At some point or the other in your life, you must have done an online research along with that offline research about the acne treatment reviews as that would help you to know which one is actually the best acne treatment available in the market that would cater to your needs in the best way. During all these researches, you must have come across all those acne sites which tell all about acne and other things related to it. So, apart from getting the desired feedback from the users and bloggers, you also get to know more about pimples and acne in a comprehensive way. This way, you can also share your view, give reviews about it to other needy people in a more clear way. As through these online discussion forums, you get to interact with individuals who have been suffering and fighting acne problems from a very young age and that would have left a bitter memory in their head.

This is no hidden fact that there is no dearth of good, effective acne treatments in the market, likewise about the information available online today about them. But, the question is how to decide which is more suitable and better than the other? This makes the acne sufferers more confused and frustrated by the end of the day. All they need is a solution. Also, deep down inside, these individuals are well versed with the fact that there is no guarantee whether the product or the treatment would give them the desired, permanent result. It might not work for them the way they had anticipated or expected it to be. Of course no one can assure or give guarantees but satisfaction and results can be seen only after you undergo the treatment.

There are thousands of options available to individuals today for getting acne treated and cured but which one to choose seems a difficult task to them. Thus, with acne treatment review sites and forums, one can decide better and ask queries easily with each other.

Once you have decided what kind of treatment you would like to opt for from the various options available to you such as laser skin treatment, home remedies, prescribed drugs by the dermatologist, over the counter drugs, naturally curing methods or through online treatment of acne. It is you who needs to take a step further and decide through all these forums and sites, which one would suit you the best.

If you are considering ways to look a little younger, you might be thinking about getting Botox. This substance is popular because it has a reputation for working well, and if for some reason you do not like the results, they can fade away within about a year since the treatment is not permanent. Before you check out this procedure, find out what areas of your face it can smooth out.

The most commonly fixed area is the forehead, as Botox can quickly eliminate the wrinkles that many people get here. These appear when you are worried, and with time, they stick around since your skin is so used to bunching up here. The same happens between your eyes, as you may notice some obvious lines that take a long time to go away after you furrow your brow. The result is that you end up looking worried, older, or both, none of which is desirable. You can easily remove this issue with this type of substance. Just talk to a doctor near you to find out how to get started.

Though the forehead and area between the eyes are the most popular places to get Botox, the outside corners of the eyes are also commonly fixed. These are called crow’s feet, and they often appear when you laugh or smile. Though you would think this would make them a sign of beauty since they should remind you and others of good times, they usually look like a sign of aging instead. If you want to avoid this result, get injections that will keep the skin and muscle beneath from making that motion. When the area cannot move, the wrinkles cannot form, so the skin will stay smooth for several months.

Similarly, you get laugh lines, which stretch from your mouth to your nose, when you laugh or smile often. Sometimes, you get them even if you do not make this motion a lot, such as if you do not take great care of your skin, or if you are older and it lacks elasticity. No matter your situation, if you want to look your age or even younger, you can get Botox injected into the area. It will smooth out instantly, so no matter how happy you feel, you cannot get the lasting consequences of fine lines here. The outcome is that you will likely look and feel younger, and though this should make you happy inside, getting more laugh lines will be impossible after your injection, at least until it wears off within about a year.

If you want to get more information about this substance, you should talk to a doctor or day spa near you. As long as you choose a qualified provider, you should be happy with the results. You can look much younger than you are, or at least not a day older, without having to endure surgery. You also have no recovery period to contend with when you get this treatment, so consider its benefits.

As we age, self-renewing capacities of our body naturally decline. This is because stem cell reserves of our body gradually deplete and the ability of stem cells to multiply and replace aging cells with new ones diminishes. Stressful lifestyle, malnutrition, bad habits and poor environment accelerate our body decline. Is there a chance to revert or at least slow down this process?

We offer novel anti-aging therapy using a natural, holistic approach. Our fetal stem cell programs are aimed at both the prevention of premature aging and age-related diseases, and the maintenance of youthfulness.

When introduced into a body that is aging, fetal stem cells expand stem cell reserves and trigger self-renewal processes in all the body’s organs and tissues. They also stimulate the body’s own dormant stem cells, which improves the functioning of the internal organs, boosts the immune system, and increases energy levels. The effects observed in our patients have shown genuine rejuvenation from inside!

By tailoring our treatment to the individual needs of each patient, EmCell ensures the best results from our therapy. Within 24 years, hundreds of patients have undergone anti-aging treatment at EmCell with pronounced improvements reported in 81% of cases, such as:

– higher energy level, exercise power and capacity to work;
– firmer and tighter skin, improved hair structure and growth;
– improved mental capacity, quicker thinking, better memory;
– subsiding of muscular, joint and back pain, and headaches;
– normalized functioning of internal organs;
– boosted immunity;
– stabilized metabolism, hormone levels and blood pressure;
– better sleep and the elimination of chronic fatigue;
– improved libido and sexual functions.

The advantages of our treatment are:

– lack of side effects;
– no chemicals involved;
– minimally invasive procedure (intravenous infusions and subcutaneous injections);
– no rejection risk;
– no cancer risk;
– lifetime follow-up.

Fetal stem cell administration and grafting establish a unique environment where all the body’s cells are stimulated by nature’s most powerful restorative components. Fetal stem cells restore damaged and aging cells, and make the whole body more youthful, something no medication can offer.

Facial treatment

To ensure more pronounced cosmetic effects, EmCell has developed a unique, highly effective facial treatment. The cosmetic procedures we use not only deeply nourish the skin but also stimulate the patient’s own regenerative forces, resulting in clearer, firmer and more vibrant skin after as few as 3 treatment procedures.

During facial treatment, patients are given masks containing live fetal stem cells and high concentrations of bioactive substances. The procedure is safe, painless and there are no adverse reactions.

Major improvements observed in our patients include:

– reduced skin lines and wrinkles;
– greater firmness and elasticity in the skin;
– clearer, lighter, more even-toned skin with decreased pigmentation.

Dermaplaning has become a highly sought after skin treatment, due to its ability to reveal healthy, smooth skin for a glowing facial appearance. This medical procedure is considered a safe method of exfoliating the skin and removing fine vellus hair – also called peach fuzz.

Dermaplaning is performed using a scalpel that is gently swept across the skin, sloughing off dead skin cells and fine hair. It can address a variety of cosmetic concerns, ranging from dry skin and fine hair to hyperpigmentation and wrinkles. The process is relatively quick, with most patients having their entire face treated in about 30 to 45 minutes.

Dermaplaning proves to be a viable option for many individuals, but it is especially beneficial for pregnant or nursing patients who wish to revive a dull, dry complexion. The treatment offers deep exfoliation without the potentially harmful peeling agents that can enter the bloodstream and be transferred to the baby.

Since the process only addresses the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis), there is typically no downtime or side effects. Although many people are concerned that their hair will grow back darker and thicker, this is not true. Since the hair being shed is vellus hair, it grows back exactly as it was before.

If you have any questions about dermaplaning, or wish to set up your appointment, please contact us to find a time that works with your schedule.

– Have dull, dry skin?
– Have mild acne scarring or sun damage?
– Dislike the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles?

Brain health and function is a very worrisome concern for many as the function of the brain can decline rapidly and almost overnight NAD + is an emerging breakthrough therapy in anti-aging to help repair DNA, increase energy, improve healthy brain function and aid in neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. It has been shown that by age 50 people have only 50% of the NAD+ they had in youth. By age 80 NAD+ levels drop to only 1-10%. Deficiency of NAD+ may predispose us to accelerated aging hence disease associated with aging such as neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and even cancer, among many others. NAD+ stand for “Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide” and it is found in all living cells.What’s astonishing is that it is found in every cell in your body. So needless to say, it is essential in sustaining life. It protects us against factors such as chemical stress, inflammation, as well as mitochondrial and DNA damage. This is why restoring NAD+ to your cells is being viewed as one of the most progressive tools in aiding longevity. It not only improves longevity, but it helps to improve certain conditions such as depression, anxiety and PTSD to name a few. Most impressively it has been very successful for almost 20 years in drug and alcohol detoxification. So why wouldn’t we just bottle NAD+, put it into a pill and market this so called miracle to the masses?That’s because NAD+ in supplemental form is very unstable and cannot be absorbed by the body, however intravenous administration has yielded very promising results. Researchers have been studying NAD since the early 1950s. Given the important role NAD+ plays in such a wide range of critical functions, it is exciting to think of the profound effect NAD+ IVTherapy will have in anti- aging and the support of healthy brain function.

