Botox Before & Afters

The Big Why?

So many of our clients get asked why botox? Be sure to read her post for personal look into why she decided to try botox and why Lapiel was the right fit for her!

I considered Botox for almost two years before I finally decided to pull the trigger. I did some research on local Med Spas, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, etc. and in the end, decided to partner up with Lapiel Laser Center. Lapiel is a local Med Spa that focuses on laser hair removal, Botox and other skincare procedures (like silk peels and chemical peels). Some people have a skewed opinion about Med Spas and say not to trust them. I would have to whole-heartedly disagree with that statement. Catalina, the Nurse Practitioner, at Lapiel made me feel so comfortable and was willing to answer every single one of my questions before starting anything. She explained the process and walked me through each step, telling me what she was doing and why.

Does Botox Hurt?

Perhaps our most commonly asked question, along with “will I still look like myself?” The answer is a resounding NO! & Of course! Be sure to read Whitney’s full Q&A with Catalina

So back to the beginning, I was seriously terrified of getting Botox for the first time. The thought of needles poking my forehead made me want to pass out. I have a very low pain tolerance and couldn’t stand knowing that I would willingly induce pain upon myself. A little dramatic right? I soon discovered, yes, this was me being WAY dramatic.

Talking About Glytone Chemical Peels and Acne with Blogger Emma Lenhart

Dealing with acne is hard, dealing with problem skin in a world full of perfect instagram posts can be even more difficult. Which is why we are loving that Blogger Emma Lenhart was brave enough to share her struggle with acne and how Glytone Chemical Peels here at Lapiel helped her skin and left her feeling a whole lot more confident!

Whether you’re someone who struggles with acne, has been thinking about starting a regimen of Glytone Chemical Peels or maybe have a teen at home who’s struggling with problem skin, Emma’s post is sure to resonate with you.

Check out our favorite excerpts from her post at EmmaLenhart.com

Why Chemical Peels?

I have had acne-prone, oily, hormonal skin for my entire life. Not the controllable, “once every blue moon” type of acne. The really painful, annoying, kind.

Growing up, I tried almost everything on the market. If you can name a brand, I bet you I’ve already tried their 3-step system. I invested so much time and money into trying to “fix” my skin. I visited dermatologists for years, tried every topical solution they gave me, and even started ingesting oral pills to help my skin.

Nothing worked.

Why Lapiel?

What I love about Lapiel Laser Center is that when you first start going, they really take the time to listen to your skin concerns. They explain what they would recommend and WHY, so you’re constantly in the loop

Lapiel Chemical Peels featured on West of Felicity

Meet Allison of the blog West of Felicity! We recently got to know this amazing lady as she embarked on a plan to kick her skin care routine up a notch by adding a few corrective steps to her regimen. After consulting with Julie, she decided to start with a package of Glytone Chemical Peels here at Lapiel. We all know that peels can often times feel scary, out of reach or take you back to that infamous episode of Sex And The City where Samantha looses half her face. Check out Alison’s post and see the reality of what it’s like to get a peel in 2017. We promise– only happy, healthy, glowing skin at the end of these peels!

Read about her experience with chemical peels, products and how she found Lapiel here.

Some of our favorite highlights from Allison’s post

On why she decided to add a professional treatment to her routine:

“I wish I had the maturity to think ahead when I was younger and consider the skin of my future 20, 30 or 50 year old self. I’m sure just like many of you, nothing was more important than soaking up those beautiful rays of sunshine. To the naked eye, my skin looks normal for a 20 something woman (hopefully). But, I know what it has endured, so I know what’s lying just below the surface and slowly making its way up to say “I told you so.”

That’s why I have this corrective step. I’ll never see the supple, smooth, healthy skin I want if I don’t take the steps to correct the damage of my younger years. So, I’m kicking up my routine and working toward a clean slate, where my products will be more efficient and my skin will have the healthy youthful glow it deserves.”

Allison did a series of three peels and offers up some really amazing before and afters on her post. She describes her experience with 2 of our post popular kinds of peels and lets you know what to expect from each.

On Protecting your Skin:

“This is probably the most important way to influence your skins health and appearance. The pollutants in the air and harsh rays of our beloved sun take a serious toll on our skin. It was always hard for me to take serious because you can’t see the effects…yet. I have to remind myself that the tan fades but the wrinkle and spots settle in for years to come.

SUNSCREEN FUN FACTS

20 SPF protects for 2 hours

30 SPF protects for 3 hours

50 SPF only protects 5% more than 30 SPF, and still only lasts 3 hours…

REAPPLY!”
