What does Body Bar(e) mean to Dawn?

Body Bar(e)'s commitment to excellence:  
 
I know you have options when it comes to hair removal in Yakima.
Even back when I was the only game in town, I took my clients’ loyalty very seriously.   The bottom line: You deserve the very best. Here’s how I am working to deliver.   You deserve safe, professional hair removal you can trust. I take the art of sugaring, as well as your comfort and satisfaction, pretty seriously. I am a licensed esthetician who is also trained as a sugaring educator for Tamara's Professional Body Sugaring 
 
You deserve Products that work well and are good for you too. At Body Bar(e), I am always on the lookout for new, effective and fun products to bring to my clients. From the magic of Serious Serum to curb irritation and ingrown hairs, the vibrant and fun eye shadow colors in Medusa Cosmetics, the mind blowing skin care line Meg21 that has invested years of research in their skin care products that work to fight AGES (advanced glycation end products) and  the additional comfort brought to you by No Scream Cream. I will always be looking for the latest and greatest thing to show you at your next appointment.  
You deserve to support a small business that walks its talk. I am proud to be a small, local, woman-owned business. And I work hand in hand with as many other great small, local businesses as I can! I eat their treats, drink their lattes, hang their art on my walls, and sell their amazing products right here in the studio every chance can.   You deserve to be a part of something bigger. I regularly donate time, products, services, and money to worthy causes near and far. I am constantly discovering and supporting new organizations, but here are a few of my consistent soft spots: Local Artists, The Pegasus Foundation, An organization called Don't Sell Bodies -headed by Jada Pinkett Smith - that is bringing a world wide focus to the huge problem of human trafficking in our country and others.   
 
I hope this gives you a little glimpse into my business and myself and makes your sugaring experience at Body Bar(e) a little sweeter!

Why would guys get a Brazillian?

Male Body Hair Removal in the USA.

Why??

In the USA hair is not looked upon as desirable even on men. Athletes have been shaving chest, legs, arm pits and back for decades now and the latest trend is the Male Brazilian Waxing.
Most women say they get brazillians or bikini hair removal for themselves not anyone else. The results are more comfortable, look more maintained and in the long run it just feels better. For men, the back and chest are the most common, but for the adventurous, a little manscaping "down there" can change your world! At Body Bar(e), we use the Sugaring Technique for hair removal. Sugaring seeps down the hair follicle to the dermal papilla to fully remove the hair and allow the follicle to shrink. The next hair the grows will be finer and weaker then the one before. Eventually, the follicle will collapse and hair will no longer grow.

Male Waxing is ideal for men who:
  • workout
  • practice sports
  • active men
  • men who like the smooth look and feel
  • men who wax to please their partner
Most people are apprehensive about their first sugaring. They wonder "Is it going to hurt"?
Yes, it is, but it won't be the worst pain you've ever dealt with. I hear it all the time from clients in the studio, "oh it hurts but the results are so worth because who wants to shave ever single day when you can sugar every 3-4 weeks and when the hair comes back, it's softer and less noticeable".
Body Bar(e) is a clean and professional environment. Call us today to find out more and visit our website.

Body Bar(e) now has CAVI LIPO: Cavi-Lipo FAQ’s



Okay, I've been talking to many of you about the Cavi Lipo fat reduction system and the Hypervibe vibrational plate coming soon to Body Bar(e)...

Well, I am excited to announce that IT IS HERE!!
The following are some questions and answers about the
Cavi Lipo system.


**Watch your email for a special limited time promotion I will be running  to highlight both the Cavi Lipo and the Hypervibe. 


Cavi-Lipo FAQ’s

How does it work?

The science behind Cavi-lipo.. High frequency ultrasound wave stimulates and vibrates the fat cell at such a high rate it causes tiny air molecules to form that are negative in pressure. These tiny air “bubbles” force their way out of the cell and by doing so burst the fat cell. That same ultrasound wave passing through the surface skin stimulates and oxygenates the surface cells causing a firming and tightening of the skin. The Cavi-Lipo system reduces fat cells, improves cellulite, tightens skin and improves lymphatic drainage. The FDA has cleared Cavi-Lipo for use in the USA.

