Over plucked? Under groomed? Out of shape? Barely there? If you’ve been tweezed and terrorized, waxed and worried or just plain ignored and in desperate of some eyebrow TLC then La Spa Therapie has some great news for you! Introducing HD Brows!

(Cue trumpets and wild applause)

HD Brows, the unique seven-step eyebrow shaping treatment that has taken the beauty world by storm, has finally come to Ireland with La Spa Therapie leading the way as one of only a handful of salons in the country that currently offer this amazing beauty service. Thanks to Katie – our very own fully trained HD Brow technician the HD Brow look can soon be yours!

For those confused eyebrow owners not already in the know, the HD Brows beauty treatment is a must-have for the well-groomed face. Already a huge hit in the UK where the HD Brows brand was born (finding instant favour with celebs and fashionistas alike) Irish girls have been clamouring to get this amazing brow treatment here in Ireland. So, currently sporting a raised eyebrow and would like to know more about La Spa’s HD Brows? Read on for our Q&A.

Q. Why do I need HD Brows?
A. Well-groomed, stylish eyebrows can really sculpt your face and transform your look. The right brow shape and colour can accentuate your eyes, take years off your face and make you look neat and well presented at all times without the hassle of daily brow plucking and pruning. The HD Brows treatment will give you that look.

Q. What does the HD Brow treatment involve?
A. The HD Brow treatment is a seven-stop eyebrow shaping course that focuses on design. It involves a combination of techniques including tinting, waxing, threading and specialist HD Brows products.

Q. Will I get the results I want straight away?
A. Most people will get the HD Brows look after just one session. Sometimes it can take a few visits to perfect the brows depending on the amount of work required. However we guarantee you will definitely see a big improvement after one visit.

Q. How often will I need the HD Brows treatment?
A. The length of time the results last depends on how quickly your hair grows back and how well your hair holds colour. On average you would want them done every 4 weeks to maintain the perfect look.

Q. Can I maintain my brows at home?
A. Yes. We supply the full range of HD Brows products so you can enhance your brows at home in between visits.

Q. I have over-plucked brows. Can I still get the HD Brow look?
A. Sure! Your stylist can put you on a re-growth programme that will train your brows into shape over a course of visits. To speed up your re-growth and maintain nice eyebrows in between visits to the salon, you can use HD Brows products at home that stimulate growth and make eyebrows appear fuller and more defined.

Q. Can I choose an eyebrow shape?
A. Absolutely. Brow shapes are tailored to the individual, as they have to suit your look and personality. Your brows can be made dark or light, thick or thin, sharp or soft. Your input is important in deciding the best shape and look for you. Katie will consider your hair growth, colouring, face shape and overall look when consulting with you on your brow design.

Book early to avoid disappointment!

Katie’s brow perfection techniques will be made available at both La Spa salons in Malahide and Drogheda. Make sure to call ahead for an appointment. See you (and your soon-to-be-beautiful brows) at La Spa!

Celebrity Hair Transplants And Weaves

Posted on by

Flick through the pages of any glossy magazine and you’ll be confronted with images of star studded beauties and Hollywood good looks. These red carpet pictures are full of lads and ladies with a St Tropez tan, ultra white teeth, perfectly toned abs and flowing locks. However, all is not what it seems; look a little closer, past the airbrushing and you will realise that each and every one of these celebrities is human after all. From hair transplants to weaves we bust the beauty secrets of the fabulously famous.

A classic example is Beyonce Knowles. She is the face of L’Oreal and is tied into multimillion dollar deals that mean that she can’t look anything but perfect if she happens to be snapped by the pap. Her luscious locks however are enhanced by the addition of a weave.

This type of weave uses a woven nylon base which has synthetic hair attached to it. The original hair is pulled through the woven mesh and integrated with the synthetic hair. A weave is used to enhance or extend a style or cover up signs of hair loss. Why L’Oreal is advertising their product on what is evidently fake hair is beyond us and Beyonce probably.

Natural beauty Cheryl Cole is said to be another celeb to sport a weave. Although she already has hair that most women would give their right arm for, she pads it out with extensions to give a fuller sleeker look. We like to view it as a kind of hair augmentation, but there’s nothing bad about making what is already beautiful a little big bigger.

While women go for the weaves, the men are taking on the hair transplant. A hair transplant uses donor follicles from the back of the head to fill in thinning patches. Usually groups of between one and four follicles are transplanted at a time to give a totally natural look. While it is rumoured that the iconic Johnny depp has had a receding hair line sorted out, there is no hard and fast evidence for this, but Jamie Foxx, a fellow Hollywood actor had had his done with pride.

Not only was he seen swanking the celebrity circuit with a fully shaved head, he also went as far as to get the donor area tattooed. Just a few weeks later he was back on the red carpet with a fully restored hair line. It’s good to know that celebrities are just the same as us, and that we can get that same celebrity look.

