Best SLC Spa: NIMA

Posted on by Nima

We all love a good spa day. And we mean all of us, the girls, the guys, and the they/thems. It’s always nice to be able to sit back and relax after a long day of work or just because you feel like you deserve it. You know what? We think you deserve the best spa day. Most people read about NIMA and don’t realize that we have a spa. Indeed, the spa at NIMA is something to behold. Salt Lake City is one of the areas we get the most clients from. An SLC spa can be hard to find, and even harder to book out because of the denseness of the population here. The Spa at NIMA is located in South Jordan, so not too far away from the greatest spa day of your life! Okay, sure, this SLC spa is close to home. What are the other reasons to choose NIMA for your spa day? We offer a lot of different options when it comes to our services. Whether you want a simple spa day, like a pedicure or if you want to come out looking like a new person, NIMA is the place for you. Here, let us convince you! Keep reading to find out why we think we are the best SLC spa. 

 

Services: peeling time

One of our popular services is called chemical peels. Chemical peels can be used for various different reasons on the face. Everyone’s skin is different and therefore each person should get a different chemical peel. But why should you choose a chemical peel? A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment, yes that means say goodbye to the skin you see and hello to the skin you want! Our chemical peels range from mild to intense. Some peels are too harsh for the sensitive skin, so we’ll guide you in your choice after seeing the skin you have. Chemical peels will not completely remove the unwanted scars on your face or wrinkles, or totally tighten sagging skin. However, they can improve the feeling and the look of them quite significantly. We all want to have radiant and glowing skin and a chemical peel may be able to help improve some of the luster you want. Chemical peels aren’t for everyone, like we said before, unfortunately, folks that have extremely sensitive skin should consider a different type of treatment to ensure that they won’t get any negative reactions. 

 

We have peels that help brighten the skin, help with hyperpigmentation, help reduce the look of scars. We have chemical peels that offer a smoother texture of the skin, antioxidant peels, and peels that help fine lines and wrinkles appear less. Again, peels aren’t for everyone, but for those that will react well to the peel, they will want to add a chemical peel from NIMA into their next spa day. You won’t regret it! 

 

If you’re feeling like a chemical peel is too harsh, you can also try one of our many facials. These are less intense and will still leave you with the glow you’ve been looking for. 

 

Enough about your face. What about your rockin ‘body? 

 

Services: body treatments

Your body deserves some loving too, right? Here at NIMA we offer quite a few different body services. Here are some examples of the body treatments we are talking about: 

 

Sugar Body Polish: Dry skin can be such a bother and we know that the most here in good ole SLC. Applying moisturizer in the Winter here seems impossible, right? We get it. So, we’ll help you get rid of that dead skin to show the glowing skin underneath. Our exfoliating polish first cleanses and invigorated the skin then leaves it feeling glowing and smoother than you can believe. After we polish your body, we use a moisturizer to make sure to add the hydration back with a refreshing moisturizer. You’ll walk out of our SLC spa feeling ready to take anything on.

 

M’Lis Cellulite Wrap: Ah, yes Cellulite. We understand that it is totally natural. Some waste and toxins get trapped in these areas and tissues of the body that then make cellulite. Cellulite won’t hurt anyone, but if it is something that you have an insecurity with look no further! You need to live with cellulite forever.  Our whole-body treatment of niacin and natural ingredients helps to stop and then reverse the way that cellulite forms in these areas.  It does this by helping get the body’s natural lymph elimination functions moving and getting rid of your insecurity!

 

These are just a couple of the whole-body treatments that we offer. There are some that help with back-acne, other body blemishes, a body treatment to help detoxify, and we even offer a hot stone therapy to make sure you’re at max relaxation. 

 

Services: CoolSculpting, you’ll want to keep reading

What is CoolSculpting? We’re so glad you asked. CoolSculpting is a new innovative way to get rid of stubborn areas of fat. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive treatment that gets rid of fat cells throughout a few months. CoolSculpting is the only Food and Drug Administration approved fat removal treatment! CoolSculpting works by freezing fat cells in areas where you just can’t seem to get rid of unwanted weight. After a few sessions (sessions vary by area and how many fat cells need to be frozen) your body will remove the fat cells naturally. While this is not the most basic treatment to get during a spa day, we wanted to show you that we have almost everything you could need in a SLC spa and more!

 

Here at NIMA we want our clients to feel their very best in any way possible. That’s why we have such a large variety of services for you to choose from. From waxing to laser skin rejuvenation to Botox injections. We want you to be the best version of you while giving you a high-quality treatment. Check out our spa services here— we offer lash lifts. We hope to see you soon!

