Top Treatments for Glowing Winter Skin

January 25th, 2010

winterface

Clean, radiant skin is definitely in this winter. But how do you get your skin to look luminous, even when the weather is cold, dry and unforgiving? Try these effective treatments:

1. Chemical peels are quick “lunchtime” procedures that are great for smoothing acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles. Peels work by removing layers of damaged skin to reveal a smoother complexion and a younger appearance.

2. Microdermabrasion with the DiamondTome™ Resurfacing system is a gentle, yet effective skin resurfacing tool that restores your skin’s radiance. Instead of using abrasive particles to treat the skin, the aesthetician uses a special DiamondTome that uses a diamond tipped wand to resurface skin so you look younger and more refreshed without the irritation of exfoliating particle treatments.

For more information about chemical peels or microdermabrasion, schedule your consultation today by calling 417-887-FACE.

How do hyaluronic fillers work?

January 18th, 2010

smileHyaluronic fillers use the body’s own moisture to maintain their shape, providing long-lasting, natural-looking results. As the acid in hyaluronic fillers begin to degrade over time, each molecule binds to more and more water in order to produce a similar amount of volume, even as the amount of dermal filler is reduced. The result? The effects of these fillers may last up to six months, sometimes even longer.

What are facial dermal fillers?

December 28th, 2009

smilingDermal fillers, like Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm, provide patients with restored skin volume and fullness while correcting moderate to deep facial wrinkles and folds. Because they are composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the human body, these fillers require no allergy test prior to treatment and they have been proven safe and effective for more than a decade.

To learn more about our dermal filler services please visit our website.

Beauty Myth: I need to completely avoid the sun

December 8th, 2009

BeautyMythsWe all know that overexposure to the sun causes premature wrinkles, age spots, and other problems, but a lack of sun exposure can also cause vitamin D deficiency which can lead to several serious health problems. Vitamin D is essential for proper calcium absorption and is found in certain foods like fish, eggs, Vitamin D milk, and cod liver oil. Vitamin D is also produced naturally when skin is exposed to sunlight. Just how much sunlight should you get? The key is moderation. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, aim for 15 minutes of sunlight per day.
