What to know about NIMA as an aesthetic school

Posted on by Nima

When looking into aesthetician schools, especially in Utah and Nevada, there is one thing that you will notice very quickly; there are a lot of schools to pick from. This can make choosing one a very difficult thing to do. How do you find the right one for you? Well, while we can’t say for sure that NIMA is the absolute right aesthetic school for you, we can say that it is a pretty awesome one. So, to help illustrate what NIMA can do for you to help further your aesthetics career, let’s talk about some of the important things to know about it.

We offer several different courses.

The world of beauty and aesthetics is always changing. Between new trends and new technology, there is always something to learn. And we want our graduates to be ready for that. One of the biggest things that should be noted about the NIMA Institute is that we offer a wide range of courses, so that our students a better prepared for both the aesthetic worlds of today and tomorrow.

Here is a brief overview of the courses we offer:

Advanced Aesthetics

Our Advanced Aesthetics courses are a great way to learn all about the current crazes in the beauty world, so that once you’re finished, you can jump right into your work. These courses range from Vampire Facials to Classic Lash Extensions to Microblading.

Aesthetics Licensure

If you’re looking to be licensed either in Utah or Nevada, then you are in the right place. We offer full Aesthetics Licensure courses for both states. In Nevada it is a 900-hour course. In Utah, you have a few more options. You can do a 1200-hour, 750-hour, or online course. You can pick which ever one fits your schedule and lifestyle best.

Comprehensive Laser

We also offer a separate Comprehensive Laser course. This a perfect option for those who are already well established in their aesthetician career but are looking for a good way to advance it. In this course, you will learn about a number of different laser-involved aesthetic techniques. This includes laser hair removal and laser skin rejuvenation.

Cosmetic Administrations

There are three main Cosmetic Administrations course that we offer. The first two are Comprehensive Cosmetic Administrations and Advanced Cosmetic Administration. Both of these are focused on administering cosmetics in a bit more of a general sense. The third is PDO Threading. This is a process where a special kind of thread is used to help give the face a lift and temporarily get rid of lines and wrinkles. With this course, you will learn all about the process and how to do it.

Therapeutic Administrations

We also offer courses that are more focused on the therapeutic side of the aesthetics. These courses include different Vampire treatments and Sexual Rejuvenation therapies. These courses, like the Comprehensive Laser courses, are a good choice for aestheticians who are looking to learn about the newest therapies and technologies to further their careers.

We are fully accredited

Unfortunately, some aesthetic schools go for flash and price and ignore one of the most important parts of their job. That is the substance. Many of these schools don’t have the proper accreditation and as a result, many employers don’t view certification from these schools as anything worth noting.

But this isn’t the case with the NIMA Institute. We are a fully accredited aesthetic school. Our 750-hour and 1200-hour Aesthetic Licensure courses are nationally accredited with the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences (NACCAS). We also have accreditation with the Better Business Bureau with an “A+” rating. The NIMA Institute is a member of the Utah Medical Association, the International Aesthetic and Laser Association (IALA), and the American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS) and is deeply involved in each of these organizations.

These are just a few examples of the accreditation that we hold and the organizations that we are a part of. To see a full list, you can check out our accreditation page here.

Other reasons to love NIMA

If the above sections aren’t enough to convince you to check out the NIMA Institute, here are a few extra reasons why NIMA could be the place for you:

Expertise = success

Our teachers are experts in their fields. They know all there is to know about what their teaching. This means that you will be more prepared for the real world, because you will have the best knowledge out there to back you up.

We give you hands-on experience

Our courses are very hands-on. Between in-class demonstrations and the spa, you will be able to get a chance to try everything you’re learning before you go out into the real world. This means that you will be a step above anyone else who merely learned the theory.

You will have access to the latest tools and tech

Not only will you get to practice what you’re learning hands-on, but you will also do so with the most up to date technology and tools. This way, when you get to your new dream job, you will be ready to work with everything they have.

Learn and take a vacation in Vegas

While our main campus is in Utah, we also have a campus in Las Vegas. So, if you get tired of all the snow while taking classes this winter, you can put in for a transfer to our Vegas campus. There you will get the same quality education, but you’ll be surrounded by sand, sun, and fun!

So, those are some of the biggest things to know about the NIMA Institute. There is a reason why we are such a popular aesthetic school as you can see. If you’re ready to get started in changing or advancing your career, then contact us. We will answer any questions you have and be able to tell you if you qualify for financing. It’s never too late to be happy in your work! One of our services is CoolSculpting, check it out!