Facials for Everyone

Posted on by Nima

Facials are such a fun way to get the pampering you need. There is quite a big stigma that they aren’t for everyone. Well, we are here to break that stigma down. Facials are truly for anyone that wants one. Those who have almost perfect skin and even those who do not. The guys and the gals can get into facials that are just right for them. Everyone has a different skin type and therefore every skin needs a different treatment. Here at NIMA we offer a lot of different types. In this article we’ll explain each of our facials so that you can better choose the right one for you. We here at NIMA want to make sure that our clients are happy and are well educated on our treatments so that there is confidence in their choices.

 

Facials for you and me and them 

Like we stated above, we have a lot of different options when it comes to our facials. Each one is tailored to a different need or multiple needs. Keep reading to figure out which one will best fit your needs! 

 

  • Acne: This facial will help clear up those annoying breakouts. This treatment can be used no matter your age. Oftentimes people associate acne with younger people, but we know that adults also struggle with this issue. So, we’re here to help. This one will help with excess oil, black heads, and uneven complexion.
  • Acne Power Treatment: More acne? No problem.  We’ve the right tools to help those who only have a little acne and those who have a lot. In this facial we use Dermasound technology. As well as a salicylic peel to help clear up that annoying acne. This one may also help prevent future breakouts. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll see a difference. 
  • Age Management: Everyone ages, but how you do it matters. Trying to mask your wrinkles with make-up may not be the move. However, this facial may be what helps you the most. In the facial we combine alpha hydroxyl acids, skin balancing and exfoliating ingredients. This could help you achieve a younger appearance just by the tone and texture of your skin after the treatment. Everyone ages and maybe our age management facial can assist you in doing so gracefully. 
  • Dermasound: This facial is ultrasonic and uses the highest technology available. A Dermasound facial uses low frequency sound waves to exfoliate the skin. These low frequency sound waves may create changes in the texture and tone of your skin. If you have sensitive skin and are sensitive to most types, you may benefit from a Dermasound facial. 
  • Gentlemen’s Spa: Step up, gentleman! Facials aren’t just for the feminine. You guys need to take care of your skin too! This gentlemen’s facial helps to prevent ingrown hairs. It will also be customized to each person’s needs. This type is wrapped up with a shoulder and neck massage.
  • Hyperpigmentation: Whether you’ve been in the sun a lot throughout your life or your skin texture is uneven. This hyperpigmentation facial may help improve the look of those sunspots. As well as smooth out the texture of the skin to give you more glowing skin.    
  • LED: This LED light therapy facial may help reduce wrinkles, acne, and hyperpigmentation. By using what you usually try to avoid when it comes to skin, the light! However, it should be noted that this light is different from the one you find outside or in tanning beds. LED facials may improve production of elasticity and collagen of the skin. Perhaps the light isn’t as bad as you thought.  
  • Microcurrent: Microcurrent facials are made to reduce signs of aging. It’s a non-invasive facial treatment that may help lift up tissues and facial muscles. It may also improve hydration and circulation of the skin. Your skin will feel rejuvenated.  
  • Microdermabrasion: This is NIMA’s favorite type of exfoliating facials. There are three different types of microdermabrasion. We will customize this facial to your skin’s needs to give you the best results possible. Microdermabrasion is made to improve the look of fine lines, the starting signs of aging, and hyperpigmentation.  
  • NIMA Signature: Our signature facial, one of our favorites to perform. It’s a European type that begins with a strong cleansing. After that we exfoliate to show your smooth, glowing skin. Then we customize a masque and follow it with a nutrient dense moisturizer. We wouldn’t call it a NIMA signature if we didn’t think everyone would love it.  
  • Reconditioning and Firming: Add some moisture and tighten that skin! Our reconditioning and firming facial will leave your skin feeling fresh and shining. If your skin is dry and dull. Or if you’re starting or in the aging process, this treatment is for you. We will help your skin cells by adding all of the nutrients, hydration, and the firming properties of Vitamin C with this reconditioning type. Who doesn’t want a little toning and hydration?  
  • Rosacea: Rosacea is something that many people struggle with. It’s far more common than many people think. Our Rosacea facial was made to reduce redness and inflammation (key problems with Rosacea). It may also help calms while adding strength to the capillary walls that cause rosacea. If you’ve got Rosacea, this facial may be something to consider.   
  • Seasonal Deluxe: Enjoy each season with the seasonal deluxe facial by us here at NIMA. This type hydrates as well as exfoliates to give your skin the glow it craves. Your senses will be exhilarated with a seasonal facial masque and luxurious body cream. Each season brings something different. Perhaps this one should come along with it. 
  • Vitamin C Plus: This particular facial was made for those aging and who have more sensitive skin. This is a peeling treatment and is followed by a masque that is infused with Vitamin C. Your skin will be left feeling firmer and will increase cellular turnover to get rid of any dry skin cells you may have. 

