Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin condition of variable severity. Acne typically appears on your face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders. These areas of skin have the most hair follicles that are connected to the sebaceous glands that produce oily sebum. Acne causes one or more of the following:
- Whiteheads – bulging closed hair follicle pores clogged with bacteria, dead skin and sebum
- Blackheads – open hair follicle pores, clogged with bacteria, dead skin and sebum that turns black
- Papules – small red, tender bumps
- Pustules – pimples which are papules with pus at their tips that develop when blocked hair follicles become inflamed or infected with bacteria
- Nodules – large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface of the skin
- Cystic lesions – painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface of the skin
Although acne is a benign condition, it can affect your health in several ways including your appearance, pain and discomfort, permanent scarring, depression, anxiety, and poor self-esteem.
Who gets it?
Acne affects 85% of all adolescents and about 12% of adult women. About 50 million people in the United States have acne at any one time. Risk factors for acne include:
- Age – People of all ages can get acne, but it's most common in teenagers.
- Hormonal changes – As they occur in teenagers, and in the menstrual cycle of girls and women.
- Family history – If both parents had acne, you're more likely to get it too.
- Contact with greasy or oily substances – Acne may develop where your skin comes into contact with oily lotions and creams or with grease in a work area, such as a kitchen with fry vats.
- Friction or pressure on your skin– Contact with items such as telephones, cellphones, helmets, tight collars and backpacks.
What causes acne?
Four main factors cause acne:
- Excess sebum production
- Hair follicles clogged by sebum and dead skin cells
- Bacteria in sebaceous glands (the Proprionibacterium acnes bacterium)
- Activity of androgens, such as testosterone, a type of hormone found in both men and women that increases in adolescence and stimulates sebum production,
These factors can trigger or aggravate acne:
- Hormones – Hormonal changes related to menstruation, pregnancy and the use of oral contraceptives can affect sebum production.
- Certain medications – Examples include drugs containing corticosteroids, testosterone or lithium.
- Diet – Studies indicate that skim milk and carbohydrate-rich foods — such as bread, bagels and chips — and perhaps chocolate may worsen acne, but the evidence is weak and further study of diet is needed.
- Stress – Stress can make acne worse.
How to prevent acne
You can try to avoid or control mild acne with nonprescription products, good basic skin care and other self-care techniques:
- Wash problem areas with a gentle cleanser – Gently wash your face twice a day with a mild soap and warm water. If you tend to develop acne around your hairline, shampoo your hair every day.
- Avoid certain products – Avoid products that may irritate the skin, such as facial scrubs, astringents and masks. Excessive washing and scrubbing also can irritate the skin.
- Avoid irritants – Avoid oily or greasy cosmetics, sunscreens, hairstyling products or acne concealers. Use products labeled water-based or noncomedogenic, which means they are less likely to cause acne.
- Protect your skin from the sun – For some people, the sun worsens acne. Regularly use a non-oily (noncomedogenic) moisturizer that includes a sunscreen. And if your doctor has prescribed a tetracycline antibiotic for acne it may cause photosensitivity and you may need to stay out of the sun as much as possible.
- Avoid friction or pressure on your skin – Protect your acne-prone skin from contact with items such as phones, helmets, tight collars or straps, and backpacks.
- Avoid touching or picking at the problem areas – Doing so can trigger more acne or lead to infection or scarring.
- Shower after strenuous activities – Oil and sweat on your skin can lead to breakouts.
Treatments you can undertake yourself
To treat mild to moderate acne or periodic breakouts, many over-the-counter (OTC) acne products are available without a doctor’s prescription. They include cleansing lotions, gels, foams and towelettes, leave-on products, and treatments or kits.
The Food and Drug Administration warns that some popular OTC acne products can cause a serious reaction. This type of reaction is quite rare, it is not the redness, irritation or itchiness that may occur where you've applied such products. Seek emergency medical help if after using a skin product if you experience difficulty breathing, faintness, throat tightness and swelling of the face, lips or tongue.
