These treatments are quick, and may not even touch the surface. Small skin tags and cherry angioma (bright red “blood” spots) disappear immediately and

hyper-pigmented areas such as liver or “age spots take only a few seconds. There is minimal discomfort for the client and healing time is short, from a day or two for skin tags to a few weeks for larger skin abnormalities such as fibromas and hyperpigmented spots.

The removal of minor skin imperfections with our high frequency device is more cost effective than visiting the dermatologist for treatment.

Below are some Before and After pictures of treatments done using our device:

We found the perfect illustration of what this damage is and how it affects skin aging through a biochemist in California. We hope to clarify the importance of skin care to repair damage already incurred as well as prevent future damage.

WHAT IS OXIDATIVE STRESS?
Oxidative stress is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), more commonly known as free radicals, and our skin’s natural ability to readily detoxify these reactive intermediates or easily repair the resulting damage. Skin is a major target of oxidative stress due to exposure from environmental stressors such as solar ultraviolet radiation (UVA & UVB), pollution, smoke, microorganisms and external stress.

Effects of Oxidative Stress on Skin Cells

WHAT IS PHOTOAGING?
Oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in photoaging. Sun exposure and other sources of UV radiation contribute significantly to photoaging which is characterized by the early appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, irregular pigmentation, loss of elasticity and skin dehydration.

HOW DO ANTIOXIDANTS PROTECT THE SKIN FROM PHOTOAGING?
Topical antioxidants counteract the effects of oxidative stress and have clinical anti-photoaging properties. A comprehensive and integrated topical antioxidant is considered to be crucial in protecting the skin from oxidative stress and consequently preventing the photoaging process.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF OXIDATIVE STRESS ON THE SKIN?

Increased or prolonged free radical action contributes to adverse effects on the skin, including inflammation, redness, wrinkling, hypersensitivity, hyperpigmentation, photoaging and other skin conditions.

Prevent Damage with PREVOX

Repair Damage with Retrisome

Dermaplaning is an effective method of exfoliation. Using a disposable blade we shave, or remove, the dead skin cells from the epidermis. Along with exfoliating, dermaplaning also helps remove the unwanted vellus hairs from the face. Usually, you can see a difference after the first treatment. While this is an aggressive treatment, dermaplaning does not break the capillaries on the face and, when done correctly, is very safe with no downtime.

Dermaplaning is perfect for anyone who has uneven skin texture and tone and is looking for a safe, painless way to smooth their skin and have baby soft skin.

Benefits of Dermaplaning include:

1.) helps to refinish top layers

2.) removes “peach fuzz” which can trap excess dirt and oil

3.) smoothes the skins surface

4.) enhances the effectiveness of other treatments

5.) helps with product penetration

Commonly Asked Questions about Dermaplaning:

If you are ‘dermaplaning” the skin on the face, won’t the hairs on the face grow back thicker?
No.  It is physiologically impossible for your vellus hairs to grow back thicker.  True, once the hair is cut, it has a blunt edge.  But this blunt edge does not mean that the hair structure itself has been physiologically altered.

There are two types of hair that grow on our bodies.  Vellus (tiny translucent blonde hair) and Terminal (thicker hair that grows under the arms, pubic area, eye brows, mustache and beard for men and legs)

Vellus hair when cut or removed will grow back the same.  The structure of the hair does not become damaged, therefore it is impossible to alter.  Terminal hair is physiologically coarse.  When Termianl hair is cut, it grows back the same way…coarse.

How often is this procedure performed?
Blading can be performed every 3 – 4 weeks.  Blading the skin actually removes about 2-3 weeks worth of dead skin cells.  We want the skin to complete it’s normal skin cycle of approximately 30 days.  I would not recommend treating the skin more often than that.

Can blading or derma planing be performed with a chemical peel?
Absolutely.  I recommend using our Non-Traumantic Chirally-Correct peels.  They are made without harsh chemicals that might induce a burn effect on the skin.  They are loaded with antioxidants and nutrients as well as chirally-correct acids, such as L-lactic, L-malic and L-tartaric.