 

Facials really are for everyone

A quick explanation of how CoolSculpting works

Posted on by Nima

So, we’ve all heard of CoolSculpting, right? We’ve all heard about how it’s a revolutionary process that gets rid of fat merely by freezing it. But that’s a pretty hefty claim to believe. After all, how can you freeze something to make it go away? That doesn’t make a ton of sense. But that doesn’t mean that CoolSculpting doesn’t work. In fact, CoolSculpting works really well. It is a safe, non-invasive way to get rid of those pockets of stubborn fat that you just can’t get rid of. So, to help clear up any confusion that may surround this truly amazing process, we wanted to give a brief overview of just how CoolSculpting works. Let’s get started, shall we?

 

How CoolSculpting works

It is true that CoolSculpting is essentially just freezing away fat. But we understand that that is pretty hard to believe, so let’s explain just how it works.

 

There is a temperature for every kind of cell in the human body that is what’s known as the “freezing point.” This is a temperature that is cold enough to completely kill the cell. However, not all freezing points are the same. There are some cells that it takes very low temperatures to kill and others that only take warmer temperatures. It all depends on the cell. Fat cells freeze at much warmer temperatures than most of the other cells in the body. This means that if you expose an area with fat to that temperature for long enough, it may be able to kill the fat while leaving the other areas alone. That is how CoolSculpting works.

 

So, now you know how CoolSculpting works. But we think it would help illustrate how it works, it would be good to cover how a CoolSculpting session works as well. To begin with, a CoolSculpting technician gets you in position in the CoolSculpting chair and puts a protective pad in place on the desired area that is normally called the target area. This pad is to create an added protective layer between you and the cold. This shouldn’t alarm you, as CoolSculpting is considered to be very safe. However, it is always good to make sure that treatments like this are as safe as possible. 

 

Once things are prepared, the technician puts the CoolSculpting applicator in place and turns it on. At that point, the treatment really starts. The applicator will stay in place for a predetermined period of time. During this period, it’s not unusual to experience some interesting sensations. You will, of course, feel the cold for a little while. This will likely be followed by a tugging or pinching feeling. That will eventually fade as the area goes numb. This numbness is not anything to cause worry. It’s a normal reaction to your body being exposed to the cold. It will not cause damage and will fade not long after the session is over, and the target area warms up again. Another thing to know about this time is that it is more-or-less yours. You don’t have to do anything but stay in the chair so that the CoolSculpting can work. Many people nap or read during this time.

 

After the period of time is over, the technician will turn off and remove the applicator. Then they will message your target area. This helps break up the cells that have been frozen and warms up the rest of the cells. It also helps speed up the process that gets rid of the dead cells. After all of that, you’re done. While you may have other sessions scheduled (most people need more than one), you can get back to your life after each session. There is no need for recovery time because there is nothing to recover from, since CoolSculpting isn’t invasive.

 

Can everyone get CoolSculpting done?

Hopefully, the above section has given you a good idea of how CoolSculpting works. It’s pretty impressive, isn’t it? Despite how fantastic of a procedure it is, it should be noted that CoolSculpting isn’t a good or safe option for everyone. Again, CoolSculpting is safe (it is one of the few weight loss treatments that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration), but there are certain conditions that make CoolSculpting dangers or impossible. So, let’s talk about those for a moment.

 

CoolSculpting is designed to work on those who are only struggling with stubborn fat. That is, it is made for those who are almost at the weight they want to be at but have pockets of fat they just can’t get rid of. It will not work on those who have been diagnosed with obesity. CoolSculpting is also not safe for those who have conditions that make the extra sensitive to cold temperatures. If you’re not sure if CoolSculpting is right for you, you should talk to your doctor. They will be able to guide you on whether or not the procedure is safe for you.

 

Of course, the doctor isn’t the only way that you can know if CoolSculpting is right for you. At the NIMA Institute, we give you a free consultation with one of our CoolSculpting experts before we do anything else. During the consultation, a number of things will be decided including; whether or not CoolSculpting is a good choice for you, where your target areas may be, how many sessions you might need, and how long each of your sessions should last. This consultation is not only free, but it’s also obligation free. If you decide after your consultation that you would rather not get the treatment done, that’s fine.

