Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics - Beauty With Brilliance!

Not only does the Jane Iredale company make exceptional makeup and skincare products, but they are a company with a good heart.  Their pledge is, "to provide a product line that has the utmost integrity and the ability to enhance the lives of women through its effectiveness, simplicity, and beauty."  The best medical spa at the Lake of the Ozarks is proud to offer their products to our wonderful customers. 

Serenity Medical Spa sells Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup as one of our featured product lines.  The vitamins and antioxidants that are used are pharmaceutical grade and certified organic whenever possible.  The minerals ensure a broad spectrum of sun protection.  What stands out most about these skincare products is the difference.

Jane Iredale, the president and founder of Iredale Mineral Cosmetics, was the first to offer a line of makeup that also had skin care benefits.  After working in the entertainment industry with actresses and models always struggling to keep their heavily made up skin healthy, she saw a need and found a way to fill it.  Her goal is to make products that look good, feel good, and are good for the skin.      

Four-in-One
The muli-tasking products from Jane Iredale provide four very important functions on their own:  foundation, concealer, sunscreen, and active skin care benefits.

Non-comedogenic
The foundations form a protective barrier that allows the skin to breathe and function normally while still providing excellent coverage.  Testing confirms that pores are never blocked. 

Sun Protection (UVA & UVB Protection)
The Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation has been awarded to seven of Jane Iredale's products.  

Minimum Allergy Risk
Everything that they make is safety tested, allergy tested, clinically tested, and dermatologist tested.

Natural Preservatives
A combo of natural preservatives are used when necessary, always excluding parabens.  

Cruelty-Free
Jane Iredale Cosmetics is certified cruelty-free by the Caolition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics' Leaping Bunny Program.  This is a voluntary pledge that this company believes in and takes very seriously.

The 2015 Fall Collection is available now at Serenity Medical Spa, featuring all of your favorite Autumn shades.  The smoky eye kit is a very popular item, especially with all of the upcoming holiday parties that many will be attending.   We will have it available for you again mid-October.     

You will find magnificent Jane Iredale products for your face, eyes, lips, and skin, plus the brushes to apply and remove them with, and the cosmetic bags to carry them in. The ladies here at Serenity Medical Spa at the Lake of the Ozarks are happy to discuss which of these products are the best for your particular skin. 

Makeup should not just add beauty, but enhance the beauty that is already there. Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup is the perfect makeup to make that happen.

The Physician Services of Serenity Medical Spa

We told you all about the medical skincare treatments that we offer at our Lake of the Ozarks medical spa a couple of weeks ago, and today we are featuring our Physician Services.  Just like with our medical skincare, these treatments cannot be found at a traditional day spa because they require a medical doctor.  All of these services at Serenity Medical Spa are performed by or under the supervision of our very own board certified Dr. Debra Atkinson.  


Sclerotherapy®
Asclera® injection is a prescription medicine that is used in a procedure called sclerotherapy to remove unwanted veins on your legs. It is used to treat two types of veins: uncomplicated spider veins and small varicose veins.

Hormone Therapy
If you are struggling with fatigue, sleep difficulties, hot flashes or weight, then it may be time to get answers. Hormonal issues, stress, poor lifestyle choices, and vitamin deficiencies can all contribute to these symptoms. Evaluation of health history and possible laboratory tests can help get you in control again.

Acne Scarring Treatment
In addition to acute acne control and maintenance, treatment for various forms of acne scars are available dependant on the type and duration of the scars. Various treatments including chemical peels, TCA treatment, subscisions, and/or filler injections can be used to diminish the appearance of depressed scars.  

A consultation is required.

Skin Cancer Screening
Sun exposure causes premature aging of the skin and can lead to development of precancerous and cancerous skin lesions, depending on genetic makeup of your skin, family history, and frequency of sunburns as a child. Most people should start with yearly skin checks by the late 20’s. Skin checks and appropriate management of lesions are available at Serenity Medical Spa.

Cryotherapy
Removal of warts, skin tags, or scaly brown spots on the face or body can be obtained with freezing these growths with a cyrogenic gas mixture.

Excisions
Simple shave excisions can be performed to minimize the appearance or irritation of skin spots that would benefit cosmetically by removal.


Serenity Medical Spa at the Lake of the Ozarks is serious when we say "Beauty is our business" and offering these Physician Services alongside our spa services helps us to bring out the beauty in your skin, body, and mind.  If any of the treatments above sound like something that could help you, contact us to schedule your consultation.  We will guide you in matching your needs to the perfect services.