Is CoolSculpting effective?

Posted on by Nima

When you first hear about CoolSculpting, it’s not entirely unreasonable to be skeptic. In fact, most people downright think it’s a scam. And, in all honesty, it makes sense why people would have a hard time believing it, because it does sound farfetched. But that doesn’t mean that it isn’t real. CoolSculpting is actually quite incredible. Not only does it get rid of fat, but it does in a way that is safe and effective. Since we at the NIMA Institute are dedicated to education, we want to make sure our clients know exactly what the treatments we offer are. So, let’s explain exactly how CoolSculpting works and how to tell if it’s working.

How does CoolSculpting work?

CoolSculpting is based on a very interesting fact about fat cell; they have a much warmer freezing temperature than basically any other cell around them. This means that while a particular temperature will kill fat cells, it will leave skin and muscle cells alone. That is the driving force behind CoolSculpting. That is why it’s always referred to as a way to “freeze fat.” Because you are doing exactly that. You are freezing away fat. The process consists of exposing a chosen area, called the target area, to the temperature that kills fat. When the area is exposed to the cold for long enough, it kills the fat cells, but leaves the other tissue more-or-less untouched.

But we can’t explain how CoolSculpting works without also touching on how a CoolSculpting session works. These sessions are not terribly complicated but explaining them will help give you a better idea of how this process works.

A CoolSculpting session always begins with the CoolSculpting technician placing a protective pad over the target area. This is a very important step, because even thought CoolSculpting is considered to be very safe and is even one of the few weight loss treatments approved by the Food and Drug Administration, it is still good to have this little piece of added protection. After everything is prepped and ready, the technician will place the CoolSculpting applicator in place on your target area and then they will turn it on. The applicator will stay in place for a predetermined period of time, generally ranging from 15 to 45 minutes. During that time, you may notice a cold feeling (of course), but you may also notice a pinching and tugging feeling. That feeling will eventually go away as the target area will start to numb. That numbing sensation is totally normal and will eventually fade a little while after the session is over. Also, during this time there isn’t anything that you have to do. You can just sit back and relax. Once the time is up, the technician will remove the pad and the applicator. Then they will briefly message the target area. This helps break up the frozen cells and gets the body’s attention, so that it knows that there are dead cells to get rid of.

This is where we get to what is one of the biggest draws of CoolSculpting. When each of your sessions are over, you can go back to your life. There isn’t any requirement for recovery time. Because CoolSculpting isn’t intrusive and works as safely as it does, there is no down time associated with it. When your session is done, you can go back to work, back to running errands, or back to whatever you were doing before.

While CoolSculpting is safe and doesn’t require any downtime, you may see some side effects of the treatment. These are usually very mild. They tend to be things like redness, swelling, or even bruising in the target area. As you can see, these aren’t very serious. Plus, they tend to fade fairly quickly.

How do I know if it’s working?

Now that we’ve covered how CoolSculpting does what it does, let’s talk about how you can know that it is working.

The first thing to know is that CoolSculpting doesn’t have an immediate effect. It takes time. Your body is always trying to balance several different functions. This means that getting rid of dead cells isn’t always a priority. So, it may take a little while for the body to get rid of the cells that the CoolSculpting has killed. At first, it may not seem like the treatment is working, as you won’t see an immediate result. In fact, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to four months for you to see any real result from your treatments. The amount of time it takes depends on where the CoolSculpting is done (for example, under the chin may be a lot faster than the thighs), how many sessions you did, and how much fat is in the area.

Unfortunately, there is no way to know if it’s working until the result start to show. But CoolSculpting does work for most people. There are a few people who either can’t or shouldn’t get CoolSculpting done. The ones who can’t are those who have been diagnosed with obesity. CoolSculpting is specifically designed for people who are just about to their desired weight, but just need a little bit of help getting rid of those last pockets of stubborn fat that don’t go away no matter how much dieting and exercise they do. It will not work if there is too much fat. The people who should not get CoolSculpting are those who have any sort of condition that makes them susceptible to the cold. If you’re not sure if you can or should get CoolSculpting done, you should talk to your doctor. They will be able to help you figure out if it’s the right choice for you.