 

So, now you know how CoolSculpting works and how to tell if you can even get it done in the first place. Hopefully, this has cleared up any confusion you may have had before reading this article. If you have any other questions you should set up your free CoolSculpting consultation at the NIMA Institute. Your CoolSculpting expert will be able to answer any questions you may have. What are the dangers of CoolSculpting?

Why NIMA is among the top spas in Utah

Posted on by Nima

Like any other state, Utah has its share of nice spas. But there is one in particular that stands out. That would be the NIMA Institute. When some people read the word “Institute” they tend to hesitate. That word suggests that students are the ones giving you whatever treatments you’re paying good money for. However, don’t let that idea scare you. NIMA is the top aesthetician school in Utah for a reason. It is such a nice, well run spa that you wouldn’t even know that it’s a school. But we don’t expect you to take our word for it. We thought we would go over just what makes NIMA as incredible as it is. So, are you ready to get started?

 

What does NIMA have to offer?

Let’s start by going over the spa menu. After all, we offer a wide range of treatments all designed to make you feel great, whether it’s about yourself or just feeling great in general. So, here is a brief overview of each of our categories:

 

Advanced aesthetics services

NIMA is always on the cutting edge of the latest and greatest in the medical aesthetic world. As a result, we can offer a full range of advanced aesthetics services. This includes things like HydraFacials and Microneedling, along with chemical peels that can be packaged with these treatments. Each of these treatments is designed to help lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin using the most up to date technologies out there.

 

Injections

Did you know that NIMA is among the top Botox providers in the country? It’s true, and that’s not the only injection we offer. We also do Dysport and Derma Fillers. All of these injections are used to help reduce signs of aging in the quickest and simplest possible way, a simple injection.

 

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is, by far, one of our most popular treatments. It is a revolutionary way to get rid of fat. All that’s involved is gently and safely freezing fat away. This means that there is no surgery, no scaring, and no recovery time. You can get rid of those frustrating pockets of fat in just a few sessions.

 

Laser skin rejuvenation

Speaking of revolutionary treatments, NIMA offers just about any laser treatment you can think of. We have several laser facials that are designed to give the skin a youthful lift and others that are made to help with skin discoloration. We also do laser hair removal, so you can say good-bye to shaving, waxing, and threading!

 

Facials

We’ve talked a little about our HydraFacials and our laser facials, but those aren’t the only kinds of facials we offer. We have a wide array of facials, each designed to help with a particular skin issue. Have stubborn acne? Try our Acne Power Treatment. Looking for a facial that helps clear the skin but is nice and gentle? We offer a fantastic Vitamin C Plus facial. Those are only a couple of examples of the many, many different facials we offer.

 

Peels

If you’re looking for something a bit more intense than a facial, we also have several different chemical peels for you to choose from. While those may sound intimidating if you are unfamiliar with them, chemical peels can be quite beneficial to the overall look of your skin. We offer peels that range in intensity from mild to aggressive depending on what you’re looking for. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for, you can set up a free consultation with one of our experts and they will be able to guide you on what peel is right for you.

 

Body services

Most of the services that we’ve been talking about have focused pretty heavily on the face. But that doesn’t mean that we have nothing to offer for the body. We offer a number of different treatments aimed at helping you unwind and feel great. These include Hot Stone Therapy, a Hydrating Mud Wrap, and a Sugar Body Polish. We even offer M’Lis Cellulite Wraps to help you get rid of that pesky cellulite.

 

Spa services

Of course, we couldn’t call ourselves a spa if we didn’t have actual spa services. These are more on the cosmetic side. They include manicures, pedicures, and waxing. We also offer lash lifts and lash tinting. After a day spent taking advantage of our spa services, you will leave feeling and looking great!

 

This, of course, is by no means a full comprehensive list of what we offer at our spa. It’s merely an overview of the different categories. If you want to se a full list, you can check it out on our Spa Menu page here.

 

What makes NIMA so special among spas in Utah?

Though the fact that our spa is run in part by students may make some people weary to give us a try, that very fact is also part of the reason why our spa is one of the best in Utah. But let’s explain a bit further.

 

The first thing to know about NIMA is that our spa is always filled with the most top of the line technology. Every piece of equipment that we use is the best you can find. We do this for a few reasons. Of course, one is that we want to give you the best service possible. Another is that we want our students to have the best experience backing them up.

