HOW does it work?

By stimulating skin’s natural barrier function, NIA 24 builds stronger, better skin that’s more resilient and resistant to damage. By improving the skin’s barrier function, overall skin tone and texture improve. NIA 24 reduces the appearance of visible brown spots, hyperpigmentation and lines specifically associated with sun damage. Without it, skin falls prey to daily sun and environmental stresses that slow skin’s self-protective function and speed the visible signs of aging.

This special form of Pro-Niacin delivers immediate and residual benefits, as well as continuous dermal-delivery of Niacin without vasodilation and photosensitivity.

WHY does it work?

During research partially funded by the National Institutes of Health, scientists identified an important role for the active form of Niacin in how cells respond to genetic damage. NIA 24 introduces that breakthrough: patented Pro-Niacin.

While Niacin is used in other products on the market, Pro-Niacin is the first and only patented Niacin molecule that converts its active form to regenerate skin cell layers.

Improvements in skin texture, smoothness and appearance of hyperpigmentation in a subject treated with Pro-Niacin:

Who’s NIA 24 for?

NIA 24 is ideal for any patient, both female or male, who sees-or doesn’t want to see-the premature signs of aging, from lines to age spots. As a skin strengthener, it’s also a necessary companion for those undergoing serious skin care or procedures.

What you may experience when first beginning the NIA24 Skin System:

First Blush:
* A warming sensation that can lead to redness or irritation. Follow an introductory regimen and apply a cool compress to soothe skin.

Initial Breakout:
* As skin adjusts to increased Niacin, a breakout may occur due to temporarily increased sebaceous activity. Follow the recommended introductory regimen.

Dryness:
* Depending on environmental and dermal moisture levels, skin can experience increased dryness. The barrier’s ability to retain moisture and resist damage inside can make surface skin feel dry.

Reductions in rosacea-like redness and evening out of skin tone:

Skin’s better outside.

In clinical studies, patients see dramatic differences in just 90 days:
90% reduction in hyperpigmentation
82% improved skin texture
81% increased skin smoothness
80% improved skin tone
68% reduction in fine lines & wrinkles
53% improved firmness

Improvement in broken capillaries and irregular skin tone from sun damage:

How are NIA 24 products different?

Dermatologist-approved PCA SKIN Clinical Care Products are scientifically formulated using biocompatible and chirally correct ingredients such as alpha and beta hydroxy acids, peptides, antioxidants and advanced botanicals. PCA home care products will nourish, hydrate and rejuvenate your skin.

Free of color additives, synthetic fragrances, harsh alcohols, comedogenic oils and other known sensitizers, PCA home care products are designed to deliver results without irritation.

We recommend using medically dispensed PCA home care products in addition to your clinical treatment plan to further enhance your results.

Whether battling acne, rosacea, sun damage or aging skin, daily use of PCA SKIN Clinical Care Products will dramatically improve skin health and help provide the glowing, radiant complexion you desire.

Many of the PCA SKIN® Clinical Care Products contain a blend of lactic and citric acids which promotes healthy cell turnover and allows the products to remain pH balanced.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs):
All alpha hydroxy acids have the effect of dissolving the bonds between skin cells, to allow for exfoliation that will bring newer cells to the surface. Each AHA also has additional benefits:
Lactic Acid – hydrating and helps even skin discoloration
Malic Acid – hydration
Glycolic Acid – fast penetration [which can be a negative] and oil control
Citric Acid – prevents and corrects the thinning of the skin associated with aging and aids in hydration
Tartartic Acid – antioxidant action from grapes
Mandelic Acid – possible effect on evening skin discoloration

