As you work your way down your list of gifts to give your loved ones, we wanted to offer a helping hand and recommend the best treatments to give this holiday season!

BEST TREATMENTS FOR THE WINTER

o  Fraxel Face Treatment

Fraxel is the best treatment for skin resurfacing. It will help you reduce facial lines and wrinkles and address any pigmentation or acne scars you may have. The results of the treatment will leave your skin clearer, softer, and more youthful.

o  Microblading

Save your loved ones sometime in the morning with the gift of Microblading. The Microblading treatment offers beautiful, full, and natural-looking eyebrows. Our Microblading artist has more than 12 years of experience and will guarantee you are fully content with your results. There is no better place in the state for this treatment!

o  Profound- Skin Tightening

There comes a point in our lives when our skin loses its firmness and begins to look loose. To help this natural process, we offer the Profound Face lift treatment. The non-surgical skin-tightening treatment starts a natural production of collagen from beneath the skin’s surface. Clients who have received this treatment have noticed a significant difference after only one time

o  IV Therapy Immunity Booster

If your loved one doesn’t feel ready for aesthetic treatments, why not offer a treatment that will make them feel energetic, well rested and healthy. We offer a variety of IV Therapy Cocktails infused with vitamins that will give you the energy boost during the gloomy winter days.

“ I have no idea what treatment my loved one wants, what should I do?”

No worries! You can also give them a Versailles Gift Certificate with the amount of your choice and they can pick out their treatment on their own. This is a great solution for gifting without worrying you chose the wrong thing.

This year has been tough for us all, give a treatment that will leave your loved ones happy for the year!

DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR FACE HAS LOST VOLUME OVER THE YEARS?

ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR THE BEST PRODUCT THAT WILL REWIND TIME?

IF THIS IS YOU… YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT SPOT!

VOLUMA® by Juvederm is the best filler out in the market that will add volume to your cheeks and define your chin. By adding volume to your face, you will look and feel your face is more youthful due to the smooth and natural contouring.

Why is it the best?

The injectable filler can last up to two years and can even give the appearance of a mini facelift. It is the first and only FDA-approved filler that corrects age-related volume loss.

Your results will show right after your treatment but the best results will come through 6 months. The cost of the treatment is definitely worth it because it isn’t something you have to continuously do months apart.

Celebrities and models such as Kylie Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, and Bella Hadid have all undergone the treatment and look as fabulous as ever.

Versailles Medical Spa is proud to provide the injectable that helps to slowly produce collagen, Sculptra Aesthetic. Sculptra Aesthetic helps restore facial volume and is FDA-approved, and results can last more than two years.

How does it differ from other injectables?

In comparison to our dermal fillers which immediately fill the fine lines and wrinkles, Sculptra Aesthetic treats the underlying problem of ageing. The treatment acts as a collagen stimulator, restoring the underlying structure of your skin. It can be injected around the smile lines, laugh lines, and chin wrinkles.

The number of times a person will need the injection is individual as it depends on how much collagen has been lost. The treatment will work gradually, but the results are long lasting.

What is CoolSculpting® and why you should get it:

CoolSculpting is a procedure that targets the stubborn fat found throughout your body, including your abdomen area, chin, arms, back and underneath your buttocks.

CoolSculpting is based on the science of Cryolipolysis which uses cold temperatures, through the applicators placed on your treatment area, to freeze and eliminate fat cells.

Following your treatment 25% of your fat cells will be permanently eliminated.

You should consider CoolSculpting® as an option if you have been working out the same areas and are seeing none to minimal results.

Following your CoolSculpting® treatment, you may experience mild soreness in the areas treated. Those are normal side effects that some patients may experience. CoolSculpting® does not require downtime and patients can return to their daily activities following their treatment.

To achieve a perfectly sculpted body, CoolSculpting® patients should consider getting 4-sessions of EmSculpt.

