Meanwhile, if you aren’t ready for fillers there are alternatives which will help rejuvenate your skin.

Enter Cool Secret Spa’s Lena Henton, owner and certified beauty technician, who offer a number of treatments proven to improve your skin.

Henton – who has more than 18 years of experience in the health and beauty industry – has recently purchased the newest IPL (Intense Pulse Light) model available on the market.

IPL is a breakthrough noninvasive technology (with no downtime) that can correct a variety of skin conditions such as birthmarks, unwanted hair, unsightly small veins, blemishes and the signs of aging.
A treatment typically includes four to six sessions of about 20 minutes each, performed at three-to-four week intervals.

“You will first notice tightening of the skin…over time these treatments have been proven to fade fine lines,” explains Henton. “After the set of treatments clients can then switch to microdermabrasion or they can opt for annual IPL touch ups.

” The new technology afforded by this new IPL machine, says Henton, means it’s a more comfortable treatment. “It has a built-in cooling system so there’s no need to use a numbing (for pain) gel.”

With IPL you can expect 50 to 80 percent correction in pigmentation issues, fine lines and broken capillaries, adds Henton.

Another one of the fastest growing non-invasive cosmetic rejuvenation treatments is a combination of microdermabrasion and Cold Laser treatments.

Microdermabrasion is an intense exfoliation that rejuvenated the skin by way of ultra-fine crystals which safely and gently removes the upper layer of your skin.

“Cold Laser combines laser light and high frequency energy which stimulates the production of collagen and increases circulation for cellular energy and renewal,” explains Henton.

To compliment your treatments, Cool Secret Spa offers a full line of exclusive cosmecueticals (which means the products have pharmaceutical properties in them) skin care products from Agira from the United States – which are only available to dermatologists and certified beauty technicians.

Cold Laser Treatment Makes For Hot Results Michelle Hopkins / Richmond News, March 6, 2004 Baby Boomers, and everyone else who wants their skin to feel rejuvenated, listen up. I just had a treatment that has my 40-some-thing skin glowing. I booked an appointment with local certified beauty technician Lena Henton of Cool Secret Spa to have microdermabrasion and cold laser regime. That's what's new — the combination and the use of cold rather than hot laser. The two produced some wonderful results. First, Henton gave me a microdermabrasion treatment, an intense exfoliation, which felt much like a cat licking my face. It was followed by the cold laser which stimulates the production of collagen and increases circulation for cellular energy and renewal by using laser light at high frequency. Henton explained to me mat unlike hot lasers—which as many women know leaves you burned for weeks — cold laser only leaves you a little red. She was right. Although my face looked flushed, I was able to reapply my make-up and go out that evening. I must say after an hour and a half, my skin was glowing and within two days it looked and felt even better. I'm sold. I've already booked my next appointment for a month from now. Check out the treatments online at www.coolsecretspa.com or phone Henton at 604-803-5359.

Marlee T, Richmond, 2004 Lena's treatment made a huge difference in the appearance of my skin. It's now smooth and many of my friends think I have had cosmetic surgery!

Vanessa H., Richmond, 2004 Thank you Lena for your wonderful facial treatment. I, quite frankly was a skeptic and went to satisfy my own curiosity and I'm glad I did. My Microdermabrasion & Light Therapy treatment left my face feeling and looking like it was as a baby. See you soon.

Kori, Richmond, 2004 Since I started using the cold laser at Cool Secret Spa I have noticed a significant difference in the hair re-growth on my face. I have tried many different methods of hair removal and would reccomend cold laser to anyone who wants to get rid of unwanted hair.

Louise D., age 44 I am a woman in my forties who is now facing acne and wrinkles at the same time. My face was discoloured from sun exposure and acne scars. I have tried every product in the store to try to even things out. Because of my sensitive skin I would often react to different products and trudge back to the store for yet another cream without success. Adding to the mess were dark hairs growing in circular patches on my chin. Not sexy. I am a busy healthy professional who needs to look good to my clients.Quite frankly I never even thought of surgery and the thought of using harsh chemicals and treatmenst on my face scared me. Enter micodermabasion and cold laser therapy. After four visits there is a striking difference. My skin tone is more even and I can leave the home without foundation...something I haven't been able to do for years. People have commented that I look younger and ask me what I have been doing to achieve this.. "Is it all those vitamins you take or doing all that exercise, Louise", they ask? It's kind of fun to keep my little secret! The treatments are very relaxing and there was no down time after them (when you have to wait for your face to heal). You can immediately go out into the world with a fresh face. As an added bonus my facial hairs are much lighter in colour and a breeze to pluck out. I don't feel old and I am glad that I now don't look old either.

