If you’re tired of costly eyelash extensions, fear your falsies falling out, or are feeling weighed down by heavy layers of mascara, you’ll be happy to learn that we offer Latisse.

Latisse can you help you grow thicker, darker, and longer lashes naturally for a flirty, fluttery look so that you never have to schedule another lash extension appointment again.

Reasons to Avoid Eyelash Extensions

There’s a good chance that you’re familiar with eyelash extensions, as well as false eyelashes. While extensions and false eyelashes technically achieve the same goal, they do so very differently. False eyelashes, or “falsies,” are designed for temporary use, often just one day. Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent and can last for up to 12 weeks.

Eyelash extensions are fake, individual eyelashes that are glued on one by one to natural eyelashes by an aesthetician. As the real lashes grow, so will the extensions, until both eventually fall off.

While extensions may seem like a good idea, they may not be your best choice. This option requires having the eyelashes filled every two to four weeks, resulting in expensive and time-consuming sessions. You also must avoid using any sort of oil-based cleanser or product that could possibly touch your lashes, creating further inconveniences and expenses.

Other setbacks to choosing eyelash extensions include the “fall out process.” Extensions will fall out along with your natural eyelashes. You will be losing lashes in between fillings, and there’s really nothing you can do except wait.

Following your fill, you will have to wait 12-24 hours before showering, and you will need to take extra precaution while doing so. Any water that directly touches the adhesive used to place the lashes can weaken, causing the lashes to fall out prematurely. Then, it will be necessary to blow dry your lashes.

If you have sensitive eyes or allergies, then eyelash extensions could pose a problem. It has been known for those with allergies to experience burning or discomfort while having eyelash extensions put on—this isn’t normal. If you do feel any discomfort, then eyelash extensions are most likely not for you.

Thankfully, there is a superior alternative available: Latisse.

About Latisse

Latisse achieves a more natural look than extensions because its results are natural. The lashes you will be showing off with Latisse will be 100% yours.

Further, Latisse is safe and FDA-approved.  Bimatoprost, the active ingredient in Latisse, is often found in eye drops as a glaucoma medication, so it is very safe to use near your eyes.

Applying Latisse is relatively easy; the small bottle of solution comes with a supply of sterile, one-time use applicators. Patients need to brush the liquid onto the upper eyelash line. This same liquid will naturally transfer to the lower eyelids as you blink but should not be applied there directly.

Overall, it’s much easier than having to schedule extension fills every two weeks, placing and removing falsies, or poking your eye with a mascara wand (we’ve all been there).

Latisse has been proven to work for almost all patients. After the conclusion of a 16-week study, participants saw a 25 percent increase in length, a 106 percent increase in fullness, and an 18 percent increase in darkness. While Latisse does have a cosmetic appeal, it still must be prescribed to patients by a doctor.

As with most medications, side effects have been experienced, such as red and/or itchy eyes. However, the pros outweigh the small cons of this treatment. Latisse is safe, affordable, easy-to-apply, convenient, and effective. The results are also lasting; as long as you keep applying Latisse regularly, you will continue to experience, longer, fuller, darker eyelashes.

At Aesthetic Art in Palm Springs, we can fully walk you through the treatment process, informing you of what to expect and how to properly care for your eyelashes. We want this to be an easy, pain-free experience that you enjoy. If you have questions or concerns regarding this product and your candidacy, we are here to help.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting longer, fuller eyelashes. From safety to convenience, to effectiveness and price, we suggest ditching eyelash extensions and growing your natural lashes out with Latisse.

Life can often be stressful. Whether that stress stems from the office, your relationship, or other daily struggles and worries, the stress is still present—and it’s unhealthy. To add insult to injury, when you’re stressed, it shows, and usually on your face. Stress can take the form of unwanted lines, wrinkles, or creases.

However, at Aesthetic Art in Palm Springs, we offer a convenient and affordable treatment that can successfully smooth and revive your appearance.

Do you need or want to freshen up the skin on your face? Learn more about PRP today!

PRP treatments (platelet-rich plasma) first emerged as innovative treatments for sports injuries. Today, however, the very same treatments can rejuvenate your appearance. Known as a PRP facial, this procedure has become popular among celebrities, as well as patients who want a fresher, smoother look. Specifically, PRP facials address the root of the aging process by using the patient’s own blood in an easy, fast, and relatively pain-free manner.