Antioxidants
Antioxidant – A group of vitamins, minerals and enzymes that help repair and prevent cell damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are responsible for premature aging by damaging cells and breaking down collagen and other proteins within the skin.
Green Tea – Tea is an excellent source of antioxidant polyphenols and anti-inflammatory agents. EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate), which is a component of green tea, is considered the most powerful polyphenol of them all. It offers skin soothing benefits, protects the skin from UV induced damage and is being studied very carefully for possible anti-tumor and anti-cancer capabilities.
Tocotrienols and Tocopherol (Vitamin E) – these forms of vitamin E have superior antioxidant benefits due to their exceptional ability to penetrate the skin cells.
Grapes –The flesh, skin and seeds of the grape all contain polyphenols that offer many skin health benefits.
Olives – a great source of antioxidant polyphenols and vitamin E.
Retinol (Vitamin A) – has strong antioxidant properties along with the ability to increase cell turnover for healthier and brighter looking skin.
Soy – the isoflavones found in soy are potent members of the polyphenol family. They work to plump and hydrate the skin. They fight aging and wrinkle formation by building the collagen matrix. They also effectively quench the free radical damage that speeds the aging process.
Cherries – help to fight free radicals and acts as potent anti-inflammatory ingredients.
Citrus Fruits – are a great source of polyphenols. A number of citrus fruits not only have antioxidant value but also increase the amount of vitamin C within the cells.

Examples of PCA SKIN® Clinical Care Products containing antioxidants:
pHaze 24 Rejuvenating Serum
A powerful epidermal growth factor formulation with a full complement of antioxidant polyphenols.
pHaze 15+ C-Quench® Antioxidant Serum
A stable and effective ascorbic acid serum with the addition benefit of a well-rounded blend of polyphenols.
pHaze 16 C-Strength 15% (L-ascorbic acid) with 5% Vitamin E
A stable and effective topical cream utilizing the superior antioxidant properties of both vitamin C and E.
pHaze 16+ C-Strength 20% (L-ascorbic acid) with 5% Vitamin E
A stable and effective topical cream utilizing the superior antioxidant properties of both vitamin C and E.

Pigment Control
Hydroquinone -the only ingredient currently approved by the FDA as a skin lightener. HQ works primarily by bleaching existing skin discoloration and also prevents future pigment from occurring.
Kojic Acid – an antibacterial and antifungal agent that evens skin tone.
Licorice – a very effective ingredient for gently evening skin discolorations that also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Lactic Acid – (sour milk) evens skin discoloration, hydrates and reduces the build up of dead skin cells.
Ascorbic Acid – (primarily citrus fruits) acts as a natural skin brightener.

Examples of PCA SKIN® Clinical Care Products containing pigment control ingredients:
pHaze 23 A&C Synergy Serum
Formulated with a blend of skin brightening, strengthening and antibacterial ingredients.
pHaze 13 Pigment Gel® Dyschromia Controller
The gold standard in the treatment of skin discolorations. An artful blend of pigment control ingredients (including hydroquinone) combined with AHAs to provide maximum results.
pHaze 13 Pigment Bar
The cleansing companion to our pigment control program designed to enhance and maintain results.

Peptides
Peptides are synthesized protein fragments designed to perform specific functions in the skin and body.

Here are a few peptides of note:
Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline) – works by relaxing facial muscles that cause repeated facial expression.
Dipeptide-2 – improves lymphatic circulation to more effectively remove toxins in the skin. Improved lymphatic flow will help to minimize dark circles and puffiness by having fresher healthier looking skin and less pooling of fluid and blood under the eyes.
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3 -increases skin firmness and elasticity while diminishing eye area puffiness
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide – Palmitoyl Tetrapatide-3 (Matrixyl 3000™) a blend of two advanced peptides that provide visible anti-wrinkle activity.
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 (Matrixyl®) has been proven to increase collagen production to strengthen and firm the skin, and dramatically reduce fine lines and wrinkles

Examples of PCA SKIN® Clinical Care Products containing peptides:
pHaze 12 eyeXcellence
A peptide eye remedy designed to soothe and hydrate the eye area while strengthening the skin, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, and reduces under-eye puffiness.
pHaze 25 ExLinea™ Peptide Smoothing Serum
A wrinkle reducing serum designed to hydrate, smooth and firm the skin with a blend of powerful peptides and skin strengthening agents.

Acne Control
Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO) – reduces the number of skin surface bacteria and acts as an oxidizing agent, making it appropriate for clearing comedones or blackheads and disabling the acne causing bacteria, p. acnes.
Salicylic Acid – works to dissolve dead skin cells and impurities within the skin. Salicylic acid also helps break down and reduce blackheads and whiteheads.
Sulfur – acts as an antibacterial agent that softens blemishes and blackheads to reduce the occurrence of acne related scarring.
Azelaic Acid – has gentle yet effective antibacterial properties, making it suitable for most acne suffers. Also can help to reduce skin discolorations often left behind following breakouts.