Active ingredients in acne products
OTC acne products work in different ways. Some work by killing the bacteria that cause acne inflammation. Others remove excess oil from the skin or speed up the growth of new skin cells and the removal of dead skin cells. Some acne products do a combination of these things.
Here are common active ingredients found in OTC acne products and how they work to treat acne.
- Start with Benzoyl peroxide – This ingredient kills the bacteria that cause acne, helps remove excess oil from the skin and removes dead skin cells, which can clog pores. OTC benzoyl peroxide products are available in strengths from 2.5 to 10 percent. Give it a few days before expecting to see results. Check product labels for the type and amount of its active ingredient. Stronger isn't always better with benzoyl peroxide. In some cases, a 2% or 2.5% product works as well as those with stronger concentrations — and with fewer side effects. Possible side effects include dry skin, scaling, redness, burning and stinging, especially if you have sensitive skin. Be careful when applying benzoyl peroxide, as it can bleach hair and clothing.
- Alpha hydroxy acids – Two types of alpha hydroxy acids that are used in nonprescription acne products are glycolic acid and lactic acid. Alpha hydroxy acids treat acne by helping to remove dead skin cells and reduce inflammation. Alpha hydroxy acids also stimulate the growth of new, smoother skin. This helps improve the appearance of acne scars and gives the impression of smaller pores.
These are found in over-the-counter acne treatments but are not well proven to be effective:
- Salicylic acid – This ingredient helps prevent pores from becoming plugged. OTC salicylic acid products are available in strengths from 0.5 to 5 percent. Possible side effects include mild stinging and skin irritation.
- Sulfur – Sulfur removes dead skin cells that clog pores and helps remove excess oil. It's often combined with other ingredients, such as salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide or resorcinol. Products containing sulfur may cause dry skin. And some products have an unpleasant odor.
Of the various topical agents, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) considers that there is little or no evidence that these products marketed by prescription or over the counter are effective as a therapy for acne: azelaic acid, dapsone, salicylic acid, sulfur, nicotinamide, resorcinol, sodium sulfacetamide, aluminum chloride, and zinc.
Choosing an effective acne product
Acne products are just one part of a good skin care routine. When using acne products:
- Wash problem areas twice daily – Use a gentle non-soap cleanser and don't overdo it. Excessive washing and scrubbing can worsen acne.
- Try cleansing cloths or towelettes – These are gentle alternatives to cleansers and washes. Cloths with an open weave are good for dry, sensitive skin. Cloths with a tighter weave are better at removing dead skin cells.
- Consider pore-clearing adhesive pads – These products (Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips, others) are intended to remove dirt, oil and plugs from pores. You apply the strip to wet skin, let it dry and then peel it off. Further study is needed to prove their use in treating and preventing acne. Don't use them more than once every three days.
- Don't use too much – Apply just enough acne product to cover the problem areas and apply it just after cleansing the skin. Some cloths and towelettes come with benzoyl peroxide and other active ingredients in them, so you don't need to apply more product with these active ingredients after cleansing.
- Use an oil-free, water-based moisturizer – This helps alleviate dry, peeling skin.
- Avoid oily cosmetics, sunscreens and hair products – Use products labeled water-based or noncomedogenic.
- Don't pick or squeeze blemishes – Infection or scarring may result.
- Watch what touches your face – Keep your hair clean and off your face. Also avoid resting your hand or phone against the side of your face
- Don’t be too rough with your skin – Scrubbing too hard or using harsh products such as astringents and masks can worsen acne.
- Touching your face – Keep your hands, phone and hair away from your face. Too much contact can cause flare-ups.
When to see a doctor for acne care
If self-care remedies don't clear your acne, after two or three months of home treatment see your primary care doctor. He or she can prescribe stronger medications. If acne persists or is severe, you may want to seek medical treatment from dermatologist, a doctor who specializes in the care of skin. A dermatologist can help you:
- Control your acne
- Avoid scarring or other damage to your skin
- Make scars less noticeable
Acne medications work by reducing oil production, speeding up skin cell turnover, fighting bacterial infection or reducing inflammation — which helps prevent scarring. With most prescription acne drugs, you may not see results for four to eight weeks, and your skin may get worse before it gets better. It can take many months or years for your acne to clear up completely.Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of medications and other treatments you are considering.
