Give your eyes the refreshed look they deserve by alleviating dark circles and giving those bags the boot. We can’t always prevent our body’s natural reaction to our hectic schedules and response to tiredness, but we can at least find ways to help keep it from affecting our appearance.
Many different variables can contribute to the cause of tired eyes, such as seasonal allergies that trigger the release of histamines in the body, which in turn can inflame blood vessels and cause swelling.  Genetics can also have a hand in causing dark circles. If you inherit thin under eye skin it can be more evident when blood accumulates there from slowed circulation. Also, age is a key player in the cause since over time skin naturally loses collagen and thins, which will more prominently expose veins.
Sweet Dreams
You may want to try doubling up on pillows for added support when you sleep to keep blood from building up under your eyes.  When you wake up, try applying a cold compress, such as frozen spoons underneath your eyes for about five minutes to constrict the blood vessels. You can also try using an eye cream with caffeine before calling it a night.
Hide And Go Seek
You can always opt for the temporary method of covering up with makeup. Use a concealer a couple shades lighter than your natural skin tone, and apply a powder the same shade as your skin over top. No need to get crazy with highlighter, just a quick fix.
Collagen Cures
For most of us, having thin skin is the overriding issue and cause of dark circles. Try implementing a collagen-building cream into your beauty regime to help restore your skin. We recommend using one with retinol. Here at The SHAW Center we carry the ZO Skin Health product line, which typically employs this ingredient for anti-aging purposes.
The SHAW Center also offers eyelid surgery, which is a procedure that can create more youthful looking eyes. It removes excess eye skin, muscle or fat deposits to address sagging eyelids or bags beneath the eyes.

Most plastic surgery procedures can be performed out of state, and in fact it is not uncommon to explore your options by searching around the country for your preferred physician. Most might find undergoing cosmetic surgery out of town more appealing due to the ability of being able to recover privately and out of the eyes of family and friends.  Confidentiality is key, and the SHAW Center ensures a customized and comfortable recovery period based on your specific needs and wishes.

Simple Steps
The process for out-of-town patients is made as seamless as possible when going through our surgical center. First, have a friend or spouse help you take photos of the areas you’re concerned with, and send them via email at info@theshawcenter.com, which will go directly to Dr. Shaw for review.
Following this you will want to schedule a phone consultation to voice your concerns, hear out Dr. Shaw’s recommendations, as well as discuss recovery plans.
Shortly after, your patient coordinator with help you in scheduling your surgery date along with pre and post-operative appointments.

Travel With A Friend
While maintaining your privacy during recuperation is essential throughout this process, making sure you have your spouse, a close friend or a family member by your side is also extremely important. Depending on the surgery, you may not be able to do everything yourself the first couple of days right after the procedure so having someone to assist you will allow you to fully focus on recovering.

What To Pack
Unless specifically recommended otherwise by Dr. Shaw, typically wearing loose-fitted clothing is recommended after your surgery. No need to pack any muumuus, but relaxed fits and sweatpants are ideal being that they’re extremely easy to get on and off.

Summer is here and our beauty routines should now be as effortless as ever.  They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. Well then, your eyelashes are the curtains and just as essential to perfect. Sure, there’s hundreds of over the counter makeup products, mascaras and even false eyelashes you can settle for when wanting to achieve a bold lash look, but all of those are just temporary and even sometimes detrimental to your natural lashes. What if we told you that you could render your lashes luscious and long without all that and using Latisse and other natural home remedies? Well, you can!
A Healthy Diet
When do you not hear that a healthy diet can benefit you? It’s true! Lashes are made from keratin which is a type of protein, so ensuring your meals are high in protein can actually help your eyelashes to grow fuller and longer.
Vitamin E
This can actually be a DIY solution by combining one tablespoon of sweet almond oil, one tablespoon olive oil and one capsule of liquid vitamin E. Once you have this mixture, you can apply the serum to your lash line with a Q-tip every night before bed. This will also help to make your lashes healthy and strong.
Grooming
Yes, you can actually groom your eyelashes just as you would comb your hair every day.! We suggest brushing them once a day with an eyelash brush, which will help to distribute the natural oils  through this gentle massage, as well as improve the blood supply.
Latisse
Above all else, Latisse has been proven to be extremely effective in the growth and renewal of eyelashes.  Full, flirty lashes are one of the most feminine qualities in a woman, so why not obtain long-lasting results with Latisse? This FDA  approved treatment not only improves length and fullness but also the darkness of the lashes. You can apply Latisse directly to the lash line nightly for best results.

