Pelleve Skin Tightening at Jardin Medical Spa in Philadelphia

Introducing Pelleve at Jardin, a new FDA-cleared skin tightening procedure to safely and effectively treat facial wrinkles without surgery. Pelleve uses advanced radiowave technology to tighten the skin, the Pellevé system precisely heats the deep layers of the skin without damaging the epidermis, or top layer. The heat causes the collagen in the skin to contract and tighten. After treatment, the skin begins to produce new collagen, which improves skin firmness. The result is a naturally refreshed appearance.

Unlike other skin tightening systems, Pellevé doesn’t require anesthesia or skin cooling. Patients can expect to feel a deep warming sensation each time the handpiece touches the area being treated. Because the skin is not numb, the patient can describe the depth of the feeling to the doctor, which helps to ensure the best possible results. They can also return to home or work immediately. Side effects may include mild discomfort during the procedure within the treatment area. Mild swelling and redness may also occur and typically go away within 2 to 24 hours after treatment.

Pellevé can be used to treat the skin on the face, including the eye area. Many people start to see results after just one treatment, with lasting improvement in skin tightness and tone for up to six months. Because a full facial treatment takes only about an hour with little, if any, recovery time, Pellevé fits easily into busy schedules.

Permanent Makeup at Jardin Medical Spa in Philadelphia

Permanent Makeup at Jardin Medical Spa in Philadelphia can enhance any lifestyle. When I first heard of Permanent Makeup at Jardin Medical Spa, I had a preconceived idea in my head based on some permanent makeup I had seen. A lot of the permanent makeup that I had seen, especially eyebrows, looked very fake and painted on. In some cases the permanent make up looked okay on the person, but it was not something I would ever consider for myself. When Bonnie Hall, our new permanent makeup artist joined our team at Jardin, she right away told me I needed permanent makeup eyebrows ! Bonnie explained to me that our eyebrows are the most important feature on our face because they frame the eyes and enhance all our other features. Because I am fair and blonde and too busy with my schedule working for Jardin, I never have time in the mornings to fill them in, let alone get them even. When I do take the time, I end up wiping them off during the day, so I end up looking a tired or washed out. Bonnie took the time to educate me about the whole permanent makeup process; which I liked because it is how we are here at Jardin with all our own patience. She spent a lot of time drawing on my eyebrows in front of the mirror creating the best shape for my bone structure and wanted my feedback as part of the process for the approved shape. She then created a custom color that was better than any pencil or shadow that I ever purchase. This color was meant to work with my skin tone, coloring and lifestyle. Once that was done, she used the perfectly shaped eyebrows as the template for the permanent makeup. In 1 hour I had the most perfectly shaped, natural eyebrows that would not wash away!!! It completely changed my view on what Permanent make up really is. All of us at Jardin Medical Spa are lucky to be able to have the permanent makeup. It gives people a chance to see what it looks like in person when it is expertly done. I personally invite you to stop in and meet Bonnie Hall for a consultation for any permanent makeup procedure. She will show you her magic and talk to you about the best colors and shapes for your face, skin tone and lifestyle.

The Largest Organ in Your Body- Your Skin!

Your skin is more then just your face, although that’s what most people pay the most attention to. Your skin is actually the largest organ in your body and weighs probably more the you think. The skin of an average adult weighs 8-10 pounds and averages an area of 22 square feet.
What’s the secret to great skin? Not surprisingly, the state of our skin is affected by genes, nutrition, general health, emotional well-being and exercise. How you care for your skin play an important role in ensuring you look your best,
You’ve probably heard that skin is made up of skin cells. But you didn’t know that you have approximately 19 million skin cells on every square inch of skin!
Eat your veggies! Eating a wide range of vegetables– particularly those high in vitamins C and E (such as spinach, carrots, red bell peppers and tomatoes)- will ensure that your diet is rich in anti-oxidants, compounds that are believed to play an important roles in maintaining the health of both your body and your skin.
We’re all thin-skinned, in certain areas. The thickness of our skin varies considerably, depending on its location and the role it plays: Its thinnest on our eyelids and thickest on the palms of our hand and soles of feet.
Not sure of your skin type? Try this simple test. About 15 minutes after washing your face and patting it dry, press lens-cleaning paper on different part of you face. In those areas where you produce a lot of oil, the paper will stick or pick up oil. If it doesn’t anywhere, you have dry skin. If it only sticks on your forehead, nose and chin, you have normal or combination skin. If it sticks everywhere, you have oily skin.
Need to look after your skin? We specialize in skin care and will help you with a proper at home skin care, and also with treatments that will be most beneficial for you