The most common topical prescription medications for acne are as follows:
- Retinoids and retinoid-like drugs – These come as creams, gels and lotions. Retinoid drugs are derived from vitamin A and include tretinoin (Avita, Retin-A, others), adapalene (Differin) and tazarotene (Tazorac, Avage). You apply this medication in the evening, beginning with three times a week, then daily as your skin becomes used to it. It works by preventing plugging of the hair follicles.
- Antibiotics – These work by killing excess skin bacteria and reducing redness. For the first few months of treatment, you may use both a retinoid and an antibiotic, with the antibiotic applied in the morning and the retinoid in the evening. The antibiotics are often combined with benzoyl peroxide to reduce the likelihood of developing antibiotic resistance. Examples include clindamycin with benzoyl peroxide (Benzaclin, Duac, Acanya) and erythromycin with benzoyl peroxide (Benzamycin). Topical antibiotics alone aren't recommended.
- Dapsone – Dapsone (Aczone) 5 percent gel twice daily is recommended for inflammatory acne, especially in adult females with acne. Side effects include redness and dryness.
- Azelaic acid – Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring acid found in whole-grain cereals and animal products. It has antibacterial properties. A 20% azelaic acid cream seems to be as effective as many conventional acne treatments when used twice a day for at least four weeks. It's even more effective when used in combination with erythromycin. Prescription azelaic acid (Azelex, Finacea) is an option during pregnancy and while breast-feeding. Side effects include skin discoloration and minor skin irritation.
- Salicylic acid – Salicylic acid may help prevent plugged hair follicles and is available as both wash-off and leave-on products. Studies showing its effectiveness are limited.
Evidence is not strong in support of using zinc, sulfur, nicotinamide, resorcinol, sulfacetamide sodium or aluminum chloride in topical treatments for acne. Of these topical agents the American Academy of Dermatology (ADA) considers that there is evidence that dapsone 5% gel is moderately effective, azelaic acid 20% cream is mildly effective.
For moderate to severe acne, you may need oral antibiotics to reduce bacteria and fight inflammation. Usually the first choice for treating acne is tetracycline — such as minocycline or doxycycline — or a macrolide. Oral antibiotics should be used for the shortest time possible to prevent antibiotic resistance.
Oral antibiotics are best used with topical retinoids and benzoyl peroxide. Studies have found that using topical benzoyl peroxide along with oral antibiotics may reduce the risk of developing antibiotic resistance.
Antibiotics may cause side effects, such as an upset stomach and dizziness. Tetracyclines also increase your skin's sun sensitivity (photosensitivity). Severe adverse reactions to systemic antibiotics used for treating acne are rare. Doxycycline may cause photosensitivity and gastrointestinal disturbances, while minocycline may cause tinnitus, dizziness, and pigment deposit in the skin, mucous membranes, and teeth.
Combined oral contraceptives
Four combined oral contraceptives are approved by the FDA for acne therapy in women who also wish to use them for contraception. They are products that combine estrogen and progestin (Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Yaz, others). You may not see the benefit of this treatment for a few months, so using other acne medications with it the first few weeks may help.
In addition to improving acne, oral contraceptives can lessen menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding) and dysmenorrhea (pain) and reduce the formation of benign ovarian tumors. Estrogen-containing contraceptives are associated with a small increase in blood clots and may have effects on cancer risk, both positive and negative (protective effect against ovarian, colorectal, and endometrial cancers and possible increased risk of breast and cervical cancers).
The most common side effects of oral contraceptives are weight gain, breast tenderness and nausea. A serious potential complication is a slightly increased risk of blood clots.