What can I expect at my appointments?
You can expect approximately a 60 minute session. This includes the Cavi treatment, a session on the vibrational plate and the rebounder. The Cavi-Lipo treatment is completely painless. There is sometimes a mild heat sensation similar to a hot stone massage. Each treatment your technician will glide the hand piece with firm pressure over the treatment area for 30 minutes. Prior to treatment a picture will be taken of the area. After at least 3 treatments a second picture will be taken. After you are done with each treatment you can get back to your normal activities immediately with absolutely no downtime, pain, swelling or any discomfort.

What happens if I miss an appointment?
It is not recommended that you miss an appointment. Prior to starting the Cavi-Lipo treatment, it is important that you are committed to therecommended lifestyle protocol which includes at least a series of 8 treatments (4 weeks) and being compliant with a lymphatic drainage protocol.

How is it different from other “non-invasive” body slimming techniques?
The Cavi-Lipo is an ultrasound/radio frequency technology considered safe and effective by the FDA.

Is there any downtime?
Absolutely ZERO downtime. During the treatment you will feel no discomfort, no anesthesia will be used and you can assume normal activities immediately following each treatment.

What areas of the body can I use Cavi-Lipo® on?
The Cavi-Lipo is effective for all body areas where localized fat deposits or cellulite exists that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Does it work on Cellulite?
Yes, low frequency ultrasound (40kHz) generally works well on cellulite by focusing the ‘cavitation effect’ on the superficial fat tissue.

Is it safe?
Cavi-Lipo treatment is 100% non-invasive and causes no bruising, scaring and zero downtime. During the treatment you will feel no discomfort, no anesthesia will be used and you can assume normal activities immediately following each treatment.

Is it safe if I have a medical condition such as diabetes?
Yes, with two exceptions. If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, Cavi-Lipo should not be used. Additionally, if you have a pacemaker, this treatment is not for you. There are no known detrimental risks but potential unknown risks may exist. Cavi-Lipo may not be as effective on patients with diabetes or thyroid disorders where the metabolic system is potentially impaired.

Are there any side effects?
The majority of clients have reported no adverse side effects. Most common are headaches immediately following the treatment or a strong desire to naturally eliminate waste within a day or two following the treatment. This is the body’s way of expelling toxins. It takes approximately 72 hours for the body to process the material that has been produced.

How long has the Cavi-Lipo been used?
The Cavi-Lipo System made its debut in the USA in spring of 2012. However the systems has been used by tens of thousands of people from around the world for several years.

Is it effective?
Yes, with the Cavi-Lipo treatment and by following the recommended guidelines it has a long proven track record of success.
Results may vary with different tissue structure, treatment area, age, metabolism, medications, and changes in hormones.

How long do results last?
By maintaining a healthy diet and exercise you can expect long-term results. Cavi-Lipo is especially ideal for 2 types of people: those that are already following a healthy diet and lifestyle and want to remove localized pockets of fat or drop body fat % OR those who want to use the Cavi-Lipo and the recommended lifestyle protocol to “jump start” their slimming efforts as motivation for maintaining a healthier and slimmer lifestyle.

Can I do the procedure multiple times? And how soon after my last treatment can I do a second treatment?
Yes, with additional treatments you can expect to see improved results. It is recommended to do a series of 8 in any one area to see best results. You can start an additional series of Cavi-Lipo treatments immediately following your last treatment. Speak to your technician about any discount programs that may apply.

How soon after pregnancy can I do it?
It is recommended that you wait until after your last postpartum visit with your doctor (usually 6 weeks after birth) to begin your Cavi-Lipo treatment. It is not recommended if you are breast feeding.

How long does it take to begin seeing results?
Some can see results immediately after the first treatment. Others can take up to a week to see results. Many actually see the difference after 4-6 sessions.

Is everyone a good candidate for the Cavi-Lipo treatment?
Most are good candidates. Even people who are not overweight can lose inches.

Who is not a good candidate for Cavi-Lipo?
People who..

  • Have cardiac and vascular diseases
  • Are pregnant or nursing
  • Are going through chemotherapy
  • Have liver or kidney disease
  • Have a pacemaker
  • Have metal plates in the treatment area
  • Are teenaged or younger
