Even as a youngster, Carole loved new, fresh and pretty things.  She relished keeping her room, clothes, shoes and appearance as neat and attractive as possible. It was inevitable that she would  grow up wanting to make everyone and everything around her as attractive as possible. She also adores flowers and fresh fragrances that add beauty and pleasantries to her everyday environment and existence.   On my 62nd birthday, while putting on makeup with the use of my 10x magnifying mirror, it struck me how unkind Mother Nature could be.  That is when I decided to consult my personal physician, Dr. Kenyatta Shamlin, to explore how the Medical Spa could assist me in reversing some of the ravages the years had heaped on me.  The results produced by the Shamlins' professionalism, their state of the art equipment and their caring, personal attention, have made me feel fresh and attractive again.  Incredible! ~ Carole Frederickson, 62

Carole proves that anyone can look great at 62.  She is wonderful proof of what the 3D Rejuvenation Package can do for you.

We all know that people age at different rates and in different ways.  Some develop redness, age or suns spots.  Others have large pores, fine lines, wrinkles or lax skin.  You may have one, two or all of these conditions.  Our 3D Rejuvenation package takes a three-tiered approach to rejuvenating your skin for all of these conditions.

LIMELIGHT FACIAL AND PHOTOGENESIS are light-based procedures which address problems right at the skin’s surface such as redness, mottled complexions, freckles and sun damage.

LASER GENESIS utilizes a laser to soften fine lines and wrinkles, shrink pores and decrease or eliminate redness found deeper in the epidermis.  Laser Genesis has been proven to stimulate the creation of new collagen, giving your face a smoother, more youthful appearance.

TITAN is the newest category for skin fitness.  The Titan uses infrared light to heat tissue in the deep dermis.
Men and women, of any age, who wish to improve their skin, can be treated. Skin that is lax has surface wrinkles, redness, brown spots, or enlarged pores are the most common conditions to treat.

Although the face and neck are the most popular areas for this kind of treatment; other body parts such as the hands, arms, and abdomen can also treated.

As for any side effects, the most common is a slight redness or mild swelling in the treated area that disappears within a few hours.  Some patients see immediate results. However, you will typically see results in two to four weeks, with improvements continuing on for several months.

Our makeup is unique it comes in 3 different formulas –loose powder, pressed minerals and a liquid mineral foundation. The 3 different formulas give you a range of coverage from natural and lightweight to complete camouflaged coverage.   It is important to complete your look with mineral makeup to look and feel, especially after correcting any prior skin problems.

Although Young Blood and Glo Mineral Makeup cover imperfections perfectly, they allow the skin to breathe”.   Mineral makeup gives your skin a natural youthful “glow”, without a “made up” look.   Our mineral makeup is ideal for women of all skin types, tones and ages. Our products are free of chemicals such as preservatives, talc, oil, fragrance, dyes and alcohol.  Unlike traditional makeup, they are non-comedongenic, so it won’t clog pores and aggravate any acne condition. Most importantly, our mineral makeup contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, so that means that they have anti-inflammatory properties that calm inflamed skin problems such as acne and rosacea.

I constantly remind clients that, although mineral makeup (as well as traditional makeup) contains a natural SPF, it does not give enough sun protection.  It is better than using nothing but I always remind my patients to use a regular cream sunscreen under their makeup and then use the mineral foundation as an extra boost.

It is well known that my favorite motto is “Your makeup only looks as good as the skin it sits on”.  Please call The Medical Spa of Baton Rouge for a complimentary consultation on how to perfect and clarify your skin foundation and receive a complimentary makeup application during the month of July. We also offer individual makeup sessions for the novice or those wanting to perfect their skills.
