AWARD-WINNING SOLUTIONS THAT ACTUALLY WORK!
WHAT CAUSES FINE LINES & WRINKLES?
Fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture are commonly assumed to be an inevitable result of aging. This belief, however, is not accurate. Most of these changes (90-95%) are caused by a loss of collagen and elastin in the skin due to damage caused by cumulative sun exposure and environmental stressors. Coupled with a decrease in cellular turnover with age, the result is dull, wrinkled skin with lost strength and volume. By the time someone is in their 60-70s, they have lost as much as 40-50% of the collagen in their dermis, resulting in loss of strength, volume, and wrinkles.
HOW TO ADDRESS WRINKLES & FINE LINES WITH SKIN CARE
The key to addressing aging skin is to resurface the skin with key ingredients like retinol and targeted resurfacing acids and rejuvenate the skin with advanced ingredients like Vitamin C, advanced growth factors, peptides, hyaluronic acid, cycloastragenol, and antioxidants.
Pairing skin care with in-office treatments and skin texture treatments for additional resurfacing of the skin can dramatically improve the appearance of texture, fine lines, and wrinkles and minimize or prevent additional future damage.
KEY SKIN CARE INGREDIENTS & TIPS TO PREVENT WRINKLES & AGING SKIN
Skin Resurfacing Acids: Exfoliating your skin with resurfacing technologies including Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) like glycolic acid, Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) like salicylic acid have been shown to assist the cellular turnover process by removing dry skin cells, helping to thin out the upper layer of skin as well as support production of new collagen and elastin. Glycolic Acid can also hydrate the skin and enhance collagen and elastin production to create more volume.
Retinoids: Retinoids, like all-trans-retinol, stimulate collagen production and thicken the dermis to reduce the appearance of wrinkles but not all retinoids are created equally. The type of retinoid, the concentration, and the manufacturing process directly affect the efficacy and result of the final product.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C is essential for multiple reasons! It is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent environmental aging in the skin, predominantly caused by sun exposure. The skin also needs Vitamin C to continually make collagen, to maintain firmness, and for overall growth and repair for skin health.
Peptides & Growth Factors: Peptides & Growth Factors serve as building blocks for collagen and elastic in the skin. They react to specific receptor sites so they can trigger and signal more effective skin functioning, helping skin to act in a younger way. They assist in correcting some of the cellular behavior that has occurred as a result of aging and therefore help with the skin's healing and repair to rebuild collagen & elastin to improve skin's overall quality including the skin's texture and elasticity.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Hyaluronic acid is one of the most important skin care ingredients to improve facial volume and laxity in the skin. A single HA molecule can bind over 1000 times its weight in water giving the skin "structure", while also providing resources necessary to produce new collagen and elastin. For HA to be effective, you need to be able to reach different parts of the skin. This requires use of varying sizes (macro to micro-molecular) and forms (cross-linked and liposomal encapsulated) of HA. Certain ingredients are shown to enhance our skin's ability to product (synthesis) and retain hyaluronic acid like Saccharomyces lysate and StimulHyal Calcium Ketogluconate.
Antioxidants: In addition to being powerful antioxidants, known for protecting your skin from free radical damage and premature aging, Vitamin C & DMAE are shown to improve common aging skin concerns like laxity and wrinkles. Vitamin C plays a major role in the body including assisting collagen and elastin production, giving skin its youthful "bounce". However, despite its importance to the body, Vitamin C is not naturally produced by humans so it needs to come from external sources. DMAE, a precursor to acetylcholine, is shown to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and helps by lifting and toning the appearance of facial contours.
Cycloastragenol: Cycloastragenol is a purified extract from the astragalus plant and is a strong antioxidant shown to significantly reduce many visible signs of aging. This compound extends T cell proliferation by increasing telomerase activity resulting in anti-aging and anti-inflammation benefits.