To start, the platelet-rich plasma is spread over the entire face as a serum. This serum contains a myriad of components that are conducive for healing, including fibroblasts. Then, we use a collagen induction therapy method to create tiny holes into which the serum will be absorbed. Once the absorption takes place, volume is instantly created, filling both sunken features of the face and deep wrinkles. Further, the serum is rich with natural growth factors, fades age spots, and builds collagen into the dermis.

As a result, the PRP facial treatment improves skin texture, tone, and overall quality. This creates a youthful, refreshed appearance.

Most individuals are overly pleased to learn about the variety of benefits offered by the PRP facial. For example, since the serum used in the treatment comes from each patient, there is no risk for infection, allergic reaction, or rejection. Simply put, this is a completely safe, reliable, and all-natural process to smooth and revive your appearance.

One of the most popular factors of the treatment, is that downtime is not extensive. After the procedure, slight redness and puffiness should be expected for a two-day period. Working patients can have this procedure on a Friday, take the weekend to recover, and be back in the office by Monday.

The actual treatment itself takes roughly a half an hour to complete, during which, most patients report no feelings of discomfort. For most patients to reach optimal results, we recommend a series of three treatments at one-month intervals.

As previously stated, patients with all skin types are welcome to schedule a consultation for the PRP facial. The ideal patient is someone who wants a fresher look, but without the expense, downtime, and inconvenience of facelift or other types of surgery. However, individuals who are currently taking blood thinning medication or are prone to blood clots should not consider this procedure.

As with any type of cosmetic treatment or procedure, there is always the possibility of negative side effects. PRP facial patients may experience redness, soreness, and/or swelling. Yet, these side effects are only temporary, and if they do occur, they generally subside within just a few days. Following treatment, it will be necessary to avoid direct sunlight.

With age, our facial appearance tends to change. However, with PRP facial, we can revive our appearance and enjoy better skin.

Are you ready to be informed about the benefits of non-invasive procedures?

First, before you become aware of the benefits offered by our treatments, it is necessary to learn which non-invasive, or minimally invasive procedures we offer. From undesired age spots to fat build up, getting older can be a cruel process. Therefore, a variety of services are conveniently available at our facility for all wants and needs, including the following:

While each of these options have their own individual strengths, they all share one beneficial element in common: these procedures are non-invasive. However, what is so great about a non-invasive procedure?

Non-invasive procedures are generally less painful than other types of procedures. Since there is (typically) no cutting or need for an incision, these treatments, at most, offer some mild discomfort, for which a light pain medication can be prescribed. Yet, even the need for medication is rare. Because there is no pain (or less pain) involved in these types of procedures, patients do not have to worry about long recovery periods or taking time off from work and/or their daily activities.

Non-invasive procedures require less, and often, no downtime. As mentioned above, no pain also means no recovery time. To take that point a step further, it is significant to note that most individuals who receive a non-invasive procedure immediately return to work following treatment. Because there is no downtime, there is also no need to miss work (i.e. use a vacation or sick day) or any other daily event or activity.

Non-invasive procedures are more convenient than other procedures. The procedures listed above do not require anesthesia or the need for anything similar. This results in fast, convenient treatment. In fact, some of the treatments, such as Kybella, can be performed in as quickly as 15 to 20 minutes. Therefore, in the past, patients have opted to have the procedure performed on their lunch hour, before immediately returning to work.

Non-invasive procedures offer fewer risks and complications. Again, because you’re not going “under the knife,” there is less possibility for something negative to occur during or after the treatment has been completed. Sure, non-invasive procedures, just like any other type of cosmetic procedure, can result in consequences. However, consequences are rare, especially when the procedure is performed by a skilled and trained professional. Better yet, minor side effects of non-invasive procedures generally only include slight redness, numbness, and bruising, all of which quickly subside within a week or two. Further, patients who pursue non-invasive procedures do not have to worry about unattractive scars or wounds.

Non-invasive procedures are more affordable than other procedures. Since non-invasive procedures are performed quickly, without anesthesia and overnight hospital stays, you will discover that these treatments are offered at a better rate.

Finally, non-invasive procedures often offer faster results than other procedures and surgeries. This is due to several factors, but mostly because there is no need for incisions, meaning you will not have to be stitched up following surgery, or worry about a particular body part or area needing time to heal before the results become visible.

To sum it up, the benefits of non-invasive procedures are endless, with the most popular elements including the following:

Of course, depending on a patient’s wants or needs, sometimes, a non-invasive procedure is not a possibility. You should speak to your doctor regarding your cosmetic treatment goals to discover whether or not they can be accomplished without the need for invasive surgery. As a result, you could save time, money, hassle, and energy.
