    Smooth the Way for Valentine’s Day
If you’re tired of going to great, or even painful, lengths to get rid of unwanted hair, there’s no need to suffer anymore!  We offer the latest in permanent hair reduction, including laser techniques that can, comfortably and safely, remove hair from virtually any part of the body. 

 Moreover, because our state-of-the-art equipment uses light pulses to disable hair growth in multiple follicles at once, we can treat small spots, such as the upper lip or underarms, in about ten minutes, and larger areas in a half-hour.    

 So, if you want to be sexy and smooth all over in time for Valentine’s Day, make a date with us first.  Of course, you could go someplace else and endure the tedious, old-fashioned process of electrolysis, but that would take a lot of pluck!

Say Toodle-oo to Your Tattoo

    Say Toodle-oo to Your Tattoo

 Although it’s virtually impossible to start the new year with a completely clean slate, you certainly can wipe out a good number of your past errors, including your tattoos!

Among the most-regretted missteps that people make, tattoos are generally regarded as being permanent, as the various methods of getting rid of them have always been quite painful and ineffective. 
Now, however, we offer photodisruptive technology, one of the newest, and most effective, techniques for removing tattoos.  In this procedure, a microscopic explosion occurs beneath the skin, leaving the ink in tiny particles that are dispersed naturally, disappearing in much the same way as does a bruise.    
So, if your mistake is inked on your skin, come on in, and let the erasing begin

We’d like to Make it Perfectly Clear – Fungus-Free is the Best Way to Start the New Year

          We’d like to Make it Perfectly Clear – Fungus-Free is the Best Way to Start the New Year Anyone who has ever been afflicted with toenail fungus knows that it’s as unsightly as it sounds. Because it makes the nails thick and yellow, the condition has caused consternation and embarrassment for untold numbers of people. However, although it’s one of the most undesirable and vexing problems of the foot, it is also quite easy to treat.
Using the newest, most advanced, technology, we can send a strong laser through the nail, which, without damaging it, completely kills the fungus living underneath it. The affected nail will then grow out, and the new nail will be restored to its natural, transparent appearance. What’s more, this can normally be accomplished in one, painless, 15-minute procedure.  

   Clearly, it’s the best way to step into the New Year!

Break Out of the Acne Cycle

   Break Out of the Acne Cycle

Most teenagers experience acne; and even a mild case is a curse during those awkward years.  However, for some, with a more severe, chronic type, it continues into adulthood, and becomes a permanent blight in their lives.  This is bad news, as it can even scar them – and in more ways than one.
     The good news, though, is that we can treat not only the acne, but the scars that it may cause.  In fact, we have a variety of effective techniques, including laser, pulsed light therapy, chemical gel peels, deep, pore-cleansing facials, and collagen fillers.  

    So, if you’re plagued by continual break-outs, we’ll help you to break out of that vicious cycle, and you can start the New Year with a new look.

Spider Veins Have Legs

    While spider veins and varicose veins are similar, they do have their differences.  For example, both kinds are formed when stagnant blood pools in the veins, and causes swelling.  They are also more common in women, and are often triggered by hormonal imbalances or pregnancy. 

However, spider veins, which are just beneath the skin’s surface, are usually smaller, darker, and less serious, than the varicose variety.  Another distinction between the two is that, although mostly thought of as being on the legs, spider veins, perhaps quite appropriately, seem to have legs, as they can also travel to other areas of the body, including the face and chest.    

Not to worry.  No matter which type you have, or where they’re located, with our Intense Pulse Light Therapy (IPL), a painless, ground-breaking new procedure, we can quickly exterminate any problem veins that may be bugging you.  

Working Womens' Wednesday- An A-peeling Choice for Your Lunch Hour

   If you’re sick of going home every evening looking tired and worn-out, come see us on Working Women’s Wednesday, for a “Lunchtime Peel.”  Technically known as microdermabrasion, it’s a pleasant, non-invasive procedure that gently exfoliates the skin, and stimulates new cell growth.

 A great treatment for fine lines, sun-damaged skin, superficial scars, acne, and uneven skin tone, it will immediately improve the overall texture, elasticity, and tone of your complexion; and it requires no recovery time. 

Just think – you can leave here, appearing relaxed and rejuvenated; and nobody will say, “Geez, you really must have had a rough day!” 

