Summer is Coming
As we head into the middle of April, summer is almost upon us and it’s time to discuss the Modrn Sanctuary’s Beauty Suite options that can help you get beach ready!
It’s important for Modrn to first start by saying we are a body positive company. Everybody and every body is beautiful. We think you are perfect just the way you are. However, we also understand wanting to feel better in your skin and that is why we have a few treatments that are here to support you in your mission.
But first, a few things to consider
There are no magic bullets.
It’s also important to remember that there are no magic bullets out there when it comes to body contouring. I suppose liposuction comes close, but even that has its down sides. So as you read, please keep in mind that everything is cumulative. But, what does that mean? It means that all actions and subsequent treatments lead to better results. Working out, drinking lots of water, eating well all help to enhance your results. And please, remember- one session is great, but most treatments have a protocol to help you get your best results.
Consider your options - a personal story
At Modrn, I believe in setting realistic expectations. This way you can make an educated decision about your options.
One thing that surprised me when I was working to tackle my double chin was that I had heard a lot of great things about Kybella, which is an injection you get that can help reduce fat. The cost of Kybella was about $1000 per treatment and requires about 1-3+ treatments. It causes swelling and is very site specific. Meaning, the area targeted for that $1000 was specific to right under my chin and wouldn’t address the neck area if need. It also had a chance of not working too! After speaking to a plastic surgeon friend of mine, he recommended liposuction, which blew my mind, and was never something I had considered. EEK! SCARY! After speaking to him I learned that treating the double chin AND full neck area would run anywhere from $1500-3000 pending where I went. The results would be immediate, long lasting and have minimal bruising and swelling. The idea is still scary to me, but I wondered by everyone didn’t elect liposuction based on the cost comparison and end results promised.
The point of my story is:
A business will always offer you the services they have. We have them because we believe in them and they are within the scope of what we can offer. We have seen them work. But, for example, Modrn Sanctuary is NOT a Medspa nor are we Plastic Surgeons. So if you are looking for more invasive or injectable service, we recommend you research what other people are offering that can accomplish your goals and choose the right one for you based on:
The time you are willing to commit to seeing results
The cost per treatment
What realistic results look like after your initial investment.
TAKEAWAY: Know before you go AND set realistic expectation so you aren’t disappointed.
This is our magic wand. It’s called Cryoskin.
Cryo- comes from the greek word meaning icy cold or frost. But don’t worry, this treatment doesn’t hurt like when you are in the cold for too long, because we use a protective gel that keeps the skin from burning at temperatures around -4 degrees celsius. BURRRRR!
Ok great so its cold…I can rub an ice cube on myself from home for $0. Convince me further please. This patented technology works in two different formats to help the body contour:
1) Cryoskin Slimming
2) Cryoskin Toning
Let’s break them apart and discuss:
Cryoskin Slimming
While its been compared to Coolsculpting due to its fat freezing abilities, Cryoskin is significantly less painful. In fact it feels like a kneeding massage with the wand. The goal of cryoslimming is to first, heat the fat cells to 40 degrees celsius and then shock them with extreme cold. This shock results in a percentage of your fat cells going through cellular apoptosis.
Cellular wha????? A cell that undergoes apoptosis dies neatly, without damaging its neighbors. The cell shrinks and condenses. The cytoskeleton collapses, the nuclear envelope disassembles, and the nuclear DNA breaks up into fragments. And then the cells are removed from the body through the lymphatic system.
OHHHHHH, is this why you recommend lymphatic drainage with it? YUP! Adding a lymphatic drainage series will help the cells be removed, optimize your lymphatic system, AND help you drop inches too.
How many sessions: This depends on your goals, but we recommend starting with 3-5 to start and see what you think.
What can I expect: Expect to lose inches over a series. But remember in each session, you are reducing only a small percentage each time. Thats why we do a series. Results can take time to be seen 2 weeks and peaking 3 months. This is because your cells and body are going through a process. Be patient! Just cause you worked out doesn’t mean you will have ripped abs tomorrow. Give your body time to respond. Also, this is NOT liposuction. It will not remove all of your fat. Well, maybe it would if you did it A LOT, but we wouldn’t treat you at that point!
Lets Look at Some Results
Great results from our friends at TrimStudio. This series of 8 has brought down the clients hips and ab circumference almost 2 inches to provide a more slim and narrowed look.
Great results from our friends Chill + Heal! This treatment really helped to remove the layer of fat that was on top of the muscles to reveal his 6 pack!
Cryoskin Toning
Not everyone is looking to lose inches. Sometimes the issues that bug us lie in that naturally occurring appearance of cellulite. Its tough to improve through exercise alone, and Cryoskin Toning is up for the job!
The goal with Cryoskin Toning is to create microcirculation within the body through the application of cold temperatures to tighten, smooth, and shape areas lacking elasticity. This increase in oxygenated blood flow causes an alternating vasoconstriction, or the narrowing of the blood vessels, and vasodilation, or the widening of the blood vessels. End results? Smooth appearance of cellulite. Our goal isn’t to shock the cells in this case. Not only does this treatment feel relaxing, the results look great!
We love this treatment before heading to the beach for the weekend or a night out!
