Photo Shoot 7.10.13

We did an awesome photo shoot at PicCouture in the District this past week. We had such a blast doing them and the people at PicCouture were so great to work with! Here are some awesome shots from our shoot that we thought we would share with you all on the blog.

We had just started Crossfit about a week before these pictures and our bodies were seriously so sore... that is all I can think about when I look at these pictures. It's a miracle we could actually pull off the poses. haha. I guess that is what having an amazing yoga instructor is all about.. :) I could not have done it without Caden. He is just the best! 

We are wanting to put together a couples "Partner Yoga" class soon and teach everyone how to do these poses together! It is so much fun to connect and support each other in these yoga poses. I promise you will love it! So if you are interested let us know :)  

Microdermabrasion

As I mentioned in my post from Vegas, I purchased the amazing PMD at the Spa & Wellness show and I have fallen in love! This product is amazing! PMD stands for "Personal Microdermabrasion". What I love about this product is that it can be used in a professional setting (such as Volaire :) ) or it can even be purchased for someone to use at home! 

I am so excited to be adding Microderm as a service at Volaire. Many of my clients ask me exactly what a microdermabrasion is and what are the benefits. 

Here is a little about it: It is a noninvasive form of exfoliation and mild skin resurfacing. It removes dead skin cells from the outer most layer of the skin. It is amazing at treating acne, fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, scarring and pigmentation. While performing a microdermabrasion treatment, as the skin is exfoliated on this top layer, breaking apart these "imperfections" listed above, this triggers the body's healing mechanism to remove the dead skin cells and rapidly replace it with new and healthy ones! 

The one thing that I have loved about the PMD is that it also has a vacuum suction with the exfoliation. The combination of the two reduces the formation of blemishes. The vacuum achieves this by clearing out the clogged pores and releasing all that trapped dirt and oil, leaving the skin more clear and vibrant! 

I used to this for the first time last week and have only used it once. My dead skin flaked off for a few days and afterwards it looked and felt so amazing!! I can't wait to try it again :) 

Doing microdermabrasion is always best in a series, if you are looking for serious results...however they are still great as a refresher for your skin. 

We offer this service at Volaire... and I also purchased one to sell if anyone is interested in buying their own PMD. If I have several people interested I will definitely get more! :) I use and sell the "pro" version, which offers more settings and that is not sold in stores, only by Licensed Estheticians.

Please contact me if you would like any other information. I would be more than happy to answer any questions!
