Venus Freeze™ A Skin Tightening Treatment

Posted in Medical Spa, Products, Santa Barbara, Spa, Treatments.

Yes, the name can be a bit misleading…because you are not going to freeze…in fact it feels more like a hot stone massage!

Ok, here is the technical stuff. The Venus Freeze™, so named as it “Freezes Time”, uses heat from a patented Multi Polar Technology and Magnetic Pulses to target fat cells and activate the skin’s natural restoration process. The controlled thermal action of the Multi Polar Technology stimulates collagen production and elastin synthesis for wrinkle and cellulite reduction. At the same time the Magnetic Pulses induce the growth of new blood vessels and trigger the growth of cells that produce collagen fibers, rejuvenating the supply of nutrients to the skin for younger, firmer looking skin.

In the media Venus Freeze™ has been featured frequently and it has been demonstrated on The Doctors and The Rachael Ray Show. In both these promotions you can witness some astonishing results. The Venus Freeze™ is not the only game in town, but it is the one we believe is the overall best for cellulite reducing, wrinkle diminishing and skin tightening.

As it is Dr. Griffin’s goal to help accentuate her client’s natural beauty, we promote products and services that most benefit our clients with minimal pain, minimal downtime and great results. This is why we are such big fans of the Venus Freeze™. Our clients love the results!

Call us for a consultation. We would be happy to answer your questions on the Venus Freeze™ or any of our other medical spa services. If you are considering several Venus Freeze™ treatments, The G Spa offers the Venus Freeze™Tight Club as a way to help you save money.

We look forward to seeing you!

Lovely Lips with Juvederm VOLBELLA® XC

Posted in The G Spa Medical Spa & Laser Center, Volbella.

The G Spa Medical Spa and Laser Center in Santa Barbara is happy to announce the addition of Juvederm VOLBELLA® XC to their spa service line up.  VOLBELLA® XC is a new filler which can give a wide variety of very subtle and natural results in various areas of the face. So, what could it do for you?

Full, Luscious Lips

Juvederm VOLBELLA® XC is designed to give a soft, natural look.  It can do wonders for the natural shape of the lips, help to create a more defined cupid’s bow (the double-curved bow at the top edge of a person’s upper lip) and alleviate the fine lines around the mouth which can make lips look smaller.  The effects are designed to be very natural. For a more dramatic effect, Juvederm® ULTRA XC may be a more suitable filler, because it can provide plenty of luscious volume. Ultimately, a consultation is necessary to determine the most suitable filler for your unique features and needs, and to determine the best method for achieving the results you desire.

Cupids Bow

Improve the Shape of Your Lips

The soft consistency mentioned above makes it possible for Dr. Griffin at The G Spa to carefully augment the shape of the lips in order to restore lost volume without creating an excessively plumped look. Those who feel that the natural shape of their lips has declined with age are able to restore their youthful pout, and those who have particularly straight or thin lips can achieve a more defined cupid’s bow and delicately plumped appearance that looks very natural. VOLBELLA® XC is also a great filler for gently lifting the corners of the lips, which is ideal for those who have a downward shape to their mouth.

Reduce the Severity of Smile Lines

Nasolabial folds, the lines which run from the outside of the nose down to the mouth, are often an unwanted side effect of aging. However, they’re also referred to as our “smile lines” and are a signifier of all the happy moments in our life so far. Rather than completely smoothing them out completely, VOLBELLA® XC can add a touch of extra volume in order to gently soften them. It’s a great way to achieve a more youthful appearance subtly.

Minimize Crows Feet

Although VOLBELLA® XC is most frequently used as a filler for the lips and mouth area, it’s also a great one for gently smoothing away crow’s feet. Since crow’s feet tend to be very fine lines, the soft consistency of VOLBELLA® XC is perfect for adding just a touch of added volume to plump up the skin and create an incredibly natural finish.

Reduces the Appearance of Vertical Lip Lines

VOLBELLA® XC is FDA approved for lip augmentation and the treatment of perioral rhytids, which are the fine vertical lines which occur around the mouth.  These lines are a major telltale sign of aging. Since VOLBELLA® XC has a very soft consistency, it’s a brilliant filler for gently smoothing out these lines while maintaining a very natural shape to the upper lip.

Dr. Griffin and her staff would love to help you achieve full, lovely, kissable lips, call today to learn more!

To Ink or Not to Ink…

Posted in DeScribe Patch, Laser Tattoo Removal, Medical Spa, Santa Barbara, Tattoo Removal, The G Spa.

Tattooing, a form of body modification, is made by inserting ink into the skins dermis layer to change its pigment.

The first written reference to the word tattoo (or tatau), appears in the journal of Joseph Banks (1743-1820)  the naturalist aboard Captain Cook’s ship the HMS Endeavor in its exploration of Tahiti and New Zealand.

 “I shall now mention the way they mark themselves indelibly, each of them is so marked by their humour or disposition”.

Sounds fascinating…Fast forward more than two decades to a period where 1 out of every 5 adults (21%) has at least one tattoo and approximately 40% of those aged 18 to 29 have them!

I must admit, although I am not tattooed, I have stood in several tattoo parlors and pondered the idea.  I admire them on others, including the ones that adorn my heavily tattooed son and the ones on my otherwise very conservative brother.

Yes, tattoos can be stunning, surreal, provocative, commemorative or whimsical…but what happens when this art form takes a bad turn; what if you break up with your “one true love” and no longer want his/her name emblazoned on your shoulder?  Or your friend, the fledgling tattoo artists, is not quite the artist you thought they were? Or the tramp stamp that you thought looked hot on you when you were 25 does not look so hot on you at 50, or you simply outgrow skeletons and roses?

THAT IS WHERE WE COME IN!

Tattoo-removal-eraser

The G Spa Santa Barbara is pleased to introduce the DESCRIBE Transparent PFD Patch, the most significant advance in tattoo removal!

The Describe Patch is integrated into current laser tattoo removal regimens by simply placing the Patch, which contains perfluorodecalin (PFD), an inert, non-toxic, transparent liquid over the tattoo being removed.

  • Allowing for multiple laser passes over the tattoo in a single treatment session.
  • Drawing away heat from the top layer of skin, resulting in a more comfortable treatment session.
  • Providing for shorter regimen overall.
  • Less painful and less costly.

If you are rethinking that ink, Dr. Griffin and the staff at the G Spa would love to help you get a fresh start! Call us for more information.