It’s Just an Expression – But it Means so Much

 With the holiday season officially underway, most people will be going to a lot of parties during the next few weeks.  What’s more, as these affairs will be characterized by high levels of glow, glitter, and glitz, many may want to show up sparkling as brightly as the Christmas lights.   

The only trouble is that all of the socializing can make them feel as if they’re under a microscope, which leads some people to become self-conscious about minor flaws in their appearances, such as lines on their foreheads. 
      If this is your concern, we may be able to smooth things out for you with a 10-minute BOTOX treatment.  In this procedure, we’ll make a few, tiny injections into the muscles that are responsible for creating frown lines, thus blocking the chemical that causes them to contract, and enabling them to stay relaxed. 

And don’t worry – it won’t affect your ability to smile, laugh, or show any other expressions.  So, even if you’re being bored to death by a big windbag, you can still feign interest his story!

Get Ready for some Sparkling Conversations

With the approach of the holidays, and all of the related get-togethers with family, friends, and colleagues, you’re going to want to shine, in every way.  Therefore, besides brushing up on your social skills and party etiquette, you may also wish to make sure that your teeth are as dazzling as possible.

 With our professional cosmetic teeth whitening services, your teeth can be three to six shades whiter after two 15-minute sessions!  The process is safe, and provides amazingly quick, long-lasting results; and it can be done on virtually anyone who has healthy teeth and gums.  Another great advantage is that, although our whitening gel is the same type that dentists use, you won’t have to visit any of their offices – or pay their prices.           

 So, give us a call and set up an appointment, and you can have whiter teeth before you attend your first holiday party.  That way, when you’re engaged in sparkling conversation with your fellow revelers, you can be confident that your teeth will be glistening as they’re all listening. 

Great Holiday is Beginning to Take Shape!

   Well, it’s early November, which means that it’s time to make a resolution
 to finally get into shape.  Heck, why not?  There’s no sense in waiting until January, because, by then, all of the holiday parties will be over; and those are the occasions for which you’ll really want to look your best, especially when mingling with people that you haven’t seen (and who haven’t seen you) in awhile.
On the other hand, perhaps you already made this resolution last New Year’s Eve, but have not yet fulfilled it.  Of course, if that’s the case, then you’d better hurry, because 2012 is only about eight weeks away!  If you think that there’s not enough time to achieve a better figure before then, don’t worry.
From body contouring, to liposuction, we have a variety of safe, non-invasive methods for removing or reducing fat and cellulite, tightening and smoothing your skin, and even reshaping your abdomen, arms, waist, back, thighs, hips, neck, and buttocks.   Whether you want to start transforming yourself in time for the holidays, or get a running start on next year, remember - at the Advanced Liposuction Center, there’s more than one way to skim the fat!       

Makeup for Lost Time - or ANY Time!

      Applying makeup correctly is a skill that takes a while to master.  When first experimenting with it, many teenage girls slather it on, as if trying to send the world a bold-faced message that they are now adults.  Unfortunately, though, they usually end up looking like little girls who got into their mothers’ cosmetics while playing dress-up.  Certainly, many women remember those early days of trial-and-error (and error, and error), when wearing makeup was new and exciting. 

Luckily, with maturity, most women gain an appreciation of subtlety, and refine their techniques to produce more elegant, understated looks.  Naturally, we all discover and develop our own styles, too, as we test myriad combinations of foundations, and the endless palettes of lipstick and eye shadow colors that are available. 

 Of course, our complexions continue to change, as time marches on (on our faces, that is!); and, eventually, wearing makeup can turn from being capricious and fun, into a very serious business. 

The trouble is that this leads some women to revert to the heavy-handed method of application, using it to fill in lines and wrinkles, or to draw on, or augment, lips or eyebrows.  Not only does this result in exaggerated, unnatural-looking features, but the makeup may also settle into lines, making them even more noticeable, or melt or fade away.  This is the point where many women begin to lament the cruel irony that they originally started wearing it because they wanted to look older. 

As the years pass, failing eyesight, unsteady hands, and various medical conditions, can also make it difficult to apply cosmetics properly and evenly.  Moreover, once it becomes a tiring, time-consuming chore, many women simply give up on it.  Sadly, this can be very depressing, and may even make some people self-conscious enough to avoid socializing.    