What are Antioxidants?

What are Antioxidants? It has long been accepted and practiced that eating foods with high amounts of antioxidants slow the aging process. This has been practiced even before the term antioxidants were used.

Ancient China (and even today China) requires special foods that will cure disease,improve metabolism, and increase endurance. In India, some herbs are mixed with foods that are similar to the results that the Chinese wanted. The same goes for Brazilians and Peruvians. You have probably heard of the very powerful Brazilian super fruit, acai berry, a very powerful antioxidant..

While nearly all plant sterols are good for metabolism in the body, food is generally known to contain high concentrations of antioxidants.

Antioxidants are generally present in plants and other fruits that contain amino acids, omega 3 fatty acids, 6 and 9, and other helpful fatty acids. The presence of antioxidants in the diet will help protect body cells against free radicals and toxins.

That’s because antioxidants work so that its molecules slow and in some conditions, the oxidation of other molecules to avoid. Anti-aging treatment preparations containing anti-oxidants is often in the form of capsules, tablets and other supplements and energy drinks. Oxidation, if they are essential to preserve life, may be harmful. plants to animals and even to maintain a system of high and complex antioxidant in several types. Many of these types of plants are as free sterols and enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxides. The antioxidant most common and easily accessible is itself vitamin C and vitamin E.

One reason for the lack of supplies of antioxidants in the body is fatigue and stress. An organization that antioxidants results in oxidative stress which damages and kills cells. Addition of antioxidants to be effective as anti-aging is its ability to prevent many diseases that occur. Some types of antioxidants have demonstrated their ability to prevent the development of certain cancer cells, diabetes, heart disease and other diseases. This is one reason that foods that are rich in antioxidant properties are sought after. Others are still in such demand at high prices.

Examples of foods with the highest concentration of antioxidants:

Coffee, grapes and berries and potatoes are packed with antioxidants as well as some spices and even nuts. Car grapes for red wine is thought to be an interesting antioxidant characteristics are generally attributed to the reason the French are in better shape, despite the food they consume cholesterol, even if your skin is part of the grape, which is actually a lot of antioxidants. Coffee and Brazilian acai berries contain some of the largest concentration.

The ability to repair and maintain cells make antioxidants an ideal anti-aging agent. Antioxidants are also widely used as preservatives in foods and cosmetics. Antioxidants are also widely used in industrial applications where it is important to prevent tooth decay.

The natural ingredients found in Xtend Life’s products contain antioxidants. Xtend TK contains powerful antioxidants which work enzymatically to enhance their clean-up power. Unlike other antioxidants, which require a molecule of antioxidant to be sacrificed by free radicals, one molecule of these powerful Xtend TK antioxidants can neutralise large numbers of free radicals! Xtend TK also stimulates the body’s own natural antioxidants.

Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant that prevents other fat-soluble vitamins from destruction by oxygen and therefore acts as a natural preservative.
Phytessence Wakame – a Japanese ‘beauty preserver’ a powerful antioxidant derived from seaweed from the Sea of Japan – Rated by the Japanese for their ability to maintain a youthful skin – Rich in calcium and other important minerals, vitamins, over Group B – antioxidant moisturizing and softening – proven to increase elasticity of the skin – and helps heal dry, irritated skin.

Still confused on “What are Antioxidants?”. Here is another great article that can explain the significance.

Back acne is a problem that affects most people at one time or another. It can be embarrassing when going to the pool or beach and you remove your shirt or wear a bathing suit with back exposed. It can also be quite painful at times and irritating. The following article will give some valuable tips as to treatment and prevention of back acne.

Back Acne Causes

It is often difficult to pinpoint the exact causes of most types of acne, back acne is no different. What is known is that irritation can make it worse. If acne is showing up more persistent in certain parts of your body, such as your back, perhaps it has to do with certain clothing or maybe a backpack. Tight fitting clothing contributes to promoting acne, by trapping sweat against the skin and clogging pores. Sometimes back acne is just caused by a hormone unbalance or poor diet.

Back Acne Treatment

The first part of controlling back acne is cleanliness; you should wash daily with a cleanser that contains salicylic acid. You should also shower immediately after engaging in any physical activity in which you were sweating. Follow up your shower with a body moisturizer that contains Alfa Hydroxy acid. This will exfoliate skin and help prevent breakouts, without drying skin out.

At night time, before going to bed, you can treat back acne the same as facial acne by applying a zapping gel or a cream to your acne.

If your back acne is light to moderate you could use a Regimen. The Regimen works well but remember that it contains benzoyl peroxide and it will have a bleaching effect on any clothing that comes into contact with it. I would suggest wearing white shirts if you plan on using this as your form of back acne treatment.

For stubborn acne and severe cases you may have to get an antibiotic prescription, or prescription strength Retin-A. Acne on the back is much more resistant to treatment and the skin is tougher, so it will need to be treated aggressively. As a last resort, you could try Accutane.

One homemade remedy you could try is by using a combination of lye soap and tea tree oil. This helps oily skin and will help reduce acne and make your skin soft.

Back Acne Tips

Always wear cotton clothing, loose fitting is best.

You can apply powder to keep your back dry.

If necessary apply anti-perspirant to your back, dont do this if you are going to engage in physical activity because sweating is needed to help cool the body.

Always wear clean clothes, bras and T-shirts when working out and put a clean towel down before lying on exercise machines or mats at the gym.

Shower as soon as possible after perspiring.

You should probably change your shirt twice a day whether you exercise or not to avoid bacteria buildup that can further aggravate your acne.
Although back acne is not as severe as other types of acne but when not treated properly it sometimes leads to scars and cysts.

Swelling – usually lasting up to three days, but it is usually only associated with the deeper peels.

Pain – again, this is only really seen with the deeper peels and may last for a few hours only.

Redness – most superficial peels produce a mild amount of redness that persists for a few days only. Medium to deep peels can cause redness that can persist for up to a month.

Itchiness – This is only common after medium and deep chemical peels.

Ocular injury – Care must be taken during the procedure to avoid the peel from entering the eye.

Allergic reactions – uncommon, although peels such as the Jessner peel have a higher rate of allergy. Anti-histamines may be taken before, if an allergy is known, or after.

Folliculitis /acne – this occurs commonly as a result of the emollient creams used during healing. Antibiotics may be required to heal these eruptions.

Bacterial/fungal infection – is uncommon. It can, however, lead to scarring. This is usually only associated with medium to deep peels.

Herpes simplex recurrence – is common and needs to be treated with anti-viral medication to prevent spread and scarring.

Hyperpigmentation – dark patches over the peeled areas. This usually occurs over the deeper parts of the peel and is a result of inflammation causing release of melanin/pigmentation from the skin (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). This is usually temporary, although it can last for up to 2 years. Treatment usually involves a lightening agent such as hydroquinone.

Hypopigmentation – is a loss of pigmentation and usually occurs in darker skin types after peeling. This can be permanent sometimes.

Telangiectasia – are small red vessels under the skin and can become more prominent with peeling. The vessels are easily treated with lasers such as the Gemini laser.

Milia – this are small white cysts that form about 2 to 3 weeks after the skin has re-epitheliased (grown over). It can be due to blockage of the skin due to emoillent creams used after chemical peeling. They can be removed with a needle or lancet.

Demarcation lines – this is usually a result of medium to deeper peels, and the line of where the peel was used and the untouched skin is noticeable even after the skin has healed.

Scarring – a very uncommon complication of chemical peels. This is usually associated with a history of poor healing or keloid scarring. Scarring is more likely the deeper the peel. A early sign of scarring is persistent redness and itchiness. This needs to be treated with a topical steroid.

Preparing the skin:
Prepare the skin for a TCA chemical peel using Retin-A or a weekly glycolic acid peel for 2-4 weeks before the TCA peel. I believe glycolic acid is better because I don’t have all the side effects that come with Retin-A (and I don’t need a prescription). Please see my page How to do an at-home Glycolic Peel for step-by-step instructions. After the skin has been prepared, I am ready for my TCA chemical peel.

