Yesterday on the NewBeauty blog, they posted an article about the difference between men and women regarding where their fat "falls". Here are their claims, "It doesn't take a doctor to see that men and women carry fat differently. Men tend to pack it on in the belly, whereas women will find fat accumulating in their hips, butt and thighs. But while the difference may be apparent, the

Recently there has been much press about a relatively new treatment, Zerona.Unfortunately, the vast majority of this press is centered around false information, misleading marketing, and extremely questionable research and studies. First and foremost is the gross misunderstanding that Zerona is a cellulite treatment. This is false. Even according to Zerona, the treatment is, "a new non-invasive

Lately, America seems to be consumed with the idea of DIY, or Do It Yourself. With the advent of YouTube especially it is getting increasingly easier and easier to learn skills, hobbies, crafts, tricks, and trades online. Unfortunately, it seems- things have gone too far. In an article published on MedicalSpaMD, they relay a story aired on ABC's 20/20 about a short-lived online company who was

Recently there has been an outrageous amount of contempt, fear, hatred, and confusion surrounding the common preservatives found in cosmetics, better known as parabens.We personally, have had clients refuse and return certain items after learning they contained such parabens. Their fear?Cancer. Although this controversy did stem from scientific research, the facts, the bigger picture, and more

SkinInc Magazine recently published an article about how distorted our views and portrayals of beauty have become in today's society.  "Many magazines, billboards, and advertisements falsely portray cultural icons by 'doctoring' images that are viewed by the public," says Brian S.

Since we welcomed Botox to the Refresh family, we have heard so many things about this wonder product. Some farfetched, some outright inane. But there is one rumor that may change your life.

One of my favorite columns on the New York Times is called "Really?" by Anahad O'Connor. It debunks common myths and sets the facts straight on everything from wives tales to doctor's orders.

Our newest facial, the Refresh and Renew Signature Facial, uses the power and wonder of Bio-Serum, which is chock full (literally) of stem cell proteins, combined with LED Red Light Therapy to give you the absolute best anti-aging treatment without going under the knife! This month in Day Spa Magazine, they

New Year, New You! Unwanted tattoo??! In today's New Year, New You!, we will be focusing on Laser Tattoo Removal. Statistics say that 24% of Americans have at least one tattoo and that 17% of those tattooed, regret it. After some simple math, that tells us that there are about: 12, 587, 722 (yes, that is: twelve million, five hundred eighty-seven thousand, seven hundred twenty-two) people in

SkinInc.com posted an article yesterday that I think is of utmost importance, especially to those of us living in the Colorado Rockies: The Skin Cancer Foundation is urging people to continue protecting their skin from harsh UV rays even in the colder temperatures of Winter. If you're like many people, you slather on sunscreen during hot summer days, then in winter, not so much. Short, cold

SkinInc.com, one of our favorite resources for staying up-to-date on the latest in skin care and aesthetics, recently published an article about the most essential ingredients for anti-aging skin care. We couldn't agree more with their choices: "In earlier days, skin care products were selected by features and benefits that were blasted from ads and labels, using words suck as 'softens,'

In this installment of New Year, New You!, our SmoothShapes Cellulite Treatment is the star. As women, 85-98% of us suffer from this condition!! For years it was thought that cellulite occurred primarily due to obesity, excessive weight gain, lack of exercise and poor diet, but in actuality, this is not the case. The formation of cellulite is due to several genetic and physical factors that

The newest addition to the Refresh Laser Spa shelves, Vital Therapy, is a wonderful line of local products that we can't get enough of! Packed with only the best and necessary ingredients for your skin, Vital Therapy owner Ted Keller says, "{Vital Therapy products} are the finest, least toxic skin nutrients found on the market at a price that is reasonable." And we couldn't agree more. Some of

Fine print reads: SmoothShapes is another cellulite-fighting treatment, and one of the newest ones too. It relies on Photomology, a combination of laser and light energy coupled with rollers and vacuum suction to target cellulite at the source. Furing each of the eight pain-free treatments, enlarged fat cells are liquefied and collagen is regenerated to improve the skin's texture. Well put, New

We LOVE the new Let Me Be Clear Primer from Colore Science, and we are certainly not alone! This is what New Beauty Magazine had to say today: If there's anyone reluctant to use foundation primer, surely it's those with acne-prone skin. Just the thought of a smothering an extra layer can make a person break out. It's rather unfortunate, since many primers provide such a

In July of this year, ColoreScience launched their Sunforgettable SPF 30 Eyescreen, yet another way protection is made pretty.  Kimberly has been using {and swearing by} the EyeScreen since we received it. It has done wonders for not only covering the dark spotsand circles under her eyes {hyper-pigmentation}, but also reversing it! Not that I was skeptical because I, too, swear by the

After such a beautiful Colorado Summer, chances are excellent that most of our skin resembles {or feels like} the autumn leaves that have recently peppered our sidewalks. Now is the perfect time to repair the previous season's damage as well as prepare for the current and upcoming seasons. Autumn typically begins the repairative season; due the influx of sun damage, discoloration and brown

Yesterday a conversation arose here at the Spa about poor skin care hygiene and its detriment. All too often we see clients (especially women) who come to us looking for instant, one-time, no-hassle solutions for their skin's problems. Unfortunately, even with the best treatments on the market, your results will never be maintained if you suffer from poor skin care hygiene. The first step in

Now that Summer is officially over, it is time to assess the damage. After frolicking in the beautiful Colorado sunshine all Summer, our skin is certainly worse for the wear. Even with proper sunscreen, we can still find ourselves with age spots, dark or brown spots, or any other sign of sun damage.  For this, and any other hyper-pigmentation (including melasma), we recommend NeoCutis Blanche

As the Summer of 2009 rounds to a close, it is important that we address the dangers of Sun Damage, as well as what can be done to not only reverse the damage but instill better habits for the future. Living in Colorado, we have countless excuses to spend excessive amounts of time in the sun {biking, camping, gardening, pedestrian malls, the kids' ball game, etc}. Unfortunately, with all of these

In addition to getting enough rest and eating a well-balanced diet high in anti-oxidants, you must have a daily skin care regimen that addresses your particular anti-aging needs. As we age, our skin can manifest a variety of symptoms that need to be addresses or our skin tissues will begin to degenerate, sometimes quite rapidly. One of the main issues in combating the effects of aging on your

What you put into your body has a direct effect on how you feel and on your overall health.  It also has an effect on your skin and complexion. Anti-oxidants fight free radicals. Free radicals can come from a variety of external and internal stresses; from pollution, to junk food, to stress. If we don't have anti-oxidants on board to battle the free radicals, our skin will break down and
