A NOTE FROM KIM: When to Start Popular Cosmetic Treatments for the Best Results

Mar 07, 2025

Planning your cosmetic treatments in advance ensures optimal results, especially if you have a special event or long-term aesthetic goals. Injectables like Botox should typically be started 3–4 weeks before an event to allow the product to settle and provide a natural, refreshed look. Dermal fillers, which add volume and contour, should be done at least 4–6 weeks prior to allow for any swelling to subside. If you’re considering laser treatments for skin rejuvenation or hair removal, it’s best to start 3–6 months in advance, as multiple sessions may be needed for the best outcome. Chemical peels and facials, ideal for improving skin texture and radiance, can be done 2–4 weeks before a big event, depending on the intensity of the treatment.

Consistent treatments not only enhance your appearance but also improve long-term skin health. Botox, for instance, helps prevent deep wrinkles over time, while fillers stimulate collagen production for firmer skin.

Laser treatments reduce sun damage and promote skin renewal, and chemical peels keep your complexion smooth and even. Planning ahead ensures you achieve a naturally refreshed look without rushing recovery, allowing you to feel confident and radiant when it matters most. Always consult with one of our trusted providers to customize a treatment plan that fits your skin’s needs and timeline.

ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH VITAMIN D?

Vitamin D is essential for good health and has many important functions in the body such as helping the body absorb calcium and regulate hormones. It is important to make sure that you are getting enough vitamin D in your diet or through supplementation if necessary. Vitamin D has multiple health benefits, such as reducing the risk of osteoporosis, some cancers, cognitive decline and autoimmune diseases. It is also important for proper immune system functioning and helps the body regulate inflammation and many other processes.  Not only is vitamin D important for the body, it is also important for mental health and mood. Research has shown that there is a link between adequate vitamin D levels and good overall psychological wellbeing. Therefore, it is important to make sure that you are getting enough vitamin D to stay healthy and keep the body and mind functioning optimally.

SUMMER IS HERE AND WE WANT EVERYONE TO BE CONSCIOUS OF HOW IMPORTANT WEARING SUNSCREEN IS

Here are the benefits of investing in a good sunscreen 50 SPF or higher: Prevents early aging signs: With little to no protection, repetitive sun exposure can harm your skin’s elastin, collagen, and skin cells. Early aging signs like skin discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles, and a leathery appearance may ultimately result from this. Without sun protection, people are more likely to age prematurely or photoaged, especially those who are in their 20s and 30s. But regular use of sunscreen can reduce photoaging and prevent early aging signs. Reduces skin inflammation: When subjected to UV radiation, our epidermis can become red and swollen. Direct exposure to the skin damaging UV rays exacerbates skin conditions like eczema and rosacea and can worsen the condition. Regular application of sunblock lowers the chance of inflammation caused by these harmful rays. If you have sensitive skin that is prone to redness, look for a sunscreen that contains gentle chemicals like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Sun Screen lowers the chances of skin cancer. Wearing sunscreen every day, even in the rain or on cloudy days, is one of the best ways to avoid skin cancer. Wearing sunscreen also enhances the health of your skin: The essential skin proteins, such as collagen, keratin, and elastin, are protected by sunscreen. These proteins are required for keeping the skin smooth and healthy. Make sure your sunblock has titanium dioxide in it to help reflect UV rays away from the skin and protect the activity of these proteins. Be sure to reapply every two hours when you are out in direct sunlight. Hope you all have a fantastic summer!

The importance of medical grade skincare cannot be overstated when it comes to maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin. Unlike over-the-counter products, medical grade skincare is formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients that have been scientifically proven to be effective. These products undergo rigorous testing and adhere to strict standards set by dermatologists and other medical professionals, ensuring that they are safe and reliable.

One of the main advantages of medical grade skincare is that it can target specific skin concerns, such as acne, aging, hyperpigmentation, and rosacea.

These products contain potent ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C, which can penetrate deeper into the skin to deliver optimal results. Additionally, medical grade skincare is often free from harmful additives, fragrances, and pore-clogging ingredients, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin types.

Investing in medical grade skincare not only helps to improve skin health but also provides long-lasting benefits by addressing the root causes of common skin issues. So, whether you're looking to prevent premature aging or effectively treat a specific skin concern, incorporating medical grade skincare into your daily routine is a wise decision that can lead to healthier, more radiant skin.