Getting Ready
1. I made sure I was a good candidate for an at-home TCA chemical peel: no open acne or other lesions; skin color that is not prone to hyperpigmentation, able to wear sunscreen; completed allergy test on a sensitive area, such as under the chin, with no reaction; skin is prepared (see above) have not used any peeling agents (Retin-A or any acids) within 7-10 days, have not shaved the area to be peeled in two days and can wait an addition two days (if using an electric razor) or 7-10 days (if using a blade razor) to shave.
2. Gather all supplies and head to the bathroom or some place that has cool, running water available: hand towel, peel solution, rubbing alcohol, cotton balls, swabs, petroleum jelly, glass dish, timer, hand-held fan, neutralizer, moisturizer, sunscreen
3. Cleanse to remove oils and makeup; gently blot dry
4. Moisten cotton ball(s) with rubbing alcohol and gently wipe the area to be peeled; this will remove all traces of oils, which can cause uneven peeling
5. Apply a thin layer of the petroleum jelly around lips, nostrils, and eyes (don’t forget eyebrows); this will keep any running or dripping solution from accidentally getting into these areas
6. Pore a small amount of the peel into a small glass dish
7. Set the timer: start with 3 minutes – by the time I apply the peel to my entire face, it will have been on about 30 seconds since I started. I NEVER LEAVE THE PEEL ON LONGER THAN FIVE MINUTES.

Applying the Peel
1. Using the two swabs, I dip them into the dish and apply in this order: forehead, nose, above lip, cheeks, chin area. While I use my fingers to apply glycolic acid, I don’t want to do this with TCA chemical peel or I’ll peel the tips of my fingers.
2. I want to let the areas frost before neutralizing. Frosting is when the skin starts to turn white or looks a bit like a frosted glass. NOTE: if the three-minute timer rings before frosting has occurred, I have to decide if I want to wait. I know my reaction when it frosts versus not frosting. I keep in mind that the longer I leave on the solution, the longer it will take to peel. I NEVER LEAVE THE PEEL ON LONGER THAN FIVE MINUTES.
3. When the timer rings or when it frosts, I apply the neutralizer with cotton balls, then rinse with copious amounts of cool water for about 1-2 minutes and gently blot the face dry with a hand towel
4. Apply a gentle moisturizer, such as shea butter – which does NOT clog me.
5. Apply sunscreen if it is daytime.
6. Do not use any peeling agents for at least one week. If my skin tolerates the peel well, I can do another in 4-5 weeks.

Dermaplaning or Epidermal Leveling is a recent innovation in safe and effective exfoliation, suitable for men and women of all skin tones. This technique utilizes a specially designed surgical instrument to carefully remove the topmost layers of skin, resulting in a beautiful refinished look. Dermaplaning gives the skin a smoother appearance by removing dead skin cells in addition to the fine vellous facial hair (“peach fuzz”) that can trap excess dirt and oil and leave the complexion looking dull. It also stimulates and rejuvenates skin tissue, making it an effective way to reduce acne scarring, uneven pigmentation, and fine line wrinkles. Most people notice marked improvements in the texture and appearance of their skin immediately after their first treatment, which is why this procedure is excellent to have prior to a special event. Dermaplaning can be used alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as chemical peels and laser rejuvenation treatments. It is non-invasive and does not require the use of any chemicals and is thus suitable even for our pregnant and nursing clients. This treatment may be performed every 4 to 6 weeks.

In short, here is why Dermaplaning may be right for you:

1. It improves the texture of rough photo damaged skin, superficial hyperpig­mentation, hyper-keratinization, acne, mild acne scarring, and fine lines and wrinkles.
2. It is ideal for patients who are pregnant or nursing that want a deep exfoliation, but are not allowed to use chemicals and peeling agents on their skin.
3. It is a first choice for patients who have excess vellus hair on the skin, which causes a buildup of dirt and oils in the follicles and results in clogged pores and breakouts. (Although merely an old wives’ tale, many patients are often concerned that their facial hair will grow back heavier and darker after dermaplaning. This is not the case. As long as the hair is superficial vellus hair, it will grow back at the same rate and texture as before the treatment.)
4. It helps to prevent ingrown hairs and shaving rash in men.
5. It enhances the penetration of active products (such as retinols or vitamin-C) into the deeper layers of the dermis.
6. It is an ideal way to prepare the skin for procedures such as laser treatments, chemical peels and deep cleansing facials.

Do you want to have healthy skin? Sure you do… the real challenge is to have healthy and vibrant skin even when you start to age. Here are some basic tips to help you dramatically improve your chances to having true anti-aging results. Just a simple anti-aging routine can help you take action right now and get the skin you want.
1. Hydrate Your Skin- Drinking plenty of water on a daily basis is so important for your skin’s health. Moreover, drinking enough water is a very powerful tool in order to get the anti-aging results you strive for. The recommendation is 6-10 glasses of water every day, increasing that amount during summer time and hot weather.
2. Take a Deep Breath and Relax…- Having younger looking skin can be effected by your stress levels. Doctors often recommend to rest and reduce tension in order to affect the way your skin will age. Try taking long relaxing baths with enriched Bath Salts by Jericho, to enjoy a calming experience and help your skin fight the stress away.
3. Moisturize and Nourish Your Skin- when skin ages, it tends to become drier and less vibrant. Anti aging products help to maintain enough moisture in the skin, and nourish it with all the important minerals and oils it need to stay fresh. The Jericho Premium Series holds products that were developed especially for anti aging skincare, such as Night Creme, Day Creme, Eye and Neck Gel, Lifting Serum and more.
4. Stop Smoking! – Everybody knows smoking is bad for your health, but a less common known fact is that smoking can really harm your skin. If you are serious about your anti-aging treatment (and your health), you should seriously consider quitting cold turkey!
Smoking causes free radicals to build up and premature skin cell death, so in order to have successful anti-aging results put down that cigarette right now…
5. Protect Yourself from the Sun- Too much sun exposure is accredited to 80% of premature skin aging symptoms. Therefore, it’s very important to practice safe UV radiation exposure, and prevent your skin from burning.
6. Don’t Miss on Your Beauty Sleep- for some, “beauty sleep” is just a phrase, but actually, a good night sleep is very important for your skin’s health and for anti-aging. When we sleep, skin cell repair and regeneration takes place and slows the aging process. Our busy life can prevent us from getting enough sleep- never the less, try to aim for 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep a night, and you will see results on your skin over night.
7. Notice What You Eat- beauty comes from the inside, we all know that. So in order to get a beautiful healthy skin and improve anti-aging treatment, it is advised to take care of your diet, make healthier food choices, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and consume less fat and processed foods. Make sure you eat plenty of antioxidants, which work to repair and stop damage to our skin. Antioxidants can be found in super foods such as pomegranate, beans, and berries. Also, try to minimize the amount of alcohol and caffeine you consume.

If you listen to the ‘acne experts’ you’ll hear that the first thing you need to do in order to get rid of your acne is to get on a better diet and change your hygiene habits. Then they pitch their over-the-counter products, creams and lotions that supposedly bring immediate results for your acne. But the problem is that it is successful in “many cases”, but not all cases. Many people who try the products, therefore experience side effects or even get allergic reactions. So it’s better to try proven homemade acne treatments that work effectively and has a high success rate. They are cheaper and doesn’t require a doctors prescription.

One popular method to treat acne at home is using cotton dipped in alcohol and use this on your face. The alcohol will help cleanse the pores, and kills a majority of the bacteria causing the infection. You do not want to use excess alcohol because it can yield in light or heavy skin irritation.

If you are somebody who has oily skin, a good homemade acne treatment is to use oatmeal masks on your face. The way you use this mask is by applying an oatmeal and water mix for 15-20 minutes twice per day to get the best results. What happens is that the oatmeal will dry up, thus absorbing the oil from the skin. When you remove the mask, make sure to rinse your face with cold water.

You might want to try another homemade acne treatment that is extremely successful. It involves using honey and apples. This method uses grated apple, which is then mixed together with 4 teaspoons of honey. The mixture you get from this, will be the paste you apply to your face, and keep it there for around 10 minutes. When the face mask has been on the face for 10 minutes, remove it and rinse with warm water. Do this two or three times per week for the most successful results.