Does the skin actually peel from Dermaplaning?
Sometimes the skin does peel after derma planing.  If the procedure is done at a 2 week interval, then the skin cycle has not been completed.  Thus, you are blading skin that does not really need to be peeled yet and peeling can occur.

Also, if using a chemical peel after, you may experience some superficial peeling.  But the idea is not to over-exfoliate the skin.  We just want to assist in the skin’s natural exfoliation process.

What skin types/conditions can be treated?
All skin types can benefit from dermaplaning or blading, however, I would not recommend this treatment for those suffering from active acne lesions. If the hair is removed, then the oils tend to stay below the surface where they are prone to mix with bacterial colonies, ultimately stimulating more acne.

The Only Anti-Aging Serum You Need

SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum tackles all of your aging concerns with just one product

If you’re concerned about aging, blame Father Time, the sun and your parents. While two out of the three are beyond our control, the combination of these factors is responsible for an overwhelming majority of skin issues that arise with age. While some may turn to medical treatments or surgery to repair the symptoms of aging, skin care is the only way to restore your skin to a more youthful state, and in turn improve its appearance for the long run.

SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum is an all-in-one anti-aging product that addresses all of the visible signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, excess pigment and uneven tone and texture. Its blend of human growth factors, peptides, antioxidants and other anti-aging ingredients has been proven to deliver visible results within 30 days of use, with optimal results seen after 90 days.

To make the most of the exceptional ingredients found in SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum, the packaging features a unique dual-chamber pump that keeps the two products within separated until they are ready to be applied. This ensures maximum potency and consequently, maximum results.

The first chamber contains SkinMedica’s patented growth factor serum, TNS Recovery Complex. Growth factors are messenger molecules occur naturally in our skin, yet their number and performance begin to decline with age. By supplementing the skin with growth factors, cells are prompted to perform more efficiently again, in turn lending a younger-looking appearance to the skin.

The second chamber houses a blend of powerful antioxidants, peptides and other anti-aging ingredients that protect and further improve the appearance of the skin. The seven antioxidants were selected for their superior ability to protect skin cells from free radical damage, while the peptides work with the growth factors to repair the skin’s supportive matrix. The serum also contains alpha-arbutin to brighten and lighten the skin along with other anti-aging ingredients like hyaluronic filling spheres that instantly plump up the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Suitable for all skin types, SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum offers prevention and correction for the full spectrum of aging concerns. When the two serums are combined, they work synergistically to increase collagen production and regenerate your skin, improving its look and feel. With SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum, you’ll notice improvement in lines and wrinkles, lightening of dark spots, renewed skin elasticity and more even tone and texture—all from just one product.

A Clear, Radiant Complexion at Any Age

SkinMedica’s anti-acne arsenal relies on key ingredients that have been proven to banish breakouts

Hormonal fluctuations, stress, and genetics are among the main culprits behind breakouts. The key to treating and preventing blemishes is consistent use of anti-acne active ingredients that are strong enough to stop the breakout cycle, yet gentle enough to not cause additional redness and irritation. The SkinMedica skin-care range features 4 such products that work synergistically to stop acne at the source.

The first step in maintaining clear, blemish-free skin is exfoliation. By keeping the skin’s surface free of dead skin-cell buildup, clogged pores—a main cause of acne—are kept to a minimum. But manual exfoliation can exacerbate the redness and inflammation associated with acne, which is why chemical exfoliation is usually preferred by dermatologists.

There wouldn’t be acne without P. acnes bacteria, and limiting its proliferation is a crucial step in preventing blemishes. Benzoyl peroxide is a preferred anti-acne ingredient due to its ability to kill bacteria on the skin surface and reduce inflammation as it prevents clogged pores.

