I think we all know too well the agony of having “zits” or acne, and the ongoing embarrassment it causes. Acne affects all ages, and in various ways. Most of us have suffered from acne and the scars that acne leaves, some for years into adulthood.

It seems that in years gone by, the best advice you could receive was to not eat chocolate, oily foods, nuts, or a lot of sweets. It never worked for me, but now there is a treatment that really works and it is called Thermage. Yes, Thermage. The same treatments used for getting rid of wrinkles and fine lines on the face and neck. Talk to your dermatologist about the Thermage Acne treatments and get rid of those nasty acne scars once and for all.

This treatment is only exclusively by certified physicians and provides simultaneous diamond exfoliation of the skin and infusion of specialized treatment serums deep in the skin where they
are most effective. The skin is gently buffed with spinning medical grade diamonds several solutions are delivered and absorbed by the skin. They don’t just sit there on top of the skin but are sent deeply into the skin by the Silkpeel handpiece. The skin receives vitamins, antioxidants and other therapeutic ingredients that it desperately needs. Clinical studies have shown that the Silkpeel Dermalinfushion provides even abrasion across the treatment area and rapid hydrating of the underlying cells.

Thermage has now made it possible to turn back the clock on the condition of your hands. Nothing gives away ones age faster than the skin on the back of a person hands. Thermage has now made the technology possible to tighten and thicken the delicate, crepe like skin that develops on the hands over time. One treatment is usually all it takes to regain the smooth skin of your youth that oils and creams used alone just don’t achieve.

Now you can remove those small, unsightly purple and red spider veins and those cherry red spots that appear on your face and other parts of your body. Your local cosmetic dermatologist has many tools to use for skin improvement, but the most advanced radiosurgical technology procedure is now being used very successfully to remove those unsightly veins and red spots that so many people are plagued with. This new technology is only used in the doctors office and it is painless and you will see almost immediate results. Radiosurgery is now the preferred method to eliminate those tiny blood vessels and spots. The results are immediate and very gratifying for sure.

Thermage continues to be on the cutting edge of skin improvement technology. Since 2009 when the newly designed facial treatment tips were introduced, Thermage has been at the forefront for treating fine lines and wrinkles on the face and continues to be popular for other parts of the body. It has been stated by skin care experts that the treatments are comfortable much like getting a “hot stone” massage to the face area.
Thermage is a safe and non invasive cosmetic procedure with no downtime that is clinically proven to tighten, contour, and rejuvenate the skin in a single treatment by reshaping your skin’s innermost structures. Immediate results are visable and continue to improve for up to 6 months.

Carboxytherapy refers to the administration, by a trained physician, of small amounts of Carbon Dioxide gas just beneath the skin surface. It is an almost painless procedure and is completed very fast so you don’t suffer any downtime.

The procedure is gaining in popularity and is also used to treat dark under eye circles, cellulite and those nasty looking stretch marks.

Speak to your Doctor about your stretch marks, cellulite or dark eye circles and see if Carboxytherapy is right for you.

One of the most common cosmetic procedures performed in the United States today is Laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is ranked second among cosmetic procedures behind Botox injections in frequency of procedures performed. When considering the removal of excess hair it is good to understand the different types of hair that grows on our bodies. Hair growth begins beneath the surface of your skin, in a hair root deep inside a hair follicle, which is a small tube within the skin itself.

Hair is made of keratin, a hard protein that’s also found in our fingernails and toenails.
This particular hair removal procedure has become a safe and highly sought after cosmetic procedure and is used by both men and women throughout the United State, Europe and Asia.

We all are aware of the lifestyle factors (such as smoking, bad diet, pollutants, toxins and the exposure to the sun) contributes to our changing skin. It has been estimated that up to 80 percent of our wrinkles, appearance of fine lines, loss of elasticity, pigment and texture changes, are caused by exposure to UV light.

As we age, we no longer produce new collagen and elastin like we did when we were younger, and this can lead to many skin changes, such as wrinkles and loss of tone or firmness. Sounds like everything is against us huh? Well, there is much we can do to limit the damage of sun exposure and to protect ourselves from premature aging of our skin.

Ultraceuticals is an Australian made and owned skincare line, and is the number one physician dispensed skincare system in Australia, and is now available to you through cosmetic dermatologists.

Containing products with ingredients such as Vitamin A, and it’s derivative, Retinol, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, AHA’s and other natural ingredients, the Ultraceuticals skin care range is packed full of high strength anti-oxidants, sun protection factors and collagen and elastin support and strengtheners, that have been proven to improve the appearance of fine lines, skin texture and tone.

After spending hours in the sun year after year can cause dark spots on our skin; our faces, our chests and hands. Usually the spots don’t appear until after our sun exposure is curtailed for a certain amount of time.

There is a fairly new treatment which can restore the skin to its original natural and youthful appearance. Called “photofacial” the new technology delivers a flash pulse of light to the skin surface, to restore a more even skintone by precisely targeting the darker pigment of the skin, with a focused wavelength of light that travels directly to the melanin in the dark spots causing them to gradually fade out. The dark spots tend to darken for a couple of days after each treatment, then fade to less than what they originally were. Four to six treatments spaced three weeks apart yield significant improvement with no downtime.

We all have a variety of skin problems from the time we are children to the time we are old and gray. Many of us try old so called “tried and true” methods, over the counter skin products, vitamins and solutions, creams, oils and you name it. Few of us really get serious about solving the real problem of what is causing our skin to age, to wrinkle, to dry up or what ever it is doing that makes us look old.

There are so many excellent products that have come onto the market in the last few years. Products that allow successful treatments without any incision or surgery. Problems like acne, scars, fine lines and wrinkles on the face and around the eyes, dark eye circles, baggy eyes, sagging tummies and buttocks, flabby skin on the neck, arms, thighs, legs and buttocks can all be taken care of now, fast with little down time. Even cellulite is being treated successfully with new procedures that are offering real hope for the first time. Talk to your local dermatologist and discuss your particular skin or body problem and you will see how fast you too can have a more youthful appearance and start feeling better about yourself, no matter how old you are. Most of these new products are FDA approved, non surgical and you can see the improvements right away and it wont cost you an arm and leg either.