EmSculpt is the only non-invasive treatment that will build and strengthen your core muscles. With the use of High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic technology, EmSculpt will contract 90% of your muscles vs. the 20% to 30% percent a fit person can contract in the gym.

Consider a 30-min session of EmSculpt as your gym during this pandemic time because after one session of EmSculpt you will automatically feel the soreness in your muscles and the results will be visible 2 to 4 weeks after your treatment. EmSculpt delivers results that are humanly impossible. One 30-min treatment is equivalent to 20,000 sit ups or 20,000 squats while laying down.

Everyone is a candidate for EmSculpt because the treatment is simply enhancing what you already have! To obtain the best results, the recommended sessions are 4-sessions of 30 minutes for each patient. EmSculpt results can last up to a year or more!

Lose the fat and build your muscles at Versailles Medical Spa.

It is no surprise that men juggle busy lifestyles at home and at work. Therefore, the undesired wrinkles and expression lines that form as a sign of aging can unintentionally cause more stress. That is where BOTOX®® Cosmetic comes into play.

What is Botox & how does it work?

Botox is an injection treatment that diminishes and smoothes out the undesired wrinkles and expression lines. At the moment of the injection, Botox therapy allows the muscles in the face to relax.

In what areas can I inject Botox therapy?

Botox works best to treat the expression lines on the face and neck. However, Botox can also be injected into the sweat glands of your underarms and palms. Excessive underarm and palm sweating is known as Hyperhidrosis. At the moment of the injection, your sweat glands will begin to relax in the areas treated.

When will I see results?

It is important to remember, Botox therapy is temporary and therefore must be repeated on a consistent basis in order to maintain your desired image. After receiving Botox therapy the results will gradually show and best results can be seen on the 14th day post-injection.

Keep in mind:

• Botox can cause mild bruising in the area treated, therefore it is recommended to have your treatment 2-3 weeks before an important event to allow the bruising, if any, to disappear.
  
• Remember to not lay down 2-3 hours after your treatment and try to avoid touching the treated areas. This will ensure the Botox will stay in the area you desire.
  

You only live once… why not look young forever!

Fraxel Skin Resurfacing can treat Actinic Keratosis (AK), the most common pre-cancer that results from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. A 2013 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology helped to validate Fraxel for this purpose. AKs appear as dry, scaly, or crusty patches of skin. Because of their texture, AKs are easier to feel than see. The lesions are more commonly seen on the face, lips, ears, scalp, shoulders, neck, and the back of hands and forearms. While only a small percentage of AKs turn into skin cancer, the majority of squamous cell carcinomas start as AKs.

Fraxel Skin Resurfacing creates microscopic zones of injury in the skin. The injury causes a wound healing that results in collagen production and photo rejuvenation. Fraxel is the treatment of choice because it effectively treats damage in the top layers of the epidermis where squamous cell carcinomas start.

If you’re looking for a treatment that treats pre-cancerous actinic keratosis or the cosmetic effects of aging and sun damage, Fraxel is the ideal treatment for you. It gets rid of potentially dangerous spots while making your skin look more youthful.

Fraxel Skin Resurfacing will result in immediate and progressive results. Immediately after healing, which takes about a week, the surface of your skin will feel softer, and the skin tone becomes more even. Progressive results continue to appear between 3-6 months when the deeper layers of the skin heel and your skin feels more rejuvenated.

When it comes to non-invasive treatments; the key to amazing, long-lasting results is how well you follow up with your after-care. Many times this means having great quality products to help you preserve the amazing results that you have achieved with these procedures. Whether it is Laser Hair Removal, Botox, Fraxel Laser, or simply your occasional Medical Facial, you want to make sure that you have the right back-up to keep your skin looking its absolute best. At Versailles Medical Spa, not only are you being provided with the latest innovative treatments, but also with top of the line, medical grade skin care products.

