High Maintenance to be Low Maintenance: Treatments to Make Your Life Easier
Let’s be real—sometimes the most “effortless” looks are the ones that actually take the most work. That’s the whole idea behind the phrase “high maintenance to be low maintenance.” At Urban Aesthetics in Gilbert, AZ, and Fishersville, VA, we’re all about helping you look like you woke up flawless, even if it took some strategic moves to get there. The right treatments can save you time, energy, and frustration while still letting you shine every single day.
Think of it this way: investing a little extra in your beauty routine now pays off in the long run with less daily fuss. No more spending forever in front of the mirror trying to perfect your brows. Forget all those daily products you use to target blemishes and texture issues. You won’t need those special primers, foundations, and concealers to mask fine lines and wrinkles. You can even stop fighting with your razor in the shower every other day. Instead, you get to focus on living your life while still looking effortlessly put together.
What Does "High Maintenance to be Low Maintenance" Mean?
This phrase might sound a little contradictory, but it’s actually genius. Being “high maintenance” in this sense means you’re willing to put in the upfront work, whether that’s professional treatments or consistent care, to make your everyday routine smoother and faster. The result? A “low maintenance” lifestyle where you can look polished without spending hours getting ready.
It’s about making smart beauty decisions that give you long-term results. Why keep repeating the same draining tasks every morning when a few targeted treatments can do the heavy lifting for you? It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing smarter.
Best HM to be LM Treatments
When it comes to going high maintenance to be low maintenance, a few treatments stand out as total game-changers. At Urban Aesthetics, we offer exactly what you need to keep your beauty routine streamlined but stunning.
Laser Hair Reduction
If shaving, waxing, or plucking constantly eats up your time, laser hair reduction is your ticket to freedom. This treatment targets hair follicles to reduce and even eliminate regrowth, leaving your skin smooth without the hassle of daily maintenance. Imagine months (sometimes years) without worrying about unwanted hair. That’s the definition of smart investment in your self-care.
Eyebrow Lift and Tint
Perfect brows are one of those details that instantly make you look put together. An eyebrow lift and tint does the hard work for you, shaping and darkening your brows so you don’t have to spend your mornings filling them in with powders or pencils. Waking up with already defined brows is the ultimate power move for anyone wanting to look sharp with zero effort.
Regular Facials
There’s a reason why facials aren’t just a one-time luxury. Committing to regular facials every four-to-six weeks keeps your skin clear, glowing, and youthful without you having to layer on makeup every day to fake it. These treatments also help with things like hydration, clogged pores, and overall skin texture. It’s a “maintenance” step that sets you up to look radiant with less reliance on complicated skincare hacks.

Tox
Fine lines, wrinkles, and that tired look you just can’t shake—neurotoxins like Xeomin, Jeuveau, Botox, and Dysport are designed to handle it all. At Urban Aesthetics, we offer all of these options so you can choose what works best for your goals. The beauty of tox is that it doesn’t just smooth your skin, it also keeps you looking refreshed and youthful day in and day out. That means less makeup, less effort, and more confidence.
CoolPeel
If you’ve been dreaming of smoother skin without the endless cycle of scrubs, masks, and creams, the CoolPeel CO2 Laser is your ultimate shortcut. This advanced laser skin resurfacing treatment targets the outermost layer, revealing fresh, glowing skin underneath, all with minimal downtime compared to traditional CO2 lasers. Think fewer fine lines, reduced sun damage, and a more even complexion. It’s the kind of high maintenance choice that makes you look naturally radiant with way less effort in your daily routine.
Microneedling
Microneedling is one of those treatments that sounds intense but works like magic for anyone chasing that “effortlessly good skin” look. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, it stimulates collagen and elastin production. It’s basically your body’s way of tightening, smoothing, and plumping from the inside out. Over time, microneedling reduces the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and uneven texture, leaving you with skin that requires less makeup and less fuss. It’s a small investment for a huge confidence payoff.
At Home: High Maintenance to be Low Maintenance Habits
The truth is, professional treatments set the foundation, but what you do at home makes all the difference. A big part of living that “high maintenance to be low maintenance” lifestyle is being intentional with your daily choices, and skincare is at the top of the list.
Instead of guessing your way through the drugstore aisle, investing in high-quality skincare pays off with long-term results. At Urban Aesthetics, we carry medical-grade skincare products from brands like NOON®, ZO® Skin Health, and Skinbetter®, each designed for better skin health and appearance. These results-driven products help with a variety of concerns, from skin tone and texture to signs of aging and overall radiance.
Every face is unique, which is why one-size-fits-all skincare rarely delivers. The best way to simplify your routine while still getting real results is with a personalized plan. That’s where we come in! Schedule a skincare consultation with Urban Aesthetics so we can build a routine that works for your skin’s needs and goals. It’s one of the smartest ways to put in the effort now and enjoy effortless, glowing skin every day.