Another successful acne treatment for oily skin is strangely enough, tomatoes. Simply mash tomatos and apply it to your oily skin for 10 mintes and wash it with water. To get the best and most successful results, keep using the acne treatment once every day.

Warning! If you have pimples, DO NOT pick them with your finger nails or poke them. If you do this, it will worsen the conditions. If your homemade acne treatments are not working, go with the next one, but make sure you are not picking your pimples. If you do, your inflammations can get worse, and produce nasty scars.

Acne is a type of skin lesion infected by a bacterium called P.Acnes. The lesion is formed due to blockage of sebum follicle thereby trapping sebum. Acne affects almost everybody. It affects most during adolescence. However for many it continues into late adult hood. However, after 20s acne is reduced considerably for most. Acne that appears during adulthood is generally termed as adult acne. However this acne is not very much different from the acne in adolescence. It generally affects the chest and back. Treatment for adult acne is no different from the usual treatment for acne. The treatments available are:

Anti bacterial acne dermatology treatment: In this treatment antibacterials like benzoyl peroxide, triclosan and chlorhexidine gluconate are used to kill the bacteria. Benzoyl peroxide is considered the best over the counter acne product.

Skin defoliant acne dermatology treatment: In this treatment skin defoliants like salicylic acid and glycolic acid are used to open up the pores.

Antibiotic acne dermatology treatment: In this treatment antibiotics like clindamycin, erythromycin, and tetracycline are applied on the affected area or taken orally to kill the bacteria.

Retinoidal acne dermatology treatment: In this treatment retinoids like tretinoin, adapaline, retinol and isotretinoin are used to regulate the follicle life cycle.

Hormonal acne dermatology treatment: In this treatment hormones like cyproterone, drospirenone and cortisone are used to control the sebum production.

Acne light treatment: The latest acne treatment is phototherapy or acne light treatment in which the affected area is irradiated with light of a particular wavelength. The light kills the bacteria by producing free radicals in the bacteria. It has been found to be quite effective.

Self medication can be dangerous. Consult your doctor before using any medicine listed above. The acne medicines are given generally in combination with dietary supplements like Acuzine. They work by providing vital ingredients required by the skin to recover. Acuzine consists of ingredients like anti-oxidants, vitamins E & C, hydrolyzed collagen, ALA, DMAE, Aloe vera, Bioperine etc useful for rebuilding the skin.

A non-invasive treatment that exfoliates and resurfaces the skin with the added benefit of the gentle removal of fine hair.

Everyone in the world wants to look young. Unfortunately, we cannot stop the aging process. Once you cross your 3’s you will start to feel that there is no hope to be beautiful anymore. Or is it?

Actually, there are many ways in which you can feel younger and look more beautiful. You have to take care of yourself, both from the inside and the outside. Most men and women don’t realize that there are many simple anti ageing treatments that they can use in order to avoid or slow down aging .

There are 2 main causes of anti aging:

1. Natural : This type of aging is hereditary and depends on the genes & hence it is quite difficult to prevent.

2. Un-natural : This is caused by the extrinsic factors like exposure to sun, over drinking, bad eating habits etc.

1) You should maintain a diet that’s low in sugar and fat.

2) You need to consume lots of water, ie 5- 8 glasses of water daily.

3) You should exercise regularly. This will help you look younger.

People whose skin is always exposed to the sun are at more risk since the sun’s rays can cause wrinkles on the face. Thus, wrinkle creams have become one of the major anti aging treatment products today. Scores of anti ageing wrinkle creams have entered the anti-aging market. But it doesn’t mean that all these creams are good. The introduction of many “herbal and ayurvedic creams” has made it difficult for the women to decide on which product is right for them. So choose carefully.

2. Anti ageing treatment Genetic Treatment)

i) Vitamin C – It lowers the blood pressure . It fights cold and flu. It is also a very good anti aging treatment agent.

ii) Vitamin E – It is a good supplement of anti oxidants. It helps to maintain healthy cells and acts as a good skin and hair repair agent.

iii)Vitamin A – It is a very good anti oxidant that neutralizes the free radicals in the body which causes tissue and cellular damage. It also has retinol which helps to keep the skin and eyes moist.

Dermaplaning: $80
Dermaplaning with mask: $85

Dermaplaning is a two-step exfoliation technique that removes surface debris on the outermost layers of the skin with a special dermaplaning blade. This process is a minimally invasive, painless, and safe treatment for the face. The exfoliation allows for cell renewal and also allows for better penetration of home and professional skincare products, optimizing their results.

Dermaplaning is perfect to treat stubborn hyper-pigmentation spots by scraping the dead cells and allowing the treatment products to penetrate deeper for better results. It also improves elasticity by stimulating collagen production.

Patients immediately notice the fine lines and wrinkles drastically diminish and unwanted facial ‘fuzz’ temporarily removed from the face. The result is a truly rejuvenated and refreshed healthy skin.

Once the Vellous Hair is Removed, Will it Grow Back Thicker?

No, this is physiologically impossible. The soft, fine vellus hair will grow back slowly – usually in about 4 weeks. (There are two types of hair that grow back on our bodies: Vellus hair is the thin, fine, soft hair that typically covers the entire body. Terminal hair is the coarse hair that grows on the head, face, underarms, legs, and pubic areas.) Dermaplaning, waxing, tweezing, or any other depilatory form of hair removal can’t alter the type of hair grown in any given area.
What Areas Can be Treated?

Dermaplaning is performed on the face and under the chin. It shouldn’t be done on the eyelids, eyebrows or chest.

Dermaplaning can be performed every 3 to 4 weeks. Treating the skin in this manner actually removes about 2 to 3 weeks’ worth of dead skin cells. The technician should allow the skin to complete its normal cycle of approximately 21-30 days before repeating the treatment.

Dermaplaning is an excellent way to prepare the skin for a chemical peel. It’s also great when used before facials. All skin types can benefit from Dermaplaning.

Dermaplaning Restrictions:
No Dermaplaning is performed on active acne skin, acne-prone skin, patients with thick, dark hair, or patients going through hormonal changes. Patients may be taking certain medications that cause hair growth as a side effect.

A highly effective exfoliation procedure, dermaplaning involves the removal of the topmost layer of dead skin and vellus hair (or peach fuzz i.e. the tiny baby hairs) on a person’s face. The skin feels rejuvenated and smoother afterwards. A sterile surgical scalpel is used for the procedure similar to shaving. Once the skin is properly prepped it is scraped using a blade held at a 45 degree angle. At Changes Clinic our technicians are fully qualified for the procedure, making it totally safe for both men and women to be dermaplaned.

IS IT SUITED FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?

Dermaplane treatment is suited for most skin types including dry skin. However skin with acne (grade 3 and above) should not be dealt with. Breakouts should be clear before any treatment is done.

Moreover it is not advised to have the treatment on excessively oily skin. If the oil has no hairs to cling to the oil appearance will worsen. Pores can thus be blocked.

The treatment in the skincare clinic should not be carried out on the following people: cancer patients, people with blood conditions, people with uncontrolled diabetes, people using roaccutane, people with sunburn/windburn. For people with cold sores, the dermaplaning pro will use gloves.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE FACIAL?

Immediate dermaplaning benefits are:

smoother skin (texture is improved)

removal of vellus hair

skin allows deeper and more effective penetration of skincare products

For women makeup will have the tendency to glide on the skin instead of having a powdery effect

skin breathes better

acne scars are diminished

Dermaplaning is also used to help prepare skin for more intrusive procedures such as laser treatments and chemical peels.

An enzyme peel is carried out after dermaplaning to make sure that dead skin cells are removed from the pores.

HOW LONG DOES DERMAPLANING TAKE?

About 30 minutes

ARE THERE DERMAPLANING SIDE EFFECTS?

The skin becomes more sensitive to sun exposure straight afterwards. Therefore the use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher is recommended. There are no other side effects.

Was it the workouts? Or was it the products I was using? Was my new hair heat-styling lotion to blame? I had been testing various sample-sized serums and cremes–could it have been one of them?

I decided to pare things down to the absolute minimum. Instead of switching products around, I decided on the bare minimum to keep my skin moist, protected, treated, and clear. I decided for a month, I would only use one foundation, so I settled on a Beauty Balm for moisturizing, SPF, coverage, and treatment during the day. At night, I was going to use some kind of acid to keep my pores from getting clogged.