Don L., Richmond, March 2005 As a man, when I first was introduced to the benefits of microdermabrasion and cool laser treatments, I had some reservations and questions. Determined to keep an open mind and a willingness to finally take control over the effects of decades ( I am now in my mid 50's) of improper skin care resulting from sun exposure, pollution, teenage acne and lack of proper moisturizing, I booked my first appointment with Lena Henton at Cool Secret Spa over a year ago, I was firstly very impressed with Lena's knowledge of skin care and the benefits of cool light treatments. Her professional and honest approach made treatment a relaxing and therapeutic experience. Secondly to my pleasant surprise the benefits I have received by the treatments have left a dramatic difference in the appearance and condition of my skin. I have been so impressed that I have continued taking treatments. Today my skin is much smoother and healthier. Thanks to Lena and her Cool Secret Spa treatments I not only look better, I feel better, boosting my confidence and self esteem. I highly recommend Cool Secret Spa to anyone.

Cosmetic Rejuvenation A Special Information Supplement / The Province Newspaper, April 26, 2005 With 40 looming, Dr. Louise Demorest was starting to take notice of those little fine wrinkles and sunspots that peppered her face. That is until she discovered her secret weapon: a combination of microdermabrasion and Cold Laser treatments. From the very first treatment, the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and herbalist noticed a huge difference. "People and patients have come up to me and said wow, you look great... what did you do?" says Demorest. "I didn't want Botox or surgery... this is completely natural." Demorest noticed a marked improvement in the texture of her skin, saying it more evenly reflects light and her skin tone is more even. "It's me, just me with more glowing, healthier looking skin," says Demorest, adding she goes without make up for the first time in years. Lena Henton, owner and operator of Cool Secret Spa, who gives Demorest her hour and a half-long treatments, says many clients echo Demorest's feelings. "The combination of both treatments together offers clients much faster results," says Henton. "Also, clients who have had plastic surgery find that these treatments help prolong their results." The combination works well together because both perform different functions. Microdermabrasion is an intense exfoliation that rejuvenates the skin by using ultra-fine aluminium oxide crystals to remove the upper layer of your skin. The crystals are blasted onto the skin as a vacuum tube sweeps both the crystals and the skin's cellular debris. "The vacuum also pulls the blood to the surface, stimulating the blood flow to the surface... something that can't be done with an exfoliator at home," explains Henton. Henton says although customers notice immediate results, after about the third or fourth treatment (for optimum results six treatments are suggested), there is a real visible change in the appearance of the skin. Combine that with the Cold Laser (or Low Level Laser Therapy) - which is the fastest growing new aesthetic service being offered throughout Canada - and you are going to have skin that is not only smoother, but firmer and more toned. Cool Laser is a high-technology tool that combines laser light and high frequency. Natural ionizing and photo-energy products are placed on the skin during the treatment to safely deliver the laser below the skin's surface to oxygenate and renew tissue cells.

Michelle Hopkins Richmond News, June 1, 2005 A few months ago, I wrote about the microdermabrasion and cool touch treatments I was receiving and a few of you have asked me how my skin is today. Well, I'm hooked and my skin is smoother and healthier. It also helps that I trust and like Lena Henton, owner/certified technician off Cool Secret Spa, who gives me my treatments once a month. I actually asked a plastic surgeon if these treatments worked. Dr. Carruthers told me they do and are, in fact, one of the fastest growing, noninvasive cosmetic rejuvenation treatments available. Treatments are available with Henton at two Richmond locations - Pristine's in Coppersmith Mall and Design Tech at No.3 Road and Francis.

Jacqui S., age 41 In my late 30's I noticed the effects of sun and the aging process. I started seeing Lena 3 years ago for Microdermabrasion, IPL and Cool Light Laser Therapy. I cannot believe the dramatic results! People are always amazed by my age. The best part is that I can go in for a treatment and out for dinner the same day. I highly recommend Lena and Cool Secret Spa to anyone who wants a second chance at a youthful appearance.   Diane 2008 I immediately noticed that my pores are smaller. My skin is tighter and definitely brighter in appearance. I get great advise on home care and which Agera products are best for me. Having these treatments regularly has kept my skin in peak condition. A.S.M 2009 I have had several surgeries in the past and due to my skin's ability to develop keloids, I inquired about the ability of light and IPL therapies to help reduce this ugly result. To my surprise, the keloids from 4 years ago flattened out by the 4th treatment. And the most recent surgical scar almost disappeared because I got right to it. I highly recommend this procedure to everyone especially done by a Lena Dinnell Karen 2009 I started seeing Lena in December for acne & scaring. She started my on Microdermbrasion and Photo rejuvenation facials and within 3 treatments I noticed major improvement. By the 4th treatment we were debating whether I needed the whole 6. Lena has been a great help in getting and maintaining my clear skin. Thanks Lena!
