All About RF Microneedling

admin — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 20:36:58 +0000

I recently had the opportunity to try out RF micro needling at OVME spa at the Mosaic District (they also have a location in Bethesda and DC) and I’ve been blown away by the results. I’ve been dying to try this procedure for years after hearing multiple friends that have amazing results and seeing many life changing before/afters on social media. I’m almost 39, so aging is top of mind for me as I approach 40. But I’m all about aging in a graceful way, so I also want to help my skin look youthful and plump without looking like a different person. I think this procedure really hits the nail on the head and is something I would recommend to anyone who is looking to reduce the signs of aging, wanting to get rid of acne scarring, enlarged pores etc. What is RF Microneedling? RF microneedling is a non-invasive treatment that uses RF energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, while microneedles create tiny punctures on the surface of the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing process and collagen production, resulting in improved skin texture, tone, and elasticity. The procedure involves the use of a […]

Sarah Akram – The Celebrity Facial Everyone Is Talking About

admin — Tue, 19 Mar 2019 15:56:34 +0000

When it comes to my skin there are two people I trust, my dermatologist and Sarah Akram. Working in this field, I’ve been blessed with many invitations to local spas to try out treatments. While they are all relaxing and most of them have been wonderful experiences, I’ve never walked away with results like what I see when I leave Sarah Akram’s office. There is so much noise in the skincare field telling us what treatments we should be doing, what injections to get and what products you need to be slathering on our faces so it’s very important to find someone you trust with your skin. After trying and testing out most of the top spas in the area, it’s safe for me to say that I think that Sarah Akram is the best in the DMV, if not the entire country. Not only because you see major results when you leave but it’s because she listens to your skincare concerns and personalizes your facial to YOU! She’s a huge believer in preventative maintenance and says with monthly facials (like the ones she gives) you won’t even think twice about getting botox. Sarah has figured out a way to […]

These Bags Are Not Designer: MOM LIFE

admin — Wed, 09 May 2018 11:00:35 +0000

These Bags Are Not Designer … the real mom life. I have to be honest, I have never been too in to self care, health and wellness until lil’ miss Adaline came about. Grey hair, baggy eyes, dark circles and dried skin have never really been a concern until welllllll … love you baby A, but right about the time she arrived. Working a full time job while still coming home and taking care of her for 4-6 hours each week day has brought about more dark circles and fine lines than I could ever imagine. Im not sure what sleeping in till 6am is like. Who knows if I ever will see that again. Maybe when she’s a teen? Only one can hope. All I know is that my baggy eyes don’t lie, and girl … these bags sure as hell are not designer. “MOMLIFE” is stamped on my forhead for all to be seen, and it’s time to take action. The past month I have really made the EFFORT to put a little more thought in to myself. It has been baby, baby, baby for a year and I have lost track on my own self care. Now that she […]

This Mask Is So Good You Can Skip The Spa

This Mask Is So Good You Can Skip The Spa.. Keeping with a skin care routine can be hard. Hell, sometimes I don’t have the energy to take my makeup off before bed. So sticking to an entire planned out skin regimen seems like something that is just beyond my capabilities. When I’m home with my entire medicine cabinet full of products at my fingertips, I am more apt to following the steps I need to take towards getting that glowing skin but when I’m living out of my suitcase for a week and you can kiss any progress I may have been making sayonara. Packing all of your beauty products can be so daunting when traveling. Mostly because if you decide to bring a full sized product with you, that automatically means you have to check your bag. Which also means adding on at least an extra hour of time at the airport and who wants that? So when I head out on a trip, I usually pair down my skincare approach to fit my travel needs and that means pretty much everything I pack is travel sized. Which means, most of my beloved masks, serums, lotions and such are […]