Examples of PCA SKIN® Clinical Care Products containing acne control ingredients:
pHaze 31 BPO 5% Cleanser
A gentle cleanser containing 5% benzoyl peroxide for antibacterial properties.
pHaze 32 Blemish Control Bar
An excellent antibacterial cleansing bar containing layers of salicylic acid and sulfur. Can be used to cleanse areas of breakouts on the face or body.
pHaze 33 Acne Cream
A benzoyl peroxide acne spot treatment that effectively delivers oxygen into the follicles to help kill the bacteria responsible for acne.
pHaze 35 Acne Gel
A gentle yet effective spot treatment for acne that combines salicylic and azelaic acids to reduce and treat acne breakouts.

Commonly Asked Questions

Q: Why would I use pHaze 5 Nutrient Toner instead of pHaze 2 Smoothing Toner?
A: pHaze 2 Smoothing Toner is an active alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) Solution that helps reduce oil production and smooth the skin’s surface texture. pHaze 5 Nutrient Toner has a lower percentage of AHA’s in combination with a rich blend of enzymes, amino acids and vitamins to heal and nourish the skin. pHaze 5 Nutrient Toner is most appropriate for normal to dry and mature skin as well as those in need of skin repair. Many acne patients will alternate pHaze 2 Smoothing Toner and pHaze 5 Nutrient Toner.

Q: I have breakout-prone skin that is also sensitive. How would I decide between using pHaze 33 Acne Cream and pHaze 35 Acne Gel as a spot treatment?
A. pHaze 33 Acne Cream is an active benzoyl peroxide spot treatment that is designed for more resilient acne-prone skin. It is a very effective anti-acne agent, but might prove too stimulating for your sensitive skin. pHaze 35 Acne Gel is a combination of salicylic acid, azelaic acid and active botanicals to kill bacteria and reduce oil production and acne breakouts. This formula would probably be a better choice, as it is very gentle and effective.

Q: What makes pHaze 25 ExLinea Peptide Smoothing Serum different from other peptide products on the market?
A. There are many different peptides on the market that perform different functions in the skin. The peptide in ExLinea, acetyl hexapeptide-3, is specifically targeted for relaxing facial tension that can cause facial wrinkling while reducing the depth of existing wrinkles. ExLinea also incorporates hyaluronic acid to increase the skin’s moisture binding ability. To further enhance your results, combine pHaze 25 ExLinea with pHaze 12 eyeXcellence. pHaze 12 eyeXcellence contains three other peptides that are targeted for reducing under eye circles, puffiness and wrinkles. Using these two advanced formulations together leaves the skin plump, hydrated, smooth and firm.

Applying PREVAGE MD anti-aging treatment to your face and neck twice a day can:

- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improve the overall appearance of your skin
- Protect your skin from environmental stressors known to cause skin aging

What is PREVAGE® MD?
Idebenone, found in PREVAGE® MD [1% Idebenone], is scientifically shown to be the most powerful antioxidant available in a skin care product today. PREVAGE® MD helps correct the skin damage that is already present and protects skin from future damage by environmental stressors known to cause skin aging including UV radiation, ozone, air pollution, cigarette smoke, and the aging process itself.

The antioxidative power of PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment has been shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as skin roughness and dryness, and to even skin tone to restore youthful-looking skin.

About Antioxidants
Free radical–mediated inflammatory pathways are caused by exposure to environmental stressors such as UV radiation, ozone, air pollution, and cigarette smoke, among others. These inflammatory pathways are characterized by the formation of free radicals, which are highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons.
If they are left unchecked, free radicals can cause extensive damage to cell membranes, lipids, proteins, and DNA. They are also a major cause of skin aging. Because antioxidants scavenge and eliminate free radicals, they are able to counter the deleterious effects of the free radical–mediated inflammatory pathways promoted by oxidative stress.