SkinMedica’s Acne Treatment Lotion is a benzoyl peroxide-based therapy that reduces P. acnes on the skin as it absorbs excess sebum, which is yet another contributor to acne. The Acne Treatment Lotion is formulated with an advanced microparticle delivery system that delivers maximum skin clearing with minimal irritation. This unique acne treatment also contains willow bark extract (a natural source of salicylic acid), plus soothing witch hazel and sage leaf extracts.

The SkinMedica Acne Treatment Lotion is available a la carte, or as part of the SkinMedica Acne System. This three-step anti-acne regimen also includes the Purifying Foaming Wash and the Purifying Toner. These two additional products contain 2% salicylic acid to remove excess oil and impurities from the skin, and in turn treat and prevent blemishes.

When using alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, it’s imperative to use daily sun protection. SkinMedica’s Environmental Defense Sunscreen SPF 30+ is safe for acne-prone skin.

SkinMedica skin-care products are available exclusively at doctors’ offices and medically-supervised spas.

Human Growth Factors and Vitamin C – A Powerful Duo for Younger Skin

SkinMedica Offers Age-Defying Skin Care with TNS Recovery Complex® and Vitamin C+E Complex

As spring gives way to summer sunshine, increased UV exposure as well as humidity and perspiration can wreak havoc on the skin, exposing signs of aging that were quietly hibernating during the winter and early spring months.

Two key ingredients responsible for promoting youthful, rejuvenated skin year-round are human growth factors and vitamin C.

Human growth factors are proteins found naturally in the skin that act as messengers to stimulate the creation of new collagen. Unlike young skin that renews itself every 28 days, as we get older, our skin’s ability to produce natural growth factors needed to stimulate fibroblasts to increase collagen production are limited due to damage by intrinsic or extrinsic aging. Human growth factors and potent antioxidants, such as vitamin C, can help replenish skin cells, build collagen and protect delicate skin from free radical damage.

Revitalize lackluster skin with SkinMedica’s skin care perfect pair: TNS Recovery Complex and Vitamin C&E Complex.

SkinMedica’s TNS Recovery Complex® offers an unparalleled, patented treatment gel with the highest concentration of growth factors (TNS®) on the market. The potent solution is clinically proven to effectively increase collagen production, enhance skin tone and texture as well as improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. TNS Recovery Complex helps strengthen the skin’s natural ability to regenerate itself to help improve the appearance of age spots in addition to making skin firmer and resilient.

Vitamin C, one of the most effective ingredients in skin rejuvenation, is clinically demonstrated to help build collagen and fight free radicals released in the skin through UV exposure.

SkinMedica’s Vitamin C&E Complex, a silky, fragrance-free formula, packs a skin-defending punch to fight free radical damage, promote cell renewal and increase collagen production. Follow TNS Recovery Complex with an application of Vitamin C&E Complex containing 15 percent stabilized vitamin C and E to help improve the appearance of skin tone, texture and firmness; plus, it delivers essential C and E vitamins to the skin all day.

TNS Recovery Complex and Vitamin C&E Complex should be used in conjunction with daily sun protection for best results. A sunscreen is essential for fighting free radical oxidation that can penetrate the skin and cause damage at the cellular level. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, such as SkinMedica’s Environmental Defense Sunscreen™ SPF 30+, a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with added biological antioxidant protection to fight against environmental damage.

SkinMedica’s “Essential Anti-Aging System” Packs Powerful Skin Rejuvenating Punch

As skin ages, elasticity decreases, fine lines and age spots start to appear and overall skin tone fades, losing its youthful glow.

SkinMedica’s “Essential Anti-Aging System” can help.

With a one-two punch against genetic, hormonal and environmental factors that wreak havoc on the skin over time, SkinMedica’s proven solution will help fight the signs of time. Its clinically proven Essential Anti-Aging System contains restorative ingredients that work below the skin’s surface to regenerate the health of the skin, combining the anti-aging TNS Essential Serum™ with the antioxidant-rich Retinol Complex.

TNS Essential Serum.

Together these potent products work as one to renew and transform the skin for a more youthful appearance.
