VISIA Event!

We are having a wonderful event for our clients today! When we went to the IECSC in Las Vegas, we purchased a VISIA complexion analysis machine. We have been training away and today we are launching this great new tool! So far our clients are really enjoying getting that in-depth look at what is going on with their skin. Of coarse we are trying to make it fun for everyone to, so we added discounts, refreshments, and complimentary chair massages!

If you get a chance to come to Walla Walla, stop in at LeFore's Spa and get a look at your skin. It shows everything from wrinkles, sun damage, pores, redness, texture... just about anything you would want to see!

An Endearing, Funny, blog from our massage therapist!

A few professions in the world really lend themselves to being taken advantage of, (not necessarily in a bad way) by friends and family once they leave the work environment. Chefs are almost certainly put in charge of the summer BBQ; Accountants are undoubtedly harassed during tax season, and massage therapists’ daughters will not go to bed unless Daddy has given them a massage.

Every night there is a routine. First comes the bath, (“Keep the water IN the tub please.”). Bath time is followed by helping them brush their teeth, (“Stop eating the toothpaste!”). The Pajamas are put on and stories are lovingly read. If it is wintertime, the hair dryer is brought out to blow heat in their bed so they stay toasty and warm. To most children this would be more than enough. If your dad is a massage therapist, it is just the warm up to the main event.

Massage to my daughters is more than just a quick back rub. They have learned to request specific areas that are bothering them and are more than willing to tell me if I am not doing deep enough work. Massage commentary like, “No Daddy, I need a massage like you do at work”, and, “Daddy, You forgot my legs and arms” is not uncommon.

My oldest daughter has understood for quite some time that massage is my job. My four-year-old daughter had not quite figured this out though. Therefore, when LeFore’s Spa placed a video of me demonstrating a new service on their Facebook page, it confused her. I was at work and my wife was showing my kids the video of me giving a massage to a fellow employee.

“Is that you Mommy?” my youngest asked.

“No.”

There was a pause well my daughter tried to process this information.

“Why’s Daddy helping someone else?”

To my daughter, who has grown up getting massages nightly and was my infant massage therapy model, the concept that I worked on other people was a new one. But, even through her naivety, she brings up a valid question. Why do I help someone else? Why do I do what I do?

Mostly I do what I do because I love it. I love helping people feel better and increase the quality of their life. Doing what I do, gives a grandparent the ability to get down on the floor and play with their grandchild. It gives a mother the break she needs to regain her sanity from keeping up with her kids day after day. It helps the farmer get back to work after straining his muscles from tossing hay bales for hours on end. At work, I help because people need it, more than many of them even know they do. I help others feel better so they can go home and spend quality time with their children, who sometimes ask questions that make us smile, nod, and then try our best to answer with a straight face.

Summer Spots?

Too much summer sun for your skin? Seeing the signs of visible damage like Brown spots, and uneven tones on the skin are just one of the hazards of sun damage. Babies aren't born with freckles, none of us are! The formation of freckles is triggered by exposure to sunlight. The exposure to UV-B radiation activates melanocytes to increase the melanin production which causes uneven tones.

So what do we recommend to combat visible sun damage? Dermalogica's Chroma White System which is developed specifically to deliver brightening skin health results, without hydroquinone which has been shown to cause sensitivity issues for many people.

Add a skin brightening facial at LeFore's Spa complimentary when you purchase the Chroma White System Kit. You also can purchase individual items to boost your home regiment.

Tri-Active Cleanse * Improves surface clarity.

Powerfoliant * Smooths and enhances skin texture and tone.

Dermalogica and you

One of our favorite product lines we carry is Dermalogica. There are many reasons we choose to carry it, and we want to share with you just a few of the reasons why. We love the fact that they are committed to education, continually updating their products with the latest skin care and ingredient technology have to offer. They have a fail-proof plan, that we embrace: give the therapist education, sample the client, offer great treatments where the products are used or supported in the treatment room, and follow up home use with education in the form of take home prescription sheets so that you will not feel overwhelmed or uncertain of when and how to use your skin regiment. We want everyone who comes into LeFore's Spa to feel welcome and to not feel "pressured" to buy, but rather an informed decision between you and your skin therapist to achieve a desired result. Offering face mapping allows us to target specific problem areas of concern to be treated with either micro zone treatments to complete clinical services.
