Pixel Laser Skin Resurfacing improves skin texture and tone, will smooth out wrinkles and does away with brown spots and people are raving about the results. It works well on those tiny fine lines of the lower eyelids.Dr. Zdinak at Precision Aesthetics says her patients are very happy with the results they are seeing and the procedures have become a frontrunner in her weapon stockpile of laser and light sources for treating the delicate under eye area.

The Pixel laser treats small zones of skin, leaving surrounding tissue untouched and intact, unlike the CO2 laser, which removes the entire surface epidermal layer. The untreated skin acts as a source of healthy skin cells that allow for rapid recovery [days instead of weeks]. An immediate return to activity is possible, with no messy dressings or complicated post-procedure care required. Pixel skin resurfacing is safe for patients with most any skin type and can be used on the delicate skin of the face, neck, chest and hands.

With summer almost here it is important for everyone to understand why our skin begins to age making us look much older. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, bad diet, pollutants, toxins and the exposure to the sun all contribute to our skin prematurely aging. It has been estimated that up to 80 percent of our wrinkles and facial lines, loss of elasticity, pigment and texture changes, are caused by exposure to UV light.

Skin is made up of three layers; epidermis, dermis and the fat layer under the dermis. As our collagen and elastin reduce, the support it provides to our skin structure breaks down. We no longer produce new collagen and elastin like we did when we were younger, and this can lead to many types of skin changes, such as wrinkles, fine lines and loss of tone or firmness.

Today, there is much we all can do to limit the damage of sun exposure and to protect ourselves from premature ageing of our skin. Ultraceuticals is an Australian made and owned skincare line, and is the number one physician dispensed skincare system in Australia. The Ultraceutical products were designed to focus on providing solutions for aging, pigmentation and problem skin in general.

Ultraceuticals skin care products is packed full of high strength anti-oxidants, sun protection factors and collagen and elastin support and strengtheners that improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, 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.
