Beauty and wellness often go hand-in-hand because how we look directly impacts how we feel. From our clothing choice, to how we style our hair, to the way we fit into our clothes, and the shape of our face, the way we look, how we maintain our physical selves sends a message to others and ourselves about who we are.
More importantly, our physical and intellectual well-being are crucial steps to maintaining two of the eight dimensions of wellness that govern how we stay healthy and whole individuals. All dimensions overlap and play one another, so it’s crucial to have a strong and balanced mixture of all realms. But what is wellness, and why should you maintain it?
According to the National Wellness Institute, wellness is defined as “an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence”. The best version of yourself is someone who has a strong grasp on how to balance all 8 dimensions of wellness to live a sustainable and healthy life. Here is what all 8 dimensions of wellness consist of:
8 Dimensions of Wellness
- Physical: Maintain an appropriate level of physical activity, hygiene, healthy food, and sleep. Engage in self-care behaviors that will prevent illness, disease and maintain the body.
- Intellectual/Mental: Foster your unique talents, pushing your brain towards more difficult tasks, thoughts, and activities, and your ability to continue to learn and grow.
- Emotional: Develop and sustain healthy and satisfying relationships while being able to adapt to life’s challenges.
- Social: Spend time with others, connect to people who have the same interests as you do, and recognize when you are in an unhealthy relationship and when to step away from it are all elements of social wellness.
- Spiritual: Spiritual wellness has to do with your beliefs and what you find meaningful. This is the basis of your morality, how you view yourself, and what it means to be a good individual.
- Environmental: Maintain your environment in a way that supports your well-being through organization, cleanliness, and resources. A healthy environment is one that supports well-being and creates a positive atmosphere of healthy habits that uplift you. Spending time in a safe and comfortable space.
- Financial: Acquire financial stability, feel satisfied with your current and future financial goals, or work towards making a change until you are happy with your finances.
- Occupational: Occupy a career that enriches and satisfies your personal interests and skills for daily work.
Work Towards Wholeness
Connecting your body, mind, and spirit is a challenging but rewarding process. It’s important to check in on your overall wellness and reflect on what is working to increase how well-rounded and healthy you are versus what aspects of your life detract from it.
Once you identify the positives and negatives you can then maintain what is working and cut out what is holding you back from achieving wholeness.
When the 8 dimensions of wellness are in balance it becomes easier to navigate life and focus on more about what you care about, feel more optimistic, and move throughout your life without getting in your own way. By maintaining all 8 aspects of wellness it will be easier for you to age, overcome difficult situations, and feel more fulfillment.

Lady Gaga swears by the power of infrared sauna treatments to help relieve the pain and symptoms she has from fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition. Today, an infrared sauna treatment is easier than ever with comfortable and convenient infrared sauna blankets. Are you intrigued yet?
During traditional infrared sauna treatment, you sit in a large, enclosed box that emits infrared light rays. Infrared rays heat your body directly without warming the air around you. These sauna treatments cause bodily reactions that resemble a vigorous workout — your heart rate climbs, you sweat, and your body releases a rush of feel-good endorphins.
An infrared sauna blanket does the same thing, only you lay under a heated blanket that wraps around you instead of sitting in a box. Under your toasty warm blanket, all you have to do is close your eyes, relax, and maybe throw on some good tunes to keep you company. During treatment, you’ll have the option to adjust the blanket settings to a heat that’s comfortable to you.
An infrared sauna blanket boasts numerous wellness benefits — keep reading to find out more!
5 Incredible Wellness Benefits of Sauna Blanket Sessions
If you’re looking for a new way to pamper your body, infrared sauna blankets are the wellness treatment you need. Treatment has few risks, and each session is incredibly relaxing for your mind and body. Here are some of the amazing wellness benefits you can expect.
- Better heart health. Infrared sauna blankets can improve your cardiovascular health. Research suggests that infrared treatments help reduce oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and lower blood pressure — all of which positively impact your heart health.
- Pain relief. One of the leading benefits of sauna blanket sessions is relief from chronic pain. If you have joint pain and stiffness or tight, tense muscles, sauna sessions can help reduce inflammation and soothe your aches and pains. A sauna blanket session may be especially helpful if you’re living with a chronic condition like rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue syndrome.
