Happy International Self-Care Day

Here’s your reminder:
You don’t have to earn rest.

You don’t have to justify taking a break.

And you don’t have to wait until you’re completely burned out to take care of yourself.

Self-care can be as simple as:

✔️ Going for a walk
✔️ Taking a nap
✔️ Dancing to your favorite song
✔️ Spending time with people you love
✔️ Putting your phone on DND

Today is a good day to check in with yourself and ask

“What do I need right now?”

Reflecting during my short break, I have thought so much about all of the relationships I have & what I love about them.

I love people who challenge me to grow, celebrate wins without comparison, speak the truth even when it’s uncomfortable, keep their word, show up consistently in my life, and whose character inspires mine.

The people closest to you shape your life by influencing your perspective, your confidence, your habits, and your other relationships. Choose wisely. And when you do, show them how much you care about them every day!

I love my people so much and I hope they know!!

Stepping away to reset my mind, breathe, align my goals, and prioritize my time gave me the clarity I needed to build a schedule that makes sense to me, my team, and you, my patients and mentees.

I will be available weekly for
(20) hours of hands-on patient care
The remaining time will be spent on MĒLA + LUMA + Elevating Aesthetics Admin.

And monthly for
(4) hours of mentoring Patreon
(4) hours of podcast filming
(6) hours of private or corporate training
(1) Method class

I have worked 60-70 hours/ week for the last few years.

With my husband being home only every other week, it put an additional parenting workload on my plate. Thankfully, he is super dad/ husband when he is home (cooking, cleaning, shopping) which allowed me to work to the level I was!

Ande is going into middle school & I want the time to be more present in the late afternoons at home and school for his extracurricular activities. I will also be closing my books in June/July for the next 6 summers while I have him home🥹

My grandma has also declined significantly in the last year which has been hard to endure. She raised me from the time I was 10 and has been like a 2nd mother to me. Knowing her time here on earth is limited is just another reason I need more time for relationships right now.

I transitioned my previous phone to my work phone & it stays in my car outside of business hours with my social media, 1000s of contacts, & constant email notifications. The “burner phone” has been the best thing for my nervous system. I have 30 contacts, an electronic journal, & of course my Google spreadsheet calendar 😅

MĒLA, our patients, & the team are one of the biggest reasons I’m excited to wake up everyday. Being able to step away for an extended time & watch them excel from behind the scenes makes me emotional & proud!

While I know I do not need to share all of these things, I have always been transparent in hopes that it motivates you to be authentic, utilize self reflection, and work hard for whatever it is you’re wanting your life to look like.

Reflect & accept what you really want and need in this exact moment & put your focus on it.

Choosing the right laser is about more than just treating the skin. It’s about matching the treatment to the patient’s goals and downtime.

This patient was concerned with sun damage, texture, and collagen loss. While CoolPeel would have provided some improvement in pigment and skin brightness, she was able to accommodate more downtime, making her a great candidate for a deeper DEKA CO2 treatment.

DEKA allows us to target deeper sun damage, stimulate more collagen production, and create greater improvement in overall skin texture and quality.

Once the deeper treatment was complete, I switched to CoolPeel to blend the treatment edges and create a smooth transition down to the collarbone. This helps ensure a natural, seamless result without any obvious lines of demarcation.

The best laser treatments aren’t one-size-fits-all. They’re customized based on your skin concerns, goals, and lifestyle.

Non-surgical BBL transformation! For her treatment, we used a combination of Sculptra, Radiesse, and hyaluronic acid filler. Each product has a different role, which allows us to customize the treatment based on the patient's anatomy and goals.

It is important that your provider understands your treatment goals— are you looking for volume versus purely skin quality improvement? The amount of diluent (saline to thin out product) used during your BBL can make it look amazing on treatment day & left desiring more two weeks later. The best ratio in my experience is 1:1 (1 cc of saline to 1 cc of filler/radiesse, for the very best long term volumizing)!

Book a consultation by calling our office to see if this treatment is a good option for you!

Injectors, how do you mix biostims for your non-surgical BBLs?

Tatiana was new to MĒLA and wanted overall facial rejuvenation, so we took things one step at a time. She was especially bothered by fullness under the chin, and while she may still be a candidate for liposuction in the future, adding support and projection to the chin made a huge difference in her overall facial contour.

We also recommended microneedling with PRF for acne scarring and started her on a customized skincare routine.

She’s already loving her results, and the best part is that they’ll continue to improve as the biostimulator gets to work building collagen and improving skin quality over time. Treatments performed:
• Upper face tox for a subtle brow lift and improved facial symmetry
• Cheek contouring with biostimulator + hyaluronic acid filler
• Lip filler to create better balance and proportion
• Chin filler for projection and jawline definition
