Dallas Med Spa News & Evanesque Skin Beauty Blog

Archive for June, 2010

Hey! It’s Neil again. June is almost over and every year it seems summer passes more quickly. I received a great response from my last article, and before the summer is out, I thought I would share with you some cool places for Dallas summer fun during the hottest months of the year. If you’re an up-and-coming Dallasite, or even older and married, most of these places are fun for the whole family.

1. White Rock Lake – Sailing, swimming, and walking around Dallas’s closest lake is a pass time some participate in more than just during our hot Dallas summers. While’s it’s cool year-round, there is something special about watching a summer sunset from a sailboat or catamaran. More info on White Rock Lake.
2. The Belmont – Saturday and Sunday from 1-5pm, throughout June & July,  The Belmont hosts a legendary The Belmont Hotel Poolpool party featuring DJ Jennifer Miller & Paul Paredes. Check out their summer calendar of events(PDF) for live music, and “Barefoot Movies” itinerary.
3. Hurricane Harbor- Although this nationally-recognized water park is actually in Arlington, it’s still considered in the Metroplex. Bought by Six Flags in 1996, this water adventure ride theme park has dozens of slides, an incredible wave pool, and an amazing lazy river. Of course, this place is highly popular with the youngsters I recommend going even if you’re 60 years-old. There is something for everyone there. See for yourself.
   
4. Pinkberry – Create your own frozen fantasy. Choose from fresh fruits, berries, nuts, chocolate, and other yogurt toppings.  It’s like Marble Slab, only it’s not ice cream and they don’t beat it up. They have several locations, but try their Uptown location.
5. Yucatan Beach Club – Volleyball, live music, pools. This place has it all. They have adult beverages and tiki huts, they do team events for offices or your local community sports teams. Learn more about the Yucatan Beach Club.

With all the benefits of spray tanning, it seems there would be no objections, with all the articles which have come out over the years about the damage that tanning beds can do. With all the innovations, even today,  there seems to be several myths surrounding spray tanning (also called sunless tanning). This article is an attempt to dispel five of the most common myths of spray tanning. Some of these have never been true, others have only become false because of the improvements in products and services of the industry.

1. Sunless spray tanning uses unnatural chemicals – False. The spray tan solution solution is mostly made from purified water which has been filtered down to a specific micron (particle) size. Also, for coloring plant sources such as beet sugar. These natural ingredients cause a natural tanning of the skin when applied at the right concentration.
2. Sunless spray tanning will turn my skin orange or yellow - False. Most high-end solutions at reputable medical spas have products which tan each subject his or her natural tan color, as if it were naturally occurring. These solutions have gotten much, much, better over the years.
3. Sunless spray tanning process requires me to be completely nude – False. Underwear, bikini or a  swimsuit,  is perfectly acceptable.
4. Sunless spray tanning will make me smell – False. Unlike many other spray on alternatives, the product Evanesque uses in their Dallas spray tan services is Bronze Biologic, which has no odor.
5. Sunless spray tanning is for women only – False. A high percentage of men get spray tanning done on a regular basis. They want to do what’s best for their skin and look their best as well.

Did you know, extra hair in unusual places has been linked to having higher than average testosterone in men?  Scalp baldness has been linked as well. Interesting little joke Mother Nature plays on us men; we can grow hair everywhere, but where we want it to grow.  If you have hair or have had hair in any of these places, you’re not alone. To be honest with you, these areas for hair removal on men are not that unusual, they are actually quite common. They are typically kept quite because men don’t feel they are acceptable areas even when joking with our buddies, and may feel embarrassed.  Seeing men come in day in and day out to get laser hair removal in our Dallas office, I can assure you, these are quite ordinary occurrences.

1. Hair on men’s cheeks- After shaving for ten-to-fifteen years, some men will start seeing a few, to a dozen, dark hairs pop up a little too far outside their beard line. They could appear in the middle of the face, or on high check bones. The girlfriend or wife might even notice on a no shave weekend and decide to start plucking away. Some men have decided to save themselves from this torture and get these pesky hairs removed forever by laser. Yes, they are random, and yes, they are annoying (not the women, the hairs ). Eradicate these little buggers.

2. Hair on the top of men’s feet- Some men might start noticing this in junior high along with athlete’s foot and underarm growth. Ever since J.R.R. Tolkien books came out and cartoons and movies were made featuring Hobbits and creatures with hairy feet, other men have found something to poke fun of on their more testosterone-filled brethren. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard men tell me this in my office. How they thought it was cool at first, but their pals wouldn’t let up. After their mothers started in on it, this was the straw that broke the camel’s back. They started to shave or use hair removal cremes (the most popular brand name rhyming with “Flair”). I won’t lie to you, since there isn’t much fat on men’s feet, you should probably plan to come a little early and get the numbing gel. The laser stings just a little, but it’s worth it not to be called “Hobbit feet.”

3. Hair on the back of men’s necks – This area effects everyman who is not completely and naturally bald. This area is less unusual,  just more of an annoyance for those men who wear their hair very short. You’re at the barber and they ask if you’d like it squared or rounded. If you’re like me, you don’t really care, but you know you’re going to have some issues in the next few days with in-grown hairs if they aren’t too gentle when trimming back there. Forget about this, take care of those “Dracula teeth.”  It will save you money if you’re always going to the barber just to “get a neck trim.”

4. Hair on the top of men’s noses – This can be as frustrating as heck for some men. This hair may appear as blackhead pimples to others, but upon further examination, it’s tiny dark hairs. If you shave it, it could come back with a raging force, if you pluck it, it could possibly do the same. Get rid of these as soon as you see them. Get them lasered  in a package deal with other undesirable places and you’ll be glad you did.

5. Hair on men’s ears – This starts in your late 20s and early 30s and continues on with age.  These hairs start getting longer and longer, appearing not only in, but on top of the cartilage of your ears. Sometimes laser hair removal can help with this, sometimes it cannot. If the hairs are clear or blond,  it’s less likely hair removal will help because there is not enough hair melanin (which gives hair its color) for the laser to latch on and do its work.

Evanesque offers laser hair removal for men in Dallas including  feet, nose, face, back, neck, and any other areas to get laser hair removal. Get 50% off one session of natural spray tanning in Dallas, by adding your cell number to Evanesque’s specials offers club located here.
