Brighten Up!

Did You Know?

Age spots aren’t caused by age.

They are caused by the sun.

“Sunshine is an attack on the skin, and one way the skin defends itself is to make pigment,” explains Ranella Hirsch, M.D., a cosmetic dermatologist in Cambridge, MA, and president-elect of the American Society of Cosmetic Dermatology & Aesthetic Surgery. If a patient is skeptical about her spots being solar related, Dr. Hirsch asks her to move her bra over a quarter of an inch to expose the skin that the sun never hits. “And then she sees what I mean,” she says. “If these changes really came from aging, you’d have them all over.”

How Can Med Spas Help?

1.     Light-based treatments: Lasers and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL or Photo Facials). Most of the time, several treatment sessions are necessary.

2.     Chemical Peels

3.     Skin Care Products to use at home

Bonus

Many of the treatments will also help with wrinkles!
I love a combination of Photo Facials and Chemical Peels.
And, of course, my Retin A.

April is Rosacea Awareness Month

Dr. Bailey gives us excellent and timely information, as usual:

The skin changes of rosacea can be progressive.
Unfortunately we don’t know why they happen.

We do know how to help control it though.
If you think you might have rosacea now is the best time ever to explore that question.”

Do you have rosacea?

Do you experience occasional facial flushing from

• exercising?
• eating spicy foods?
• drinking a glass of wine?

What Laser Hair Removal Can Do For You

• No more bumps, redness, irritation, infections
• No 5 o’clock shadow
• No more embarrassment

That’s what Georgia told us.

Before

Georgia is a 34 year old Caucasian female who had a medical condition that caused her hair follicles to become ingrown, form painful  cysts, and get infected.

After

No more hair follicles.
Problem solved.

Georgia is ecstatic! She can now wear tank tops, not to mention bikinis.

Laser Hair Removal Myths

True or False?

Topical “Wrinkle Relaxers” vs. Botox and Dysport

“Muscles below the skin cause expression-related wrinkles, and there’s no topical product out there that can penetrate deep enough to minimize the muscle contractions that cause lines.

The companies pushing creams that (they say) are “better than Botox”… can only say their products work like Botox becase their active ingredients act on the same protein as injectables —

in a petri dish.

Bottom line:

Wrinkle-relaxing creams are a waste of time and money.”

Ageless Elaine isn’t making this up.
I am quoting Dr. Leslie Baumann (“New You,”  Spring 2011)

Peel Away the Years

Great Anti-Aging Treatment

Patty Reiman writes about chemical peels in the Spring 2011 issue of “New You”:

“Many of us are turning to the chemical peel to address the skin issues that plague us…

Most often, chemical peels are used to treat sun-damaged skin with mild wrinkling (and) uneven skin tone.”

Peels work by exfoliating the skin’s top layers and vary in strength, depending on the extent of skin damage and what you’re having treated. Usually a series of peels is necessary for desired results:

• decreased wrinkles
• reduced age/brown spots

Ageless Elaine loves her peels!

For even more improvement, peels are often rotated with other anti-aging
med spa treatments, such as fractional laser skin rejuvenation and microdermabrasion.  In fact, at Ageless Remedies SouthPark, our aestheticians feel that a “micro-chem. peel package” is often the way to go.

Don’t forget

You go to the med spa once a month.
The rest of the time — the other 30 days! — it’s important that you follow up with your skin care product regimen at home.