Results are in, and my skin has been perfectly happy for the past month.
This is what I’ve been using:

Pre-gym, or first thing in the morning

All I do before I head to the gym is cleanse with an Olay wet face wipe.

Post-gym

After my post-workout shower, I apply a silicone-based anti-aging serum as a primer. I’m not trying to do any heavy-duty moisturizing at this point. After I work out, I don’t really feel that I need to, what with my circulation being all full of youthful vim and vigor and all. The idea is to get my skin ready for foundation–and if the silicone-based primer also contains wrinkle-fighting ingredients, so much the better.

I’m currently using Boots No 7 Restore and Renew serum, but Boots has apparently discontinued it. I’m sure Olay’s Regenerist Regenerating Serum or Boots’s Protect & Perfect Intense serum would work as substitutes.

I let the serum sink in for a minute, then apply Dr. Jart’s Beauty Balm. Beauty Balm replaces moisturizer, sun screen, and foundation. For it to work, though, you can’t apply it too lightly. I use a blob about the size of an almond.

Evening

If bare-faced (and this happens more frequently than you’d believe, considering how much makeup I own) I cleanse with Cetaphil alone.

If wearing a full face of spackle, I double cleanse. First I remove my makeup with DHC Mild Touch Cleansing Oil

Then I wash with some kind of sudsing cleanser–Clearasil, Chanel, or Cetaphil–and Clarisonic Mia.

Then I apply Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Overnight Peel.

This is a glycolic acid peel which claims to

• Fade dark spots
• Even skin tone
• Brighten skin
• Smooth texture

I can’t say that I’ve noticed any fading of my dark spots. On the other hand, my skin isn’t clogged or breaking out from the Dr. Jart’s Beauty Balm. I believe I have my cleansing routine and the glycolic acid in the overnight peel to thank.

Dermaplaning is a simple and safe procedure for exfoliating the epidermis and ridding the skin of fine vellus hair (peach fuzz).

Dermaplaning can be performed on small, precise areas of the skin or can be applied to larger regions, including the entire face. Dermaplaning can also be performed in addition to other skin treatments, such as chemical peels or cortisone injections. This treatment also encourages the growth of new, healthy skin cells and can have a positive impact on the skin cell lifecycle. Dermaplaning is a highly effective way to resurface the skin and is a highly effective method for leveling out uneven surfaces on the face. Dermaplaning is gentle and does not break the capillaries on the face, which more agressive exfoliators may do. This prevents skin discoloration or scarring. Since dermaplaning does not involve the application of chemicals it is a great alternative for individuals who have sensitive skin and cannot undergo chemical peels or other chemically based treatments. Dermaplaning is a non-surgical procedure and requires no recovery time.

Dermaplaning is most often used on patients with rough, dry skin, superficial hyperpig­mentation, mild acne scarring, or fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment results in a more refined, smooth, “glowing” appearance.

While some women will book a dermaplane session before a gala event or special occasion, more and more are adding it into their routine. Dermaplaning has become very popular at our practice, where many patients are adding it to their facials and other services that they do on a monthly basis.

Dermaplaning is a medical skin treatment and is an excellent way to exfoliate the skin and to regenerate new skin cells. During the treatment, Jackie first preps the skin, taking all the oil off of the top layer of skin (epidermis), and a medical-grade scalpel is used to remove off all of the dead skin cells.

Next Jackie uses a microdermabrasion cream to polish the skin, refining the texture. Finally, the finishing solution cleans the pores and further exfoliates the skin without redness or irritation. There isn’t any down time and makeup can be applied right away following the treatment.

The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes. By your mid-thirties, your skin doesn’t slough off dead skin cells as rapidly as it did in your twenties, and it gets more sluggish with age. You may notice that your skin does not have that glow, or appears sallow, while the surface may feel rough to the touch. This procedure helps speed the skins cell turnover rate, leaving the skin glowing, radiant, soft and more youthful.

Dermaplaning doesn’t break capillaries either, as do other types of exfoliations and is much milder than standard chemical peels. Jackie has full control of the scalpel, and it is more visible to see where the skin needs to be exfoliated since there aren’t crystals all over one’s face which can be distracting.

Dermaplaning is one of the most effective facial exfoliating treatments available to patients. It is a process that has been used in conjunction with medical skin care for nearly the past two decades. Dermaplaning helps reveal radiant, healthier skin. Once the procedure is completed, you will leave with your skin glowing, without any redness or irritation. Of all facial treatments, none of them leave the facial skin feeling as clear or as soft as Dermaplaning! Best of all, Dermaplaning is less costly than many other facial procedures.

Dermaplaning is a quick, noninvasive, painless procedure in which surface dead skin cells are manually scraped away. Dermaplaning requires absolutely no recovery time. It increases cellular turnover, smoothes and softens skin, and provides immediate results. This procedure is the most effective exfoliating procedure because it basically tricks the body into thinking it has an injury and needs to heal itself, immediately producing healthier, plump skin cells. Dermaplaning can be used on all skin colors. As an extra esthetic bonus, dermaplaning removes the fine vellus hair on the face. This is important because this excess “peach fuzz” can trap oil and dirt which can lead to other problems with your skin. It also cause facial cleansers to be less effective. Once you scrap away the dirt, oil and dead skin cells, facial products and treatments are more effective because they can penetrate the skin more easily.

How is dermaplaning performed?

After cleansing, toning and degreasing the face, your skin care specialist will gently scrape away the surface layer of dirt, oil and dead skin cells with a sterile surgical scalpel. Each area of the face, is carefully scraped until properly “cleaned”. After the procedure, special clinical products designed especially for your skin type and concerns, as well as UV protection, will be applied with a gentle facial massage. You will not leave with red or irritated skin, and you are free to reapply makeup at any time.

Will my hair grow back dark, thicker or faster?

No, dermaplaning will not cause the vellus hair on your face to grow back any darker, thicker or faster because the procedure does not trigger hair follicles. The hair will return just as it is, usually in about two to four weeks. Who is the best candidate for dermaplaning? Anyone that desires smoother, softer, healthier, and more radiant skin. Patients with active acne are not candidates.

Dermaplaning is an effective form of exfoliation. The technique involves using a blade to delicately shave, or remove, the dead skin cells from the epidermis without the use of harmful chemicals. Along with exfoliating, dermaplaning also helps remove the unwanted fine baby hairs from the face which is the biggest offender for dirt and oil buildup.

Right away, we know what you are thinking – hair grows back thicker after shaving. Rest assured, it is a myth and your hair will grow back just as it was prior to your initial treatment.

For best results, dermaplaning is recommended in a series of 3-6 sessions with follow up maintenance, but results can be seen after just one treatment.

Chemical peels have been around since Egyptian times and have always been one of the most recommended treatments for anti-aging and skincare treatments by medical spas, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons. However, even though chemical peels are a widely know named in aesthetics there are still a lot of myths, and assumptions about chemical peels that aren’t always facts. After running a medical spa-Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center in Orlnado for 9 years chemical peels are still a go to treatment that give effective results and are still the best treatment for exfoliation.
Here are some frequently asked Questions on Chemical Peels:
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a combination of acids used to remove layers of dead and damage skin to reveal new, softer, fresh looking skin.
Do all chemical peels create severe downtime and peeling?
No, there are varying degrees of chemical peels including mild, medium, and strong peels. This depends on the acid or combination of acids used, the strengths (percentages of each acid) and the length of time the peel is left on the skin. Light peels are good for beginning peels and typically have no peeling involved. The medium peels usually involve light flaking for 2-3 days. Only strong peels such as TCA (trichloracetic acid) require 3-7 days of peeling.
At what age can one have a chemical peel?
Chemical peels can be performed at any age and are especially useful for teens with acne.
Do Chemical Peels thin your skin?
No, chemical peels stimulate collagen and elastyn so they actually plump the skin reducing wrinkles. They only remove layers of dead skin that need to be exfoliated.

One of the acne solution is by knowing how bad is the situation and use the right way to deal with the acne.

There are at least four types of acne that are recognized by many dermatologists and others in the medical field as severe regarding both the type of lesions that it produces on the body and long term effects it can have for the sufferer including scarring. This extreme acne affects more than just the body; it can affect every aspect of a person’s life. The pain and heartache of dealing with these potentially disfiguring forms of acne cannot be overemphasized but this does not take into account the emotional and psychological aspects that can lower quality of life and permanently destroy self-esteem.

