Product Highlight – Skin Lightening Gel from DermaCulture

Treat pigmentation while combating and preventing aging! Our advanced formula Skin Lightening Gel uses the perfect blend of ingredients to combat many conditions of the skin. The combination of glycolic acid, hydroquinone and ascorbic acid, will rejuvenate your skin, giving you a more youthful, brighter complexion.

Suffering from discoloration and uneven skin tone from acne scarring or sun damage is a common issue.  Our Skin Lightening Gel uses 2% hydroquinone which causes the skin to inhibit the melanin production that leads to pigmentation. Further, our formula includes glycolic exfoliating agents, which dissolve and slough off dead skin cells, encouraging the generation of new, healthy skin.  Additionally, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is included in the formula to counteract any skin irritation and provides antioxidants to reduce damaging free radicals, that are responsible for the start of the chain of events that damage skin.

This wonderful cocktail of ingredients is essential for everyone’s daily skin care regimen.  It is great for all skin types and ages, for skin repair, maintenance and damage prevention.

TIP:  Because some skin types are more sensitive to the sun with hydroquinone, it is recommended to use this product at bedtime before application of your night moisturizer.  Also, don’t forget to use your sunscreen daily to maximize your results!

 

Complementary and Alternative Health Care – Massage Therapy

Studying complementary and alternative health care has led us to review some of the practices at leading clinics and hospitals nationwide. One of the most famous is the Mayo Clinic that has a great YouTube Channel with many resources concerning health care and treatments, including complementary and alternative health care like Massage Therapy.

Dr. Brent Bauer, a Mayo Clinic specialist in complementary and alternative medicine discusses Mayo Clinics evidence-based approach to alternative medicine. For more information about the use of alternative medicine at Mayo Clinic, click here: http://www.mayoclinic.org/complementary-alternative-medicine/

Reduce pain, reduce tension and reduce anxiety through routine Massage Therapy. Often recommended to patients for stress management massage therapy is one of our leading treatments at Bella Fontana Spa and we can work with your Medical Doctor, Chiropractor or other health professional to ensure that your treatments meet your needs.

Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage therapists typically use their hands and fingers for massage but may also use their forearms, elbows and even feet. Massage may range from light stroking to deep pressure techniques. The Mayo Clinic provides the following information about massage:

There are many different types of massage, including these common types:

• Swedish massage. This is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping to help relax and energize you.
• Deep-tissue massage. This massage technique uses slower, more forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, commonly to help with muscle damage from injuries.
• Sports massage. This is similar to Swedish massage but is geared toward people involved in sport activities to help prevent or treat injuries.
• Trigger point massage. This massage focuses on trigger points, or sensitive areas of tight muscle fibers that can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse.

Benefits of massage

Massage is generally considered part of complementary and alternative medicine. It’s increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.

While more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, some studies have found massage helpful for:

• Stress relief
• Managing anxiety and depression
• Pain
• Stiffness
• Blood pressure control
• Infant growth
• Sports-related injuries
• Boosting immunity
• Cancer treatment

Beyond the benefits for specific conditions or diseases, some people enjoy massage because it often involves caring, comfort, a sense of empowerment and creating deep connections with their massage therapist.

We agree with these principles and further believe that a great connection with our staff and the space and feel of our facility helps you achieve many of these benefits. In addition, we schedule staff for availability to our clients and patients six days per week. Our staff make notes about your treatments and the information you provide to us about your health are available to the staff that will be seeing you on any given day. If you have any questions, please consult with our Concierge Desk or the Operations Manager for assistance with our policies, pricing and services.

Massage is more than just rewarding ‘me time’. It is a method for maintaining your health and sense of well-being. Maintaining your range of motion, flexibility and enhancing the effectiveness of your circulatory system are just some of the body benefits, and there are more because massage is also about your mind and emotional well-being as well. Relieve stress, improve posture, encourage relaxation and benefit from improved breathing, lower blood pressure and other measureable benefits from regular, maintenance massage. You deserve it!

We also offer specialized modalities that improve facial tone, relieve headaches, utilize reflexology techniques and more to help you achieve your special goals and peak performance. After all, only when you take care of yourself can you be the lifeline to take care of those your love and help them reach their dreams.

Body Treatments (Body Wrap) at the Spa and for Home

Taking care of your skin beyond your face is one of our specialties! Our treatments include exfoliation and steam infusing ayurvedic and essential oils into your skin resulting in smoother and softer skin all over.

To exfoliate we use either a Dead Sea or evaporated sea salt with a blend of various Ayurvedic oils that might include almond, grapeseed, apricot kernel, safflower, sunflower or avocado oil, Vitamin E and essential oils like lavender, peppermint, rosemary, vanilla, tangerine, cedar sage or eucalyptus. We bring in different scrubs based on the season and their cooling or warming effect. In and of themselves, salt scrubs blended with the Ayurvedic oils help to release toxins and this is intensified by the steam infusion. Our steam bed typically feels warm and comfortable as you lie on your back with your head out of the capsule.

Another exfoliation treatment is blended with Organic Brown Sugar (70%) and with the Ayurvedic Oils contains natural fatty acids that leave you with healthy and visibly radiant skin. The natural alpha-hydroxy-acids found in brown sugar help feed the skin’s surface and create greater elasticity, locks in moisture and firms up the texture of the skin while detoxifying in the steam. The essential oils in these blends are french vanilla latte with french roast coffee and vanilla extract, chocolate peppermint, mango ginger, cranberry, vanilla orange, desert blossom and rest and relax with kava kava, valerian and lavender.

Both the Sugar and Salt Scrubs are available in our Bella Boutique for you to extend your treatment and use at home!

Take your detoxification and exfoliation a little further with our extended body treatments using marine blue algae, volcanic clay, lactic clay or lactic clay with herbs. In these treatments we exfoliate and rinse first using a sugar or salt scrub, then apply the body treatment and then steam for 20 minutes. You will feel great!

Whether you want to detox, enrich or simply exfoliate and smooth, we have the right body treatment for you! Check out packages online to reap additional savings with spa packages!

Detoxifying treatments cater to guests that want to shape up body and mind

I find that our guests are becoming increasingly aware of what goes into and onto their bodies.  In response, I have begun requiring our product lines to be more earth and body friendly and many are organic, vegan, gluten and paraben free and do not test on animals.  Medical grade skin care lines such as SkinCeuticals are primarily  botanical while utilizing the best and most effective medical grade components available on the market at a price point suitable for our market.

Detoxifying wraps and body treatments cater to this trend by allowing guests to shed toxins while firming and toning the skin in the areas that need it the most.  Special products are applied that increase circulation and are steam infused to accelerate the detoxifying effect through the largest organ in the body.  What a facial does for facial skin, and a pedicure does for the skin on the feet and lower legs, a body treatment is the most effective skin care treatment for the entire body.  With the additional benefit of the Hydro3 vichy shower and steam infusion, the treatments are intensified and more effective while reducing claustrophobia and increasing the detoxification effect in a more comfortable setting.  There is less mess too!

European spa-goers begin body treatments at a young age, and guests in our areas are taking increased advantage of the services and equipment offered here at Bella Fontana Spa.  Benefits include stress relief, increased tone and firmness to the skin, temporary inch loss and stimulation of the metabolism.  To reach your goals while dieting and exercise try two or three sauna sessions and body treatments each week for inch loss and a better appearance in those critical body areas.  Add on a Lift and Tone Facial Massage or 45 Minute Therapeutic Massage and you will truly feel renewed and energized by the results you can see.