If you didn’t have a skincare regimen before, let us help you by listing our Top 3 key products that will help you achieve your ultimate skincare goals. Starting with our cleansers; if your skin tends to be very dry and dull, we recommend our Beta Enzyme Cleanser formulated without harsh parabens or sulfates. This cleanser is gentle enough for daily use, while being active enough to deliver skin brightening benefits to all skin types. The Beta Enzyme Cleanser exfoliates the skin to encourage the healthy production of new cells, while the combination of Papaya Enzymes and Salicylic Acid work to slough away dead skin cells.

Are you uncomfortable with the post-treatment effects from procedures that leave a temporary discoloration in your skin such as; Fraxel, IPL, Profound, or even Dermal Fillers? Well, we have designed a moisturizing topical cream to help your skin heal faster and look even better! We introduce our Kurative Cream, fortified with some of our key ingredients such as; Vitamin K, Sunflower Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Arnica Flower Extract. This restorative cream helps soothe and aid to any redness or irritation often associated with some of these treatments. Not to mention, being a hydrating source to help the skin retain its natural moisture. Our Kurative Cream is key element for post-treatment, you can also enjoy the benefit of reducing fine lines and wrinkles!

Lastly, we have to finish with our spa favorite- The Needle Free Serum also known as the “youth collagen”. If you are someone who doesn’t enjoy the sight of needles this is the perfect start for you! The result is a painless, topical alternative to injectable fillers and toxins. Think of it as your at-home “filler in a bottle” easy for you to use at home, and save you the discomfort of being poked by needles. Our Needle Free Serum is packed with many key ingredients such as Golden Bamboo Extract and Pea Extract to deliver an 85% increase in hyaluronic acid synthesis, plus decrease in skin laxity of 50% after four weeks of regular use. The Needle Free Serum has been clinically proven to provide you with 190% increase in elastin production after just 11 days, and helps to improve your skin’s firmness by 13 times in 15 days.

If you’re big into the latest trends— especially when they involve skin care, then you have more than likely heard about microneedling. Microneedling is taking the beauty world by storm for one very good reason – it’s really effective! Also known as “collagen induction therapy” (CTI), this treatment can dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, large pores and other textural imperfections on the surface of the skin.

Microneedling works by making very small “micro-points” in the skin. As each micro-point carefully punctures the skin, it creates a micro-wound. The controlled injury triggers the body’s natural healing process, producing new collagen and elastin. This helps skin look dramatically younger, smoother and more radiant.

Spring is just around the corner, and we’re all looking to achieve that beautiful GLOW to get us ready for summer. With microneedling, patients have a way to achieve a more youthful looking skin without undergoing surgery or dealing with a lengthy recovery. In fact, even though your skin may be a little red afterward, you are able to return to your daily activities. If you like to live your life as green and as healthy as possible, then microneedling may be worth considering. The reason is, microneedling is based on the principle of your skin naturally healing itself and creating collagen in the process. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about any foreign additives or chemicals entering into your body.

Both men and women benefit from this treatment! At Versailles Medical Spa we only offer treatments that we believe in 100%. Micro-needling is effective, affordable and offers comparable results to invasive lasers! Let us help you attain beautiful, youthful and glowing skin!

When people think of ideal lips, they think of the famous “Cupid’s Bow” shaped lips. Look in the mirror, under your nose and you will notice the highest point of the lips features a double-curve commonly known as a cupid’s bow. Named for the shape of a bow and arrow carried by Cupid.

Some are more pronounced, peaked at two sharp points. Others are virtually flat. For centuries, the presence of a cupid’s bow, whether natural or enhanced, has signified different beauty trends – coquettishness, innocence, sexy, empowerment. Very few people have this ideal shape, while others may need a little help filling in the volume lost.

This is why Juvederm filler is the best option if you’re looking to achieve YOUR version of ideal lips. The thought of it may be more intimidating than the actual procedure, but it’s not a scary procedure at all- we promise! Lip augmentation with dermal fillers such as Juvederm is a very common non-surgical aesthetic treatment nationwide. It’s a medical procedure requiring artistry and precision due to the lips’ cosmetically sensitive nature and intricate anatomy. Here at Versailles Medical Spa, our trained injectors use Juvederm depending on the patient’s goals. Hyaluronic acids have a gel-like quality to them and fill in deficient volume in the lips, giving them a beautiful and natural finish.

