What is Laser Skin Rejuvenation?

Laser Skin Rejuvenation is a term used to describe two different treatments:Skin Tightening and Photo Rejuvenation. We use the Candela GentleMAX to stimulate different layers of the skin in order to promote collagen stimulation and the skin’s own ability to regenerate itself.

Photo Rejuvenation works to correct sun spots/damage by concentrating the laser on the darker areas of the skin, bringing them to the surface until they eventually slough off. Whereas Skin Tightening delivers a controlled amount of therapeutic heat into the lower dermis in order to spark collagen remodeling and contracting to lift the skin.

How will Chemical Peels Enhance The Results of My Laser Treatments?

Combing Chemical Peels and the Laser treatments you are able to work on the skin on many different levels. While the Laser Rejuvenation is working on the deepest layers of your skin, the chemical peels exfoliate the top layers to reveal healthier, younger looking skin.

Here at Lapiel we recommend scheduling your Chemical Peel two weeks after your Laser Skin Rejuvention treatment which helps both with hyperpigmentation and cellular turnover.

Am I a good candidate for Laser Skin Rejuvenation?

Laser Skin Rejuvenation is perfect for anyone looking to correct the most visible signs of aging. Whether is Sun Damage, fine lines, sagging skin or simply dull textured skin, Laser Skin Rejuvenation is the perfect treatment to restore your skin’s glow!

Talking About Glytone Chemical Peels and Acne with Blogger Emma Lenhart

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

@TheFashionDailies Talks Silkpeel Diamond Glow At Lapiel

If you’re anything like us, you find yourself scrolling through instagram wondering how bloggers somehow always have the most perfect skin. Recently, we were lucky enough to meet cool girl extraordinaire Lauren Alison of the blog The Fashion Dailies who recently came in and shared her experience with Silkpeel Diamond Glow here at Lapiel. Read her full post to check out her stellar before & afters as well as the contents of her waste jar!

Check out some of our favorite excerpts and read her fill post HERE

What happens during your Silkpeel Diamond Glow?

“Okay so let’s translate this into terms that we can wrap our brains around. This is what really goes down- your aesthetician prepares your skin for the treatment by taking off any makeup and cleansing with a wash that suits your skincare needs. Next, you talk about your desired results from the treatment. For me, I said clearer, more radiant skin. I’d been experiencing some breakouts and texture around my forehead (a place I rarely ever breakout,) so I wanted to get rid of that ASAP.

“The procedure starts on your neck, where the aesthetician does one layer of treatment. The best way I can describe the feeling is if you imagined the suction tool they use at the dentist, remember that little hose? Imagine that being swiped across your face and neck. It’s totally painless, not uncomfortable or unpleasant at all. If anything it’s a little ticklish! This tiny-but-mighty pen suctions out all the bad stuff stuck deep down in your pores while simultaneously pumping the treatment into your skin. My favorite part of the treatment is the end when you can see your “waste jar” that is holding everything that was sucked out of your pores! I’m not joking, you can see actual blackheads floating around in the water, and it’s absolutely magical. Talk about real-time results!”

Results?

“All in all the treatment takes about 25 minutes, so it’s quick, easy, and leaves your skin instantly softer, clearer and calmer. The best part? There is zero downtime! No redness, no puffiness and your skin looks better than it did when you walked in.”

A big Thank You to Lauren for sharing her experience with Silkpeel here at Lapiel! Follow along with her adventure on her Blog and on Instagram @TheFashionDailies– Where she’ll be sharing more of her favorite beauty secrets as well as an extra special post on her Botox treatment!

How To Maintain Your Professional Treatment Results At Home With Eminence Organic Exfoliating Peels
How To Maintain Your Professional Treatment Results At Home With Eminence Organic Exfoliating Peels

How To Maintain Your Professional Treatment Results At Home With Eminence Organic Exfoliating Peels

So many of our clients ask us this question! Whether its a Chemical Peel, Silkpeel Microdermabrasion treatment, or yes, even that Laser Skin Rejuvenation, treatments like this require maintenance. While the number one suggestion we have is always SPF (of at least 30, applied throughout the day, even throughout the winter months!), we believe that adding an exfoliation step to your routine can help maximize your in office treatment results and help you maintain those results at home. Which is why are loving and sharing our favorite Eminence Organic Exfoliating Peels with you! See how adding one to your regimen can leave your skin feeling brighter, softer, and more vibrant.