Acne conglobata

Acne Conglobata is the most severe form of acne vulgaris. This form of extreme acne, generally characterized by the appearance of large and numerous nodules, often interconnected, along with widespread blackheads. Because theses lesions can become ulcerated, they can cause severe, irrevocable damage–even disfiguring scarring–to the skin. Acne conglobata is commonly found on the face, chest, back, buttocks, upper arms, and thighs.

The age of onset for acne conglobata is usually between 18 and 30 years of age and it is more likely for males to get the condition than it is for females. It should also be noted that acne conglobata can stay active for many years, lying dormant until something causes it to resurface. As is true with all types of acne, the cause of acne conglobata is not known.

Acne fulminans

This type of severe acne is actually an abrupt onset of acne conglobata that typically afflicts young men. The symptoms of the severe nodulocystic, often ulcerating acne, are readily apparent. As with normal cases of acne conglobata the lesions cover large portions of the extremities and the facial region, including the disfiguring scars that can eventually develop. Yet what makes acne fulminans unique in that it also includes fever symptoms, aching of the joints, particularly the knees and hips, and varying degrees of weight loss that depend upon the individual.

Gram-negative folliculitis

Gram-negative folliculitis is a form of extreme acne caused by an inflammation of the follicles that is caused by bacterial infection: This condition is characterized by pustules and cysts. It has been determined in some cases of the disorder that its development is caused by a complication resulting from a long-term antibiotic treatment of acne vulgaris.

The reason that this form of acne is called “gram-negative” relates to the fact that gram is a type of blue stain used for laboratory testing for microscopic organism. Bacteria that do not stain blue are referred to as “gram-negative.”

Like other forms of extreme or severe acne, gram-negative folliculitis is a rare condition, and we do not know whether it is more common in males or females as it has been documented in both.

Pyoderma Faciale

This type of severe acne affects only females, usually between the ages of 20 to 40 years of age. It is characterized by large painful nodules, pustules and sores that may leave scarring. Forming abruptly, pyoderma faciale may occur on the skin of a woman who has never had acne before. Generally, this type of extreme acne is confined to the face, and though it usually does not last longer than a year, it can cause a great deal of damage in a very short time.

Chemical peels offer men and women a way to obtain healthy looking skin within one simple treatment. Chemical peeling procedures are often administered at a doctor’s office and completed within about one hour’s time. Before you head off to get a peel done, here are some pros and cons which you should be aware of before doing so.

Pros of Chemical Peel Procedures

Chemical peels are popular as there are many beneficial aspects to having such procedures performed. First, these types of facial treatments do a wonderful job at clearing off the “bad” skin and providing the individual with new and refreshed skin. Another pro to having a peel done is that this type of facial treatment is completed quite quickly. Most chemical peel procedures do not take longer than one hour to complete and this allows the individual to get in, get out and get the work done quickly and efficiently. Lastly, face peel procedures are usually performed in a doctor’s office which provides one with peace of mind knowing that a doctor is administering the facial treatment.

Cons of Chemical Peel Procedures

There are some cited disadvantages to having peels. Some may avoid the chemical peel process as they are not too eager to go to a doctor’s office to have a rejuvenation treatment performed. Others have stated that certain peel procedures and ingredients have been harsh on their skin in the past and they would have preferred different options instead of getting a chemical peel. Lastly, face peel procedures, while less expensive than plastic surgery procedures, are a bit expensive to some who consider having them performed.

Is a Chemical Peel Right For You?

Now that you are aware of the pros and cons to face peel procedures, you will be able to decide if a chemical peel is right for you. If you are eager to get a rejuvenating facial treatment, don’t mind visiting your doctor to have it done and can afford a treatment such as this, then a facial peel may be the perfect option. However, if you have extra sensitive skin and are looking for facial treatment options more in keeping with your budget, then pursuing another type of facial treatment may be a wise choice.

Global minimally invasive anti-aging treatment market is witnessing significant changes due to rising uptake of combination treatments across the globe. Rising number of dermatology clinics across the globe are increasing access to products and services.

Non-invasive procedures cover a number of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as chiropractic manipulation, physical therapy, and heat therapy. Minimally invasive treatments refer to a range of procedures that involve tiny injections and exclude any surgical invasion into the human body.

The most common treatments are injections with botulinum toxin (Botox), dermal fillers, lipofilling, and microdermabrasion (non-chemical). Lasers, chemical peels and facials, and cosmeceuticals (a combination of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals) are also considered as minimally invasive treatments. Botox remains mainstay for minimally invasive or non-invasive anti-ageing treatment or procedure in various geographies.

Recent researches have come with the future of anti-aging. Stem cells are the answer. A team of researchers have found that stem cells collected directly from human fat, called adipose-derived stem cells (ASC), can make more proteins than originally thought. This gives them the ability to replicate and maintain their stability, a finding that held true in cells collected from patients of all ages.

Stem cells are currently used in a variety of anti-aging treatments and are commonly collected from a variety of tissues. But the team specifically found ASCs to be more stable than other cells, a finding that can potentially open the door to new therapies for the prevention and treatment of aging-related diseases.

Acne is a problem that is very much connected to our diet and nutrition. Many dermatologists have suggested the avoidance of certain foods for proper acne treatment. Foods that cause acne include saturated fats, sugar, certain dairy products and caffeine based beverages.

Actually, the fact is that these foods activate the oil glands of the skin to produce extra oil. This extra oil causes clogging of pores resulting in acne. Since decades, this fact has been recognized by people that caffeine results in acne. Coffee, tea and other nervous system arousing caffeine based beverages stimulate certain hormones, which cause acne.

When the balance of hormones, particularly estrogen gets disturbed, they cause oil glands to be activated and produce extra oil. Even stress and anxiety result in acne breakouts. The stimulants like caffeine take about one or two days to produce acne on skin.

Soda drinks are famous all around the world. A very large population is addicted to caffeinated soda drinks. In the caffeinated soda drinks, caffeine is not the only harmful ingredient but other ingredients are also bad for skin.

When it comes to the harmful effects of caffeine, we usually get tea and coffee in our minds but it should be realized that soda and other soft drinks that contain caffeine are even more trouble making. People who have acne problem must avoid beverages that contain caffeine. Their acne treatment medications would go useless if the diet is not controlled. Such foods should be taken which do not have affects on hormones. Fruits, vegetables and plenty of water should be taken. Much of the acne treatment is done from inside our body rather than outside.

A very common ingredient of soda beverages is phosphoric acid. The fact about this ingredient is that it contains a very little amount of calories but inside the body, it is broken into sugars. Sugar is another disaster to our skin. People who have acne problems should avoid sugar intake. It is very difficult to eliminate sugar-based desserts like chocolate, cakes and candies. The sugar intake can be minimized, for example if you are addicted to have milk with two tea spoons sugar, make it one and half, then one, then only half a tea spoon and then stop the use of sugar slowly, because people often give up when they make an immediate start. If you cannot live without deserts after your meals, then take some fruit, probably an apple instead of cakes and chocolates.

The soda contains both sugar and caffeine. It has huge amounts of artificial flavors and chemicals. Such artificial flavors and chemicals act as body and cell toxins that directly affect the health of our skin and interfere in acne treatment. Try to avoid packed juices made in factories and make juice at your home with fresh fruits.

Therefore, if you want a healthy skin with an acne treatment then cut-off with carbonated and caffeinated drinks with loads of sugar and stick to healthy drinks particularly water. As it has been previously mentioned that 8 to 12 glasses of water are required per day, so if you fulfill this requirement then you won’t need any other drinks that affect your health.

To help you decide whether this treatment is right for you, you should read the following facts.

The results you see after getting a chemical peel depend largely on the skill of the person performing the peel. To protect your health and get the results you seek, you should see a dermatologist or dermatologic surgeon. These doctors have in-depth knowledge of the skin.

What happens during a chemical peel?

Before getting a chemical peel, some patients need to follow a pre-peel skin care plan for 2 to 4 weeks. This plan can improve results and reduce potential side effects. Your dermatologist will tell you whether this is necessary.

On the day of your peel, you will first be prepped for the treatment. This includes cleansing your skin thoroughly. If you will have a deep peel, you will receive general anesthesia, which will put you to sleep. A deep peel must be performed in a surgical setting.

