Introducing our new procedure: The PRO Treatment™

Using Micro-needling and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Skin Rejuvenation Therapy.

We use the Eclipse MicroPen to stimulate a process known as micro-needling or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). Micro-Needling is a treatment in which controlled micro-perforations are dispensed by an automated micro needle tip. Using this technique results in new production of the skin’s own elastin and collagen. This assists in reducing fine lines, acne scars and the appearance of wrinkles.

Paired with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRO Treatment) Skin Rejuvenation Therapy, micro-needling can naturally improve your texture, tone, and hydration of your skin. How you may ask? Your blood contains of 8 beneficial growth factors and essential healing properties. With a simple and quick process, your PRP is able to create a concentration of nutrient-rich cells that will stimulate collagen production and blood supply to the targeted area. Studies have shown that acne scars, wrinkles, dark spots and pores have been improved with these treatments.

During your Office visit:

1. The practitioner draws a small amount of blood similar to what is required for a basic lab test.
2. The blood is placed into a centrifuge for spinning at a very rapid rate to separate the platelets from the other components of the blood.
3. The Platelet-Rich Plasma is activated to release at least 8 essential growth factors and signaling proteins.
4. The PRP is applied to your skin and tissues, before, during and after the micro-needling session.

Because all constitutes retrieved in PRP are exclusively from the patient, there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction or intolerance.

Ruth Swissa: Best Face Forward

by Tracy Wright

Skin specialist at Ruth Swissa spas, including namesake Ruth, have been helping clients look and feel their vest with a wide array of skincare products, treatments and professional permanent makeup application at their two locations in Agoura Hills and Beverly Hills.

Swissa studied fine arts abroad before returning home to create her empire. With three generations of her family in the aesthetics field, perfecting the craft of facial artistry came naturally to her.

While she offers an extensive list of treatments, from eyebrow care to specialized microdermabrasion facials, she also understands the value of time. Although some procedures are more in-depth, others can be done in lunch break speed.

Using only high-quality organic ingredients for permanent makeup application procedures (also called micropigmentation), she gives clients a clean and natural look. Swissa professionals use state-of-the-art techniques and technology for best results.

Long-lasting, full-collored lip tattooing services help customers confidently smile while redefining the shape of their lips. Cooling machines and topical anesthetics make the tattooing process even more comfortable for clients; scheduled touch-ups after the procedure provide the opportunity to gradually build on the desired color choice for lips.

“Areola pigmentation has been an important restorative cosmetic process for many breast cancer patients,” Ruth noted. “The medical micropigmentation process is used to improve the aesthetic appearance of the nipple areola complex after reconstructive breast  surgery.”

Ruth is a member of the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals and works extensively with patients for medical micropigmentation procedures and camouflaging scars from surgeries or accidents.

Ruth Swissa Soy Candles!

This holiday season surprise your sweeties with aromatic hand-crafted soy candles. These candles do hold the upper hand in fragrant burning — here are their benefits:

Soy candles are 100% natural. Made with soybeans, soy candles are produced by renewable grown sources. Contrarily, paraffin candles are made of petroleum, a non-renewable resource that contains carcinogens.

Lighting a soy candle ensures cleaner burning with noticeable less soot. Paraffin candles release a significant amount of black soot that is visible and collects around the jar and its surrounding.

Soy candles are also non-toxic and won’t release toxins in the air as they burn.

Additionally, soy candles are also longer lasting than paraffin candles. The reason behind longevity of soy candles is the slower burning time and cooler burning temperature of the soybean-based wax. This wax is also highly biodegradable, making soy candles the more environmentally friendly option.

Lastly, soy candles are just better smelling. Soy wax is popular for holding on to essential oils and releasing them gradually. This makes the transition to sweet-smelling surrounding more gentle rather than a heavy wave of scent that paraffin candles emit.

Stop by Ruth Swissa to purchase your soy candle — here is a list of our top-selling scents:

– Acai Mongosteen

– White Tea & Ginger

– Rosy Red Current

– Pomegranate Pink Grapefruit

+ many more

If you have acne, you know that you’d do anything to get rid of it. Scientific research has led to a mobile friendly answer that  start with something as simple as your refrigerator. Northwestern university has created a free iPhone app that uses science to help people with acne make better food choices. It uses data from a systematic analysis of peer-reviewed research studies to show people if there is or is not scientific evidence linking acne to foods such as chocolate, fat, sugar and whey protein.

Ruth Swissa likes to call this the elixir of youth. Hibiscus is nature’s anti-aging gift to you. It contains a natural source of alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) which is the leading compound found in anti-aging products. You can utilize this flower by mixing it with other skincare products, such as milk, honey, turmeric, or rose water. Simply blend the ingredients and watch hibiscus work its magic. Bot only does it improve your complexion by tightening your skin, but it has other benefits such as reducing dark circles / eye-bags and reducing suntan.

Lavender is amongst one of the flower MVPs. It is the it-boy in the flower squad. Not only is it great for skincare, but the list goes on from hair-care to headache remedies. Lavender has antiseptic and antifungal properties which helps reduce scarring and speeds up the healing process. The conventional use of lavender comes in the form of Lavender essential oil — with this you can treat skin problems such as acne, eczema, wrinkles, heal burns, insect bites, chapped lips, and even as a toner.
This magical bloom is the jackpot in the skin-care industry.