So, is CoolSculpting effective? You bet it is! It just may be a little while before you get to see how effective it is. But if you’re patient you will see some really incredible results. If you’re ready to start freezing away the fat, then you should set up your free consultation with us here at the NIMA Institute. It’s the first step in getting rid of that stubborn fat.

Spa Day, the NIMA way

Posted on by Nima

Whether it be a full-body treatment including nails and hair or if a simple lash-lift will suffice, either way, NIMA is the place to be when you want to relax and come out feeling like you’ve got a spotlight on you. How do we do spa day at NIMA? Well, that all truly depends on you. What do you need to get done? What are you wanting to try? What service is most important to you?

Some of our treatments require a consultation before (CoolSculpting) while others only require an appointment for you and your pals. We want each client to leave feeling better and brighter than when they got here. How can we help you with your perfect spa day? Let’s find out together.

Spa day, your way (with our help)

Like we said before, we want you to come out of your perfect spa day with a glow. How can we help you do that? Why should you choose NIMA? Well, NIMA is not only a spa but is also an institute of aesthetics. What does this have to do with our spa? Well, we only have the best working at our spa. And how do we know that? Because we taught them! Our masters of all things spa have made sure that each of our employees have the right knowledge to ensure a positive experience. There is nothing worse than going in for a facial and coming out looking worse than when you came in, so, we’ve got the right products and the right people to ensure that your spa day is better than ever before. We’ll never pressure you into adding a service that you don’t want or need. Our staff will listen to all of your needs so that you are fully satisfied with your time here at NIMA. So, before you book your first appointment, we want you to take a look at our service menu to choose what you’d like to do. Here is a more in-depth look at our services.

Pick and choose: spa day edition

Here are a few things that our spa offers that you may be interested in adding to your spa day with the girl/guys.

Nice Nails:

Manicure: A relaxing hand and arm massage followed by a paraffin treatment that will leave your hands feeling soft and smooth. 

Spa Pedicure: Just like our manicure, you’ll be given a massage on the feet and legs, followed by a paraffin treatment with our spa pedicure.

Seasonal Deluxe Pedicure: Pretty nails, with the smell of the season. This is a great way to get in the seasonal mood. A sugar scrub filled with the smell of the season is followed by a hot stone massage. You’ll leave feeling more positive for the events of the season.

Bye, bye hair:

Waxing: Unwanted body hair? Say bye-bye! Here at NIMA we offer waxing on most body parts of guys and gals. Waxing is a great alternative to shaving as you won’t have to do it as often and your hair will come back thinner and softer each time you wax!

All things lashes:

Tinting: Some folks were born with very dark eyebrows and lashes, well, aren’t they lucky ones? We offer brow and lash tinting here at NIMA.

Lash Lift: What is a lash lift? A lash lift is what we call a perm for your eyelashes. Your lashes will be lifted and curled from anywhere between six and eight weeks.

Deluxe Lash Life: This treatment will make your eyes pop! Add the last lift and a lash tint and ta-da! The lashes you’ve been wanting. No one will question your eyelashes after this treatment.

What about the ‘bod’?

Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about your rockin’ bod. We offer an array of different body treatments. That will leave you feeling refreshed from head-to-toe.

Relaxing Back Treatment: It feels impossible to get your back as clear as you want. Well, with our relaxing back treatment, you just might. We use a deep pore cleansing and then steam to lift impurities. Once those impurities are lifted, we gently extract them. Here comes the best part: a relaxing massage followed by a treatment masque customized to you. Say goodbye back-acne.

Sugar Body Polish: Dry skin can be such a bother. Let’s get rid of that dead skin and show the glowing underneath. Our exfoliating polish cleanses and invigorated the skin to leave it feeling glowing and smoother than ever before. After the body polish, we’ll make sure to give your skin the moisture it needs with a refreshing hydrator. You’ll walk out feeling brand-new.

M’Lis Cellulite Wrap: Cellulite is totally natural. Waste and toxins get trapped in these tissues of the body and cause cellulite. However, this doesn’t mean you need to live with it forever.  Our unique treatment of niacin and natural ingredients helps to stop and reverse the way that cellulite forms. It does this by helping get the body’s natural lymph elimination functions moving and grooving.

These are just a couple of different body treatments that we offer. We also offer these others: Hydrating Mud Wrap, Hot Stone Therapy, Body Blemish Peel, and Ayurvedic Body Treatment. Whatever type of spa day you’re wanting we want to be your first choice in a spa. With all of our services we are sure you’ll find something that you like. Spay day the NIMA way is Spa day your own way! Be sure to check out our spa page to see what we have for you in all the departments or learn more about CoolSculpting. Once you find what you’re looking for, give us a call to set up an appointment.