So, what happens to the Juvederm overtime you wonder? Well, the body breaks down the acids slowly over time. Clients usually return about five or six months after their last treatment.

This Valentine’s Day, fall in love with the shape of your lips. Whether you need to achieve your idea of “ideal lips” or need a little help enhancing what was lost with time.

We are getting ready to enter into a new year, and we are still dealing with the stigma of making others feel guilty, or bad for wanting to improve their appearance. Loving yourself can also mean improving your appearance to become a much more confident, happier YOU!

Can you be grateful for the body and face you were naturally given, and want to improve it? You absolutely can, there’s nothing wrong about that! Have your heard of the saying “our body is our temple”? That’s why we should nourish it properly and exercise to make sure it functions at an optimum level for the rest of our lives. Men and Women spend hours in the gym not only for optimal health but also to modify those “trouble” areas in their bodies. Well guess what, the same goes with aesthetic procedures.

We think of doing all of these self-care routines to feel much better about ourselves. Why? Because the way we carry ourselves, and look on the outside, is a representation of how we feel on the inside. Are you someone who loves to put everyone else before yourself? The person everyone ALWAYS counts on being there when needed? If you’re saying “yes.. yes.. yes!!” Then ask yourself, when was the last time that you did something to make yourself happier and boost your confidence.

Every time around this year, we begin to reflect on everything that we did, could’ve done and want to do. We come up with all these resolutions that get forgotten within 4 months into the new year. Let’s be consistent with one thing, our happiness. Whatever small flaw that deep down has been making you feel down, and not allow you to be your FEARLESS self.. go for it and improve it! Life is too short to be anything but happy, and there is nothing vain about wanting to improve your appearance, to be much happier version of YOU.

Here at Versailles Medical Spa, we’ll make sure this is one resolution that does not get forgotten. From a simple routine facial to rejuvenate your skin. To experiencing the most advanced hair laser removal, to help you get ready for that trip that you’ve always wanted to take.. or even helping you get back on track with your fitness goals, with a little CoolSculpting!

After spending months perfecting your beach bod and summer beauty regimen it’s tempting to slack off once the puffer coats and winter boots come back out the wardrobe. But if there is one thing we have learned over the years, it’s the value in upkeep – and often even making up for summer’s indulgences whether that’s been weeks basking in the sun or a few too many poolside cocktails.

Complexion

Our complexions often suffer the worst when we kick back on vacation. While we religiously slather sun protection on our bodies, many of us forget to take such a diligent approach with our faces relying on the cover of that SPF we applied six hours ago. So it’s surprising that we often return home to dry skin, the odd brown patch and a few more wrinkles. Not exactly the look you want post-vacay.

Winter Skin TLC

Other than giving a lecture on using sun protection on your face every day (seriously though, do it!), our best advice is to give your skin some TLC during the next few winter months to repair any damage and give you a head start on next year’s summer glow.

One of the best treatments for revitalizing the skin is the Omnilux light treatment. This entirely natural method of light-only skin rejuvenation stimulates the body’s own natural processes to turn back the clock on aging, damaged skin while also enhancing the effect of your regular skincare regimen. The treatment is instantly beneficial with clients seeing an improvement in skin tone and texture, balanced pigmentation, smoother fine lines, and better hydration and lift. Omnilux has been used in medical dermatology and oncology for years for its healing powers; the light therapy stimulates cells responsible for tissue repair, causing a production of collagen which aids in tackling wrinkles and gives a soft, more youthful appearance.

Skin Rejuvenation

Combined with other facial treatments, Omnilux is even more impressive. Or consider a course of IPL (Intense Pulse Light) skin rejuvenation treatment, a state-of-the-art treatment that further stimulates collagen production and the development of healthy skin cells. It’s ideal for reducing pigmentation and aging from sun damage, giving your skin a clearer, more even looking tone and smoother texture. We feel more radiant just thinking about it!