Some examples of topical antioxidants that are used today include kinetin (used in Kinerase®), coenzyme Q10 (used in Q10 Plus Wrinkle Control products from Nivea®), lipoic acid (used in N.V. Perricone M.D. Cosmeceuticals®), vitamin C, vitamin E (used in many anti-aging products), and now idebenone, the most powerful antioxidant available for topical use and the active ingredient in PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment.

- Reduces the visible signs of acne in as early as two weeks… – - When I first heard this I was like, “yeah, right” every acne system claims faster, better results what makes this one any different or more unique? As an esthetician, I get quite a few manufacturers boasting about their acne treatments and why we should use theirs in our clinic and believe me, I have tried dozens of different treatment modalities for mild to moderate acne. Some work okay for a while and then start to lose potency; most often, however, compliance is the number one problem with acne treatment.

Compliance, for most clients, diminishes with each day of the treatment because either they are not seeing the results they wanted fast enough or they get lazy and don’t want to have to bother with twice daily application of a treatment regimen. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard, “well, I tried Proactive but it dried me out and then stopped working” so now I decided to come in and have my acne treated. I have one hour of your time every six weeks – do you really think I can get your acne under control in that one hour? Of course not! If you are serious about treating acne and preventing future breakouts, then you must change your schedule to fit in a treatment regimen. Five (5) minutes in the morning or five (5) minutes in the evening, that’s it.

My sister is a typical acne sufferer. She is in her early 30’s and has had acne breakouts on and off since her teens. Her acne has changed over the years to a more cyclical breakout (hormone induced) but she still complains about the way her face looks and has begged me time and time again to help her. I have treated her in the office and sent her on her way with more acne products than I care to count – and every time, she comes back with her standard response “it worked for the first week or two and now my acne is back”. You can’t just treat acne while you have active lesions and expect that they are gone for good… A consistent daily regimen will prevent new breakouts from forming or at least significantly reduce the acne formation. If you can’t get your own sister to comply with a daily regimen, how can you expect clients you only see every few months to stick to a product regimen.

When CLENZIderm M.D. by Obagi came out in December 2006 during its “soft launch”, our clinic was one of the first to get our hands on the kit. The system technology is unique and we were intrigued by the concept – but would it work long-term? We started two of our clients on it that had suffered with acne breakouts for over a year and both called within two weeks of using the system with positive feedback. Okay – but what about a month later? two months later?…
Four months later – and still going strong for both clients – one still has minor breakouts each month around her cycle, but overall both clients have been acne free! They are thrilled with the results and we are surprised that they stuck it out. One of the clients said the reason why she continued to use it is because she saw her face clearing up within the first week and she got so excited that she couldn’t wait to see how she looked at week two and then week three. By six weeks into the program – this particular client had no active pimples on her cheeks and jawline, and it had been over two years since she was 100% blemish-free.

Now, for the real test. I bought one and gave it to my sister. If anyone could sabotage the great feedback we have had – it would be her! On day two of starting the regimen (April 14th, 2007) she called saying that her face smelled funny and was that normal? Does it smell like menthol, I asked? Yeah – that’s all I can smell on and off all day long I keep getting bursts of menthol smell on my face, she replied. Please, I said, give it two weeks and then if you don’t like it you can stop…the menthol is suppose to soothe the skin and calm down inflammation.

It is now the 11th of May 2007 and she is still using the CLENZIderm! Why, because by the second week of using it – her face had cleared up and around the time she had her first cycle after starting it – no breakouts. Now – that is a true TEST of a product.

Here’s the kicker – - you can’t just use one product out of the three-step system, you MUST use all three products systematically for it to work properly. No cheating! With this system, it is all or nothing. Of course, the Foaming Cleanser lasts longer than the Serum Gel so we have taken some of the kits apart to allow our customer’s to purchase each item separately for convenience.

What makes this system unique? The Benzoyl Peroxide in this system is in liquid form. What does this mean? It means that the Benzoyl Peroxide is one-tenth the size of a regular benzoyl peroxide molecule and this allows it to penetrate into the pore where the p. acne bacteria is thriving and causing inflammation, redness, etc. This particular type of bacteria cannot live in the presence of oxygen. Benzoyl Peroxide emits oxygen into the pore, killing the bacteria on contact disrupting its “reign of terror” on the skin. Step 1 – Daily Care Foaming Cleanser removes surface debris and oils from the skin with salicylic acid. Step 2 – Pore Therapy opens the pore and lowers the pH of the skin preparing it for the third step. Step 3 – Serum Gel penetrates the pore and kills the bacteria. The key is the size of the BPO molecule and CLENZIderm is the only system on the market that has this technology.