CoolSculpting, Lasers, and Peels: what is NIMA all about?

Posted on by Nima

What is NIMA? Who is NIMA? What are all these technical terms? What is NIMA really all about? These are all great questions that we want to answer for you. NIMA is an Institute of aesthetics that caters to many different people in many different ways. Our mission is to “We create career opportunities for our clients by drawing from our retail industry success to deliver customized hands-on education & business strategy solutions.” Of course, this is just our mission statement, but we want to do much more than that. That’s why although we are educators, we also have a Spa at NIMA. Our spa has a lot to offer each and every one that walks to through the door.  Our NIMA client services team is chalk full of nothing but the best. We want our clients to be well informed about our services so that they are able to choose the right treatments for them. So, let’s learn a little about NIMA, shall we?

Popular Services

We have quite a few popular services that you may be interested in. One of them is our CoolSculpting service. CoolSculpting is a treatment that removes fat cells from certain areas of the body that you can’t get rid of. This treatment is for stubborn fat. That fat that just won’t go away even after all the hard work you’ve put into diet and exercise. You can find this annoying fat in the abdomen, back, arms, and even your knees. CoolSculpting is one of the few FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved fat removal service. That stamp of approval is critical to remember because a lot of fat removal treatments don’t have this approval.

So, how does CoolSculpting work? After your free consultation here at NIMA, you will be set up with several sessions. We will also determine how long those sessions will be. During each session, you will have our CoolSculpting machine placed on the area(s) we deem you needed. Your job is to just sit back and relax. The sensation of the CoolSculpting treatment in the process may be uncomfortable at first, but most of our clients say they end up getting used to it. Most clients will read, do some work, or even take a nap during their session. After your session, you can get back to your regular schedule. Head back to your job or go on home to do whatever else you had planned for the day. That’s right, no down time necessary!

This seems too good to be true, right? Well, here is how CoolSculpting technically works. The CoolSculpting machine we place on the area that we both determine needs the treatment uses extreme cooling and while it is pulling to freeze fat cells and the fat cells alone. Once the fat cells are frozen, your body naturally flushes them away. Once those fat cells have been diminished, they won’t and can’t ever come back. If you end up gaining some weight it won’t be able to settle in the area that was treated by CoolSculpting. During your session(s) you may feel pinching, numbness, deep pulling, tugging, or discomfort. But, like we said before, our clients have said they get used to the feeling of the treatment. Yes, you are able to leave and do whatever after your session but, you may feel temporary numbness, bruising, tingling, stinging, firmness, redness, pain, or swelling. Most of these side effects don’t last long but there are some rare side effects that could happen. 

CoolSculpting is just one of our more popular services, and we hope that we’ve explained why. We want you to feel and look your very best. If you’ve got that annoying fat you just can’t seem to get rid of, perhaps you should give CoolSculpting a try. Give us a call to set up your free consultation.

Lasers and Peels, oh my!

CoolSculpting is not the only thing we do here at NIMA. Like we said, we offer a lot of different services. From Laser Hair Removal to Full body services. Your new spa day at NIMA will give you many things to choose from. Here are a few more popular services you may want to give a go:

Laser Hair Removal: Don’t worry, it sounds far scarier than it actually is. Laser hair removal is a great alternative to shaving or waxing. You can get this treatment done on several areas of the body. Like the chin, legs, underarms, bikini area, your back, etc. Anywhere that you grow hair, you can get laser hair removal there. Yes, it is safe! Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment. Because it is a non-invasive treatment it has a low risk of giving you a negative reaction. When performed by highly trained specialists (like us here at NIMA) the really bad side effects from laser hair removal are uncommon. Every time you get laser hair removal your hair follicles will begin to become damaged or will die completely. This means less hair or more thin hair. No shaving? That sounds good to us!

Peels: NIMA chemical peels range from mild to aggressive. Chemical peels are one of the best anti-aging treatments and benefit your skin in numerous ways. Peels are another one of our more popular treatments. We know that you’ve done your very best to take care of your skin (besides the summer you spent lathering your body and face in baby oil). We get that life happens and sometimes you need a little help getting back to a former self. That is why we offer many different chemical peels to get your face rejuvenated and glowing. If you have a peel in mind, great! If not, give us a call and we’ll help you choose the best one for you.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation: Another way to get your skin looking top-tier and almost pre-baby oil days, is Laser Skin Rejuvenation. Yes, another laser treatment! However, instead of zapping hairs, this treatment helps zap acne scars, fine lines, large pores, those pesky sunspots, you name it. Laser Skin Rejuvenation will be able to help you get back to glowing, youthful skin.