This month, when you receive Juvederm at the Shaw Center you will be entered to win a free Latisse!

 Skin needling sounds like it would be extremely invasive, right? Well it doesn’t have to be! With Dermapen’s advanced technologies, there’s little to no pain when undergoing this treatment. The purpose of Dermapen is to stimulate natural collagen reproduction that will ultimately help to remove any visible signs of wrinkles, enlarged pores and other abnormalities.

Don’t Be Scared Of Scars
This advanced skin needling promotes scar-less healing, while still allowing for increased production of normal woven collagen. This treatment is very similar to fractional laser treatments, but without all the unwanted side effects and downtime. Additionally, Dermapen has actually been found to be more beneficial than chemical peels or microdermabrasion.
Traditional V. Dermapen
Unlike traditional skin needling rollers, Dermapen causes minimal damage to skin and very little discomfort and distress overall. With Dermapen you can also adjust the depth of the needle in order to tailor it to individual needs. It’s because of this that it can also be used in normally hard to reach areas, such as around the eyes, lips and nose.  The Dermapen is also much safer because of its disposable needles, which helps in avoiding the risk of cross-contamination.
It’s Just That Easy
Not only is this treatment virtually painless with almost no downtime, but the results are almost immediate. Typically, you will see results after the first treatment and you will only continue to see more significant results with time. The care process between treatments requires very little, with the suggested use of a topical treatment to aid in hydration and strengthening of the skin.
The Shaw Center recommends the Dermapen for aged and sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, vertical lip lines, stretch marks, scars and overall skin rejuvenation.

The SHAW Center is dedicated to achieving the most natural looking results and achieves this through a variety of different techniques, one of them being injectable treatments. Both Botox and Dysport will help to eliminate any unwanted lines and render your skin noticeably younger by targeting specific facial expression muscles.  Our center hosts only the most skilled and trained professionals to ensure that these procedures are both personalized to fit your desires and executed flawlessly.
Bottom Line, There Should Be No Lines
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple and safe treatment that involves a small injection that blocks the nerve impulse to the muscle under the skin in a certain area. Typically, results can sustain anywhere from three to six months. One of the many benefits of this procedure is that there’s no downtime or serious recovery process. Inject today, show off tomorrow!
While Botox’s most popular benefit is its ability to rid your face of signs of aging, it can also aid in many other areas. Botox has been known to be highly effective in the treatment of migraine headaches. When injected into specific head and neck sites, it can actually prevent a migraine and dull future headache symptoms. Botox is also helpful in balancing the problem of hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. It relieves this condition by blocking the release of perspiration through the sweat glands.

