3000BC WellMed Spa on Fox Good Day

THE CRYSTAL BALL OF SKINCARE

3000BC is THE LEADER IN SKINCARE!

3000BC has invested $20,000 into the Visia Complexion Analysis to make sure we are serving our guests needs better than any other facility in the region!

Wrinkles, sun spots, and laugh lines – want to prevent visibly getting older?  Now you can.  Take a look into your skins future with the VISIA® Complexion Analysis technology now available at 3000bc WellMed Spa.

It is one thing to look at your face in a mirror, but looking at your face with VISIA® is another story entirely. VISIA® is an imaging system that allows you to see details of your face that are hidden to the human eye. 

In the quest for a more radiant complexion, knowledge is an invaluable tool. VISIA® allows for the deepest possible understanding of your skin and the ability to show you just how it will respond to a full range of treatments.

The key to improving your skin’s condition is diagnosis: better diagnosis means better care. Among the many variables that contribute to the total condition of your complexion, six are critical to choosing the right skin care treatments. VISIA® Complexion Analysis evaluates these factors, which include: wrinkles, spots, pore size, tone variations, bacterial content and UV spots that indicate sun damage

VISIA® works by taking a digital photograph of your face which the certified doctors at 3000bc can then use to document the condition of your skin and evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment options available to you.

Holy Eyelashes Batman

Latisse is magic

What is the fascination with long eyelashes? Women have known for ages that the bat of an eyelash can accomplish more than the spoken word.. The ancient Egyptians used kohl to darken their eyelashes. The Victorians, who abhorred makeup, even massaged castor oil into their lashes to enhance their natural beauty. Soon T.L. Williams created the first commercial mascara and named it after his sister – Mabel (you might have heard of the still-popular Maybelline!)

Well ladies this is 2009 and the great news is that there is a new product called Latisse that transforms lashes into the dramatic fringe everyone lusts after. It’s time to get out of the stone ages. No more tricky false eyelashes slipping out of place. No more maintenance for extensions!

After a recent visit to 3000BC I left with a prescription for Latisse. If you haven’t heard the buzz, Latisse is a prescription medication designed to grow your natural lashes. You can see before and after pictures at www.latisse.com. The active ingredient in Latisse was originally used in a medication to treat glaucoma. During studies of the product it was noted that patients were experiencing significant (and by that I mean va va voom) eyelash growth.

It’s really simple. You just brush a drop of Latisse above each lash line before you go to bed each night. I go through my normal cleansing routine, dab on my eye cream and the last thing I do is apply my Latisse. It takes about two to four months to see results because you have to give the lashes time to grow, but I am waiting (who am I kidding I am checking my lashes in the mirror all the time) anxiously to see the results.

I will be posting more about my Latisse experience and tracking my progress with photos, but if you’re just dying to grow you own goddess lashes I would recommend dropping into 3000 BC and talking with someone about Latisse today!

Shopping the competition!

Elizabeth Arden's Red Door
Turns out 5th Avenue is NOT quite as good.....

I was in New York City for a spa conference, looking around at the latest technology, meeting vendors, touching base w. spa industry consultants that I've known for nearly a decade now. I spent the day seeing the best that the spa world had to offer. Kate Brown, 3000BC's resident skin care guru went with me to check out the scene.

After several hours of walking and talking, we decided to really get the true pulse of spa industry we should go and get a facial at Elizabeth Arden (we know - tough job!), but it really was work! We swear! We have to go and endure the pampering of luxury 5th Avenue spas in order to make sure that we are - in fact - providing the highest possible care to the 3000BC guest - or at least that's how i justified my expense report for the trip.

We entered the tiny little store front on 5th Avenue and took the elevator to the 8th floor. It's pretty, tea, juice, flowers, all the usual suspects. As we checked in - i began to peruse a spa menu and ask about facials. The very polite person behind the counter had no idea about the different facials. I'm not faulting her for that, 3000BC's desk team is not required to know all of the facials, I have asked my desk team to always tell the guest that a licensed esthetician will help them navigate the menu.

THE FACIAL, ITSELF
My esthetician was very nice, she examined my skin, asked me about my skin care history, treatments and products. She offered me micordermabrasion, after I told her that I'd had it in the past. She never recommended any service based on my skincare goals nor my current condition. When I asked about the a particular facial, she said that would be good.

She kept saying that products would be good for me, but didn't really tell me why the product would help.

THE CHECK OUT
I went to the desk after the treatment and my esthetician was there with 2 products. "These are the ones, I told you about." I thanked her, but didn't buy them - hello - can you say No Employee discount at Red Door.

She never explained helped me with a list of treatments that I would need in order to keep my skin healthy.

I was so impressed with the level of service at 3000BC, I've watched my team create customized treatment programs and home care routines for guests on a daily basis. We have such a loyal following because very one feels such a connection to our team. I am so thrilled to be able to offer a higher level of service to our 3000BC guests than Elizabeth Arden is offering on 5th Avenue!

What is Photo Rejuvenation?

Biostimulatory Light Therapy.
Photo Rejuvenation Facial

Don't resist the idea as a hoax, a fad, or a gimmick! These treatments are FDA approved! They will create change in your skin without down time, without causing you pain, they are good for all skin types!

These facials are truly amazing! They work at the cellular level to stimulate the cellular activity through the production of “adenosine triphosphate” (ATP), the major carrier of energy to cells, helping all cells to rapidly accept nutrients and eliminate waste. The process stimulates collagen production while damaged cells are promptly replaced, resulting in the reduction of the appearance of aging by reducing wrinkles and producing firm, smooth skin.

This treatment is no joke. While a cutting edge therapy in many major cities in the United States, Philadelphia has yet to truly embrace the extraordinary power of PHOTO REJUVENATION facials that use Biostiumulatory Light.

We invite you to make an appointment for our featured treatment in April:

Advanced Esthetics Training

3000BC Esthetician Medical Training

The 3000BC medical estheticians spent a day at the offices of our medical director Dr. Brian Buinewicz.

The estheticians: Judy Kim, Kate Brown and AnnaMaria Dipilla received advanced training, participated in a skincare protocol forum, observed highly advanced medical peel combitions (microdermabrasion and vitalize peel - Judy Kim is receiving this combination in the pictures above), laser resurfacing (AnnaMaria Dipilla is receiving this from Dr. Buinewicz in the pictures above), they also observed BOTOX injections and Juvederm injections (you can see Kate Brown's newly injected lips in the pictures above).

This type of training is what sets 3000BC WellMed Spa apart from other medical spas in the area. We continually strive to grow and learn in order to bring our guests the most cutting edge technology. You can feel confident that as a 3000BC guest you are receiving the best medical skin care in the region.

downtown kate brown loves BOTOX

Kate on BOTOX
TOP is BEFORE
BOTTOM is AFTER



Master Esthetician, and 3000BC Trainer Kate Brown is a huge fan of BOTOX!

Kate's major concern was her 11's - those vertical creases that appear between the eyebrows. You can see in the top picture as she squints the 11's become very prominent. In the bottom picture, Kate's brow muscles are relaxed by the BOTOX and the 11's no longer form.

When asked what she loves so much about BOTOX, Kate responded, "I don't look angry all the time. The muscles around my eyes are relaxed and they appear more open and vibrant."

If you have any questions regarding BOTOX, schedule a free consultation with Dr. Rosen in Chestnut Hill or Dr. Buinewiecz in Wayne. You can feel free to ask Kate Brown or Barry Eichner about their experience with BOTOX any time.
