I have been in the aesthetic industry since 2015 and have had the privilege to work with Olga and her amazing team since 2016. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since joining the aesthetic industry I have found my passion for all things skin. I love learning about new technologies and products on the market to treat all skin conditions. But my favorite thing about my job is getting to make people feel beautiful and confident in their own skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am 28 years old and I want to age with grace, which means I start anti-aging treatments now. Not in 10 years when I may have deep wrinkles. I have done a variety of anti-aging treatments to prolong the aging process like; Botox, filler, IPL, chemical peels, micro needling and of course facials. When talking with people they always tell me \u201cyou are too young to be doing these treatments\u201d and my response is \u201cI want to continue to look 28, when I am 40.\u201d So here are some of my favorite treatments that I do on a regular basis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#8d106e\" class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/botox-cosmetic\/\">Why do preventative Botox? <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started Botox at 25, I did because I was starting to get\nmy \u201c11\u2019s\u201d between my eyebrows. Sure, they were not deep wrinkles or wrinkles at\nrest, but a wrinkle is a wrinkle. I wanted to take care of those wrinkles\nbefore they were deep wrinkles that I was really concerned about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#8d106e\" class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/cosmetic-fillers\/\">Fillers: <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like getting fillers in my lips. I do my lips because I have such small lips genetically. As we age, we lose the volume in our lips, which means my lips will continue to get smaller and may get fine lines and wrinkles around our lips. Instead of waiting for the day I receive my first lip wrinkle, I am preventing it with getting filler done in my lips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#8d106e\" class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/chemical-peels\/\">Why I do peels: <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only am I concerned about the anti-aging factor, but I\nstruggle with acne. Peels are the double whammy for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Acids targeting my acne, scarring, post\ninflammatory hyperpigmentation (left over from a blemish) <\/li><li>Stimulates collagen and elastin <\/li><li>Helps with cell turnover rate <\/li><li>Evens out skin tone and texture &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#8d106e\" class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/ipl-photofacial\/\">What does IPL help with: <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Targets hyperpigmentation on my skin <\/li><li>Helps with enlarged pores<\/li><li>Helps with oil production <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#8d106e\" class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/one1hosting.com\/northwestaesthetics\/microneedling\/\">Micro needling: <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Stimulates collagen and elastin in your skin <\/li><li>Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles <\/li><li>Helps tighten the skin <\/li><li>Infuses Hyaluronic Acid to plump skin <\/li><li>Great for acne scarring <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in learning more about preventative treatments and what you can do to slow down the aging process, please schedule a consultation with me.
