5 Things You Didn't Know About Your Skin

It serves countless different purposes in our bodies. It keeps you cool when it's warm outside, and warm when it is cold. It keeps germs and bacteria out and blood, organs, and other tissues in. It also allows gives you valuable information about your overall health. What are we talking about?


It shouldn't be too hard to guess that we are talking about skin. Most of us don't give too much thought to our skin on a daily basis, but that doesn't change the fact that we rely on it twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week. Don't make the mistake of taking your skin for granted - we need it to stay healthy in order for it to continue to provide its invaluable services. The team at Serenity Medical Spa is here to help you keep your skin in great shape. This week, we are dedicating our blog to helping you learn some interesting facts about your skin.

1. Your Skin Is An Organ
When we think of organs, most of us think of our internal ones (heart, stomach, liver, etc). Many people are surprised to learn that their skin is actually an organ as well - and their largest one, at that. In fact, your skin actually makes up about 15-16% of your entire body weight. The bottoms of your feet account for the thickest areas of skin, and your eyelids are the thinnest.

2. Your Skin Helps Regulate Your Body Temperature
Being able to regulate body temperature is a crucial component of survival, and your skin plays a vital role in the process. The most common example is sweat; sweating is your body's natural method of cooling itself down when your internal temperature begins to rise. While you are probably familiar with this process, you may not be aware that your skin also helps to keep you warm in colder temperatures - your pores will actually become smaller in order to better retain heat.

3. Your Skin Is Constantly Regenerating
Believe it or not, the skin you wore last month is not made up of the same cells your skin consists of today. Your skin is constantly shedding dead skin cells and generating new ones to take their place. In fact, your body creates an entire new layer of skin approximately every 28 days. While most dead skin cells will fall off naturally, some can remain on the skin. That's why it's important to exfoliate your skin on regular basis.

4. Your Skin Reveals A Lot About Your Overall Health
Your skin offers external signs of your internal health. If your skin changes suddenly or significantly, it may be a sign that you have an underlying health problem that needs to be addressed. Moles can sometimes be a sign of skin cancer, for example, and rashes or hives can often symbolize allergic reactions or disease.

5. Not All The Nerves In Your Skin Link To The Brain
Most of the nerves in your skin lead back to the brain, allowing you to evaluate and process information about your environment picked up by the nerve endings in your skin (such as different textures). However, not all of the nerves in your skin lead to the brain. Some send signals directly to certain muscles so you can react to heat, pain, etc before your brain has time to process the information.

Let Serenity Medical Spa Help Take Care Of Your Skin
In light of how many things it does for you, it only makes sense that you should spend time caring for your skin in return.

Luxury Father's Day Gift Ideas

It's almost Father's Day - that special day set aside to honor the father figures in your life. Your father, your father-in-law, the father of your children, and anyone else who has ever played a fatherly role in your life deserves some special attention this weekend. If you've been scrambling to come up with a gift idea for the dad(s) in your life, Serenity Medical Spa is here to help. Here are a few ideas that every man is sure to love.


6 Gift Ideas For The Dad That Has Everything:

Sole Solution
Our man's pedicure is specifically designed to work on the underlying causes of rough, dry, and/or cracked feet. Our pedicure helps soften and exfoliate dead skill cell buildup and calluses, resulting in softer, smoother skin.

Board Room MANicure
Whether he's taking a special lady out to dinner or conducting an important business proposal, a man's hands say a lot about him. Our men's manicure will ensure the nails are trimmed and buffed to leave a great impression.

Deep Tissue Massage
Work hard, play hard - it's a motto many men take to heart. If your husband or father is feeling the strain from too much physical labor, a deep tissue massage could be exactly what he needs to relax and rejuvenate. Treat him to a 90-minute massage by our licensed massage therapist at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Hot Lather Body Shave
Is your man not ready to commit to body waxing, but unable to get to those hard-to-reach places when he shaves? Our back-chest-arms hot lather body shave will leave his skin smooth and boat-ready. 

Professional Body Sugaring
Looking for a hair removal solution that will last more than a couple days? Body sugaring provides a safe, gentle, and effective solution for hair removal. By extracting hair in its natural direction of growth, we can eliminate breakage as well as unnecessary discomfort and irritation. The results from a professional body sugaring session should last up to four weeks.

Gentleman's Grooming Facial
Men deserve to be pampered, too! Our gentleman's grooming facial begins with a deep cleansing to remove impurities, followed by extractions and a customized anti-aging masque. Eyebrows are trimmed and waxing is done where needed (commonly ears, nose, and eyebrows). The skin is left feeling detoxified and hydrated.

Happy Father's Day From Serenity Medical Spa!

On behalf of everyone at our medical spa at the Lake of the Ozarks, we would like to wish a very Happy Father's Day to all of the dads and father figures in our area. If you are helping to plan a special day for the fathers in your life, stop by and pick up a gift certificate to our luxury spa in Lake Ozark MO. Together, we can make this a Father's Day that he won't soon forget!

We are proud to offer a variety of high-quality spa facials in Lake Ozark MO. Our standard menu of services includes the Hydradermabrasion Deluxe, Gentlemen's Grooming Facial, HydraFacial MD®, and HydraFacial MD® Platinum. Here is a quick overview of what the first two selections include:

Hydradermabrasion Deluxe ~ $140
Our signature facial can help you say good by to messy crystals and scratches by introducing your skin to the cool lush elegance and safety of sterile saline. By strengthening capillaries, reducing cellular buildup, hydrating and oxygenating tissues, and energizing cell renewal, this local favorite works to restore a brighter, more youthful appearance.

Gentlemen's Grooming Facial ~ $140
This classic gentleman's facial begins with a deep cleansing to remove impurities, followed by extractions. Eyebrows are trimmed and waxing is done where needed (such as ears, nose, and eyebrows). The skin is then treated with a customizable mask that promotes anti-aging. Your face is left feeling detoxified and hydrated.

HydraFacials At Serenity

The Hydradermabrasion Deluxe and the Gentlemen's Facials are certainly excellent in their own rights, but there are two specific facials that tend to be even greater crowd-pleasers. The HydraFacials are fantastic for both women and men - in fact, they could be a great idea for a Father's Day gift in the upcoming weeks.

HydraFacial MD® ~ $160
The HydraFacial™ resurfacing procedure thoroughly enhances the skin by using a patented Vortex Technology™ to simultaneously cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate. Each treatment uses a series of HydroPeel® tips with a unique spiral design that creates a cortex effect to easily dislodge and remove impurities, while at the same time hydrating the skin and providing potent antioxidants. This treatment is recommended for all skin types, but it specifically targets fine lines and wrinkles, oily or congested skin, sun damage, uneven skin tone, and dry or dehydrated skin.

HydraFacial MD® Platinum ~ $225
In addition to the amazing benefits provided by the HydrFacial MD, the Platinum version incorporates three additional steps: Lymphatic Drainage, DermaBuilder™, and LED Light Therapy.
  • Lymphatic Drainage prepares the skin for the upcoming procedure by releasing toxins and stimulating collagen production.
  • DermaBuilder™ is a uniquely formulated combination of peptides that is applied to the skin to help smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially following extractions.
  • LED Light Therapy encourages the skin's production of Vitamin D and helps reduce the appearance of redness and irritation while also decongesting the skin.
