Touted as one of the best skin treatments on the market today, SkinPhD works with all skin types, even those with extremely sensitive skin. It can help keep skin looking its best, and reduce those fine lines and wrinkles that afflict many of us as we embark on the aging process. Above All offers the full line of SkinPhD products, as well as cold laser therapy facials to enhance results.

“I am thrilled with our newest product line, SkinPhD,” said Diane Robison, owner of Above All Grand Salon and Spa. “I believe that it is the best product on the market and I am excited about offering our new cold laser, photo bio-simulation facials to our clients.”

Ms. Robison said she always is searching for new and exciting products for her clients, and believes the SkinPhD line fits that bill.

The unique formulations in the product line are what make it so effective. The products are produced in the United States; however, the luxurious ingredients found in them are derived from fruits, plants and precious stones which are native to South Africa. Among the ingredients featured in the products is Zincite, Marula fruit and the Kalahari Melon.

The results of using the SkinPhD line can be greatly enhanced when combined with a cold laser therapy facial, which also now is being offered at Above All.

Cold laser therapy has been used for three decades and has traditionally been used to treat muscular and skeletal pain and injuries. It has only been since 2011 that it has grown in popularity for use in helping to maintain healthy skin and to help slow the aging process.

Following a facial using the SkinPhD line, clients will receive a cold laser therapy facial, which focuses on the energy points of the face to help stimulate increased blood flow and lymph circulation.

Ms. Robison said that she is amazed at the results she has seen in her clients who have received the cold laser therapy treatments. “We are seeing tremendous results in the appearance of so many different skin types and issues.”

It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul and your eyebrows are the frames which support them. These quiet little hairs above the eyes are a major feature in defining the face and make such a dramatic difference in your total look. Several cosmetic methods have been developed to enhance the look of one’s eyebrows, whether the goal is to add or remove hair, change the shape or change the color of the eyebrows. Well defined and groomed brows can be extremely flattering and make your eyes even more beautiful.

Anastasia Soare of Anastasia Beverly Hills is the eyebrow guru. “My goal is to make the eyebrows beautifully symmetrical,” she says, “because even when features are asymmetrical—as they most often are—well-shaped brows will bring a kind of harmony to the face.” Eyebrows that are too thick, too thin, not long enough or unruly can call so much attention to themselves that other, prettier features go unnoticed. Beautifully shaped eyebrow can lift your whole look.

Everyone has a shape to their brows that works naturally with your eyes and face. Most women have altered their original shape either by over tweezing, over waxing and yes, by even shaving them. In order for the hairs to grow back, it takes time, patience and a good eyebrow powder to fill in the spaces to create a beautiful and desired shape to the brows.
The perfect brow design is waiting for you. Book your appointment today with Cynthia and let her choose the right look for your brows at Above All Salon & Spa and mention that you saw this blog and receive 10% off your service with her.

When it comes to hair anything goes in an effort to make us feel beautiful. And often this effort means the pursuit of professional hair care – that service that will keep our hair healthy and looking great. Of course, such service comes at a price – some higher than others – but most find that it is more than worth the expense. Can you cut your hair at home? Yes. Can you color your hair with the use of a product you picked up at your local drugstore? Absolutely. But what you save in avoiding professional hair care you will almost certainly wind up spending down the road to fix damage you have caused.

Professional hair care typically requires a trip to a salon where your hair will be washed, conditioned, cut, and styled. Your stylist can assess the health of your hair and determine if you need a deep conditioning treatment and what cut will work best with your particular hair. Developing a long term relationship with a stylist allows you to know what you’re getting when you walk in; it also allows the stylist to get to know your hair and subsequently learn what to look for in determining the health of your hair. Trimming the hair allows the hair to grow and keeps it healthy. If you do not trim your hair, the ends become split and your hair becomes dry, broken, and brittle.

For those who color their hair, professional hair care is even more important. If done incorrectly, color can damage your hair long term. A professional hair colorist can expertly treat your hair and help you decide what color looks best on your hair and against your face.

At Above All we have a wide range of stylists that can tailor your look to work with your hair type and style. Also, our stylists can recommend and show how to use our products to help maintain your style.

The Benefits Of Massage
What exactly are the benefits of receiving massage or bodywork treatments? Useful for all of the conditions listed below and more, massage can:

• Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
• Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
• Ease medication dependence.
• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body’s natural defense system.
• Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
• Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
• Improve the condition of the body’s largest organ—the skin.
• Increase joint flexibility.
• Lessen depression and anxiety.
• Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
• Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improvingcirculation.
• Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
• Reduce spasms and cramping.
• Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
• Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body’s natural painkiller.
• Relieve migraine pain.

A Powerful Ally
There’s no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the adjectives we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it out (a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen.

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. This translates into:

• Decreased anxiety.
• Enhanced sleep quality.
• Greater energy.
• Improved concentration.
• Increased circulation.
• Reduced fatigue.

Furthermore, clients often report a sense of perspective and clarity after receiving a massage. The emotional balance bodywork provides can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits.

Profound Effects
In response to massage, specific physiological and chemical changes cascade throughout the body, with profound effects. Research shows that with massage:

• Arthritis sufferers note fewer aches and less stiffness and pain.
• Asthmatic children show better pulmonary function and increased peak air flow.
• Burn injury patients report reduced pain, itching, and anxiety.
• High blood pressure patients demonstrate lower diastolic blood pressure, anxiety, and stress hormones.
• Premenstrual syndrome sufferers have decreased water retention and cramping.
• Preterm infants have improved weight gain.

Research continues to show the enormous benefits of touch—which range from treating chronic diseases, neurological disorders, and injuries, to alleviating the tensions of modern lifestyles. Consequently, the medical community is actively embracing bodywork, and massage is becoming an integral part of hospice care and neonatal intensive care units. Many hospitals are also incorporating on-site massage practitioners and even spas to treat post-surgery or pain patients as part of the recovery process.

Increase the Benefits with Frequent Visits
Getting a massage can do you a world of good. And getting massage frequently can do even more. This is the beauty of bodywork. Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled self-care can play a huge part in how healthy you’ll be and how youthful you’ll remain with each passing year. Budgeting time and money for bodywork at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health. And remember: just because massage feels like a pampering treat doesn’t mean it is any less therapeutic. Consider massage appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan, and work with your practitioner to establish a treatment schedule that best meets your needs.