If you are looking to focus on your complexion this winter and get a start on that coveted glow, schedule a complimentary consultation with our skin experts.

Many people are confused about which wrinkles are best treated with Botox and which with dermal fillers. Let’s start by explaining the clear difference between the two products. When Botox is injected it has a medicinal effect on the muscles that are targeted. It relaxes those muscles for three to four months. Dermal fillers are products injected into the skin to occupy space. They have no medicinal effect, only a physical effect. They lift wrinkles and folds by occupying the space beneath them.

Wrinkles that come from decades of muscles folding the skin are well treated with botox. The muscles between the eyebrows allow us to make those faces some of us have been making forever. Ultimately, all that folding makes a permanent crease. These muscles are perfect targets for botox. A few units of the medicine injected there works in about 10 days to relax the muscles causing the crease. In a few more weeks the creases are gone. There are several other places where botox works well, including the whole forehead, the crow’s feet and to some extent the vertical creases above the upper lip.

The folds that are due mainly to gravity draping the looser skin of middle age are the ones we soften with filling agents. These folds are mainly the naso-labial folds (also called the parenthesis lines), and the marionette lines that go from the corners of the mouth down to the jaw line. There is one other application of the fillers that I love. As we age the corners of the mouth turn down giving people a “look of disapproval” even at rest (even while thinking happy thoughts!). A little filler can pop those corners right up and give the client a much more pleasant visage. It looks like there’s a little Mona Lisa thing going on.

Sometimes, the best choice between botox and fillers is both. Many faces have muscle and gravity induced lines and folds. Sometimes a single fold comes from both sources. Those little vertical creases above the lips are a great place to use just a smidge of botox and a soft filler like Cosmoplast. As you can see, these kinds of choices bring the science of “injectables” up to an art.

“50% of those taking multivitamins are still nutritionally deficient.”

Versailles Medical Spa offers Spectracell’s Micronutrient Testing, which is the only test that takes into consideration factors like biochemical individuality, absorption, chronic illness, aging, and lifestyle to identify your nutrient status. With this information, specific deficiencies that could negatively influence your health may be corrected.

Why is Nutrient Status Important?

Vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies have been shown to suppress the function of the immune system which can contribute to degenerative process such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. You may be deficient in some vitamins, minerals, antioxidant and/or other essential micronutrients and not even know it.

We normally don’t spend a lot of time thinking about how to take care of our lashes–we just expect them to be fine without a lot of help. With so many satisfied Latisse users out there now, growing long, beautiful lashes, it seems like a good time to think about caring for your lashes. Here are three tips to help maintain beautiful lashes:

1. Clean your eyes thoroughly and gently each night. Makeup can attract bacteria and cause breakage to existing lashes. When cleaning makeup from eyes, first splash the face with warm water and pat the eye area gently with a cotton ball to remove as much makeup as possible. Follow with a commercial eye makeup remover and stroke the lashes gently with a fresh cotton ball to remove all traces of makeup.
   
2. Consider applying olive oil to your eyelashes a couple of times a week. Do this by dipping a q-tip in the oil and gently brushing it onto your lashes. Almond oil or coconut oil can be used to get the same result, but olive oil is readily available. Apply the oil and let it sit with your eyes closed for a few minutes before rinsing with warm water. In addition, you may apply the oil before bed and leave it on throughout the night.
   
3. Replace your mascara every three to six months. Mascara needs to be replaced more often, according to many dermatologists. Waiting longer may allow the mascara to harbor bacteria which can harm the lashes.

Botox is a medication, and as such has a dosage which is determined by a Medical Professional. Botox dosage is measured in units. The best wrinkle-erasing results come from a strategic treatment: a combination of appropriate dosage for each individual’s facial musculature and precise targeting of where the Botox is placed. This brings us to the practical question: what is the difference in paying ‘by unit’ for a Botox treatment and paying ‘by area.’