 

Another thing to know about NIMA is that it is staffed, not just by students, but by experts in the field. We only hire the best of the best for our teachers. That way our students get a great education, and you get treatment guided by the best.

 

The final thing that makes NIMA so great is our prices. Even though are students can provide you with some of the best spa treatments around, we wouldn’t expect you to pay fully price to be essentially practiced on. So, with our fantastic pricing you get the best spa day available in Utah all for a low price.

 

So, you can see why the NIMA Institute ranks so high among the spas in Utah. We have a lot to offer but only charge fair prices. Why not book an appointment and indulge in a me day?

Peel off the Past

Posted on by Nima

The past is something that none of us can run away from. Sometimes you don’t want to run from your past because it brings you joy. Other times, like when you lathered your body in baby oil by the pool every day when you were a teen? Well, maybe you’d like to run away from that. Not that it was a terrible time but because of what it did to your skin. At the time you were youthful and had a glowing sun-kissed face. Now? Well, you’re here looking for a solution to the number the sun did on your skin. There is no fix-all when it comes to skin and that’s why there are many options available for you to choose from. One may work better than the other. We are here to help you decide what type of treatment may work better for your skin. In the specific article we will help you understand what chemical peels are. We’ll also explain each of our chemical peels in hopes that you choose NIMA to help you peel off the past.

Why peels?

Why choose a chemical peel? A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment. Our chemical peels range from mild to aggressive, depending on which you choose. Chemical peels cannot completely remove your unwanted scars, wrinkles, or tighten sagging skin, but they can improve the look at feel of them. We all want to be radiant and glowing. Sometimes they can help improve some of the luster that you lost. Peels aren’t for everyone, unfortunately, those who have very sensitive skin should consider a different type of treatment.

NIMA’s chemical peels

What type of peels do we offer here at NIMA? Well, take a look! If you don’t know which to choose, call us and we’ll schedule a consultation, free of charge.

Vitalize: If your skin is prone to acne, or is sun damaged, or needs some anti-aging, or you have melisma. The Vitalize Peel contains a proprietary blend of ingredients to help rejuvenate the skin.

TCA: Trichloroacetic Acid aka TCA peels are of medium depth and more aggressive than others. TCA’s are used to improve and control pigmentation, acne, and wrinkles.

Salicylic: This peel is great for acne prone skin. This one will detoxify the pores while absorbing excess oil and oxygenate the skin. Say goodbye to bad breakouts!

Rejuvenize: This peel treatment combines resorcinol, lactic, salicylic, and retinoic acid that gives positive effects in texture and tone. This process stimulates a 55% increase in collagen production, improves pigmentation, acne, and melisma. You’ll leave with renewed, glowing skin.

Pigment Balancing: This peel was made to brighten and lighten your skin pigmentation. Your skin will look more even and toned.

Lactic: Hyper pigmentation? No problem. This Lactic Acid Peel brightens the skin while providing peeling action. It will also moisturize, begin healing and will also protect the skin.

Glycolic: When we combine Glycolic and Lactic Acids, you’ll get some anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. This peel is infused with aloe vera, chamomile, ginseng, and orange blossom. This peel improves the skin appearance by minimizing fine lines and stimulating the cell turnover.

Chocolate: Antioxidant means anti-aging. In this chocolate peel we combine lactic acid, natural extracts from cocoa and acai berry. This combination is used to give anti-aging skin and restorative benefits.

Brightening: This is our most gentle peel. It is a one-hour long therapeutic peel made to be an effective exfoliation treatment, a deep cleanser, and will stimulate toning while giving the best hydration.

Advanced Corrective: This peel diminishes the appearance of discoloration amazingly. While doing that it also gives a smoothing texture and refines the appearance of pores. You will leave with a more radiant and clarified skin tone.

5 Berry Fruit: This peel is an effective photo-aging antioxidant therapy.  It prevents collagen destruction! This one is on the lighter side and is super refreshing. It has five different berries including cranberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, and bearberry.

We know, how do you choose from all of these great options? Well, give us a call for a free consultation. Our experts will be able to choose the best chemical peel for your skin needs.

Are there side effects?

Now, while chemical peels are generally safe there are some side effects that you should be aware of:

  • Redness/scabbing/swelling: The entire purpose of a chemical peel is to get your skin a fresh new look, however, it’s called a peel for a reason. You may experience some redness but that is only temporary. Scabbing and swelling may also occur but this will only happen if it is done incorrectly. 
  • Darkening/lightening of skin: This side effect is more common with people who have a darker skin tone.
  • Possible infection: Those who have the herpes simplex may get a flare-up post treatment. Those, of course, go away. There is a very rare possibility that you may get a bacterial or fungal infection.
  • Liver/heart/kidney damage: The phenol that is used in really deep chemical peels has been known to cause the muscles in the heart and kidney/liver damage. Again, this is a rare side effect.

