It is the newest breakthrough in skin resurfacing technology.
It’s available only to physicians.

The Hydrafacial does all this — SIMULTANEOUSLY:

What Can You Expect?

• Improved acne-prone skin; less oily
• Refined skin tone & skin texture; reduced under-eye puffiness

How Does It Work?

It exfoliates dead skin cells and extracts impurities
with a vacuum-based skin abrasion tip
while simultaneously bathing the healthy underlying skin
with active serums that cleanse deeply, exfoliate thoroughly,
hydrate completely and provide residual antioxidant protection.

When you leave, you look amazing!
And the glow lasts for days.

I want one every week.

Does My Baby Need Sunscreen?

Dr. Benabio, in The Dermatology Blog, reminds us that babies’ skin is perfect
but very sensitive to the sun.

“Baby skin is thinner, has less natural moisturizers and has fewer pigment cells,
making it more vulnerable to the environment than adult skin.

This is important especially in summer.

Studies have shown that up to 83% of babies get sunburned
their first year of life.

This is our fault, not theirs.”

Tips To Keep Your Baby Safe This Summer

1. Newborns up to 6 months should be kept out of the sun.
Cover them up with light clothing and hats,
and put the top down on the stroller.

2. Babies 6 months and older should not be exposed to the sun
between 10am and 2pm. When they are outdoors,
they should have sunscreen on all exposed skin.
Because their immature skin can absorb chemicals more easily,
choose sunscreens with zinc and titanium
with an SPF of 30 or more.

3. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen near their hairline, on their ears,
and at the edges of clothing.

Choose sunscreens that are white or opaque;
it’s easier to see where you’ve applied the sunscreen,
and he’ll look cute anyway.

Ageless Elaine has babies on her mind.

We’re expecting our first grandbaby in October!

Med Spas Offer Alternatives To Surgery

Do you always look tired, angry, or stressed –
even when you’re not?

Many baby boomers are looking to delay signs of aging,
but not quite as many are willing to go under the knife to do so.

For that reason, procedures such as Botox injections and facial fillers
have been growing in popularity over the last several years,
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Botox

Some people feel that wrinkles around their add years to their appearance.

Botox erases crow’s feet, not to mention the deep frown lines between your eyebrows.

Really.

• 10 minutes.
• No surgery.
• No downtime.
• Very little discomfort.

Fillers

The name says it all.  Fill in those lines under your eyes.

No, not yourself!

That’s what Dr. G is here for.

Personally, I think that unless you have a super great plastic surgeon,
the results from these non-surgical procedures are far more natural looking.

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.

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.