I recommend that ANYONE who has acne breakouts that are mild to moderately severe should try this system. Teens under 12 years of age should be cleared by a physician to use this system prior to starting it.

The cost for this kit is $70 and it lasts about two months (8 weeks) – that is a little over a $1.00 per day for the treatment. Is your skin worth it?

** Note: Benzoyl Peroxide may bleach hair or dyed fabrics**

Updated Pictures of untouched RevitaLash Before and After photographs:

Before:
Untouched image of 33 y.o. female before beginning RevitaLash case study. As you can see, there are barely visible lashes on the upper eyelids at Week 1.

After:
Untouched image 10 weeks after beginning daily application of RevitaLash on the upper and lower lash lines. The difference is astonishing. If I had not known this lady personally – I probably would not have believed the pictures were real…

This next set of images are untouched (Side View) photographs of an Asian female before and after the use of RevitaLash:

Untouched image of a 36 y.o. Asian female (Side View). She had short lashes on the top and mainly wanted them longer. Sparse lashes on the lower lids which she wanted thicker and longer.

Untouched image 7 weeks after beginning daily use of RevitaLash on her upper and lower lashes. As you can see, the length of her upper lashes has dramatically changed over the course of treatment. Her lower lashes are not only longer but there are also more lashes on the bottom.

Here’s what our customers are saying about RevitaLash™:

“This is my second month and this is unbelievable – my lashes have doubled!”

— Lori, Texas

“I didn`t know it was so easy to get what I wanted! No more extensions or false eyelashes. Now it`s my own natural lashes!”

— Samantha T., Los Angeles, CA

“As a mother of small children, I`m often rushed and busy. However, it`s nice to know that I can rush out of the door without wearing mascara.”

— Debbie S., Santa Barbara, CA

“I’ve been using your product for only two weeks and I really notice the difference in my lashes. The results are dramatic. I’m very impressed!”

— Marian, California

“I’ve just been using Revitalash for about a week and a half and I’ve noticed some results already. At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I looked at my lashes in the mirror, but I was not mistaken when I saw longer, fuller, and darker lashes. I hope to have even longer lashes in the next few upcoming weeks!”

— Joyce, IL

“I purchased this product as a last resort. I had started trying to wear false eyelashes due to my own were becoming thin and barely noticible. In the process of removing the false lashes, I managed to pull out half of what little eyelashes that I had to begin with. Frustrated and desperate, I went looking on the internet to find a way to replace my lashes and came across Revitalash. It has been around 4 weeks since I began using your product and what a difference!!! You not only cannot tell where I pulled most of my lashes out, but my lashes are thicker and fuller than before!! I love your product!! Thanks for giving my lashes back!!”

— Angela, VA

“I had just finished chemo, lost all my hair and lashes, and within days the last of my brows had completely come off. The product says that you can see results as early as three weeks, but I actually started to see results within three DAYS! With each day that has passed, my eyebrows have become more defined and much fuller and thicker than what I originally had before chemo. Within five days, my lashes began to peek out from their roots. It is amazing to think that this is only eleven days later and I have brows that no longer need a pencil and lashes that will soon be able to wear mascara! I now wake up excited every morning eager to look in the mirror and see what amazing growth has taken place overnight!”

— Julie, CA

“I started using this product about three weeks ago and my lashes have definitely gotten longer. Now I`m starting to see new lashes growing in between the old ones. I no longer need to mess with false lashes. Yeah!”

— Karen J

“I am a cancer patient who lost all hair, lashes and brows, and started using this product 11 days ago. I am still in complete awe that my brows started growing back within 3 days and lashes within 5 days. I am hooked on this product!”