Side effects are normal with any type of treatment. We didn’t use this to scare you but to make you aware and well educated on the matter. If we don’t think that you’re right for a certain treatment, we’ll let you know. We won’t leave you wishing you’d not gone through the chemical peel.

Peeling off the past, not the memories

We don’t actually want you to forget your teenage years of baby oil, we want you to feel great about leaving our spa in better condition than you came in. Here at NIMA we are dedicated to ensuring that our customers never have a bad experience and learn everything they can to make sure they maintain their skin care routine. If you’re wondering if a chemical peel is right for you, give us a call to set up your free consultation and then appointment. Besides peels, NIMA also offers CoolSculpting and lash lifts.

Why NIMA is the place to get a lash lift in Utah

Posted on by Nima

The trends in make-up these days lies pretty heavily on the eyelashes. This makes sense because lashes really can make or break a look. But because lashes are such a big deal these days, there are so many places that you can go to and get a lash lift, lash tint, or lash extensions. So, how can you be sure which one is the right one? Well, we can’t speak for other lash lift places in Utah. But we can say that NIMA is definitely one of the top places (if not actually the top place) to get your lashes done. Especially if it’s a lash lift that you’re looking for. But we don’t expect you to just take our word for it. Let’s talk a little bit about what NIMA has to offer in way of eyelash beauty.

What exactly is a lash lift?

Let’s start with a definition first. After all, not everyone knows all there is about eyelashes, so we want to be sure that a lash lift is what you’re looking for.

Our lashes grow pretty much straight out of our eyelids. This can sometimes block the eyes. While it doesn’t seem to affect our visibility, it doesn’t do much in the way of making the eyes look bigger or drawing attention to them. Some of us are lucky enough to have lashes that are naturally curly and curl upwards. This tends to have the effect of making the eyes look bigger and certainly draws more attention to them. But for most of us, it’s just the straight-out-of-the-eye eyelashes. That’s why eyelash curlers exist and why mascara brushes are round like that. The idea with those is that they lift and curl the eyelashes away from the eye.

But there are some problems with eyelash curlers and mascara. First is that they only last one day if you’re lucky. After a certain amount of time, the lashes just naturally uncurl and move back down. Plus, you don’t want to leave mascara on for too long otherwise your risk getting an infection in your eye. Not only that, but certain mascaras clump and make it very clear that you’re wearing mascara, making the “natural look” near impossible. Another issue is that the work of mascara and curlers tend to be undone by life. How many times have you rubbed your eye, forgetting you’re wearing make-up and smeared it all over your face? Isn’t it annoying? Plus, both of those methods take time. Not only that but they take time every day. You can, of course, skip it a day or two. But then you won’t have that lash lift that you’re looking for.

This is where cosmetic lash lifts come in. This treatment is often referred to as a “perm for your eyelashes.” It is a semi-permanent way to give your lashes that natural lift and curl that you’re looking for. It works by a technician curling your lashes using what is essentially a teeny tiny curling iron and a lifting agent. The treatment takes about an hour and lasts six to eight weeks (though it depends on how quickly your eyelashes grow). This mixture of a curl and lift makes your eyes look bigger and helps draw more attention to them.

Why does NIMA have the best lash lift in Utah?

There are so many reasons why NIMA is the place to get your lash lift in Utah. But for the sake of not wanting to ramble on for too long, we’ll only cover three of them.

The best beauty tech out there

The NIMA Institute is always on top of the latest and greatest in cosmetic technology. Our spa stays up to date on the latest techniques as well. So, you know you will always have a lash lift with the highest quality curling rods and lifting agents. There won’t be any worry about not getting your money’s worth when it comes to the equipment used.

Our spa is filled with experts

While we are an aesthetician school, our school is run by experts in their fields. This means that though your lash lift may be done by a student, that student will be taught and led by an expert in lashes. This means that the quality of your lash lift will be just as good as, if not better than, any other spa.

It’s the best bang for your buck

Because we are an aesthetician school, are prices are much lower than regular spas. We know that people don’t want to pay full price for something done as a learning exercise. So, we price accordingly. But don’t let those prices fool you. The quality of all of our treatments, especially our lash lifts, are the best you can find. This is due to the reasons listed above. We have the best equipment out there and our students are taught by the top professionals in each field. So, while you may not pay very much for your lash lift, you will still get the best quality service around.

