Protecting our Skin with Ultraceuticals
Our skin is made up of three layers, the epidermis, the dermis and the fat layer under the dermis. As we age, the natural changes that occur cause the epidermis to become thicker and the dermis and fat layer to become thinner. As our collagen and elastin reduce, the support it provides to our skin structure breaks down. Furthermore, we no longer produce new collagen and elastin like we did when we were younger, and this can lead to skin changes, such as wrinkles and loss of tone or firmness.
Lifestyle factors such as smoking, bad diet, pollutants, toxins and the exposure to the sun also contributes to changing skin. It has been estimated that up to 80 percent of our wrinkles, loss of elasticity, pigment and texture changes, are caused by exposure to UV light.
Fortunately, there is much we can do to limit the damage of sun exposure and to protect ourselves from premature aging of our skin. There are vitamins for the skin. Ultraceuticals is an Australian made and owned skincare line, and is the number one physician dispensed skincare system in Australia, and now it is available to you exclusively through Precision Aesthetics.
These products were designed to focus on providing solutions for aging, pigmentation and problem skin. With products containing 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 in 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 introducing the very popular products to the U.S. market, Dr. Zdinak says that it is nearly impossible to keep enough supply on hand for the growing needs of her customers. “Since I brought Ultraceuticals to my office in Manhattan, the Vitamin C products and the tinted SPF have become so popular for summer that we sell out of them as soon as the shipment arrives.”