As you may already know, at home peels are having a MAJOR moment right now. You can’t walk into a Sephora or Blue Mercury without being bombarded with Glycolic or Hyluronic or some other kind of -onic. At home peels help remove dead skin cells mainly through the use of acids which loosen the bonds between cells and dissolve dead skin away. Unlike scrubs, peel ingredients sink into the skin, targeting deeper layers of skin cells. What sets the Eminence Organic Exfoliating Peels apart is the ability to choose just the right combination of acids to ideally suit your skin type and concern. These revolutionary peels use fruit-sourced acids like Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA) to gently slough away dead skin cells, clean pores, and reveal a more youthful skin. Use one to two pumps in circular motions all over the face and neck and carry on with your usual skin care routine! These peels are designed to be left on the skin and used 3-4 times per week. A perfect addition to your beauty arsenal, Eminence Organic Exfoliating Peels are perfect for big events and days when you’re feeling like you could use a little extra radiance!

Choosing the right peel can perfectly complement your professional treatments and help you maintain that post-treament glow way beyond the day of your treatment. Priced at about a dollar a peel, the only thing to think about is which one you should pick up!

Bright Skin Licorice Root Exfoliating Peel

Kick Summer Sun Damage and uneven skin to the curb with this treatment! Lactic and mandelic acids remove dead skin cells while licorice root and our Natural Hydroquinone Alternative from African potato and tara tree brighten the appearance of dark spots.

Firm Skin Acai Exfoliating Peel

This firming peel solution is formulated for normal to dry or mature skin types. Packed with antioxidants sourced from acai berry, grapefruit and goji, the peel also includes lactic and glycolic acids for firmer looking skin.

Clear Skin Willow Bark Exfoliating Peel

A deep-cleansing, clarifying peel solution for problem skin types. Ingredients include salicylic acid which removes surface impurities, willow bark to calm the look of skin, while lilac helps reduce the appearance of redness and inflammation.

All Three peels are priced at $79… Take home a sample today!

Help us help some very deserving CPS Students this fall!

Recently one of our amazing clients told us about her classroom at Schmid Elementary on Chicago’s South Side. Schmid Elementary is a Pre-k through 8th grade, title 1 school. It is small neighborhood school so the supplies truly benefit the entire school. Quinlan, a teacher at Schmid (and an amazing Barre teacher over at Pure Barre Lakeview) described the very real need for basic supplies like paper and pencils and things we sometimes take for granted as our kids get ready to head into the new school year. With that in mind we were driven to find a way to help her help her students after the initial back-to-school rush!

Bring in any two items from the list below and we’ll treat you to a full size version of our Eminence Organic Apricot Body Oil!

-Copy Paper

-Pencils

-Lined Paper

-Notebook

-Index Cards

-Coloring Supplies

-Construction Paper

– Hand Sanitizer

We will be collecting supplies through the end of November. Stop by anytime and add your donation to our Supply Box and pick up your free Apricot Body Oil($28 Value). No purchase neccessary! Thank you for helping us help the kids at Schmid Elementary!

Seduce your senses with our luxurious Apricot Body Oil. A Vogue, ELLE and Marie Claire favorite, this award-winning body oil blends fragrant apricot, moisturizing grape seed and hydrating jojoba oils for skin that is irresistibly smooth and supple from head to toe.

Check out some of the amazing uses of our favorite body oil that go way beyond a simple moisturizer!

REMEDY DRY ELBOWS & KNEES
Not just for backrubs, the Apricot Body Oil is also fantastic for dry, rough body parts including elbows and knees. As good as the best body lotion for dry skin, this rich body oil sinks moisture into your dry, winter-ravaged skin and smooths out rough problem areas.

Personal Favorite Alert:

CONDITION DRY HAIR ENDS
Don’t restrict this oil to just skin care! If you suffer from thirsty, damaged hair ends, our Apricot Body Oil can step in as your emergency intensive hair conditioner. Just dab a few drops of the oil on hair ends to rehydrate and repair.