Some practices choose to charge a set ‘by area’ price, but at Versailles Medical Spa we charge our Botox by the unit. When charged by the unit, you can be confident that you are only paying for the amount that you need. When you pay per unit, the total price will vary with the number of units injected. The more units you receive, the more you pay. The less units you receive, then the less you pay. In a complimentary consultation which includes an examination of your unique facial musculature, a thorough explanation of how Botox works and discussion of your desired result, you will be educated on exactly what dosage is appropriate for you. There will be enough time to also give you the treatment on the day of your consultation, however if you prefer to just have the consultation and schedule the treatment another time that is completely up to you.

When you pay per area the price is set, regardless of the number of units of Botox injected into the area. When considering area pricing though, you do need to know what each practice considers an “area.” The glabella (the area between the browns where frown lines appear) is one area and the forehead (the lines that appear when raising one’s eyebrows up) is another area. So what a reasonable person may think of as one area is often considered two different treatment areas by a practice that charges area-rates. Another consideration is that while you pay one lump sum per area, if you don’t need as much Botox as the next person, you’re paying the same, but getting less. That just doesn’t seem fair, does it? Often times, practices that charge by area will not educate you on the dosage you received for this very reason. While ‘by area’ practices often include ‘free touch-ups’ within 2 weeks of the treatment date, we do not consider this a perk since Botox can take up to 14 days to take full effect.

Then there is the matter of style. Do you want to erase lines, soften lines, alter shape such as evening out brows, or a combination? The results from a Botox treatment can range from conservative to frozen based on the patient’s request. In Connecticut, the preferred look is ‘refreshed’ but unfrozen while the trend in Los Angeles is more frozen and patients may ask for certain expressions to be completely ‘knocked out’ or immobilized. One is not better than another and there is plenty of room in between the two extremes.

We pride ourselves on providing a customized treatment plan and tailored experience for our customers at Versailles Medical Spa. Charging by unit is part of that experience. Contact us to set up a consultation.

New nutritional studies are bad news for those of us with a sweet tooth. We all know that sugar can wreak havoc on our waistlines, but did you know that sugar can also age you? Once we’ve consumed a naughty (delicious) sugary treat, a process called glycation takes place in our bodies. During glycation sugars bind to proteins in the cells and one of the most susceptible proteins is in our collagen. As this binding happens, our resilient collagen becomes brittle and the end result is wrinkles. While there are many ways to address wrinkles after the fact (Botox and Dermal Fillers), a little prevention can also go a long way

Considering that sugar consumption has tripled in the past 50 years, cutting back is undeniably a good idea. In fact some health officials propose that sugar should be identified as a health danger like alcohol and tobacco.

Ingrown hairs can be a pain! The term for ingrown hair is “pseudofolliculitis barbae”, a condition in which a foreign body inflammatory reaction is produced when curved hairs grow back into the skin. Inflammation is characterized by papules, pustules or small nodules located from one to three millimeters away from the hair follicle. You are most likely to suffer ingrowns where body hair is coarse, explaining why many women experience bikini-zone ingrowns. While there are several ways to treat ingrowns after the fact, prevention is always the best medicine.

Laser Hair Removal is highly effective in treating ingrown hairs by simply eliminating the problem. Laser hair removal targets the individual hair follicles of the unwanted body hair. Through a series of treatments the follicles are compromised due to the targeted laser heat and therefore stop producing hair. Hair that is produced from follicles that have been treated with Laser Hair Removal is more fine and usually lighter than the original hair. You will see ingrowns diminish and disappear during the course of your Laser Hair Removal treatments just as you see unwanted body hair diminish and disappear.

Versailles Medical Spa offers complimentary consultations for Laser Hair Removal, and has even been voted #1 for Laser Hair Removal in Fairfield County. Contact us to book your consultation and say goodbye to ingrowns and hello to that beach vacation!