— Julie

“I originally wanted the Jan Marini Eyelash product but it is very hard to get. When I called, the esthetician recommended Revitalash and I have to say, it is great! I have only been using it three weeks but have started to notice a difference already. I am a lifer…”

— Kelli Giraldi

“This product is awesome! I noticed results in 3 weeks and after 9 weeks I had to cut my eyelashes because they were getting too obnoxious! I love this product!”

— Heather Felix

“I cannot believe the results of Revitalash. I’ve only been using it for a week and I already notice my lashes are longer and thicker. I was really skeptical of it, even after I read the information and testimonials on your website, but I am amazed!”

—Amee

“My lashes were already thining before I had my chemo but they came out after that. They started to grow back but very brittle and very sparce and short. I recently ordered & started using Revitalash faithfully every night for almost 4 weeks and noticed an immediate difference in just 3 weeks. I notice how long and thick and healthy they seem and I can now wear my mascara. I have recommended to all my friends too. Amazing results!”

—Kathleen, Texas

“I’ve only been using RevitaLash for 6 weeks and already see a dramatic difference! I even skipped a few nights of treatment and it still worked. This is only after 6 weeks so I can’t imagine how great they will look after a few months. I am definitely a life long for sure!”

“Several years ago I started losing my eyebrow hair. I have always hated seeing women with “drawn on” crooked eyebrows, and found myself spending up to 30 minutes each morning trying to make my brow look “real”. I was considering tattoo when I found out about Revitalash. I decided to give it a try before doing something so permanent. Revitalash is wonderful! Although my brows are sparse, I have hair and can follow the natural shape. I couldn’t be a happier customer!! If you ever have a potential customer that needs to see proof, I’m your girl! Thank you so much.”

How Long Does One Bottle Last?

If you use the product every single day, the bottle will last at least three months.

Skin rejuvenation for even the most sensitive skin

M.D. FORTÉ  is a comprehensive alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) skin care system. Only M.D. FORTÉ  products offer the scientific advantage of combining glycolic acid (an AHA naturally found in sugar cane) with the process of partial neutralization. This allows us to create products with significantly higher concentrations of glycolic acid plus a pH closer to that of normal skin to help minimize irritation.

We also offer several non-AHA products for more sensitive or vulnerable skin. So whatever your skin type, you can enjoy maximum results with less irritation with a personalized regimen to cleanse, renew, hydrate, and protect your skin.

The M.D. FORTÉ  alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) skin care system is based on two decades of glycolic acid research resulting in products with higher AHA levels than similar products, giving you the strength to deliver beautiful results-without irritation.

M.D. FORTÉ  lets you and your physician develop a personalized skin care regimen that’s just right for you. Combined with your physician’s expertise, your M.D. FORTÉ  regimen can help you attain:

* Visibly smoother and softer skin
* Diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
* Increased skin hydration for a softer feel
* Balanced skin tone
* Improvement in oily or acne-prone skin

AHA’ s shed, or exfoliate, dead cells of the dry outer layer of the epidermis, which results in the appearance of younger, healthier-looking skin.

AHA’ s also limit transepidermal water loss, thereby improving the skin’s moisture-binding ability. Skin that retains more water becomes smoother and younger-looking, and diminishes the effects of sun damage.

Glycolic acid, naturally found in sugar cane and available in M.D. FORTÉ  products, is a particularly effective form of AHA. This is because its small molecular size means more active molecules of glycolic acid are available in a given concentration as compared with lactic acid and polyhydroxy acid (PHA).  The result? More activity for faster delivery of unique benefits when and where they’re needed most.

However, while glycolic acid helps shed dead skin cells and hydrate the skin, it can also cause irritation. In fact, the higher the concentration of glycolic acid, the better the results-but the greater the irritation too.

M.D. FORTÉ  is unique in that it achieves a healthy balance between concentration and comfort, maximizing the advantages of glycolic acid with minimal irritation. It does this through a process called partial neutralization.

Partial neutralization creates a reservoir of glycolic acid molecules that permits both first- and second-phase penetration. Because the glycolic acid is released over an extended period of time, higher concentrations of acid can be used to achieve maximum results. Importantly, partial neutralization also raises the product pH closer to the pH of normal skin, further reducing irritation potential to provide maximum efficacy, minimum irritation, and beautiful results.