How Do I Refill A Post It Note Dispenser

Posted on by

Post-It notes play an important role in any office, for a wide variety of reasons:

They make excellent book marks, so that you can find interesting facts on pages easily

Useful for separating document segments

Offer instructions on files or documents that can be easily removed once the job has been done

Perfect for leaving notes for workmates

Their sticky backs mean that theyll stick to most basic areas of an office including desks, walls, message boards, PC monitors, mugs, doors etc. However, the lightness of the glue guarantees that once removed no residue is left behind to tarnish and/or damage office equipment.

So many office workers couldnt imagine life without the usefulness of the handy little post-it note, but keeping track of where theyre kept can become a bit of a chore, especially if you have several pads of them lying around your hectic desk. And even when you do find them, the chances that theyve become damaged and/or stained by a coffee mug, or some other office-based implement are annoyingly high. Nevertheless, the real solution to this is to purchase a good post-it note dispenser, which keeps them all neat, tidy and organised in a world of mayhem.

*Refilling your Dispenser*

Most Post It Note Dispensers come ready-filled with plenty of notes to keep you going for a considerable amount of time, but no matter whether you work in a really busy office or a quiet one, your notes are going to run out eventually. Thats just inevitable, but where do you even start to go about refilling your note-enriched beauty?

1. The first and most important step is to determine exactly what size of post it note your dispenser holds. You will first need to determine their shape, ie: square, rectangle, circular etc, and then work out their dimensions. This is pretty simple for square or rectangle-shaped notes, but circular may be more of a chore. To save on time, you should check the dispenser and any packaging that it came in, to see whether they offer you this information.

2. It is useful to have an idea of the type of post it notes that you prefer to use. If you tend to only use them as small page-markers, then smooth-surfaced ones are stronger and more durable, in the sense that they are less likely to tear. However, they are unsuitable for writing on. Therefore, if you tend to use post-its for writing notes either to yourself or your colleagues, then paper-based post-its are probably more suitable.

3. Once youve determined the type of post-it notes that you are looking for, shop around all of the stationery-based shops that you can think of, and find out if they supply post-it note refills. The chances are that if they sell the original dispenser that you bought, they are quite likely to also sell the refills.

4. Take time to compare and contrast prices, to make sure that you are getting the best deal possible.

5. Once you have purchased the correct refills, youll need to figure out (or find out) how many notes the dispenser can hold at one time. Its important not to insert too many, as you might have problems pulling sheets out.

6. Find out how the dispenser allows for refills. Some open up at the top, allowing you to simply pop them inside, whilst others can be inserted from a side-angle.

7. Take time to ensure that all of the sheets are inserted correctly, to avoid them becoming crumpled or jammed, and you are all set to go.

CO2 Dermabrasion and Multiple Allergens

Posted on by

Question: How would you code for CO2 laser dermabrasion for treating a basal cell carcinoma?

Answer: You should report 15780 (Dermabrasion; total face [e.g., for acne scarring, fine wrinkling, rhytids, general keratosis]), 15781 (… segmental, face), 15782 (… regional, other than face), or 15783 (… superficial, any site [e.g., tattoo removal]) for a dermabrasion procedure. e.

For showing that the procedure is medically necessary, you must link the CPT code to an ICD-9 codes 173.0 from the -173.9 (Other malignant neoplasm of skin) series. You should select the code from that series that signifies the site of the carcinoma.

Warning: Most carriers think of dermabrasion procedures to be cosmetic and will reimburse you for them simply under definite medical circumstances. For instance, Aetna considers dermabrasion — whether by dermaplaning or CO2 laser — medically essential for elimination of superficial basal cell carcinomas as well as pre-cancerous actinic keratosis only when you meet two criteria:
conventional ways of removal for instance cryotherapy, curettage, and excision are impractical owing to the number and distribution of the lesions, and
the member has failed a trial of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (Efudex), lest contraindicated. Testing Multiple Allergens Question: Your dermatologist scratch- tested a patient, who has problems of skin rashes, for reactions to dogs, cats, ragweed, oak, maple, penicillin, dust mites, as well as bees. What codes must you report?

Answer: You must report 95004 (Percutaneous tests [scratch, puncture, prick] with allergenic extracts, immediate type reaction-) x 4 units for the ragweed, oak, maple, as well as dust mites, and CPT code 95010 (Percutaneous tests [scratch, puncture, prick] sequential and incremental, with drugs, biologicals or venoms, immediate type reaction, including test interpretation and report by a physician, specify number of tests) x 4 units for the dog, cat, penicillin, and bee stings.

A dermatologist has numerous ways of determining the source of a patient’s skin rashes. Furthermore, they generally want to test several substances all at once. Keep in mind that every substance counts as a distinct test. Make certain to code for every single allergen administered by putting the number in the “units” field of your claim form.

Quick fact: The percutaneous test is also termed as scratch test, prick test or puncture test. Here, the dermatologist applies test solutions of probable allergens to scratches or shallow punctures on a patient’s skin.

The kind of solutions your dermatologist applies will decide the code you report: CPT code 95004 for allergenic extracts and CPT codes 95010 for antibiotics, biologicals, stinging insects, and local anesthetic agents.