Don't take birth control pills for acne if you:
- Are pregnant or trying to get pregnant
- Haven't reached puberty
- Are over age 35 and smoke
- Have a history of migraines, especially those with an aura
- Have high blood pressure and vascular disease
- Have a history of heart disease
- Have a history of breast cancer, undiagnosed abnormal uterine bleeding or liver disease
- Have a history of blood clots
Isotretinoin (Amnesteem, Claravis, Sotret) is a powerful drug for people whose severe acne doesn't respond to other treatments. It is very effective. But because of its potential side effects, doctors need to closely monitor anyone they treat with this drug. Isotretinoin use is associated with mucocutaneous and ophthalmic dryness and occasional musculoskeletal pain. Elevations of serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and transaminases are occasionally observed; thus, monitoring at baseline and during therapy is recommended.
Despite concerns, a causative relationship between isotretinoin use and inflammatory bowel disease or psychiatric disease (depression, anxiety, mood changes, or suicidal ideation) has not been shown. Potential side effects include ulcerative colitis, an increased risk of depression and suicide, and severe birth defects. Isotretinoin carries such serious risk of side effects that all people receiving isotretinoin must participate in a Food and Drug Administration-approved risk management program called iPLEDGE, to prevent isotretinoin exposure during pregnancy. The iPLEDGE requires a pregnancy test prior to use and use of effective contraception while taking isotretinoin.
These therapies may be suggested in select cases, either alone or in combination with medications. The American Academy of Dermatology does not consider these other therapies such as chemical peels, light therapy, and laser therapy to have been shown to be effective. And the AAD does not recommend specific dietary changes for acne management.
- Lasers and photodynamic therapy – A variety of light-based therapies have been tried with some success. But further study is needed to determine the ideal method, light source and dose.
- Chemical peel – This procedure uses repeated applications of a chemical solution, such as salicylic acid, glycolic acid or retinoic acid. This procedure has traditionally been used to lessen the appearance of fine lines, sun damage and minor facial scars. Any improvement in acne is not long lasting, so repeat treatments are usually needed.
- Extraction of whiteheads and blackheads – Your doctor may use special tools to gently remove whiteheads and blackheads (comedos) that haven't cleared up with topical medications. This technique may cause scarring.
- Steroid injection – Nodular and cystic lesions can be treated by injecting a steroid drug directly into them. This therapy has resulted in rapid improvement and decreased pain. Side effects may include thinning in the treated area.
- Anti-androgen agents – The AAD notes that evidence does not support the use of anti-androgens for the treatment of acne. However, the drugs spironolactone (Aldactone) or flutamide may be prescribed for women and adolescent girls if oral antibiotics aren't helping.
The benefits of treating acne include reducing discomfort, psychological morbidity, and scarring. The response to therapy usually occurs within 8 to 12 weeks. Topical antibiotics, retinoids and topical acne treatments can result in skin irritation, redness and dryness that may be minimized by decreasing the application frequency from daily to every other or every third day.
Topical therapy must be used continuously to maintain a satisfactory clinical response. Numerous topical vehicles are available. For acne resistant to topical management alone, combined oral contraceptives, isotretinoin, and systemic antibiotics should be considered.
Systemic antibiotics should be used for the shortest duration needed to achieve control of acne. Adherence to complicated or time-intensive regimens can be challenging, but effective acne treatment can improve associated depression, anxiety and poor self-image.

Two years ago I made the decision to stop relaxing my hair. This decision was not out of whim, I was contemplating doing so for years, trying to muster up the courage to actually stop relaxing my hair. After 17 years I finally made my decision and in June 2015 was the last time I straightened my hair.
I first relaxed my hair when I was about seven (7) years old. Everyone around me was getting rid of their kinky afros, their pajon, unmanageable hair and replacing their curly locks with “beautiful” long straight hair. Hair that did not tangle and that was easy to style. Upon seeing my cousins get their hair straightened, I wanted mine the same way. I wanted to have the same “beautiful” hair they had and it became my mission to convince my mother to allow me to relax my hair. My mother was very adamant about letting me relax my hair because I did not live with her at the moment; she recently expressed that she wanted to be able to witness such turning point of my life and ensure that my hair was not damaged.