We don’t just offer lash lifts. We also have our Deluxe Lash Life package. With this package you get our fantastic lash lift, but it also comes with a lash tint.

Can you get CoolSculpting for love handles?

Posted on by Nima

Love handles – that extra bit of fat that hangs around, just below your waistline and just above your hips on either side. While the name for them is sweet, there aren’t many of us who are thrilled to have them. They can make wearing anything that isn’t high-waisted a no-go. But the worst part about them? They never seem to go away. No matter how much dieting or how many crunches you may do, they are still there. But now that CoolSculpting has come into prominence, there may be a solution.

You may be hesitant because, let’s face it, CoolSculpting sounds too good to be true. But it really does work. You may also hesitate because the way that CoolSculpting is advertised, it seems like it is mainly for the limbs. Getting rid of flabby arms and thighs. But that doesn’t mean that CoolSculpting can’t work on love handles.

A quick explanation of CoolSculpting

Before we really jump into talk about CoolSculpting and love handles, it’s probably a good idea to go over what it is that makes CoolSculpting work.

Every kind of cells in the human body has a temperature that is its freezing point. When exposed to this temperature for too long, the cell will freeze and die. The interesting thing is that the freezing point varies from cell to cell. Some it only takes a little bit for them to freeze, others (like skin cells for example) can handle a lot more. Fat cells have one of the warmest temperatures for their freezing point. The temperature that kills them doesn’t really affect the cells around them. This is what CoolSculpting is based on. It’s the idea that if you expose fat cells to a particular temperature for long enough, it will kill the fat cells, but the other cells will be undamaged. So, when you get CoolSculpting done, the fat in the area that you choose will be exposed to that temperature for a certain period of time, killing the fat cells while leaving the skin and muscle alone.

It’s probably a good idea for us to explain just how a CoolSculpting session works, that way you know what to expect. Every CoolSculpting session begins with the prep. This mainly consists of the CoolSculpting technician getting everything ready and putting the protective pad into place on the desired area (generally called the target area). There’s no need to be alarmed by the idea of a protective pad. CoolSculpting is considered safe in general. However, it’s always a good idea of have an added layer of protection to help ensure that safety. Then the technician will put the actual CoolSculpting applicator in place on the target area and switch it on.

The applicator will run for a previously determined amount of time, generally spanning from 15 to 45 minutes. There are two things to know about the time that the applicator is running. One is that you may experience a pinching or a tugging feeling in the target area. This isn’t anything to be alarmed about. Those feelings are normal, and they will eventually fade as the area becomes numb (that numbness will also fade a little while after the session is over, it’s also not something to worry about). The other thing to know about this time is that you can do whatever you want. The only thing that is expected of you is that you stay seated in the CoolSculpting chair, so the applicator doesn’t move. But other than that, you can read, work, nap, or scroll through your phone. The time is yours.

Once the session is over, the technician will turn the applicator off and remove it and the pad. After that, they will message the target area, which breaks up the frozen cells and helps jump start the process that gets rid of the dead cells. Once all of that is done, you can go back to whatever else your day has in store. This is one of the major draws of CoolSculpting. There is no recovery time with this treatment. Once your session is over you can leave and go home, or to work, or to wherever. This is partially because, unlike most other weight loss treatments, CoolSculpting is not invasive, so there isn’t really anything to recover from.

Does CoolSculpting work for love handles?

So, now that we’ve covered how CoolSculpting works, let’s get into whether or not CoolSculpting works on love handles.

The short answer to this is, yes, CoolSculpting works just about anywhere, so it will definitely work on love handles. It will work basically anywhere (that isn’t your face) that you can get a pinch-full of fat. This means you can get it done on love handles, the stomach, the arms, the thighs, the chin, and the back. Just about anywhere that you may have unwanted fat.

However, when you are considering getting CoolSculpting done, there are a couple of things you should remember. One is that CoolSculpting doesn’t work on those who have been diagnosed with obesity. It is better for people who are just almost at the weight that they want to be but need some help. The other thing is that CoolSculpting can be unsafe for those who have conditions that make them extra sensitive to the cold. So, if you have a condition like that, you shouldn’t get CoolSculpting done.

If neither of the things list above describe you, then you should set up a consultation with us here at the NIMA Institute. This consultation is free of charge and obligation. During, you and one of our CoolSculpting technicians will got through what to expect from the treatment, what areas you may want to get treated, how long your sessions will last, and how many sessions you may need. Then after that, you’re good to go. You can either get started with your CoolSculpting or just let it go as a question answered. Either way, we hope you leave our facility feeling even better about yourself than before. What’s the price of CoolSculpting?