- A clearer complexion. It’s time to add infrared sauna blanket sessions to your skincare routine! Each heated session can improve blood circulation in your body (thus sending fresh oxygen and nutrients to your skin) and help you sweat out pore-clogging dirt, oils, and bacteria.
- Better mood and sleep. Ah, one of the most enjoyable advantages of infrared blankets: the endorphin rush and elevated heart rate that comes from a good workout….without having to work out. It’s the best of both worlds. A sauna blanket session can cause your body to release all the feel-good hormones that put you in a better mood and help you sleep more peacefully at night. Some people experience a reduction in depression and anxiety symptoms following treatment.
- A deep sense of relaxation. At the end of a long day, a good sweat session under an infrared blanket can help you relax, unwind, lower your blood pressure, and feel far less stressed. Simply relaxing enough to lower your stress level unlocks so many benefits to your health and well-being, from better sleep and weight control to a stronger immune system and less pain.

Diet and exercise will do wonders for your body but if you are looking to get rid of specific stubborn areas of body fat that won’t disappear with regular effort alone, what are your options?
Bodysculpting is a great method to get rid of specific areas of extra fat on the body for a smooth and sculpted look. Non-invasive body sculpting in particular is the ideal method that allows you to save time and resume normal activities.
Improving your body and feeling confident in your skin shouldn’t be a chore, come with a plethora of rules or recovery time. If you are looking for the ideal way to get the look you want and be able to jump back into your routine, non-invasive body sculpting is right for you. Here are four reasons why non-invasive body sculpting may be right for you.
1. It’s Incision Free
Unlike traditional body treatments such as liposuction or tummy tucks, non-invasive body sculpting does not cut into your skin, requiring any stitches or anesthesia.
With invasive fat reduction surgeries, there is a long recovery period of about six weeks, and it typically comes with discomfort, bruising, redness, swelling, and restrictive garment wear. There is a very precise after-care regimen that is necessary to minimize scarring from incisions that need to heal.
Pain medication, taking daily walks and getting enough bed rest are just a few requirements for healing properly when it comes to invasive body sculpting procedures.
Instead, non-invasive bodysculpting allows you to resume daily activities right after the treatment and does not require long periods of bed rest or aftercare because the dead cells are flushed out of your body naturally.
2. Lower Risk
When undergoing any kind of surgery, there is a risk of complications. Whether it is liposuction or restrictive surgeries working to shrink the size of the stomach; these are surgical procedures that will have a level of risk.
Bodysculpting is not a weight-loss solution. It is a solution to reduce and minimize problem areas of stubborn fat. There is a much lower risk of complication for a non-invasive body treatment such as body sculpting whether that is our Coolsculpting or Vanquishing treatment.
3. Lower Cost
Beauty and wellness are usually industry services that end up being pricey in comparison to other types of day-to-day expenses. But if you are looking for a low-cost option that will not break the bank, non-invasive fat reduction treatments are ideal for keeping your body care in check.
Coolsculpting is not as dramatically expensive as an elective surgery such as lipo or putting in a gastric band to restrict the amount of food your stomach can house has a deep dent in your pockets. Instead, choose the safer and less expensive option.
4. No Scarring
Unlike traditional fat loss surgery, body sculpting does not require any incisions during the process. Because of this, you will not encounter any scarring after the treatment. Unfortunately, this is a risk you are taking when you undergo fat reduction treatments such as liposuction that surgically remove fat from the body.
With bodysculpting you won’t have to worry about damaged healthy tissue for the areas of the body you are trying to trim down.
Our Bodysculpting Options
Coolsculpting
This body sculpting option freezes away fat with a process called cryolipolysis idea for reducing localized fat that doesn’t respond to traditional diet and exercise. This method is ideal for the chin, upper arms, hips (great for attacking love handles), and underneath the buttocks.
Fat cells under the skin are frozen using a handheld applicator. First, a gel pad is applied to the area to protect the skin. Next, fat is suctioned into the applicator’s opening. A tugging or pulling sensation is part of the Vanquish process.
Vanquish
Slim multiple areas of your body by eliminating fat located on problem areas such as your stomach, and thighs using radiofrequency energy to remove fat cells.