Somehow, my convincing worked and my mother arranged it all. She had one of her good friends, who was a hair stylist, relax my hair. I could not contain my excitement, I wanted straight hair like a child wants the candy waiting to explode out of a piñata. The day I went through the hair straightening process, I remember loving my hair even more and wanting nothing to do with my naturally curly hair.
It was not until I moved with my mom to the Bronx in 2002 that I started to see curly hair for what it is, beautiful. That’s when I started appreciating beauty for more than straight hair. Years passed and I envied my friends who had curly hair and would wear their curly hair to school or would wet their hair anytime they pleased without worries, I was displeased and sometimes jealous because my hair was relaxed and it could not just get wet. And what about my curls, you would ask? Well, I never saw my curls. Each time I would let my hair air dry after I washed it, it would become a frizzy mess. If one or two strands of hair would show signs of curl patterns, I was lucky.
To be honest, I do not remember if I ever asked my mother to stop relaxing my hair when I was a teenager. What I do remember is wanting to stop going to the hair salon every week and relaxing it every other month. I just did not know how to stop or how to even go about it. In my mid 20’s I sought out the information that was missing, I did research on the internet and found articles and videos that provided me with the information I needed. There were people that were sharing their stories of how they stopped relaxing their hair and how their beautiful curly locks came to life. To my dismay, it was not going to be an easy process.
After spending some time doing research and seeking ways to care for my hair while undergoing the hair transition from processed to natural, also known as hair transitioning, I devised my master plan. I was going to spend a year without relaxing my hair. During this year, I was going to go to the hair salon every week for a wash and set. I would wash my hair, do rollers on them, spend 30-45 minutes under a hair dryer to then get the hair stylist to straighten my hair with a blow dryer. This entire process would be about 2 hours long, sometimes longer if the hair salon was busy on said day. I remember my hair stylist being supportive about me stopping relaxing my hair, except she was very much against me cutting my hair or doing the big chop.
The first six months were the hardest, my natural hair and processed hair seemed to be fighting for their territory on my head. They could not get along and every time I washed my hair that year, the thought of aborting the plan and just relaxing my newly grown hair would resurface, and I had to remind myself of the reasons why I wanted to stop relaxing my hair. I wanted to stop putting unknown chemicals on my head, stop the headaches that came every time I processed my hair, enjoying my natural hair once this process was over. I wanted to embrace who I am as an Afro-Dominican woman, loving every inch of myself regardless of the negative connotations that I have internalized from my family and culture. On my not so bad days, I would ask my hair stylist while she detangled my hair if I should just cut it all off and allow my natural hair to grow free without previous entanglements. To this she always said, do not cut it off just yet, your hair would be too short and your hair is too long to just cut it all off.
After six months of starting my hair transition, I went to another hair stylist and decided to cut most of my relaxed hair off. I cut about one-third of my hair length, four to five inches of relaxed hair, enough to let the hair rest off my shoulders. While undergoing all these changes, my mother would say things like, “I can not believe you are doing this”, “why don’t you just leave your hair the way it is”, “are you really going to be walking around with a pajon“, “I don’t understand why you are doing this, your hair is just right the way it is at the moment (relaxed)”, and other phrases I can not remember at the moment, though you get the point. Through it all, I persevered, I was not going to let my mother’s words dissipate all the work I have put on my natural hair transition and my self-esteem.
My next step was cutting off all of my relaxed hair. I was aiming to cut it off in May 2016 and somehow was convinced by my mother and aunt to wait until after my graduation. On June 7th, 2016, one week after earning my Master’s degree, I went to the hair salon and cut my hair, did the big chop. Unfortunately, there was still about two to three inches of relaxed hair on my head, that month I was though on my hair because I did not like the way it would not curl, my hair would sit on my head half dead and half alive, it looked like a mixture of straight and curly hair, very damaged and unhealthy. I wanted to cut as much of my straight hair as possible and a month later I was at the hair salon cutting it again. Since then I have trimmed my ends four times, to this, my sister frowns upon because “I have not allowed my hair to grow”. Yet, I see the progress and I am very happy with the results.
