Mused after watching The Adam Project starring Ryan Reynolds. A time traveler, Mr. Reynolds travels back to his younger life to help the time he lives in. A feel-good movie on Netflix. Something we need more of in life right now.
YOUR BODY CLOCK NEEDS SUN IN THE MORNING
If you are like me, you don’t look forward to the twice a year time change. Often it takes days to become accustomed to it. You may have heard that the U.S. Senate recently passed a bill to make Day-light saving time (DST, what we are in now) permanent. Unfortunately, experts feel they picked the wrong time.
The Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) supports making standard time permanent. They state that our natural internal clocks are more associated with that method of time because it mirrors the sun more than DST.
(Did You Know? In the early 1970’s Congress passed a permanent DST but it was repealed in 1974 due to its unpopularity.)
Health risks are increased in changing times as well as chronic misalignment during permanent DST. There is an increased risk of heart attack and stroke as well as car accidents and medical errors.
During permanent DST, the extreme areas like the western edge of Indiana would not see the sunrise until 9 am at times. Simply put, the AASM, says it would be day after day, eating, being active and sleeping at the wrong time of day which would build up and affect us chronically.

SERVICES:
Cellulite?
Cellfina, www.cellfina.com, is the only FDA-cleared minimally invasive procedure clinically proven to improve the appearance of cellulite for at least three years. The best candidate has dimpling that is not caused by loose skin. The benefits are a long-lasting, single, in-office treatment that usually takes under an hour. No general anesthesia is needed and downtime is limited in most cases to the day of treatment. 96% of patients were satisfied after two years.
Permanent Makeup?
Micro-blading is a technique of applying permanent makeup to your eyebrows with individual strokes simulating individual hairs. We also do permanent eyeliner and lips.
Facial, Neck, Chest, or Hand Wrinkles? Brown Spots?
Collagen Induction Therapy or microneedling reduces pigmentation and improves wrinkles with virtually no down time. Multiple treatments are needed but can be done within an hour. Call for our packages.
Neck Bands or Hypersweating under Arms?
Botox can help with both. Come in for a free consult.
Weak Chin, Nasal Imperfections, Aging or Thin Earlobes?
Juvederm plumps chins and earlobes and sometimes nasal imperfections.
Leg Veins?
Sclerotherapy improves spider veins in your legs.
Do you have unsightly brown spots on your face, hands or body?
SkinCeuticals (many of you use their skincare products) has developed a “pen” that uses cryotherapy or freezes age and sun spots as well as skin tags. It uses carbon dioxide which freezes the superficial part of the skin at -79 degrees C. The technique is similar to when family physicians and dermatologists use liquid nitrogen to treat skin cancers.
The procedure takes just a few minutes. The area is cleansed then sprayed with CO2 to freeze the spot. There is very little if any temporary discomfort. Immediately after, Vitamin C is applied and so can makeup. Vitamin C and a sunscreen are encouraged and should be applied while healing.
The lesion will get darker and possibly scab before it sheds. It can take 7-21 days to shed completely. Healthy pink skin or lightening of the dark spot will appear. Maturation of the skin then follows the normal skin cycle of 6 weeks.
If the spot is appropriate, we charge $150 for the first three spots then $30 for each thereafter.
