Oh how we hate dark circles!
February 25th, 2010We’ve all had them at one point or another so why do we have them and how do we threat them?
Why they appear?
Genetics plays a key role. If you inherit fair or think skin under the eyes, it’s more obvious when blood pools there (often because of slower circulation from lack of sleep). The accumulation causes fragile capillaries to stretch and leak.
Age. Over time skin loses collagen and thins, so veins show through more prominently. Sunbathing speeds up this process by breaking down collagen.
Seasonal allergies. “They trigger the release of histamines in the body, which in turn inflame blood vessels and cause swelling.” To determine why your circles happen, gently stretch the skin under your eyes. If that area becomes darker, the circles are probably due to genetics or aging. If the color doesn’t change, UV rays or allergies are probably the cause.
How to treat them?
If your circles are a result of vascular issues, double up on pillows at night to stop blood from building up under your eyes. In the morning apply a cold compress for about five minutes to constrict the blood vessels. Use an eye creme with caffeine, which helps constrict vessels. Other alternatives Arnica-based creams which are considered to have anti-inflammatory properties, may reduce the appearance of darkness. eye creams with green tea or grapeseed oil help strengthen capillary walls. Change your diet by adding Flavonol-rich dark chocolate (an ounce a day) and foods full of omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, walnuts) may improve blood flow to the skin.
For allergy-induced circles, consider taking an over-the-counter antihistamine before allergies begin to abate shadows.
And last if thin skin is an issue, use collagen-building cream. Vitamin C and Retinol are also great but always be sure to wear sunscreen daily.
If visiting the spa for a facial ask your esthetician what other things you can do at home and add an eye saver treatment to focus on those dark circles.

Now is the Best time to start your Laser Hair Removal.
January 20th, 2010Why now ? you ask
It’s simple, spring and Summer are just around the corner…bathing suit season is fast approaching!! You’ll have to worry even more about shaving, waxing, plucking, and making sure to be bikini ready for the beach, pool, or vacation. So why not start now? Even after your first session you’ll notice a difference, start now and by June you’ll be halfway done with the amount of treatments you would need to see permanent results. Wax-free, Shaving-Free sounds like a great summer to me! But just incase you are not convinced, here are some other benefits:
1. Permanent Removal of unwanted hair…no more stubbles!
2. Save money & Time. It may seem like its pricey at the beginning but think of all the money you’ll be saving versus a lifetime of waxing services, shaving creme, razors and so on. Let’s not mention the time you could be spending on the beach.
3.Effective Treatment for ingrown hairs. This is not just for females, gentlemen- think about how smotth your skin can be and less irritated after your visit to the barber. No more bumps, no more irritation, no more redness.
4. Lastly, it is still cold out which means no tanning just yet so get a head start on those sessions. Even if you waited till the summer our Laser is safe enough that tanning is permitted so long as you’re out of the sun for one week before or after your procedure

Looking for a new Massage Experience?
July 24th, 2009Then allow us to introduce you to the Yogassage…
The Yogassage incorporates assisted yoga asanas (poses) and therapeutic massage techniques that enhance the free natural movement of the body to promote relaxation, muscle tone, increased flexibility and improved circulation. Degrees of client participation varies from passive to full involvement. There are many benefits that can be achieved with yogassage, including:
• Strength development—since yogassage differs from regular massage in the way that the patient must hold themselves in a pose, this also means that yogassage can result in physical benefits that cannot be achieved with any other form of massage. One of these physical benefits is increased tone and strength.
• Increased circulation—just as with many other forms of massage therapy, yogassage has the important benefit to the body of increased circulation. This means better overall health, as well as the body’s ability to heal more quickly and fully.
• Relaxation—yogassage, like many forms of massage therapy, results in deep relaxation, especially when it is combined with meditation. When the body achieves such relaxation, it can calm the body’s nervous system and, in turn, strengthen its immune system.
• Overall well-being—yogassage is one of the many forms of body therapy that combines the three main elements—mind, body and spirit—during therapy. Since all three of these elements are addressed during therapy, yogassage leads the patient to better overall health and well-being.
The Yogassage is available at Canela Spa in 60 or 90 minute sessions. Book an appointment before August 15th and receive a $10 discount towards the price of a 60 minute session (regularly $90) or $15 discount towards the price of a 90 minute session (regularly $145).
