Now a body wrap is more likely to be a treatment where you’re slathered with a body mask made of algae, seaweed, mud, clay, lotion or cream, then wrapped for 20 minutes to keep you warm. Later the mask is rinsed off. The body wrap usually ends with application of lotion. This treatment is sometimes called a body cocoon or body mask. What are the benefits of a Body Wrap? Body wraps that use algae, seaweed, mud or clay are detox treatments that help rid the body of toxins through metabolic stimulation. Body wraps using shea butter and rich lotions are hydrating treatments geared towards softening the skin.

Lyn@sk-sanctuary.com What is a Body Wrap? DOUG KENNEDY, LEAD MASSAGE THERAPIST Dear Friends- With love, SPRING 2006 Tuesday May 9th 5pm 2nd Annual “Dancing with the Sun?” Luau Skin Cancer Awareness What happens during a Body Wrap? At SK Sanctuary your body wrap may begin with an exfoliating salt scrub. You will lie down on mylar or linen sheets depending on the type of wrap you will be having. Once the product is applied, you are wrapped to stay warm, usually for 20 minutes. The therapist will stay in the room to give you a scalp or facial massage. Next, you are unwrapped and the mud or mask is removed. The therapist will rinse you off with a special Vichy shower that feels absolutely fabulous. It’s like taking a shower lying down. Finally, an application of our Satin lotion will moisturize your skin. Try one of our luxurious wraps like “Wallow in the Mud”, “It’s a Wrap”, or “Cocktails Anyone?” Don’t expect a body wrap to be a massage. You can get both treatments – body wrap and massage – or look for our SK Signature treatments that include scrub, body wrap and massage. Stephen M.

Even if you just desire a sleeker, hair-free appearance, laser hair removal may be the option for you. In the past, the remedies for unwanted hair included shaving, waxing, tweezing, electrolysis and depilatory use. Some were painful, some were messy, and all were temporary answers to a never-ending battle. SK Sanctuary is pleased to offer the gold standard in laser hair removal, the LightSheer™ diode laser, a gentle, non-invasive, longlasting solution for unwanted hair on all body parts and any skin type, including ethnic and dark complexions. Moreover, LightSheer laser hair removal has been proven to create a permanent reduction in the number of regrowing hairs following each treatment. The LightSheer laser gently cools the surface of the skin while pulses of light are selectively absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles. KATHY SPENCER, R.N. The absorbed light heats the hair structures, which damages the existing hair and destroys the regrowth potential of the follicle - all without damaging the surrounding normal tissue. Clinical studies have shown that hair may not grow back for up to a year or more in some cases. If the hair does return, it usually comes back lighter and less dense. The flexible settings of the LightSheer allow us to customize hair removal treatment according to the particular body area to be treated and hair and skin type of the individual patient for the safest and best possible results. This procedure is fast, and there are few, if any, side effects. However, because hair grows in stages, multiple treatments are usually required to achieve optimal results. LightSheer hair removal is safe, effective and permanently reduces unwanted hair. The procedure is tolerated well and can be performed in the convenience of the SK Sanctuary spa. Patients can typically return to work and resume all regular activities. TIPS FROM OUR LASER DEPARTMENT 1. Begin laser assisted Hair Removal now to be bikini ready for the summer. 6. Embarrassed by red cheeks after one glass of wine? Try IPL treatments. 2. Strapless wedding gown? Try laser assisted Hair Removal for underarms. 7. Discouraged by monthly breakouts? Seek ALA/PDT. 3. Traveling? Pack one less item…Schedule Laser Hair Removal for legs, underarms, etc… and skip the razor. 4. Have routine skin checks to prevent skin cancers. 5. Schedule ALA/PDT to treat pre-cancerous cells each winter or spring. 8. Want rejuvenation now but don’t want the full surgical solution? Try Fraxell Laser to tighten skin, promote collagen and eliminate the brown spots from melasma and sun damage. For more information on these innovative treatments or to schedule an initial consultation with Kathy Spencer, R.N., please call SK Sanctuary at 858-459-2400 or SK Clinic at 858-454-3161. Bio-Restorative Skin Creams get ready now for spring and summer STEPHEN M. KRANT, M.D. F.A.C.S., MEDICAL DIRECTOR Prepare to show more youthful and radiant skin Neocutis Skin Creams with PSP bring the latest scientific breakthroughs to the anti-aging skin care market. This innovative skin cream improves skin texture and tone while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition it will diminish the signs of sun damage and age spots and improves the appearance of firmness. The eye cream is amazing as it reduces dark circles, smoothes fine lines and wrinkles, reduces puffiness and refreshes fragile skin. Through years of research, physicians discovered fetal skin has a unique ability to heal wounds without scarring. Medical researchers at the University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland created a biotechnology process to extract the rich proteins responsible for scarless wound healing from cultured fetal skin cells. A dedicated cell bank was established for developing new skin treatments using a single biopsy of fetal skin. Originally established for wound healing and burn treatments, this cell bank provides a lasting supply of cells for producing Neocutis proprietary skin care ingredients “Processed Skin Cell Proteins (PSP™). Not only does our Laser department at SK recommend this product to our post laser clients, our aesthetician’s support incorporating this product into many of their facial treatments and recommend it for home treatment. BOBBI HAMILTON, LEAD MEDICAL AESTHETICIAN SK Sanctuary is proud to introduce the revolutionary PCA Professional Smoothing Body Peel Treatment. This innovative body treatment is formulated to smooth, firm and hydrate while simultaneously evening skin discoloration. First, our therapist will apply the Pre-Peel Mask which is specially formulated to rehydrate the epidermis and the Pre-Peel Accelerator will create a more accepting environment for peel application and will accelerate the treatment results.