Fat cells are heated using the applicator, pinpointed on target locations while the client lies down. A warm sensation will be felt, similar to the heat from a hot-water bottle or a heating pad during the treatment.
How it Works
Once you book a consultation at our Med Spa on the day of your appointment your clinician will explain how the procedure works and pinpoint the areas of fat reduction. Individual patients require different approaches to fat loss.
Going to a med spa can be a fun and exciting experience for many, but what are the actual benefits?
A medical spa offers so much more than the average day spa because guests have access to doctor’s office procedures along with traditional spa offerings. In this case, Rejuvenate Restore Med Spa is under the direction of board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. James L. Chappuis.
People of all ages, backgrounds, and interests can benefit from a non-surgical aesthetic medical center to improve appearance, beauty, health, and wellness.
Our med spa is proud to announce our grand opening here at Rejuvenate Restore Med Spa, and we would love to share why everyone needs a med spa day:
1. Reduces stress
Relaxation is key to stress reduction. If you are having racing thoughts, feel overwhelmed at work, or are bombarded by taking care of your family, you may be experiencing some signs of stress. Massage at a spa is a great way to reduce stress levels and temper the feeling of overwhelm. By relaxing the body that has been in a tense position due to stress, you lower your cortisol levels, therefore lowering your stress. Enjoy a 60-minute or 90-minute massage and let your stress melt away.
The stressors of everyday life place wear and tear on the body on individuals who have sedentary work and living environments, let alone the wear on the body for more active lifestyles. Your body, mind, and spirit can always use a refresh. The same way that you get ready for work the night before, or meal prep for your week ahead, a med spa will restore and reenergize your body for your upcoming week.
2. Regain confidence
Whether you are great at keeping up with your beauty and skincare routine, or find yourself busy during the week, a medspa is ideal for getting back to your happy, healthy, confident self.
There are many ways to improve skin confidence, depending on what you want to accomplish. At Rejuvenate Restore Med Spa, we offer a variety of facial options for aging, acne, or discoloration. For example, we offer options such as an acupuncture facial, a hydra facial, or a PCA skin peel or focus on specific skin treatments such as micro-needling or dermaplaning.
3. Digital detox
Disconnecting from digital spaces and reconnecting with your body will do wonders for your overall wellbeing. As life progresses through more and more digital environments, we find much of our communication, entertainment, recreational activities, and work occupying digital space
Unplugging from online environments not only reconnects you with your physicality but allows you to regain present-moment awareness that is often abdicated after long periods within digital mediums. Having a moment of digital detox creates stronger immersion for present activities, sensory awareness, and longer attention spans that can deeply nourish your sense of wellness. Lose track of the outside world and reconnect to yourself with nourishing, luxurious treatments.
4. Sculpt your body
Whether you are looking to maintain your appearance, or smooth out certain areas, a med spa is designed to provide you with non-surgical aesthetic options that will improve your overall look. Coolsculpting is one of the body sculpting treatments that is a non-invasive way to give you the figure that you desire. This technique is a procedure that will freeze fat cells on desired areas of the body to remove fat from the body. Another option available is vanquishing treatment, which uses infrared technology to heat fat cells and destroy them.
5. Get better sleep
Adults need around seven or more hours of sleep a night to be healthy and energetic throughout the day according to the CDC. The trick is being able to make time for enough hours of sleep in the day, fall asleep faster, and have deep, restorative sleep. According to the CDC, about 70 million people living in America have trouble sleeping.
Activities such as facials, massage, and wellness treatments that create a relaxed atmosphere, clear your mind and lower your cortisol levels; the ideal way to relax and better your chances of restful sleep. Our Infrared Sauna Blanket is ideal for relaxation and sleep promotion. It deeply cleanses your body, calms your mind, reduces stress, and puts you to sleep. Many of us struggle to get a full 8 hours of sleep or fall asleep right away and relaxation is the number one way to access that restful state.
Rejuvenate Restore Med Spa would like to formally announce its grand opening and welcome new guests! We are specifically designed to foster health and wellness relationships with those interested in bridging the gap between their beauty and health regimens. Med spas are the ideal place to experience a multitude of benefits all while improving your appearance in a luxurious environment.