At the beginning of this journey, I did not know what to expect, I just had to take a leap of faith and hope for the very best, like when you are starting a new relationship. I did not know all the answers or everything that I was going to undergo with my hair transitioning process, though I envisioned my head full of naturally curly hair. What I do know today is that I am thrilled of where I am in the process and happy to have a head full of natural, curly, and unprocessed hair. A year after doing the big chop, I am writing this in celebration of myself and how far I have come throughout this journey. My hair is not yet where I would like it to be, just like any relationship, though I can’t wait to see all the progress it makes in the next year. As I hope that every day this transition gets easier with time as it has been so far and that each passing day I learn something new about myself and the kind of person I want to be.
Even though this has been a relatively positive journey, I understand that this hair transition is much more than a beauty statement, as this is just one side of the story. My hair transition is a testament to accept my roots, my culture, to embrace my DNA and who I am as a woman born and raised in the Dominican Republic. This is me liberating myself from the prejudice and oppression of beauty and women because their features are different than the norm. It is important to understand that women with curly hair have been oppressed for centuries in the Dominican Republic as here in the USA, and other countries around the world. Curly hair represents a blackness not accepted by Dominicans because it shows our Afro-Dominican and indigenous roots. Understand that being Black is looked down upon in the Dominican Republic, that things like ese negro feo, esa prieta (that black woman), esa greñuda (disheveled haired girl), esa pajonua, esa Haitiana (that Haitian, referring to how dark a person’s skin is) are all racially charged terms and slurs used to devalue a person just because of their physical appearance (I highly recommend reading The Farming of Bones by Edwidge Danticat, for more historical context on the history of oppression in the Dominican Republic).
I used to be on that side of the spectrum once upon a time, shaming those around me because of their physical appearance, and it was because I did not know better. I would repeat what I would hear my elders say and would copy what my friends would say. I looked down upon those whose hair was not straight like mines and people who were darker than me because they were mala gente, bad people, people you could not be friends with.
I am thankful to live in a place where all those preconceived notions are challenged and where I became the person I am today. I am thankful to have gathered enough understanding and knowledge about the world where I can accept myself for who I am and accept others as well. However, understand that there is still a lot of groundwork that needs to happen, not only within me, and those around me, but also in my community, in our communities. This journey has taught me that just because I learned to accept myself for who I am, pajon and all, it does not mean that everyone else will. To be honest, I am okay with that because at least I am walking down the street proud of my curly locks, showing future generations that curly hair is beautiful. That your hair can tell countless stories about your ancestry, yourself and your culture, and no one should take that away from anyone.
A TIME LAPSE OF MY HAIR TRANSITION

I wanted to thank you and all of your staff both in the office and in the OR for their courtesy and professionalism.

I have beautiful results from the blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery). You are an expert in your cosmetic field. I am so happy I had the surgery done and did it when I did. I look more alert and my eyes seem bigger to me.
After years of procrastinating I had Dr. Janjua perform an upper and lower blepharoplasty.
No one could figure out what I had done but everyone asked whether I had color contacts on. They never noticed my green eyes before because they were covered by my eyelids. I couldn’t be happier with my more youthful and natural look. (more…)
I would like to thank you again for the treatment and wonderful care you provided me for my upper eyelid surgery. The procedure and recovery were painless and I regained my peripheral vision plus an improved appearance. (more…)

bareMinerals Bounce & Blur
I am a member of Influenster and occasionally get Voxboxes. I just so happened to get one a few weeks ago and took the time to test and try out the products. I had received a complimentary Bounce and Blur Eyeshadow and a Bounce and Blur Blush!
I was so stoked that the products appeared to be the full size!
I am no makeup guru but I do enjoy playing around with makeup. My makeup is never dramatic (I feel like it makes me look older than I am if I do that).
I appreciate how lightweight these products are. The blush kind of scared me though because it looked almost hot pink in the compact.
My eyelids can get a little oily sometimes so I usually have to put some cream eyeshadow primer and set the cream with a powder. To truly test the eyeshadow, I used it on my bare eyelids and well...it only lasted about three hours before it started creasing.