What is NIMA all about?

Here at NIMA we want you to be well educated about what treatment you’re getting. We also want you to feel better walking out of our spa than you did walking in. It’s all about the confidence our treatments may give you if you give them a chance. What are you waiting for?

NIMA: The place to get CoolSculpting in Salt Lake City

Posted on by Nima

CoolSculpting is hot right now. While that sounds like an oxymoron it’s still true. CoolSculpting is a big deal, with tons of people getting done. But where should you get CoolSculpting done in Salt Lake City? Is there even a place to get CoolSculpting done here? Because let’s face it, we are a city, but we’re a small one. We don’t always have everything that larger cities do. But there are a few different places that you can get CoolSculpting done in SLC. The best one is the NIMA Institute. 

 

Admittedly, since that is us, we’re a little biased. But we’re willing to prove to you that we are the best place to get CoolSculpting done in the whole Salt Lake Valley. And that’s exactly what this article aims to do. So, let’s get started. 

 

What exactly is CoolSculpting? 

Let’s start with some education first. After all, that’s what we’re all about at the NIMA Institute. So, let’s give an overview of what CoolSculpting is and how it works. 

 

You’ve probably heard about CoolSculpting in ads where they talk about “freezing away fat.” While that sounds too good to be true, it actually is true. Every kind of cell in the body has its own temperature where it freezes and dies. Usually, these temperatures vary from cell type to cell type. Fat cells freeze at a high (i.e., warmer) temperature than the cells around them, mainly skin and muscle. The idea is that if you expose the fat cells to that temperature for a certain amount of time, the fat cells will die, but the other cells will be left alone. This is what CoolSculpting is, killing fat cells in a way that’s safe for the rest of the body. 

 

The way that CoolSculpting treatments go is part of the reason why it is so popular. Each of your CoolSculpting sessions will start with the technician placing a protective pad on the target area. This pad is an added piece of protection, because, though CoolSculpting is considered safe, it is always a good idea to make sure that everything is a safe as possible. Then the technician will put the CoolSculpting applicator in place (on top of the protective pad) and turn it on. The applicator will run for a specific amount of time, during which many people read or nap. During this time, you may notice an odd sensation of tugging or pinching. This is completely normally and not something to worry about. The sensation will soon go away as the area may become numb. This also normal and will also go away a little while after the session is over. Once the time is up, the technician will turn off the applicator, remove it and the pad, and message the target area. The messaging is done to help start up the breaking down process that gets rid of the fat cells. Then you are ready to go. 

 

That last part is actually one of the biggest draws of CoolSculpting out of all of the other weight loss procedures. Because CoolSculpting is not invasive and does virtually no damage to anything on the body but the fat, there is no recovery time. There is no need to take time off or anything like that. You can just go from your CoolSculpting session to the rest of your day. 

 

But there are, of course, things that should be noted about CoolSculpting. One is that it may take a while for it to take effect. You have to allow time for your body to notice that the cells are dead and to get rid of them. How long it takes for CoolSculpting to take effect depends on a few factors, including how many sessions you need, how long those sessions last, and how much fat is in the target area. It can take anywhere from a few weeks to four months to see any real effects, so you will need to be patient. 

 

One more thing that you should be aware of in reference to CoolSculpting is that it doesn’t work for everyone. There are some people on whom the treatment could be unsafe or just won’t work. CoolSculpting is designed with people who are close to their ideal weight but are struggling with some stubborn fat. This means that it will not work for those who have been diagnosed with obesity. There are certain conditions, especially those that make you more susceptible to the cold, that make CoolSculpting unsafe for some. If you’re not sure if CoolSculpting is safe for you, be sure to consult your doctor. 

 

Why get it done at NIMA? 

Now that we’ve covered what CoolSculpting is, let’s talk about what make the NIMA Institute the perfect place to get it done. 

