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 […]

5 Ways To Entertain Your 1 Year Old

I can’t believe I’m writing an article about tips entertaining a one year old when I feel like Waylon just arrived last week! Time has flown by to say the least but boy has it been wild and fun and hard. Looking back, I’m not sure why I thought the infant stage was so hard? They sleep so much and you don’t have to spend your day preventing ER visits. I swear since Waylon started walking (on his first birthday) he has been full speed ever since. So I’ve been searching high and low for things to entertain him while he’s at home with me. I love spending time with him because it’s such a wonderful way for us to bond and teach him to learn and grow. However, coming up with fun and engaging activities to do at home can be challenging. Here are five activities that I found helpful that you can do at home with your 1-year-old that are both fun and educational. Sensory play is a great way to help your 1-year-old develop their senses and explore the world around them. You can set up a sensory bin filled with items such as dry pasta, pompoms, […]

Seeing Is Believing – LensCrafters

admin — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 21:42:33 +0000

I know this is crazy, but I haven’t had my vision checked in over five years. My eyes rarely bother me and my vision has always seemed to be fine. However, it is recommended to get an eye exam annually, so I figured it was definitely time for me to get checked! I’m a busy lady, so quick and painless appointments are what I’m all about. I visited the Grand Opening of the new LensCrafters at Ballston Quarter. The associates there streamlined everything so it was seamless. I was amazed at the high-tech experience, and the assistant and optometrist I saw were both extremely professional and put me at ease. I’m not a fan of doctors’ visits, they always give me anxiety. However, with the immaculate new store design and the care of the doctor and the associates, this didn’t feel like a doctors’ appointment at all – more like a visit to a really chic boutique. The actual eye exam was a breeze. LensCrafters offers a digital eye exam that is efficient, but extremely precise and very thorough. It was so thorough that surprisingly, the doctor discovered a slight astigmatism in my left eye. An astigmatism is nothing harmful […]
