When you think about your own mental health, self-care may not be the first thing that pops to mind – but it is definitely a major player in how you feel. The term “selfcare” might call to mind manicures, facials, massages, bubble baths, or a blowout. But, I’m here to talk about taking things a step farther. Let’s talk about a little cosmetic self-care.
It’s no secret that when you feel good about yourself it instantly boosts your mood. Luckily for us, Jodi DeVries will help us do just that. Jodi is like your gorgeous girlfriend who just happens to have her Master’s of Science in Nurse Anesthesia and is an APRN, CRNA. Basically, she knows what she’s doing. And she can help you feel just as gorgeous, because Jodi is the owner-operator of Eternal Youth Aesthetics, LLC. She has been practicing in a clinical setting for many years and continues to do so – when she is not busy bringing her aesthetic skills directly to her clients.
That’s right. Jodi can come to you. She has all the knowledge and skills and none of the intimidation of a formal clinical setting. By offering mobile services, she is able to consult and treat you from the comfort of your own home, or from your salon or office. It allows her to offer services to those who may not have the chance to experience them otherwise. Her philosophy is a minimalistic approach. She says you can always add more if you like, but she feels it’s best to create a natural look to feel younger, more refreshed, more confident, and the best version of you.
With a mobile service, Jodi has more flexibility. It can be just the two of you for an appointment – Jodi and you as the client, or she offers an option for you to host an event with friends. After practicing nursing for eight years and then nurse anesthesia for a few years, Jodi attended cosmetic injectables training courses and fell in love with the art of facial aesthetics. She worked tenaciously to make cosmetic injectables more readily available to a wider audience. And thus her business was born.
Eternal Youth offers a variety of treatments. Botox is a given. It is by far the most recognizably named treatment available these days. Botox is an anti-wrinkle injection that Jodi says is her most popular treatment for clients in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. And it’s not just women seeking these treatments, by the way, about 30% of her clients are men! Good for you guys– self-care is for everyone. Botox lasts 3-4 months and benefits a wide range of clients. Results can take a few days to show up, so Jodi likes to check in to make sure you are loving your results.
Beyond Botox, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are another popular choice. Jodi offers several options like Revanesse, Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero fillers. They are popular among her clients, especially lip fillers like Restylane Kysse and Revanesse Versa among the younger 20 something clients. Fillers can make the most immediate difference for someone looking for an instant result. Another area that fillers make a noticeable difference is in the cheeks. She says we lose volume as we age, so by replacing that volume, our faces look 10 to 20 years younger. Other areas that are great for fillers include tear troughs (under the eyes), temples, nasolabial folds (smile lines), and marionette lines around the mouth, jawline, and even the hands.
Other treatments Jodi offers include: Sculptra (a collagen stimulator) to help reverse the signs of aging by rebuilding lost collagen. Kybella (fat lipolysis) is FDA approved to decrease submental fullness. You know, like the double chin area or that stubborn bra bulge. AQUAGOLD Fine Touch Microchanneling treatments that include MicroBotox, hyaluronic acid, and a multivitamin complex to brighten, tighten, and increase luminosity to the face, neck, décolletage (chest), and backs of the hands. And PRP (which stands for platelet-rich plasma) injection facial treatments, also known as the “Vampire Facial.” The Vampire Facial uses your own blood spun down to separate the red and white blood cells from the plasma. The plasma, which is full of growth factors and peptides that stimulate collagen growth, is injected into the dermal layer of your skin. This process happens much deeper than a standard facial so the results take a week or two to show up, but last months to years. It is a natural alternative to injecting synthetics. You can think of it as your own personal “Fountain of Youth.”
The goal of using cosmetic injectables is to age gracefully. It feels like the next step in your daily skincare routine. Honestly, it feels great to take care of yourself– and your skin is for life. Jodi truly practices what she preaches, she has experienced most of her procedures! She says the best compliment is when someone tells her patients that they look great, but they can’t put their finger on what is different. Subtle improvements. She also offers, and uses herself, iS Clinical cosmeceuticals. They are a botanical-based, anti-aging, anti-acne, skin-brightening pharmaceutical-grade line that Jodi can help her clients put together for a complete custom skincare routine.
