What is the Jet Clear?

The Jet Clear is an all natural, virtually painless, skin treatment that dramatically improves the appearance and texture of your skin, providing beautiful results from your very first treatment session.

How does the Jet Clear work?

Each Jet Clear treatment will gently "pressure wash" your skin utilizing water, oxygen and anti-oxidant supplements, delivered at supersonic speed. This gentle cleansing unclogs pores and removes any debris that has naturally built-up in the skin over the years. In addition, each treatment session provides micro-circulation to the treated area. Your skin will appear more vibrant, smooth and youthful.

How many treatments do I need?

Jet Clear treatments are usually performed in a series fo sessions. The actual number depends on your skin condition. Jet Clear treatments are usually performed every 14 to 30 days. Therefore maintenance treatments are scheduled as needed. These sessions have proven to be very helpful in maintaining a client's skin clarity and "luster". Your skin will feel amazingly smooth immediately after the first treatment without any downtime.

Can the Jet Clear treat the body?

The treatments are most commonly performed on the face, neck and decollete areas. However, they can be easily be performed on any part of the body that requires smoothing, deep cleansing, and hydration such as the hands, feet, chest, back and elbows.

Jet clear has a fine jet aerosol spray that penetrates deep below the skin surface.

Whole Body Vibration

01/09/2012 16:04:00

The whole body vibration training protocol is similar to any other form of training. Build slowly by using short, low-intensity training periods and gradually work up to higher intensity levels. Our kwikfit fitness machines do more than just build strength or increase metabolism.

They also detoxify the internal organs and cells. Consequently, sore muscles are not our only concern for training slowly when initially tarting your whole body vibration training. Symptoms of detoxification caused by the release of cellular waste into the blood stream can also occur. Headaches, flu-like symptoms, fatigue and constipation can all be potential symptoms associated with detoxification of the body. For most people, the slow build approach to WBV training will prevent most of these reactions. WBV training with the kwikfit machines stimulates hormone production, improves lymphatic flow and increases cellular absorption of nutrients.

Whole Body Vibration can be as muscularly taxing as any intense workout with weights, Pilates, or Yoga. The typical recovery period after conventional training is about 1-2 days. However, with the Kwikfit system, training recovery time is significantly reduced because the exercise accelerates the brain's adaptive potential leading to faster recovery. In other words, the brain can respond and adapt to the vibrations or any workout stimulation faster because it is better organized and connected like a smooth-running computer. Consequently, you may be able to train everyday without overstraining, but that ultimately depends on one's personal genetic makeup. If you are a seasoned athlete or exercise regularly, then the progressive build up period may be too easy, so adjust the length or time of the workout to meet your training capacity and personal needs.

Here is a list of some of the proven Benefits that Whole Body Vibration can deliver:

Strengthen your Core Muscles: There has been an increasing focus on core muscle training in the past few years. Your core muscles are the most important muscle group in you body. They dictate how your entire body including your arms and legs will function. WBV will help firm and tone your core muscles. Strong core muscles can assist in proper posture to promote back health. Increasing the circulation to your problem areas with the consequent increase in healing oxygen means you will minimize the need to do special exercises that take extra time and can be painful. Try mixing it up and do some yoga on our vibration machine.

Rehabilitate Broken Bones. Ligaments and Sports Injuries. Remember, the key to healing is the flow of oxygen through the cells. If you are inactive the circulation will be at a minimum and the flow of healing oxygen will be at a minimum too. Even if you are in a full leg cast, you can sit on the machine and it will increase the flow of oxygenated blood through your leg; hence, reducing the time it takes for your leg to heal.

Reduce Back Pain and increase flexibility in all your muscles. WBV activates those key stabilizing muscles at your body's core. When those muscles are weak or tight you will have back issues. By using the vibration platform, you will be amazed at how quickly your flexibility will improve. Consequently, your muscles will be loosened up and your sore back will all but disappear. Ask any chiropractor; healing a sore back requires stretching and moving the sore muscles. Vibration will help you do that much quicker.

Lymphatic System Drainage The Lymph system plays an underestimated role in the health of our bodies. How do you reduce cellulite? The lymph system is responsible for the adsorption of trapped toxins in the fat cells commonly referred to as cellulite. It takes the toxins contained in those problem cells and flushes them out of your system. Another function of the body and returning it to the blood stream. Lastly, the system is a critical support for the body;s immune system. Your very underestimated lymphatic system is the unsung hero of the human body. Unlike our Blood, lymphatic fluid does not use the heart as a pump. Lymph transport (or drainage primarily depends upon the contraction of skeletal muscles-thus the importance of exercise. A body which is not moving will begin to stagnate in more ways than one!

Rejuvenation Light Therapy!

Benefits of Red Light Collagen Lamps

Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles
Activates fibroblast cells which create collagen and elastin
Improves skin tone
Creates more skin moisture for a more youthful appearance
Increases circulation to the skin
Heals blemishes
Helps repair sun-damaged skin

Using red light collagen lamps four (4) 15 minute sessions a week for 3 weeks then once per week for another 4 weeks creates a noticeable reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, facial blemishes and crow's feet.

The light was originally studied by NASA and has been shown to stimulate fibroblasts which causes an increase in collagen and elastin, restoring the skin to its more supple state. This light stimulation photo rejuvenation system penetrates into the skin to repair damaged tissue, diminish lines, creases, furrows and crow's feet. It refines pore size and skin texture without peels, surgery or injections. Phototherapy has been known to fade age spots, and control melasma and hyper pigmentation.

We are very excited to be getting our New Rejuvenation Light Therapy for the body treatments next week and will be scheduling appointments as soon as Monday September 5, 2011. Please note that the pricing on our web-site is Special Rates Only Available for a Limited Time!

Clayton Shagal Products for your skin at any age.

In Your 20's:

Skin in your 20's has an abundance of collagen. In this decade, your skin usually displays minimal signs of aging. However, choices you make about caring for your skin will influence its overall condition. It's a prime time to promote the foundation of healthy skin into your 30's.

In Your 30's:

Thirties brings the onset of changing skin and the first signs of premature aging. Your skin begins to lose the volume and suppleness that defined your youthful 20's. The good news? Your collagen production is still in full swing. It's just time for preventative skin care!

Product Recommendations:

Get started with the basics: A Clayton Shagal Cleanser, Collagen Gel II, Elastin Gel II, Moistuizer. Your esthetician can tell you if you need to be concerned with dehydration or to simply fortify your collagen production.

In Your 40's:

Skin in your 40's reflects the loss of elasticity and formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Skin texture and tonicity tend to be primary areas of concern. Eye contours need more attention. It's time to stimulate collagen adn elastin production to slow the aging process.

In Your 50's +...

We tend to tread carefully past the forties milestone, forgetting that it is impossble to age gracefully. Dehydration, deep wrinkles, and skin laxity tend to prevail in your 50's & beyond. It becomes imperative to hydrate the skin, increase skin density, and use humectants that absorb and sustain moisture.

Product Recommendations:

Jump start to the Advanced System Package with: A Clayton Shagal Cleanser, Collagen Plus, Elastin Plus & Placyderm Cream.

Again your esthetician will pull together the correct products for your skin type and conditions.