TREAT RAGGED CUTICLES
Nails and cuticles tend to suffer during harsh winter months, developing a ragged and unkempt look. If you find your cuticles desperate for a little TLC, rub in a drop of Apricot Body Oil to smooth them out and nourish your nail beds. Your nails (and hands!) will look sleek again in no time.

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!”

The Busy Girl’s Guide To Summer Skin
The Busy Girl’s Guide To Summer Skin

The Busy Girl’s Guide To Summer Skin

Blogger, Stylist and Beautyprenuer Lynzie Wellin of the Blog LyfeStyle Win recently shared her experience with Laser Hair Removal on her blog

See how she decided to prep for a busy summer and finally ditch that razor!

Here are some of her prep tips:

Do Your Research– Laser Hair Removal is an investment. With anything, you get what you pay for. Catalina’s medical background, experience, and her level of care sets Lapiel apart.
Plan Out Your Treatment Schedule– This summer I’ll be wearing Maxi skirts to keep my legs covered while staying cool. With Laser, my skin needs to be protected from the sun as much as possible. In my opinion, one summer of extra precautions is a small price to pay, but many of my beach babe friends would be struggling to stay out of the sun through these next couple months. If you’re planning for a specific event, like a wedding or vacation, discuss this in advance as well.
Use the Numbing Cream– I don’t know what award I was trying to win by not using the suggested numbing application before my first few underarm treatments, but with my legs I took precautions! Because it’s a large area, it’s a longer appointment and the repetition of the Laser can be a bit more intense. I apply the cream two hours before I go in, and it is night and day in pain management! I can always tell if I’ve missed a spot!
Take an Ibuprofen– Again, I don’t know why I needed to go in without Ibuprofen before, but I won’t again! A few weeks back, I had my Wisdom Teeth removed. My recovery was fairly painless and quick, so I had quite a few of my prescription Ibuprofen left over. I decided to take one before I went in for my last treatment and again the pain management was night and day!
Follow the Post Treatment Recommendations– Again, you’re investing here. Follow the post care instructions to achieve the best results. Keep your treatments on schedule, stay out of the sun, and don’t wax or pluck.

Getting Married? We’ve Got Your Beauty Timeline!

You’re engaged! While I’m sure you’ve thought about the big things like venue, caterers and flowers, most people don’t start thinking about their bridal beauty services until its too late! Here is a simple guide for brides AND grooms to help plan for some of our most popular pre-wedding services, along with the best times to start thinking about them. Schedule a free consultation and let us help you look your best on your big day!

Laser Hair Removal— 12 Months

No one wants to deal with plucking, waxing, shaving or tweezing leading up to their big day! Whether it’s a strapless dress or a beachside honeymoon you’re planning for, you should consider booking your first laser appointment about a year before your wedding day. Most areas require 6-8 sessions and are booked every 5-6 weeks. What this means is that entire process, from start to finish can take up to a year to complete. After just one treatment we’re sure you’ll wish you’d started years ago! Get ready show off smooth, bump free skin in time for your wedding.

Botox – 6 Months

When you look back at your wedding photos, the only thing that should look dated is your dress! More and more brides are looking to kick their beauty regimen up a notch in preparation for the big day. In some cases this means adding Botox to their to-do list. If you choose to go this route, we recommend doing two rounds before the wedding day with your first visit scheduled at least six months prior to ensure you are happy with your results. Your second visit should be scheduled 1 month before the wedding so that you are looking your absolute best on your wedding day.

Skin Care— 3-6 Months

We always want picture perfect skin, but its extra important on the day all cameras are pointed your way. We offer a myriad of options when it comes to Skin Care for both brides and grooms. Some of our most popular? Silkpeel Diamond Glow and Glytone Chemical Peels. A step beyond the traditional facial, these game-changing treatments can handle anything from acne to hyperpigmentation. The only catch is you may need a few treatments, which is why we recommend giving yourself a few months to get your skin where you’d like to be. Take advantage of our free consultations and outline your goals with our Esthetician who can put together a treatment plan for you!

Latisse—3 Months

Forget the false lashes and grow your own darker, thicker, longer lashes with Latisse! Full results take 16 weeks so make sure to pick up a box at least three months before your wedding and get ready to bat those lashes in every photo!

See what other Beauty Appointments The Knot suggests booking before your wedding HERE

We cannot wait to help you get ready for your big day!