 

The first reason is that we offer free, obligation-free consultations. You can schedule a meeting with one of our many CoolSculpting experts and learn more about CoolSculpting. During this consultation, you will also learn if you are eligible for CoolSculpting, what your target areas may be, how many sessions you may need, and how long those session should be. After this meeting, you can decide whether or not you even want to get the CoolSculpting done. If you don’t, no worries. You won’t get any pressure from us. But if you do, we’re sure you will be satisfied with the results. 

 

The other reason why you should choose NIMA for CoolSculpting is that we are one of the top CoolSculpting providers in the whole country. Not only that but we are the top CoolSculpting provider in the entirety of Utah. We’re among the leading experts in CoolSculpting so you will always know that you are getting it done right with us. 

 

So, while you may have some choices for CoolSculpting in Salt Lake City, it’s pretty easy to see why choosing the NIMA Institute is a good choice. And we offer so much more than just CoolSculpting. We are a spa, after all. So, no matter what kind of beauty treatment you’re after, NIMA is the right place for you. Can you get CoolSculpting on arms?

NIMA Institute: the most comprehensive spa in SLC

Posted on by Nima

There are a lot of different spas out there. Many of them claim to offer the most diverse range of treatments you can find. But we here at the NIMA Institute think that they may be exaggerating. Yes, they may offer a few different varieties of facials and messages, but rarely do you have as many options with them as you do here. This is because we’re not just a spa, we’re also a school. We train future aestheticians, so we make sure that there are as many different treatment and techniques to teach as possible, that way they can be prepared for whatever is thrown at them in their future jobs. This also means some good things for you. It means that you have a plethora of treatments to choose from, all for much more reasonable prices than anywhere else. That’s what makes us the most comprehensive spa in Salt Lake City. 

 

What treatments we offer 

But we’re not all talk. We want to show you what kind of treatments we offer at our SLC spa. So, here is a list of some of what we offer: 

 

HydraFacials 

Let’s start with our HydraFacials. This is an exfoliating process designed to gently unclog your pores using suction. It will leave your skin glowing and nice and moisturized. Of course, we also offer HydraFacial plus. This is essentially the same process, but with the addition of serums that are designed to give your skin a bit of a boost. 

 

Microneedling 

This treatment is designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin on your face. It helps decrease wrinkles, pores, and fine lines. It can even help with reducing scars and stretch marks. On top of this you can also get a gel peel. That chemical peel helps improve your skin’s brightness and texture. Or you can get a Vitalize peel to go along with your Microneedling. That peel helps with acne and exfoliates the skin. We also offer a Rejuvenize peel with our Microneedling. With this peel you can see even more reduction in the lines on your face and even more improvement in the overall texture of your skin. 

 

Botox & Dysport 

You may already be familiar with Botox, as it’s a pretty well-known treatment, but we also offer Dysport, which is a similar process. They are injections that relax the movement of the muscles in your face, helping get rid of wrinkles temporarily. These results last for up to six months. The treatments are quick and don’t require any downtime. 

 

Dermal fillers 

We offer several different dermal fillers to help you with whatever you like. We do fillers for lips, jaws, and cheeks. We even offer dermal fillers for scar correction. No matter what you’re interested in, our skilled injectors will be able to offer you the best treatment possible. 

 

CoolSculpting 

This is one of our most popular treatments here at the NIMA Institute. It is freezing away fat. While that sounds farfetched, it is actually quite effective. Fat freezes at a higher temperature than any of the surrounding tissue. This means that if you expose a fatty area to that temperature, it will kill the fat, but leave the surrounding areas alone. This treatment is quick, effective, and requires no downtime. Call for a free consultation here.

 

Sublime skin contouring 

Now, let’s talk about our many laser treatments, starting with Sublime skin contouring. This treatment is made to help you get rid of that saggy skin. The laser treatment heats up the skin and stimulates the cells. This causes a rejuvenation in the skin, firming it up.  

 

Venus skin contouring 

Another laser treatment that we offer is Venus skin contouring. This one, instead of perking up sagging skin, helps you get rid of that pesky cellulite. It uses radio frequency to reduce cellulite and wrinkles. It even tightens up the skin. 

 

IPL Photofacial 

Did you go tanning too much as a teenager with too little sunscreen and are now having to deal with sun damaged skin? Then IPL Photofacial could be a solution for you. It helps reduce the clarity of sunspots, freckles, and rosacea. 

 

eMatrix 

This is yet another laser treatment that utilizes radio frequency technology. But this one is focused more on wrinkles in general, instead of cellulite. The heat in the skin created by the radio frequencies helps improve the texture and tone of your skin. It also may help with por and fine line reduction as well. 

