Significant Advances in Anti-Aging Skin Care Treatments

Significant Advances in Anti-Aging Skin Care Treatments

Many of us would like firmer, younger-looking skin but nowadays most people prefer natural looking results rather than a surgical appearance. The trend of this decade is to age beautifully.

Anti-Aging Treatment

As we age, self-renewing capacities of our body naturally decline. This is because stem cell reserves of our body gradually deplete and the ability of stem cells to multiply and replace aging cells with new ones diminishes. Stressful lifestyle, malnutrition, bad habits and poor environment accelerate our body decline. Is there a chance to revert or at least slow down this process?

While the process itself isn’t simple, the answer to that question is: yes. At Advanced Skincare, we offer novel, advanced therapy, using a natural holistic approach.

To do this, your  facial will have all the steps of a basic facial, but with ingredients that are targeted to aging or “mature” skin, which is usually age 40 and up. You can have anti-aging facials even when you’re in your late twenties or early thirties, because by this age, your skin may already show signs of maturity. This is especially true based on your lifestyle choices, and your environment.

Why do we need an anti-aging facial?  As we age, our skin gets thinner and dryer. It loses collagen, which gives it a thick, plump appearance. Our skin also loses elastin, which makes it snap back quickly.

The time it takes for healthy young cells to migrate to the top most layer slowdown, which makes skin duller looking. And our faces are more exposed to the elements, and get lines and creases from all the facial expressions we make.

How Effective Are Anti-Aging Facials?
They can be very effective, but it depends on the skill and experience of the skincare professional, the quality of the products, the equipment used and whether you carry through with a good home skin care regimen. Anti-aging skin care products are more effective with in conjunction with treatments like iontophoresis, sonophoreis, Micro Needling, Micro Current and Facial Peels which all boosts collagen.

Microcurrent technology uses very low current electricity to rejuvenate facial muscles, increase cellular activity, improve skin tone and texture, and increase blood and lymphatic circulation.

​Ultrasounic facials uses sound wave technology to penetrate deep below the surface of the skin promoting cellular renewal and repair, increasing blood circulation, encouraging lymphatic drainage, combating puffiness and swelling and improving skin care product penetration. Results can vary by individual and skin type, are gradual, and will not just occur over night. Although Ultrasonic treatment has been shown to produce an immediate and temporary firming effect, continued daily application will provide more cumulative long-term, lasting results.

Stem Cells
If you’ve been following skin care innovations for the last year or so, chances are you’ve heard about stem cells or have seen the ingredient pop up in various skin creams and serums. Stem cells are said to be able to make skin look refreshed and younger.  Our stem cell facial programs are aimed at both the prevention of premature aging and the maintenance of youthfulness.

Stem cells are incredibly unique because they have the potential to transform into any kind of cell type within the body. They also have the power to regenerate and multiply. These characteristics are the reasons why so many scientists are obsessed with stem cells – when used to fight illness or disease, they can actually help the body regrow damaged tissue and heal itself from the inside out.

What does this mean in the world of facials? Well, just as stem cells can replace damaged heart or liver cells, they can also regenerate skin cells. As we age, the integrity of cell walls diminishes and our skin becomes wrinkled, losing its elasticity, plumpness and radiance.

The stem cell facial is a restorative process that promotes rejuvenation of tissue, skin tightness, natural contour and shape of the face, and requires absolutely no surgery. The process involves high tech facial equipment to allow it to penetrate into the skin. A topical application of stem cells can breathe new life into aging skin and help your body replace damaged cells with new, more youthful looking skin cells.

Celebrities have been the first to embrace a totally new technique in facial rejuvenation that offers long lasting improvements that will make many of today’s aesthetic treatments obsolete. Youthful beauty is restored by introducing millions of powerful new stem cells under the skin to eliminate facial lines, wrinkles, scars and replace lost skin volume. Your own newly activated stem cells go to work causing a dynamic regeneration response on the cellular level.

Advanced Skincare has developed a unique, highly effective facial treatment. The facial procedures we use not only deeply nourish the skin but also stimulate the patient’s own regenerative forces, resulting in clearer, firmer and more vibrant skin after as few as 3 treatment procedures.

Major improvements observed in our patients include:

  • reduced skin lines and wrinkles;
  • greater firmness and elasticity in the skin;
  • clearer, lighter, more even-toned skin with decreased pigmentation.

Our Signature Skin tech facial is a new advancement in non-surgical skincare that combines the most advanced technologies for anti-ageing, pigmentation and acne. This revolutionary technique offers 3 standalone technologies in one facial to deliver to each client a unique custom treatment for their individual concerns.

Obviously, a course of treatments will be more effective than a one-off treatment. Monthly facials are great; leave it to the experts, who’ll repair any damage to your skin, and then get you into the rhythm of maintenance facial.

As always, prevention is better than cure. If you start as early as possible, taking care of your skin, then you’ll have a better chance of maintaining good skin throughout your life. That said, it’s never too late to start!

Understand What Essential Oils Are All About

Understand What Essential Oils Are All About

Essential oils have been used from time immemorial. Judeo-Christian scriptures frequently refer to incense and expensive ointments that were applied to the head or to the body. The anti-microbial properties of these oils are the reasons they have been used therapeutically throughout the ages. Mostly known for their pleasant aroma, it’s really their therapeutic properties that make them so important. Still, the natural chemistry of essential oil remains a narrow and specialized field. Just as a rose is not like every other rose, essential rose oil, for example, varies from rose to rose, depending not only on the species used but also on other factors such as origin, soil, climate and the year. Oils are like wine; Not all Bordeaux wines are equal!

The Facts on Essential Oils

Essential oils are distillations from plants, flowers, roots, seeds, shrubs or tree parts. Their quality depends not only on the raw material but also on the extraction or distillation process.

It takes a large amount of raw material to make a drop of essential oil. For example:

  • 2,500 pounds of rose petals (imagine the volume of petals that represents–about a small room full) are used to make one cup of essential oil of rose petals.
  • 1,300 pounds of cinnamon (and that’s a lot of cinnamon bags) are needed to make a little more than half a cup (about 5 oz.)

Essential oils are made from the fluid that circulates within each plant to nourish, protect and heal it. This fluid contributes to keeping insects and microorganisms away. Properties of the plant fluid can be lost in the extraction process through overheating. Integrity extraction processes are vital.

Essential oils are not oily like cooking oils and do not get rancid as easily. Neither do they contain strong antioxidants that slow down, or prevent, their own oxidation. As a result, some oils are used as anti-oxidants, a great weapon in any anti-aging program as well as preservation of skincare products.

Essential oils can play an important role in any detoxification program by stimulating blood and lymph circulation (as demonstrated by a number of medical studies). As a result, they can have these beneficial effects:

  • improving oxygenation and delivering nutrients to cells (red blood functions)
  • stimulating the elimination process within tissues (venous and lymphatic circulation functions).

All these properties are the reasons why an intelligent use of well selected, high quality, natural essential oils blended into natural skincare products makes them exceptionally useful and potent.