After you are prepped, your dermatologist will apply the peel quickly and evenly. Your dermatologist will watch your skin carefully to remove the peel at just the right time. With a deep peel, the skin is treated one small section at a time. This limits the effects on the heart and lungs.

After the peel comes off, your skin will be treated as needed. Patients who get a medium peel may need cool compresses followed by a lotion or cream to soothe their skin. If you have a deep peel, you will have a wound that requires a surgical dressing.

What must I do after getting a chemical peel?

All peels that a dermatologist performs require some at-home care. The following table shows you what you can expect.

What to expect after a chemical peel

To help their patients get the best results, dermatologists also share these tips:

Use the moisturizer as directed to keep your skin moist and supple. If your skin dries and cracks, it can scar.
If your skin burns, itches, or swells, contact your dermatologist. Rubbing or scratching skin treated with a chemical peel can cause an infection.
Do not use a tanning bed or other type of indoor tanning. Your skin will not heal properly.
After your skin heals, apply sunscreen every day. This will help you maintain results.

After a medium or deep peel, you will have downtime. A deep chemical peel requires recuperation at home for 2 to 3 weeks.

When will I see the results?

Once your skin heals, you will see the results. Healing time ranges from 1 day for a refreshing or lunchtime peel to 14 days or longer for a deep peel. To get the results you seek from a refreshing peel or lunchtime peel, you may need to have 3 to 5 peels.

Most results are not permanent because our skin continues to age. If you have lots of sun-damaged skin or precancerous skin growths called AKs, you will likely continue to see new spots and growths on your skin.

In the hands of a doctor who has experience with chemical peels, side effects tend to be mild. Some patients develop:

– Persistent redness that may last for months.
– Temporary darkening of the skin.
– Lighter skin color (medium and deep peels).
– Scarring (very rare when peel performed by a dermatologist).

If serious side effects occur, it is often because the patient did not follow the dermatologist’s instructions. Your risk for developing an infection or scarring increase dramatically if you:

– Fail to protect your skin from the sun.
– Fail to care for your wound as instructed.
– Scratch the treated skin or pick off a scab.
– Apply makeup before your skin heals.
– Don’t heed your dermatologist’s advice and use a tanning bed or other type of indoor tanning.

When is it safe to have another chemical peel?

To maintain results, you can repeat mild and medium chemical peels. Your dermatologist can tell you how often you can have a repeat treatment. A person can have only one deep peel.

What is the safety record for chemical peels?

Dermatologists have been performing chemical peels for more than 50 years, with an excellent safety record.

Even people who have skin of color can safely have a chemical peel — but they should see a dermatologist who has expertise using chemical peels to treat darker skin tones. Without this knowledge, people who have skin of color (i.e., African American, Asian, Latino) can develop permanent pigment problems.

Recent studies have estimated that over 20 million of teens and adults are affected by acne.

However, there are cases where people do not react well to many of today’s medications and skin treatment products. Although acne treatment products and solutions continue to advance, the emotional problems still remain as the major problem caused by acne.

One effective solution that can provide promising and immediate results to all of your acne problems could be laser acne treatment. It can treat even the worst cases of pubescent and old acne problems.

The FDA approved the use and efficiency of the smooth beam laser in 2002. Since its introduction to the market, it is widely recognized as the most effective treatment for severe and recurrent cases of acne.

A topical anesthetic cream is first applied to patient that will undergo laser acne treatment. Since acne prone portions of the skin are very sensitive, the first precautionary steps lessen most of the discomfort that you will feel during and right after the treatment procedure.

Then it is followed by applying a smooth low level laser acne beam on the portions of the face where severe acnes are found. It actually heats the sebaceous glands or the oil producing glands that clog the pores which causes acne breakouts.

The heat effectively slows the glands form secreting excessive oil and eventually eliminating most of the cause of acne.

The laser also kills the bacteria and other components that cause acne. During the first sessions of the treatment, you will see improvements and good results already.

However, the treatment should be performed 3 to 4 sessions monthly to complete the treatment. You may experience a 95 percent reduction of the discolorations and pimples to your face.

You could experience mild side effects during the treatment process. The most painful could be the swelling of the treated portions. Since the treatment procedure is smooth and fast, some patients may schedule for laser treatment procedures during their lunch break hours.

There is no recovery time period and you will experience minimal discomfort. Irritation and redness to the skin are the common side effects you will encounter.

What could be the downside on laser acne treatments? Most insurance programs do not yet cover policies to laser skin treatments. However, if you are really affected by severe acne problems and the suffering you get from the emotional distress caused by acne, you know that the expensive cost for the treatment is worth it.

Laser acne treatments include laser skin resurfacing and pulse dye laser. In skin laser resurfacing, it uses a combination of laser carbon dioxide and Erbium YAG laser wherein the skin is treated by layers. The uppermost portions of the scars are removed and the skin pores are tighten rejuvenating the skin completely.

The surgical treatment may last 2 to 3 months before undergoing laser resurfacing treatment. This will give time for the skin to heal completely and bring a clearer and flawless face.

Do you shave your legs? Of course. Do you shave your armpits? Absolutely.

Do you shave your face? What? Most women would never dream of bringing a razor anywhere near their face (we’ve all heard it can make hair grow back thicker or coarser). And those that do shave don’t spill the beans—in a YouBeauty reader poll, of the 24 percent who said they shave regularly, most (22 percent) do it secretly. Shaving is for guys, after all.

But some of the country’s most exclusive aestheticians are slashing this gender taboo, calling shaving the secret to softer, smoother, perfectly exfoliated skin—with no risk of a 5 o’clock shadow.

“It’s a fact that men are mechanically exfoliating their faces each time that they shave, which is why they sometimes appear to age more slowly than women do,” says Mary Schook, NC and CA licensed aesthetician. Don’t reach for your guy’s Mach-3 just yet, though. The kind of shaving we’re talking about is an ultra-precise method known as “dermaplaning,” and it’s done in a doctor or aesthetician’s office with a surgical (read: super sharp) blade.

“It’s another way of exfoliating dead skin cells,” adds Mary Schook. “And it’s super gentle when done correctly. It doesn’t cause inflammation or disrupt the delicate pH balance of the skin the way that microdermabrasion and peels can. No one leaves my office with a red face afterward.”

During a dermaplaning session, an aesthetician pulls skin taut and gently strokes the surgical blade over your face. (As you might have guessed, staying perfectly still is essential or you risk ending up with one heck of a shaving nick.) The blade removes the layer of dead skin that’s responsible for dullness and also helps prep skin for treatment products. “The stratum corneum is removed and this allows for excellent penetration of active ingredients,” says New Orleans dermatologist Mary Lupo, M.D.

The blade also gets rid of tiny “vellous” hairs—aka the layer of fine “peach fuzz” that most of us tend of have. “When you get rid of that hair, the face looks super clean,” says Schook. Some clients also say it helps their makeup go on smoother, since foundation or powder can’t cling to the little hairs. Sounds good, but we’re sure you’re asking the same question we were… won’t the little hairs come back thicker or coarser? Dermatologists say no. “What you do to the surface of the hair doesn’t thicken or coarsen it—including true shaving,” says Dr. Lupo.

MORE: Facial Fuzz Busters

And as Schook points out, the blade used for dermaplaning is different than a regular old drugstore shaver. “A shaver is built to shave the thick hair on our bodies, and it cuts hair in a crudely blunt way. Dermaplaning is like that scene in The Bodyguard, when Kevin Costner uses a samurai sword to cut the silk. It’s precise and effortless.”Interested in trying it? Make sure to go to a licensed aesthetician with experience in dermaplaning, or see your dermatologist to find out if it’s right for you. “It’s a safe procedure when performed by an experienced practitioner, but it’s inappropriate if you have certain medical skin conditions such as eczema, cold sores or psoriasis,” notes Dr. Kauvar.

And if you want to go the DIY route, use a brow razor with a safety guard—not a regular shaver. “A shaver will make hair feel stiff, rough or blunt,” says Schook. One more word of caution?

Living acne free is a dream for some people. For the majority of people acne is a phase they go through during adolescence. For others, though, acne is something that continues to plague them through adulthood. Living acne free is about adopting a lifestyle that will allow you to create good conditions for your skin and prevent the further development of acne.

