There are so many special events in the fall and winter.  Weddings, holiday parties, New Year's Eve parties.   Events where you want to really look your best.  Believe it or not, that takes a little advance planning!  We are preparing for our daughter's wedding.  I am going to wear one of those dresses that, well,  a) show my arms, b) show my curves, c) show my decolletage, and d) show my back.   Pretty scary, right?  Not to mention that of course my face needs a little attention.  So... I created a to-do timeline for me to look my best, and I thought I would share it with you. And keep in mind that this is not just a to-do for weddings, you can use if you simply want to continue looking your best.

My first to-do is CoolSculpting under my chin, my outer thighs, my abdomen, and my arms.  I am in pretty good shape but I don't want excess fat hanging around showing anywhere near my FABULOUS dress!  This is three months out from the event, because it takes time for the body to naturally eliminate the dead fat cells.

Next is micro-needling.  I have been doing this, but I am going in to Vitality Skin & Body medical spa at two months before and again at one month before the wedding.  It really is amazing how this perks up your skin, eliminates lines, and gives you a refreshed look.  When I have micro-needling done, the lines in my decolletage area disappear almost completely, and that is important for a plunging neckline dress.

Then, I am going to get a little Juvederm in my lips to give them a nice plump look and eliminate those little vertical wrinkles that start to creep around your lip area.   And, I will have the gals at Vitality Skin & Body work on the wrinkles around my eyes and forehead with Botox.  This I will do about two weeks out from the wedding, as well as photo rejuvenation IPL to tackle the brown spots on my forehead and decolletage area. 

After that, I think I will be good to go!  Confident that I look my best for this wonderful occasion.   I really do recommend that you do advance planning for your special events.  You can call the skin care professionals at Vitality Skin & Body in Scottsdale for a complimentary consultation.  They are well trained, really good listeners, and can help you decide both the necessary treatments and timeline to get you ready.  The phone number is 480-203-3918 or e-mail them to schedule.

I have three of them - the trifecta of being a side sleeping pillow hugger.  And the older I get, the deeper they get.  How rude.  BUT, I'm not taking this lying down.  No pun intended.  I hated the deep wrinkles showing in any kind of tank top, dress, bathing suit - anything where this area showed.  It completely did not match my face, which has been well taken care of by the talented medical staff at Vitality Skin & Body medical spa in Scottsdale.

The staff there recommended micro-needling on this area to have my body produce collagen to repair the wrinkles.  I trust the staff there, so I decided to give it a whirl.  I can tell you that I am in shock.  Seriously.  After one treatment the depth of the lines is substantially minimized.  I can still see them but it is not nearly as deep or obvious as before.  They tell me that I need to continue the micro-needling to see best results, and I will.  I am also going to have my neck done, as I am not happy with the wrinkling that is happening there.   According to the Vitality Skin & Body medical staff, the micro-needling procedure is one of the most effective and cost-effective skin treatments out there, because the micro-needling stimulates your body to  produce its own collagen, repairing the skin for a lasting impact.  

Micro-needling can dramatically improve the appearance of your skin in just a few treatment sessions (in some cases only a single treatment session).  Schedule your complimentary consultation at Vitality Skin & Body medical spa now.  Be sure to call Vitality Skin & Body today at 480-203-3918 to schedule your complimentary consultation or e-mail us for more info.  Vitality Skin & Body medical spa is conveniently located just west of the 101 on Shea Blvd. in Scottsdale - easy to get to from Tempe, Phoenix, Glendale and Peoria.  It's worth wherever you drive from, because the Vitality Skin & Body medical spa has the expert medical staff to help you meet your beauty goals.