 

Laser hair removal 

This is another treatment that you may have heard of before since it’s so popular. Laser hair removal is, of course, using a laser to safely get rid of unwanted hair for good. You won’t have to shave, wax, thread, or sugar scrub again after this. 

 

More facials

Fabulous Facials

Posted on by Nima

Ah, facials. Facials can be a wonderful addition to any at-home spa day. While the sheet masks are fun every now and then, what good do they really do? They can help in many ways but in the long run they don’t do a whole lot. We don’t want you to shy away from a fun spa day at home with your girlfriends, but we want to show you that there are other facials that can do some real good to your skin. Here at NIMA we offer a variety of different facials that you may not be able to find anywhere else. Each facial does something different for the skin all while letting you relax. A great facial can make your skin look brand new and help you gain the glow that you’ve been looking for.  

 

A facial fit for you 

Each skin type is different and therefore has different needs. The facials we have can help with acne, uneven pigmentation, and much more. Here is a list of the facials we have to offer: 

 

  • Vitamin C Plus: This particular facial is used for aging and those who have sensitive skin. This is a peel treatment followed with a masque which is infused with Vitamin C. Your skin will be left feeling more firm. This facial will increase cellular turnover to get rid of dry skin cells. The vitamin C plus facial will leave you with a glow.    
  • Seasonal Deluxe: This facial hydrates and exfoliates to give your skin the luminousness it deserves. Your senses will be embellished with a seasonal body cream and facial masque. Think your at-home spa day times ten.  
  • Rosacea: Rosacea is something that many people struggle with every day. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about and we can help you look and feel better with our Rosacea treatment. This treatment is used to reduce redness and inflammation. It also calms while giving strength to the capillary walls that cause rosacea. This calming treatment is something to be excited about.    
  • Reconditioning and Firming: The world around is not kind to the skin and nor is the aging process. Our reconditioning and firming facial will leave your skin feeling regenerated and fresh. If your skin is dry, dull and or aging, this treatment is for you. We’ll renew your cells with all of the nutrients, hydration, and the firming properties of Vitamin C. This facial is for anyone that needs a little pick-me-up in the skin department.    
  • NIMA Signature: Ah, yes, our signature facial! It is a European facial that starts with a strong cleansing. Then we exfoliate to show your shining skin. Then we customize a masque and a nutrient dense moisturizer. It’s called the NIMA signature for a reason, trust us.  
  • Microdermabrasion: This is our favorite type of exfoliation. There are three different types of microdermabrasion that we customize to your skin’s needs for the best possible results. Microdermabrasion is made to help the look of fine lines, the beginning signs of aging, and hyperpigmentation.   
  • Microcurrent: Aging is a pain and microcurrent may be able to assist you. Microcurrent is made to reduce aging signs. It is a non-invasive treatment that helps lift up tissues and facial muscles. It also improves hydration and circulation that overall helps rejuvenate the skin.   
  • LED: Generally, the idea of skin and the light is negative but, not in this case. This light therapy facial may help reduce wrinkles, acne, and hyperpigmentation. While reducing these things, LED facials also improve production of elasticity and collagen of the skin. Let the light illuminate the skin!   
  • Hyperpigmentation: Everyone’s skin is different and has been through different types of damage. This facial may help improve the look of sunspots and the texture of the skin to show a smoother and glowing skin.     
  • Gentlemen’s Spa: Spa days aren’t just for the ladies, men, step in line! This facial helps to prevent ingrown hairs (we all hate those) and will be customized to each person’s needs. The Gentlemen’s spa is wrapped with a shoulder and neck massage. Treat yourself, gentlemen!   
  • Dermasound: This high-tech ultrasonic facial feels out of this world. Dermasound uses low frequency sound waves to exfoliate the skin to create positive changes in the texture and tone of your skin. Skin that is a bit more sensitive to other facials will even benefit from Dermasound.  
  • Age Management: Aging, everyone has got to go through it. We combine alpha hydroxyl acids, skin balancing and exfoliating ingredients that may help you achieve a younger appearance of tone and texture. We cannot reverse the clock, but this facial may be able to help you.  
  • Acne Power Treatment: Acne is a real pain in the neck. Luckily, we have the right tools to help. We use Dermasound technology along with a salicylic peel to help clear those pesky marks. All a while this will also help prevent further breakouts. You’ll leave with skin that is ready to take on the world, without acne.