The Dirt and Grime Acne

Dirt and oil are the two biggest culprits that lead to acne. Freeing your skin from dirt and oil is essential in your fight to be acne free. Acne is caused by clogged pores. It can be visible on the skin’s surface as white heads, black heads or cysts. In order to be completely acne free a person has to make sure their skin is as free from dirt and oil as possible.

This can be difficult because you skin actually produces oil to help keep it healthy. However, it is excess oil that is the problem and must be handled. Dirt is easier to keep from the skin since that is an external problem, not internal like oil.

With these things in mind your road to acne free skin can be easier.

Baby Steps

The first thing you have to start doing is a skin care routine. You have to develop a good skin care routine that use daily. It should include cleansing, ex foliating, toning and moisturizing.

In addition to these steps you also need to have spot treatment plans. You may need to do spot treatment for dry skin, oily skin and when you have a breakout.

Dry skin needs to be moisturized with a non-oil based moisturizer. Dry skin encourages the skin to produce more oil and therefore can easily lead to acne.

Oily skin occurs when excess oil is produced and is the breeding ground for acne. Using the correct products in your daily skin care routine can really help to cut down on excess oil production.

Acne can be treatment with topical creams. Be sure to follow the directions on the package closely. Many of these OTC treatments contain ingredients that dry out the skin and can cause more trouble than good should you experience drying.

Additional Advice

Besides your regular routine and treatment methods, there are other things you can do to help keep your skin acne free. One of the biggest things is to not touch your face. You should avoid touching your face, especially with dirty hands. This causes you to transfer dirt and debris form your hands to your face which can clog pores and cause acne.

You should also choose make up that is not going to clog pores or introduce extra oil to your skin. Also make sure to not use things that irritate your skin, like shampoos and perfumes.

Getting acne free skin is a process. If you are plagued by acne it can be a long process, but it is something you can do. If you have severe acne you may even think about consulting a dermatologist to help you with prescription treatments.

PROGRESSIVE
This refers to a treatment that does not usually cause immediate exfoliation and only removes the outer layer of skin or the stratum corneum. As treatments are repeated, the skin will experience a mild sloughing.

MID-DEPTH
These peels affect the intra-epidermal layer, and exfoliation occurs within two to three days after application. The skin goes through very little down time. Peeling consists of light flaking similar to a sunburn peel.

DEEP
These peels affect the deepest intra-epidermal layers. The skin becomes brown and crusty then undergoes considerable peeling, which occurs three to four days after application. The skin peels in large segments as opposed to flaking. The entire process takes about seven to ten days.

What type of home care should I use after my chemical peel?
There are specific instructions to be followed after your skin peel – this is as important as the peel itself. Post care will include occlusive healing balms, epidermal growth factor (cell renewal and wound repair), calming, soothing topicals to reduce itching and inflammation, and always sun screen!

When the skin peel is completed and your professional has determined the skin is healed, daily skin care is essential. The most important part of a home care routine is a cleanser and a sunblock. Next in importance is a supportive cell rejuvenator. These are the basics. Additional specialty products, such as pumice and buffing washes, antioxidants, eye serums, nighttime moisturizers, AHAs, ascorbic acid, retinol, enzymes, masks, and topical correctives may be added to enhance and maintain results.

Dermaplaning is a simple, quick, and safe procedure for exfoliating the epidermis and ridding the skin of fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) by shaving the skin with a sterile blade; it has few to no adverse effects. Using a scalpel and a delicate touch, the provider simply abrades the surface of the skin using light feathering strokes. It is most often used on patients with rough, dry skin, and /or superficial hyperpigmentation to enhance over all skin tone. It is a safe treatment for patients who are pregnant or nursing who want a deep exfoliation. This treatment may be recommended to prepare the skin for chemical peels as it allows products to penetrate more readily into the deeper layers. Results may not be seen in a single treatment. Follow-up with maintenance treatments may be recommended. Please do not wear makeup on the day of treatment.

Common Side Effects:
Dermablading can create scraping, nicking, and/or abrading of the skin. Patients who have oily skin, inflamed acne, or are allergic to nickel are not ideal candidates for the treatment. Some patients may experience redness, irritation, dryness, post treatment acne flares, or folliculitis. Blemishes and/or cold sores may result after this treatment.

Treatment Frequency:
Dermaplaning can be done as often as every two weeks, although it is usually done when vellus hair starts to grow back, which is generally in one month’s time. Many patients are often concerned that the hair will grow back heavier and darker after dermaplaning; this is not the case. Hair will grow back at the same rate and texture as before the treatment within 4 – 6 weeks.

Recovery:
It is normal for skin to appear red and inflamed. Light scabs may form in the treated area and remain for 24 to 48 hours.Topical products should not be used for 72 hours following the treatment and do not use heavy makeup on the first day. Avoid excessive sun exposure and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher daily. Cleanse skin with a mild cleanser and use a gentle moisturizer as needed.

Unlike any other anti-aging programme in the world, at SHA we use the knowledge acquired from the best natural therapy that includes the most perfect kind of nutrition known, which mainly comes from Eastern cultures; and all the diagnosis or preventive treatment devices, which are supported increasingly more by western scientific progress with the latest discoveries made in the fields of genetics and anti-aging medicine.

Stages: There has to be a gap of at least three months between the two stages of treatment to obtain the results of certain tests, which due to their characteristics take a long time to process.

Stage 1: Diagnosis and the beginning of the treatment (7 days)

This stage consists in a series of very thorough examinations that evaluate the different biomarkers that enable us to determine the patient’s biological age and their degree of aging. Physical, psychological and laboratory tests (biochemical, hormones, immunological, genetic and microbiological) are carried out to obtain important information about how the body’s different organs and systems are working. The risk of heart disease, the respiratory, gastrointestinal systems, the kidneys, liver and the neuropsychological systems are all assessed and eating habits, osteoarticular changes and the physical fitness of the person in question are all checked. Treatment is started immediately and an adjustment is made to the patient’s life style.

Stage 2: Personalised integral anti aging treatment and follow-up (7 days)

In the second stage as all the information needed has been obtained, including an advanced genetic map of our guest, a set of personalised western and eastern techniques are now applied to combat premature aging. Wherever appropriate, food supplements, antioxidants, biocompatible hormones, vitamins and trace elements are added to enhance the treatment.

Acne, Acne vulgaris or cystic acne is a common skin disease that develops as a result of blockages in follicles and which characteristics usually include scaly red skin, blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and sometimes even scarring. Acne most commonly affects the areas of the skin which are dense like the face, upper chest and back and may vary in severity from inflammatory which is severe to noninflammatory which is mild.

Acne usually occurs during the adolescent years and is usually caused by the increase of testosterone which affects both males and females. Although it commonly accrues during puberty it may also continue on to adulthood. For the most part, this skin disease diminishes over time and decreases or can disappear by the age of 25. Unfortunately, there is really no way to tell how long it can take to disappear and for some people acne can continue on into their thirties and forties.

Cystic acne is the most severe inflammatory acne and tends to affect where there is deeper skin tissue like the armpit area, buttocks and groin or anywhere where sweat collects in hair follicles or perspiration ducts. Scarring occurs when the wound, the inflamed area within the dermis tries to heal itself resulting in too much collagen in one area. There are four types of acne scars:

-Rolling Scars – the skin has a wave-like appearance
-Box Car Scars – deep or superficial scars that occur on the temple and cheeks
-Ice Pick Scars – these are deep pits which are the most common acne scarring
-Hypertrophic Scars – thickened scar caused by excessive growth of fibrous tissue

There are many different types of treatment for acne. The most popular include:

1. Antiseptics
2. Antibiotics – for the more severe cases
3. Hormones – hormonal treatment for women
4. Benzoyl peroxide – for the mild cases
5. Anti-inflammatories – vitamin B3

Some alternative medicine treatments that also deserve mentioning are:
– Melaleuca oil or Tea tree oil
– Aloe vera and Egg oil
– Black currant seed oil
– Echinacea

The treatment for acne and the natural remedies for acne have become a recent controversy. Some doctors now believe that acne problems are not food related. However, those on the holistic side still believe that by adopting a healthy lifestyle such as a healthy diet, cleansing and the right hormonal balance still is and will be the answer to clear acne.
