it should be noted that for safety reasons, an individual may not be an ideal candidate if they have any of the following: Metal or other implants in the treatment area A current diagnosis or history of cancer Are pregnant or nursing A disease or condition that can be stimulated by light, such as epilepsy A history of a disease or condition that can be stimulated by heat, such as herpes Poorly-controlled endocrine disorders, such as diabetes or polycystic ovary syndrome Any active skin condition in the treatment area, such eczema, psoriasis, or a rash A history of skin disorders, keloids, unusual wound healing, or excessively dry and/or sensitive skin Any surgical procedures within the past three months A tattoo or permanent makeup in the treatment area Excessively tanned skin

Ensure the treatment area is clean prior to each appointment. Do not apply lotions, creams, powders, or makeup before each treatment session, and stop using any products that might irritate skin two to three days prior to treatment. Avoid tanning, including with self-tanners, two weeks before and two weeks after treatment, and use sunscreen and sun protection (like layers and hats) whenever going outdoors—even in cloudy weather. If possible, patients should have their complete medical history available in case it is required by the treatment provider. Following treatments, skin may feel warm, like a sunburn, and may remain red for up to 24 hours. Makeup may be applied to neutralize redness immediately following treatment, though it is recommended to apply sunscreen first. Hot baths, massages, or other activities requiring direct skin contact should be avoided for the first two days post-treatment. Be sure to follow instructions for before and after each treatment as outlined by the treatment provider.

Each session typically takes just 15–20 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule or a short lunch break. You may apply makeup and go about your regular activities immediately following treatment. For best results, book each appointment with some space between any treatments or activities that require direct contact with skin in the treatment area for 48 hours following each treatment.

While treatments are often most effective for light to medium skin tones, Venus Versa™ treatments are safe for darker skin tones. However, to determine if an individual may be at risk of discoloration, it’s best to consult directly with a certified treatment technician.

Most patients receive 4-5 treatments per area, each spaced three weeks apart. The exact number will depend on each individual person and the area being treated. A certified treatment provider will be able to outline the best treatment plan based on each patient’s individual needs. How long results are maintained also varies from patient to patient and is dependent on how the skin reacts to the treatment and the level of skin care post-procedure. For example, results will last longer if skin is protected from the sun daily. In most cases, one touch-up session is recommended approximately every three to six months, depending on the skin’s response to the treatment.

Our hair naturally grows in 3 different stages. All our hair is not in the same stage at the same time, so when an area is treated only a percentage of hair follicles will be affected. Therefore, to effectively reduce your unwanted hair, multiple treatments are necessary.

A series of 3-6 treatments is recommended for optimal results but, every patient is different. Work with your provider to develop a plan that is right for you!

This treatment is safe for all skin types, including light and dark skin and most hair colors. Book a free consultation with one of our laser technicians to determine the best treatment options for you!

Treatments are virtually painless and will vary patient to patient. Patients describe a range of sensations during treatment from tingling to the snapping of a rubber band.

You can expect to see a gradual decrease in the hair thickness and in the amount of hair present. In addition, you may also see a decrease in stubble, rashes and ingrown hairs!

Treatments can take from just 5-60 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.