Carefree CoolSculpting

Sit back and relax. We will take care of you! What do we mean? What is CoolSculpting? CoolSculpting is a treatment that helps you get rid of unwanted fat. Fat can be so bothersome and can take a real toll on your self-confidence. There are many people that embrace their fat, and that is just fine, as long as they are healthy right? Our goal is to help those who have gotten to the healthy part but just aren’t happy with particular areas in which fat has settled and will not go away. Whether it be on the abdomen or even on the knees, we have got it under control. But this probably is not enough information to convince you. In this article we will happily explain what CoolSculpting is, how it works and how you will see results. We want your results to leave you confident and ready to take on the world.

CoolSculpting: a definition

CoolSculpting is a new technology that gets rid of stubborn fat in some areas. CoolSculpting is a non-intrusive treatment with no downtime at all. Yes, you heard that right, no down time! It is also one of the only FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved fat removal procedures. It works by using controlled intense cooling to find those difficult fat cells. It then kills the fat cells by freezing them. Once those annoying fat cells are frozen, your body naturally gets rid of them. This doesn’t happen overnight and is not a “get rid of fat quick” treatment.

When you arrive at your appointment after having a consultation where you and your CoolSculpting consultant will have decided where as well as how many sessions you’ll be needing in that particular area. Our CoolSculpting device will be put on the area that was chosen. All you need to do is sit back and try to relax while the machine does the work for you. In the beginning you may feel an intense cooling sensation and a bit of tugging/pulling. After a while you won’t be able to feel it at all as some of our clients say. During the treatment, our clients will often read, listen to music, watch a movie on their phone/laptop or even take a nap. After your session you’ll be able to straight back to your daily routine.

So, what is CoolSculpting? Basically, CoolSculpting in a non-invasive way to get rid of fat. Why should you choose CoolSculpting though? Does it really work? What are the side effects? Am I a good candidate for CoolSculpting? Let’s find out together.

What side effects will I feel?

There are always side effects to most treatments. However, the side effects you will feel when it comes to CoolSculpting are minimal and temporary. Here are some side effects you may feel during and then after your treatment.

During: pinching, numbness, deep pulling, tugging, or discomfort.

After: temporary numbness, bruising, firmness, redness, swelling, tingling, stinging or pain.

We need to make sure that you are aware that CoolSculpting is not for everybody. Those who have cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria should not go through the CoolSculpting process. It should also be noted that it is not a treatment for Obesity. We want to ensure that CoolSculpting is the right choice for you and your body so that is why we have free consultations to make sure that your CoolSculpting experience is the best choice for you.

How long until I lose fat?

This is a common question, and the answer is not what you think it is. The answer depends on how many sessions you go through and where/how large the area you get done. Some clients may see results as quickly as three weeks. However, we here at NIMA have noticed that most clients see results around two months. Your body may even continue to get rid of those dead fat cells up for up to six months. All of this basically depends on the client’s body type and the amount of fat cells that are being killed and then flushed out. Everybody is different and so each result and how long they will take are different as well.

Are there other options?

After hearing about CoolSculpting it is common to wonder what else you could do to lose fat. There are many other options that you can choose from. Before you try any of these options, we suggest doing the hardest of them all: diet and exercise. We know that it can be so hard to get yourself on a diet and do the work of exercising. However, it is the most natural way to lose fat. These options of losing fat should be the last resort! A lot of them cost quite a bit of money and have a lot of down time that you may not have in your busy life. So, here are a few other options to remove unwanted fat: Liposuction, radiofrequency lipolysis or vanquish, TruSculpt, Kybella (we also offer Kybella). However, Kybella is specifically made for “double chins” and is not an all over body treatment like these other options. Most of these fat loss options are intrusive and can leave scarring and you’ll have to go under general anesthesia. While some of these will leave you with the fat gone immediately (like liposuction) it will require you to heal and lay low for a while. This is why we push CoolSculpting because it is non-invasive and requires no down-time! However, you must be patient to see your results.

Become carefree with CoolSculpting

Having unwanted fat can be embarrassing and annoying when you want it gone. And sometimes after diet and exercise there is no way to get rid of that stubborn fat. CoolSculpting technology is top-tier and here at NIMA we are experts in the treatment. We want you to feel your best, so, with some CoolSculpting and a little patience, we’re sure you will love your results. What are you waiting for? But how much does CoolSculpting cost?