I had a mini photoshoot in my room and used the products to complete my look. It's subtle but I personally like a subtle makeup look.
I used my eyeshadow primer and set it with powder before I applied the eyeshadow this time. It lasted all day that way! This was also the first time I used the blush. I put a light brush of blush on my nose and a few brush strokes of it on my cheeks.
I feel that if you're going for a more dramatic look, these products may not be what you're looking for, as they're more on the neutral side. BUT that does not mean that you can't work with them. Like I said before, I am no makeup guru so I may not know the full potential of the products! Have you tried these before? What were your thoughts?
Again, thanks Influenster and bareMinerals for sending me these products to test and review!

We urge all new clients to undertake a free Patch Test from any of our branches before your scheduled day of treatment.
We recommend you visit the salon and request a free patch test at least 48 hours prior to your appointed time. These tests can relate to Eyebrow Tinting, Eyelash Tinting, Hair Colouring, Facial Waxing, Facial treatments, Body Waxing and even Nail treatments.
While we ensure that all products used undergo a rigorous safety and reaction test for all types of skin, we respect that not all skin is created equal! We therefore encourage patch tests to be carried out for all treatments.
During life, the skin undergoes many changes and on some rare occasions it may become less tolerant to a particular cream or chemical. We therefore encourage that you request a patch test on a regular basis, especially if you are pregnant.
Also, if you are applying any creams, lotions or steroids to your skin, please let the Beautician know this before the treatment starts.

If it is not convenient for you to get a professional salon manicure, you should learn how to do a salon manicure at home. Salon manicure at home is easy if you know what you are doing.
If your nails do not have polish on them, you should swipe them a couple of times with polish remover to remove any dirt that may be on your nails. If you have gel polish on, you could easily remove them without damaging your nails using Gel Magic Remover. Alternatively, applying a Peel-off Base Coat will also remove gel polish easily and safely.
When filing the nails, do not file back and forth. File the nails in only one direction with a slow, even stroke. Take note of any breaks or splits in the nail and file them until smooth. A great way to check your nails for smoothness is to run them over a pair of old pantyhose. If the nails do not snag the pantyhose, they are filed to perfection.
This provides a clean surface for the gel polish to stick to, while creating longer, more even looking nails. Using a 180 grit buffer, gently buff the entire surface of each nail. Make sure to buff the sides of the nails and around the cuticle, as this is where lifting may occur prematurely if they are not buffed correctly. Nails should then appear dull, not shiny. Do not over-buff the nails as it may cause sensitivity. Our range of Gel Polish Manicure Set should have all the tools you need for a great salon manicure at home.
Before you start to polish your nails, Make sure to clean the nails thoroughly after buffing. Any buffing dust, oil, etc will reduce adhesion of the gel and affect the longevity. Now you can proceed to the fun part of painting your nails with gel polish! Read the how-to here.
Our tip is to begin to polish your nails starting at the centre, push slowly to the base without touching the cuticle and slowly working to the tip in one smooth motion. Repeat the same motion to apply nail polish on the sides.
Please be patient, and take your time. One of the benefits of gel polish is that it doesn’t dry like normal nail polish, so you can make sure your manicure is perfect before you use the UV/LED lamp to set it! Be sure to take your time, and simply wipe off the layer with Nail Polish Remover if you aren’t happy.
If you are a new to gel polish, your first few manicures may not last as long as expected. New users may make small mistakes during the application process that cause premature chipping or peeling and that’s okay. Once you master your gel polish application you will be able to enjoy shiny, long-lasting and chip-free...
How to pick the right nail color for your skin tone when there are hundreds, if not thousands, of nail polish colors on the market today. It is very easy to become overwhelmed when trying to choose the right nail color. The choices of nail color seem endless. There are enough nail polish colors available...

There are so many ways to remove unwanted hair. But these are often time-consuming, frustrating and repetitive – and they can leave behind issues like ingrown hairs and razor burn. Many of our clients have chosen to take a more decisive step forward with permanent hair removal. Laser hair removal damages the follicles that produce hair to leave behind smoother skin – and allow for less time spent shaving, plucking and waxing.