How does CoolSculpting work on the arms?

Posted on by Nima

Dealing with flabby arms can be so frustrating as many of us know. But you don’t actually have to live with them now that CoolSculpting has come onto the scene. CoolSculpting is a new, innovative, non-intrusive way to get rid of those pockets of stubborn fat that no amount of dieting or toning exercises can seem to get rid of, like on the arms. But as with all new procedures, there are many questions surrounding CoolSculpting. This is understandable and those questions definitely should be asked. After all, it’s something that you’re doing to your body. You should have a good understanding of what it is. 

 

One of the biggest questions that comes up with CoolSculpting is how it works on the arms. So, let’s answer that question along with a few others, shall we? 

 

What happens to the arms during CoolSculpting? 

Let’s start with the main one: how does CoolSculpting work on the arms? 

 

The idea behind CoolSculpting is a pretty interesting one. Basically, it utilizes the fact that each kind of bodily cell has its own freezing; that point where it is so cold that it dies. For fat cells, that temperature is surprisingly warm. It’s much warmer than the freezing point of skin cells or muscle cells. This means that if you expose a part of the body to that temperature, the fat cells are likely to freeze and die, but the surrounding cells will stay pretty much untouched. Then the body eventually gets rid of those cells, causing that stubborn fat to go away forever. 

 

But how does it work on the arms? Well, it works on the arms in the same way that it works on every other part of the body; by freezing the fat in the area and eventually allowing the body to get rid of it. To help detail what to expect when you’re getting CoolSculpting done on your arms, let’s talk about what each CoolSculpting session is like. 

 

It starts with a CoolSculpting technician getting you prepped, this involves putting a protective pad on your target area (in this case, on your arm). CoolSculpting is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is considered to be very safe. The pad just helps ensure this safety. Once that’s in place, the technician will then put the CoolSculpting applicator in place and turn it on. It will stay on for a time that you and a CoolSculpting expert decide on during your free consultation (which we will talk more about in a moment). During this time, you can do whatever you feel like doing, as long as you stay in your chair. Some people read, others nap. When the CoolSculpting is happening, you may notice a slight tugging sensation or even some pinching. This is totally normal and will likely go away after a little while, as the area will likely go numb (also normal and temporary).  

 

Once the time is up, the technician will turn off the applicator, take it and the pad off and message the target area. This messaging is done to help start up the process that breaks down that frozen fat cells and gets rid of them. Then you’re done (at least, until your next session)! That’s the beauty of CoolSculpting. There is no recovery time or anything like that required. You can just leave the spa and get back to your life. Your body will just start to do its thing and get rid of the cells as soon as it gets the signal that they are dead. 

 

When you get CoolSculpting done on your arms, it is the same process as described above. The main difference is that because of how the pad and applicator need to sit on your arm, you may not be able to use both arms to read or scroll through your phone, since at least one will have the pad and applicator on it. But other than that, CoolSculpting works the same on the arms as it does anywhere else on the body. Which leads us to our next question. 

 

Where else can I get CoolSculpting done? 

While many people love CoolSculpting because it’s non-invasive and does have any downtime associated with it, others love it because it is versatile. You can get CoolSculpting done just about anywhere. Some of the more popular places are the stomach, the thighs, and the chin. While you can’t get it done any higher than the chin, that still leaves the rest of the body. Basically, if you can pinch the area and get a pinch full of fat, then you can get CoolSculpting done there. 

 

However, not everyone can get CoolSculpting done. There are some people that may experience some serious side effects if they get this treatment, and others that it just simply will not work on. For example, CoolSculpting will not work for you if you’ve been diagnosed with obesity. CoolSculpting is made to help get rid of those places with stubborn fat that just will not go away no matter how much dieting and exercising you do. It is for those who are so close to their target weight but need just that extra bit of help to get there. If you’re not sure about whether or not CoolSculpting is right for you, talk to your doctor. 

 

Once you do that, all you need to do is set up your free consultation. Here at the NIMA Institute, you can meet with one of our CoolSculpting experts who will go over what to expect from CoolSculpting with you. They will also go over whether or not you are a good candidate for the procedure and how many sessions you may need. But if after that consultation you decide that you don’t want to do CoolSculpting, then there is no obligation. However, once you see what the process truly is and the kind of results you can expect, we think that you will ready to get that fat chilling. Call for a free consultation.
