Kyle Valdez: “I’ve Never Been This Confident”

Need to boost your morale, self-confidence and dating life? LASIK can give you just that aside from perfect vision.

Take Kyle Valdez’s case. Naturally a shy person, Kyle has blossomed into something he never thought he could be — a confident young man with the sky as his limit.

“Nag-iba ‘yung aura ko talaga after LASIK! Having clear vision comes with boosted confidence rin talaga,” happily expressed Kyle, who is starting to socialize much better after his life-changing procedure.

Just in time for the holidays, Kyle is enjoying gatherings and socializing left and right more than ever.

“Now, I’m much better socially, something that I struggled with before ‘nung malabo pa mata ko and with glasses. It’s one thing I really wanted to improve on. Mas comfortable and confident ako to approach people now.”

“Aside from having bright vision now, I can also see myself from a new perspective. ‘Yun bang parang rebirth ko after LASIK. I just have this new found confidence that helps me excel in life. Thank you Shinagawa talaga. Ang sarap ‘nung feeling!”

Sometimes you don’t need a makeover. You need brighter vision for a brighter you. Have your LASIK and turn the tides like Kyle!

Ways to Prepare Your Skin for the Holidays

Ways to Prepare Your Skin for the Holidays

/0 Comments/in /by

The holiday season is all about love and cheer, but we can’t forget what cold weather, added stress and dietary changes can do to your skin.

Add in the holiday parties where it’s hard to not take eating and drinking to the extreme, and even your skin will start to rebel.

To make sure your skin stays in the best shape for the holiday season, we’re here to offer some ways you can prepare for the yuletide season ahead.

  1. Bulk up the Hydration

As the cooler temperatures roll in, it’s time to bring out the super hydrating products and add a thicker moisturizer to your skin regimen. While you’re ramping up the moisturizing game, be sure to pay attention to how your skin starts to react.

Also, adding a Vitamin C serum can help brighten and diminish any hyperpigmentation spots the summer sun may have caused. And don’t forget the delicate eye area – be sure to introduce a moisturizing eye cream to keep those peepers pampered!

Staying hydrated from the inside-out should be a priority all seasons as well, so make sure to drink enough water to keep your skin glowing year-round.

  1. Reduce Exfoliation

With the drier weather comes the dreaded drier skin. Exfoliation is a key component to containing any dead skin buildup, but you must proceed with caution.

You can exfoliate, but you want to be careful not to over-exfoliate, because you could be doing your skin a disservice and doing the opposite of what your skin really needs.

  1. Polishing Peels

The holiday season is a key time to indulge in any treatments you regrettably had to avoid during the sunny summer months. Treatments like the Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser, which combines two-hybrid fractional lasers to take years of damage off the skin (with less downtime than traditional laser treatments); an IPL treatment which uses broadband light to alleviate sun and age spot damage; and Microneedling, which uses small needles to prick the skin and generate new collagen and skin tissue.

All are great options to give your skin the regular polishing it needs to really glisten.

To get the most out of your luminous look, we recommend doing these procedures two weeks before any major event or an upcoming holiday.

  1. Keep Using Sunscreen

A big mistake we see people make is decreasing the use of sunscreen as the winter months roll around. Don’t let the cooler days fool you! The sun is still throwing down damaging UVA and UVB rays, and the skin is still absorbing it.

We always recommend using a separate sunscreen and not relying on what’s solely in your moisturizer or makeup. That is never strong enough!

  1. Our Experienced Medical Professionals Can Help

If your daily skincare routine could use some Holiday inspiration, our Medical Professionals at Shinagawa Aesthetics can help give it a boost.

We can provide the treatments, tips, and tricks needed to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

Giving the Gift of Sight this Holiday Season

Giving the Gift of Sight this Holiday Season

/0 Comments/in /by

Can you believe it’s actually December already? Neither could we! It seemed like 2023 came by so quickly.

Since December is here, that means it’s the holiday season and for sure, you’re thinking about the best possible gift you can give people around you.