Let’s set the scene.
 It’s 7 a.m., you’ve just hit the snooze button for the second time and you’re lying in bed wondering how much closer you’re getting to leaving the house completely ungroomed for the sake of five extra minutes of sleep.
We get it. Waking up early and still pulling yourself together isn’t so easy, no matter how effortless Jennifer Aniston makes it look in movies.
However, there are some key beauty hacks that will help cut down your routine and allow you to squeeze in some additional beauty sleep. So hit the snooze button one more time. We dare you!
Maintain your mane
Alright, let’s start with that tousled mane of yours. Unless you’ve perfected the art of sleeping like a corpse throughout the entire night, it could probably use a good rinse, lather and repeat.
If you don’t have time for a full shampoo, then cheat. Yes, cheat. It’s called the “bang wash” and it only requires quickly wetting the hairs that frame your face. Pull your hair back into a quick pony, leaving just the front pieces out. Add a small dime size of conditioner and run it through the strands, allowing for the sink water to rinse through it thoroughly. The hair around your face air-dries the quickest, but if you can afford an extra minute or two, just quickly run a blow dryer over the damp hair.
Conceal and highlight
Even if your morning isn’t, these products will brighten up your face almost instantaneously. Use a concealer almost three shades lighter than your natural skin tone, and apply it underneath the eye area. You can even get a little adventurous and add some to the inner creases of your eyes. This will give it the illusion that your eyes are larger, wider and definitely more awake. Always apply a luminescent highlighter to the uppermost cheekbone area of the face. You can also add some to the crease of your top lip line and above your brow as well.  When the highlighted areas of your face catch the light it draws a natural glow, improving the look of your complexion.
Just do it in your sleep
If you don’t have time for your normal remedies in the morning, you can prep throughout the night.
Moisturizing is imperative, and nothing says “Carpe Diem” like hydrated skin. ZO Skin Health, available at The SHAW Center, is a line of skin products that caters to the wellness of your skin.  These ultra-nourishing products will give your skin a healthy and radiant appearance for the morning and also fights against aging.  If all else fails, throw on a red lip. It’s sort of the answer to everything anyway.
The SHAW Center offers a variety of alternative options to looking youthful and rested, without having to deal with all these added extra morning tasks. Whether it’s Juvederm, Sculptra or Latisse, our center ensures every possible option for staying and looking effortlessly beautiful.

Age is beauty, but age also doesn’t have to be defined by wrinkles. Let’s face it they’re inevitable, however, they are most definitely fixable. Parentheses don’t deserve a place on your face, and that’s why The SHAW Center offers a myriad of different solutions to returning your face back to its smooth and even complexion. Juvederm is just one of them!
Juvederm is a smooth injectable gel that renders your skin velvety and creaseless. It consists of a tiny needle that is used to inject a small amount of filler into the skin to “fill” the wrinkles and folds. The best part? It takes all of 15-30 minutes for immediate results to appear! Imagine that. You could have more youthful and younger looking skin in less time than it takes to put on a full face of makeup.
You’re probably also wondering what exactly this injection consists of. Juvederm is comprised of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring protein that our body automatically produces. The pro to utilizing products that our body already contains is that there is less risk for reaction opposed to unnatural products.
The SHAW Center recommends this procedure especially when dealing with unnecessary nasolabial folds, which are unwanted wrinkles between the corners of your mouth and nose.
Juvederm results can last up to six months or longer but The SHAW Center offers supplemental “touch up” treatments to help maintain optimal and natural-looking results.

            According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, The U.S. has seen a 310% rise in male patients receiving Botox since 2000.  Due to the competitive job market, among other reasons, men are beginning to take a dip into the fountain of youth.  Some are beginning to refer to the trend as “BroTox.” 
Alternative procedures such as fillers and lasers have been immensely popular among men.  Men are beginning to realize that laser hair removal works in their favor to cut down time on trimming and grooming.  CoolSculpting helps keep a fit physique that doesn’t require any time off from work or downtime in general.  CoolSculpting helps combat stubborn fat that diet and exercise have a tough time getting rid of. 
More and more men are turning to treatments due to their innovation.  The majority of men don’t want to look as if they’ve had any work done.  Most noninvasive procedures at The SHAW Center Spa deliver results that patients are striving for yet don’t make them look “plastic.”
Another sought-after procedure among men is chemical peels due to the numerous results they deliver.  They help repair skin damage caused by years or sun exposure, minimize fine facial lines on your face, remove or decrease lip creases, crows feet and forehead lines, and minimize the appearance of pores among many other benefits. 
Whether your favorite beau is seeking CoolSculpting or a chemical peel, help them along and schedule their first appointment or consultation.  Contact The SHAW Center at (480) 767-1900.
