Technology changes how we do things. Technology can make things easier to do and make the things we do more effective. In the world of skincare and aesthetics, technology breakthroughs have given us skincare products to hydrate, rejuvenate, and resurface the top layers of the skin. Skincare science has also shown us the advantage of using concentrated energy to penetrate and disrupt the deeper layers of the skin triggering the skin’s own healing mechanism, collagen and elastin production, and natural cell regeneration. Here at Just Smooth It, we believe in using technology to promote the most effective skincare treatments available in the market.
Our Le Mieux line of skincare products were developed using technology to improve the effectiveness of every product offered. One of the biggest differences in the Le Mieux line-up is the use of highly effective Hyaluronic Acid as the base ingredient instead of water. Our customers don’t pay for a container primarily filled with water! In the words of Janel Luu, founder of Le Mieux Skincare, “Never be satisfied with yesterday’s technology.” Ms Luu also believes that “every drop of a skincare product should make a difference.” Just Smooth It offers many luxury facial options and our signature facials include at least one technology modality to boost the hydration, rejuvenation, and age-defying results that most of our clients are looking for. Our technology treatments include:

Microneedling is a procedure that utilizes tiny needles to “prick” the skin. This is normally a generalized application for the whole face. The tiny pricks in the skin will break down damaged skin in both the epidermis and the dermis layers. These little micro injuries trigger the skin’s own natural healing process of increased collagen and new cell production.
At Just Smooth It, we use a state of the art microneedling Dermapen which is outfitted with 12 micro-needles. The technology of the Dermapen assures clients the safest and most accurate treatment possible. On its own, microneedling can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduce pore size, smooth minor scarring, and even skin tone. When microneedling is combined with a PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) application, the regeneration of the skin is even more dramatic and the healing process is even FASTER! See our article about the benefits of PRF here. Microneedling is a non-invasive, relatively painless procedure and it uses no harsh chemicals. In our clinic microneedling is a key part of our most comprehensive package which includes laser treatment and PRF application. Our microneedling treatment starts with the application of a facial numbing cream to ensure client is completely comfortable. Then the microneedling application is performed on the face, followed by the application of the PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) Our treatment also includes a soothing light therapy session at the end of the session to encourage healing, soothe and calm the skin after the treatment. Clients can expect some redness or irritation after a microneedling session which will go away after a few days. The PRF treatment helps to make the recovery time even faster. Clients are advised to stay out of the sun for a while after the treatment. The skin will be very sensitive and use of sunscreens can be harmful at first due to the chemicals they contain. Just give your skin a sun-free, make-up free few days to allow your skin to heal. Our skin care technician will recommend the best after care for you. Many clients see visible results right away but the full regenerative effects will be seen continuously over 10 days or more. Similarly, many clients see great results after one treatment, but the most dramatic results are seen when clients receive 3 treatments one month apart. And just like a good physical fitness program, a maintenance visit every 6 months is suggested.

Snoring can rob you of precious sleep. According to health experts, long term sleep deprivation can lead to some serious health issues including:
Snoring and sleep apnea are signs that you are not getting enough oxygen. This can be caused by an obstructed in the upper airway. This happens when the muscles in the upper throat relax and the interior tissues close in to block the airway. Treatment to reduce snoring can involve fitting for a mechanical breathing device which can be noisy and uncomfortable. Dental appliances designed to hold the mouth and jaw in a position to improve he airway opening can also be prescribed. The can also be uncomfortable for the patient. And let’s face it, neither of these appliance-type treatments are going to improve sex appeal. In extreme cases, treatment can require surgery, which can be risky and many times does not work after the procedure is complete. But there is a non-surgical solution that does not require an appliance. Just Smooth It NightLaseTM treatment uses focused laser beam to open the airway by reducing excess tissue and tightening underlying muscle. It is a non-invasive, relatively painless procedure done in our facility by our doctor and certified staff, and the recovery time is quick. Normal treatment requires 3 treatments one month apart, but most patients see a reduction in snoring after the first treatment. To learn more about NightLaseTM , you can schedule a free consultation by calling us at 352-596-1771. Give yourself and your sleep partner a better night’s sleep! 2/10/2021 0 Comments What Exactly is PRF?PRF stands for Platelet Rich Fibrin. Platelets are the tiny blood cells that help your body form clots and heal damaged cells. Fibrin is an insoluble protein that also aids in the body’s healing process. PRF treatments have become very popular in facial aesthetics… And for good reason!
So how does it work? PRF is harvested from a draw of the patient’s own blood in a licensed clinician office. The blood is immediately “spun” on a centrifuge to separate the blood platelets, fibrin, and white blood cells from other blood components, such as red blood cells. After preparation, the PRF solution is applied either by injection or as a topical application. Injections can be effective in the eye hollows, cheeks, and lip areas where the skin has lost some of its plumpness or where deep wrinkles have formed in the forehead or laugh lines around the mouth. PRF solution can be applied topically to general areas of the face, neck, chest and are most effective when used after laser and/or microneedling treatments. This is because the laser and microneedling treatments breakdown damaged skin which triggers the skin’s healing process and production of collagen. The PRF treatment encourages this healing and speeds up the process. Unlike other treatments that involve chemicals or bio toxins, PRF is a completely natural solution. PRF will speed healing, increase collagen production and improve tone and elasticity in the skin. PRF is the “TWO” In the ONE-TWO punch to fight the aging process. PRF treatments encourage a continual and steady release of healing and growth factors immediately and over the ten plus days following treatment. PRF application in concert with laser and microneedling is a great way to improve skin's tone, texture, and overall appearance to fight the signs of aging. The effects can be quite dramatic. And for those of you who are just starting to see the signs of aging when you look in the mirror, now is the best time to start this type of treatment. If you start early to prevent the signs of aging and reverse the damaging effects of the sun, you can prolong a glowing youthful appearance for many years. At Just Smooth It, we include PRF in our full face treatment package. The package includes Laser treatment of the face, eye area, lip area and a microneedling treatment with PRF injecttions and topical application, depending on the client’s specific skin needs. For more information, a consultation is recommended and we will provide complimentary. Just call us at 352-596-1771 to schedule. 10/21/2020 0 Comments Smoking and Your Skin...