This year as you think about unique Christmas gifts for a loved one, don’t limit yourself to items that come from a store. 

In fact, one of the best holiday wish list ideas and best last-minute Christmas gifts is clear vision! So this year, why not give a loved one the gift of LASIK! 

Here are some reasons to consider it:

  1. It’s something that will positively affect them for the rest of their lives. 

There are few gifts you can give that will be used every single day and will benefit your recipient every day too. But LASIK is truly a gift that keeps on giving. Whether it’s for your very athletic spouse who has been wanting great vision without the hassle of contacts and glasses, or for your best friend who seems to have everything (except good eyesight), laser eye surgery will improve their quality of life from here forward.

  1. It’s one of the most unique and memorable gifts you can give. 

It can be challenging to find unique Christmas gifts for your wife, husband or other loved one, especially when you’ve known them for a long time. Pots and pans? Did that. Clothing? Did that. A massage? Did that, also. But laser eye surgery? There are few people who can say they’ve given – or received – that as a holiday gift! You’ll not only surprise the recipient of your gift, but you’ll also show them how much you care about them and their wellbeing. And you can be sure they won’t forget this gift anytime soon!

  1. It’s more affordable now than ever. 

The thought of giving LASIK as a gift might have been crazy some time ago, but it’s become increasingly affordable over the years. Although still an investment, there are many people who can pay for LASIK in cash today. And for those who can’t, there are many financing options available.

 

Depending on your loved one’s eye health, vision and additional factors, they may benefit from one of several types of LASIK. The best bet is to encourage them to get a consultation and surprise them with the gift of paying for it once they have the logistics worked out. Or, if the cost will prevent them from wanting to go through with a consultation, you can always tell them your gift early. 

Either way, it’s sure to make for a fun and surprising present to remember! 

You can contact us to schedule an appointment for them any time.

Does Sunscreen Prevent Tanning

Does Sunscreen Prevent Tanning?

/0 Comments/in /by

There’s no better feeling than coming off the beach after a day spent basking in the sun. Your hair has that natural beach wave to it and your skin is sun kissed. The tan you get after a day in the sun is like none other.

That is, until that tan turns into a sunburn and that sunburn turns into permanent skin damage. Yikes. Tanning isn’t all that it’s made out to be. Tanning can seriously damage your skin, which is why it’s so important to put on sunscreen every single day.

But how much sunscreen should you apply? And does sunscreen prevent tanning? In order to keep your skin healthy and glowing, it’s important to know how sunscreen works and how it affects your ability to tan.

Sunscreen works like a shield for your skin. It blocks out UV rays before they can reach your skin. Wearing sunscreen is the best way to protect your skin from sunburn and skin cancer, as well as skin aging and wrinkles that can also come from sun exposure.

But while sunscreen does a great job protecting your skin from harmful UV rays, it also affects your ability to tan. Sunscreen protects your skin, but you can still achieve a tan to some degree. It just won’t be as dark as if you didn’t wear any sunscreen. However, it should be more a concern that you’re protecting your skin from harmful UV rays than it is that you’re getting bronzed. You can still achieve that sun kissed look, while still protecting you from sun damage.

So, does sunscreen prevent you from tanning? Essentially, the answer is yes. But if you’re asking “does sunscreen prevent tanning at all?” The answer is no. That’s because it doesn’t protect you 100%. Sunscreen acts like a shield for your skin, but that doesn’t mean it’s impenetrable. UV rays can still reach your skin and cause a tan, even when you’re wearing plenty of sunscreen.

In order for your skin to be effectively protected from UV rays, you have to apply your sunscreen correctly, reapply it often, and wear a high enough SPF. Even SPF 100 only blocks 99% of UVB rays. So basically, it’s virtually impossible to achieve total and complete protection from the sun. There’s always a risk of sun exposure, which is why putting on sunscreen every day is so important.

Any amount of tan is technically considered sun damage, so the goal of sunscreen is to actually prevent you from getting a tan. Fortunately, there are other ways to achieve that golden glow that don’t involve damaging your skin.