On the other hand, happily, most of these situations can be resolved.  If you’ve exhausted your makeup bag of tricks, it may be time to try a new kind of magic.  At Body Beautiful Laser Medi-Spa, Marcia Hale can rejuvenate your appearance with permanent cosmetics for your eyes, lips, and brows; and she is a genuine makeup artist.      
In fact, she’s an exceptionally talented, all-around artist, whose paintings and murals adorn the walls of many offices (including ours), reception areas, and homes.  Fervent about her craft, Marcia, who has a keen, unerring eye for detail, and a genius for nuance, brings the same passion and skills to her vocation as our Permanent Makeup Technician. 

For those with age-related issues, the procedures that she performs can sometimes have life-changing results.  Besides sparing them from a grueling, unmanageable task, having permanent cosmetics applied greatly boosts their self-confidence.

Even people who can still easily put on makeup may need help with other problems, such as thinning lips or lashes, or eyebrows that are sparse, or non-existent, either from over-plucking, or because of medical conditions.  In such cases, Marcia will add fullness and definition to lips, with color and liner, or design natural-looking eyebrows that complement her clients’ faces perfectly.  She can also give eyes a more youthful, animated look, with permanent eyeliner, and make lashes appear more voluminous as well.

The procedures are safe, and normally do not necessitate any downtime.  The entire process may require 2-3 visits, as the initial application acts as a primer, which will fade several days after the first session, until it is revived with further treatments.    

 “It’s like an instant facelift,” says Marcia, “and one small change, such as adding a slight arc [creating a fuller bow] to an upper lip that has lost its shape, can have a dramatic impact.  Another great thing is that most people won’t even realize that you had anything done; they’ll just notice that you look refreshed.” 

Indeed, the enthusiasm with which she speaks makes it obvious that Marcia takes great joy in helping women – and men – to appear more vivacious, and regain their self-esteem. 

So, if you want to get excited about makeup again, come in and put your face in Marcia’s hands!

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — More and more people are getting tattoos, but that decision may not be something you like years down the road.
Now, there’s growing demand for ways to cover up or remove those unwanted tattoos and there are some new ways to do that in the Pittsburgh area.
Randi Hoffman of Bethel Park is getting married in the spring and she wants to look her best in her dress, so she’s having her two tattoos removed.
“We were all out and some of the girls got them and it sounded like a good idea; and now, I don’t want to walk down the aisle with a tattoo down the back of my neck,” said Hoffman.  She’s also having another tattoo on her wrist removed. It’s not allowed where she works.

 

“To cover them, I use make up and it works,” she said. “But it’s just sort of a pain, and on a hot day, it can run.
So, she says she is willing to go through pain and money to get them off.
Hoffman went to Body Beautiful, which has 10 locations in Western Pennsylvania. Tattoo removal is one of many face and body rejuvenation treatments they provide.
She’s starting with the traditional laser removal.
“It’s pretty painful but i want it gone,” she said.
Mike West of Crafton, a tattoo artist himself, is also getting laser treatment.
“I’m getting this whole sleeve removed,” he said.
West says he wants a new tattoo put in its place. He says this happens a lot in his shop.
“I’d say half the clients that come in either had bad work and want it fixed or want it covered up,” said West. “That’s probably the most common is a boyfriend’s name, but there’s a lot of bad work.”
Lasers can get most of the tattoo removed, but sometimes, some color remains.
Laser technician Marcia Hale is doing a new treatment, using the same machine used to put on a tattoo but with a special chemical solution going into the skin instead of ink.
“This solution is able to find the ink still locked in skin and able to lift it to the surface,” said Hale.
Hale even got a tattoo near her foot, just to test out the new treatment.
One of the benefits of this treatment is that it’s not nearly as painful as laser.
“Our number one and two questions are how bad does it hurt and how much does it cost,” said Mark Fleis, the manager at Body Beautiful. “Usually, during the first visit, we give them a test spot so they can see exactly how it feels.”
Fleis says for a softball-sized tattoo it would cost an average of $250 a session for laser removal and $150 to $200 for the chemical solution. Four to seven sessions are usually needed – often a combination of the two types. But consultations are free.
That usually adds up to at least $900 to get it completely removed.