Reasons for permanent hair removal
There are many reasons why people are interested in long-term hair removal. Some are frustrated by the repetitive need for and cost of waxing, shaving or plucking. Others are interested in gender-affirming treatments. Others have excess body hair caused by certain medications or conditions like PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), Cushing’s syndrome, postmenopause or other conditions. No matter the reason for your interest in removing hair, there’s a treatment plan that fits.
Is home light-based hair removal safe?
There’s a rise in light-based handheld machines that allow for home hair removal. While these can produce some sort of result, they can be less safe because they’re not performed under the supervision of a professional. They also typically take longer to yield the kind of results professional laser hair removal does. Home hair removal is also more difficult on hard-to-reach areas like the bikini line.
If you’re interested in laser hair removal, schedule a consultation to find a treatment plan that fits your budget.
What areas can I treat with laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is appropriate for areas across the body, for people of all genders. Hair removal can treat hair on the –
- Arms / shoulders
- Bikini area
- … and more.
Removing unwanted hair can not only save time and effort, but it’s also a smart investment – the upfront cost of laser hair removal is less than you’ll pay for razors and waxing in the years to come.

This non-invasive technique complements orthodontic treatments, achieving a harmonious balance between your radiant smile and a rejuvenated facial aesthetic. Dr. Morgan Zwickel Tip: Orthodontists may offer Botox injections to patients suffering from bruxism (teeth grinding) to relax the muscles responsible for grinding, reducing the wear and tear on teeth and orthodontic appliances. Ask our team today if this may be right for you!
Fillers: At Sandy Smiles Orthodontics, we recognize that a vibrant smile compliments a well-defined facial structure. Dermal fillers are used to restore lost volume, particularly around the cheeks and lips. This procedure enhances facial contours, helps balance facial asymmetry and restores volume for creating a natural and youthful appearance. Dr. Morgan Zwickel Tip: Fillers can be used to enhance lip volume and shape, creating a fuller and more attractive smile. An orthodontist may offer this treatment to patients who desire fuller lips to complement their orthodontic results. We can walk you through your options during your initial consultation.
Gingival Recontouring: Gingival recontouring, also known as gum contouring, is an aesthetic procedure that focuses on reshaping the gums to achieve a more balanced and symmetrical smile. We implement advanced techniques to precisely sculpt the gumline, creating a frame that beautifully accentuates your teeth. Gingival recontouring is often recommended in conjunction with orthodontic treatments to ensure a harmonious balance between your teeth and gums. Dr. Morgan Zwickel Tip: Patients with an uneven gum line or excessive gum tissue may benefit from gum contouring to achieve a more symmetrical and balanced smile.

If you want to extend the length of your hair or add thickness and texture, real human hair extensions could be the perfect choice for you. Hair extensions can be made from human hair or made synthetically from nylon, silk, and other materials. While human hair extensions are more expensive, they are also more versatile.
Real human hair added to your own can be washed, dried, and styled just like your own hair. It can also be colored to be an exact match. In fact, real human hair extensions applied properly will be indistinguishable from your own hair.
Synthetic hair extensions have come a long way and at times can look exactly like human hair. However Synthetic hair does not have the same longevity and versatility as human hair.
If you like to flat iron, curl, or crimp your hair you’ll need to use real human hair extensions. These can be treated with heat styling products just like your own hair can be. But synthetic hair extensions can melt and burn from heat styling products. Once you choose a look for synthetic extensions, you’re limited to it until you remove them.
Synthetic extensions can be applied to the hair and will last a few weeks. This is fine if you just want a temporary hairstyle. But if you’re looking for a style that lasts, you’ll want to use human hair. Human hair extensions can last anywhere from three months to a year depending on your own hair and style.
Human hair extensions will always look and feel just like your own hair. They’ll stay soft, silky, and can be easily washed, conditioned, and combed. While human hair extensions are more expensive than synthetic, you definitely get what you pay for.
