A Facial Must!!!
Copyright 2011. Bay Harbour Med Spa. All rights reserved.
Did you know that STEAM plays an extremely important role in a facials? In order to provide a thorough deep cleansing facial applying steam to the skin is one of the most effective ways to do so.
The benefits of steam (whether for the entire body or for the face during the facial):
- relief of muscle soreness and stiff joints
- detoxification of the lymph nodes
- improvement in blood circulation this is important, because it brings more oxygen and nutrients to the skin’s surface
Additionally, steam softens the skin addition to also loosening harmful residue, allowing for the deep-seated debris and dead skin cells to be flushed out. Some facialists or med spas will choose to charge extra for this service, in our humble opinion, you should run out the door if that’s the case!!! At Bay Harbour Med Spa steam is an integral part of the facial, it would be highly unethical to charge extra for steam. After all, blackheads, whiteheads, dead skin cells and so on would not be able to be thoroughly cleaned out.

Anti-aging Skin Treatments for Men
Copyright 2011. Bay Harbour Med Spa. All rights reserved.
If you’re a man and landed on our this page, chances are you’re interested or wondering about anti-aging in men. First, please note, since 2007 we’ve seen a big rise in skin care for men and their concern with aging, at our Miami med spa. Yes, men too, slather on skin care products in hopes of reducing the appearance of aging skin. If you’re wondering if this is a heterosexual or homosexual issue, it’s not! In fact, most of our male clients who frequent are Miami med spa for men’s facials, are straight!
Here’s a little advice we’d like to share with you in hopes that you too will be able to combat the aging process in a graceful tangible manner………………………
Do you have trouble sleeping? Are you sleep deprived?
A rested night’s sleep improves and maintains overall texture and integrity of the skin, as well as allows the skin cells to renew themselves. However, most men do not get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation can lead to the formation of dark circles, wrinkles, puffy eye bags, and lines under the eyes.
Helpful tips for better sleep:
- Use cotton balls dipped in green tea bags, which have been brewed, than cooled in the fridge. Apply to onto closed eyes. This will decrease puffiness around the eyes and reduce free radical damage causes by the environment.
- We highly recommend the help with sleep CD by Roberta Shapiro, a psychotherapist based out of Miami, Fl. Her help with sleep and help with anxiety cd series have worked wonders for many of our clients. Listen to sample of Sleep, Solutions HERE.
Men, typically, more so than women, have fewer fine facial wrinkles because they have thicker skin and hair follicles, and the ‘by default’ exfoliation that occurs due to daily shaving. However, this does not preclude men from needing reparative skin care treatments. If you’re a male living in South Florida, visit our website for more information on our skin care treatments exclusive for men.
Additionally, you should eat foods rich in antioxidants (make sure to browse through this blog as well as Laser Hair Removal Miami’s blog, for great articles on antioxidants). You should also apply a moisturizer daily and apply sun block to help reduce the aging process and maintain healthy looking skin.

Are You A Candidate For Crystal Microdermabrasion ™
Copyright 2011. Bay Harbour Med Spa. All rights reserved.
Thinking of under going microdermabrasion treatments? We find that there’s not a lot of important information on what you should know as far as preparing for this incredible treatment. Our med spa proudly introduced Crystal Microdermabrasion ™ to Miami some years back. In this article we cover what we look for during scheduled consultations. If you don’t live in Greater Miami or Miami Beach, these are the type of things your esthetician should be looking at during your pre-treatment consultation.
What we look for during our Crystal Microdermabrasion ™ with potential clients:
- Does the skin have creases?
- Is the skin tight or firm?
- Does the skin show signs of environmental damage ( e.g. sun damage)?
- In our ethnic clients we look to see if the skin is unevenly pigmented ( e.g. hyperpigmentation), scarred, shiny or sensitive.
- Does the neck area lace elasticity (tone)?
- We look around the eyes, is the skin dry, are there dark circles, are there visible wrinkles?
- We even look at our clients’ make-up, is it cracked, have a dry caked on look, or is it smooth?
If there are any positive signs to the above, than more than likely you are a candidate for Crystal Microdermabrasion ™ . Regular microdermabrasion maintenance treatments help provide smoother, blemish-free skin. An added bonus of microdermabrasion is that it enhances penetration of other agents because they remove some of the stratum corneum, part of the skin’s barrier mechanism.
4 Must Have Ingredients In Face Treatments
Copyright 2011. Bay Harbour Med Spa. All rights reserved.
Dear reader-
We take pride in being Miami’s formidable med spas specializing in authentic European skin care. Our med spa is located between Miami Beach and Sunny Isles. Our facials are comprised of organic natural fruit or vegetable extracts. However, our deluxe microdermabrasion treatments and ultrasonic face treatments incorporate four must have ingredients (although these are more expensive, the benefits to our clients are enormous):
- Alpha Hydroxy Acid: AHA’s are naturally derived from milk and fruit sugars. The three most used AHA’s used in skin treatments are glycolic acids from sugar cane, citric acid from citrus fruits and lactic acid from milk. The advantages have shown to have significant anti aging effects when used at effective concentrations.
- Antioxidants: When unstable oxygen molecules produced during cell metabolism take electrons from other atoms and can damage structural membranes which attack the skin cells. This action creates signs of aging such as wrinkles and brown spots.
- Retinoids (Vitamin A) also known as Retin-A: This is a very potent antioxidant. Continued and appropriate concentrations will improve the ability to improve dry skin, roughness, fine lines and loose skin.
- Peptides: Derived from amino acids, the result is a stimulation of collagen production and improved wound healing. Cosmetically, peptides have shown to significantly decrease both wrinkle depth and volume by as much as 45%.
