Anti-Aging Skincare

Wrinkles, sagging neck, face drooping, deep , deep grooves in the forehead and in between the eyebrows, lines above and below the lips, marionette lines around the mouth, chronic rashes, broken capillaries, dry, rough skin with brown aging sun spot damage. These are the sad facts about what occurs to us as we age. Genes and ethnic factors influence the speed and degree of these processes. Now instead of relying on marketing commercials to influence our decisions on what topical creams we should apply to our faces we now can get scientific.

We can slow up the aging process by gene repair and hormone balancing. The ideal goals to treat aging DNA damaged skin is to have products that reduce inflammation (tumor necrosis factor and Prostoglandin E2), neutralize oxidative free radicals, enhance apoptosis, stimulate the general and local skin immune functions, balance hormone control and alter gene expression.

The following are skin topical preparations that have liposomes for maximum delivery to the deeper layers of the subdermis.

For men in treating aging, sun damaged skin with wrinkles: use liposomal creams that contains a skin growth factor, an anti-oxidant (idebenome), CAE ( carboxy alkyl esters- extracts from cat’s claw) repairs DNA damage, an exfoliant such as Avage-Tazarotene (or Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid or Salicylic Acid), alpha lipoic acid, Vitamin C Ester, Niacin and Zinc. In some men if their estrogen levels are high use a progesterone 10 mg. cream; if their DHEA level is low take 25 mg. DHEA orally and if their Melatonin level is low add 1-3 mg. orally daily.

For women with aging sun damaged skin with wrinkles similar use of a liposomal cream that contains skin growth factors, anitioxidant, CAE, an exfoliant such as Avage(or Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid) , alpha lipoic acid, vitamin C Ester, Niacin, Zinc and the anti-oxidant idebenome. In some women t with low estrogen, progesterone or high testosterone use progesterone cream 20 mg. twice daily; low DHEA use DHEA 25 mg. orally; low Melatonin use Melatonin 1-3 mg. orally once daily.

An effective anti-aging facial is a treatment with Caviar and Retinol which is indicated in all types of skin in the prevention and repair of skin aging. This therapy is particularly effective in individuals with markedly sagging, atonic, wrinkled skin(following significant weight loss or stress); skin exposed to marked weather conditions(wind, sun, extremes of cold weather); mature senescent of prematurely aged skin.

Another effective facial treatment is a facial with Alginates and Myoxinol which are natural ingredients of marine and botanical extracts. Myoxinol acts topically and reduces facial muscle contractions resulting in diminished wrinkles.

Treatments that markedly can serve as maintanence skin care program include: Foto Facial Intense Pulse Light Treatments- these are painless and without any down time. They are useful for patients with sun damaged or aging skin.; they diminish wrinkles; get rid of uneven pigmentation or brown spots; smoothen and tighten the skin; stimulate collagen and elastin production.

Chemical peels utilize Glycolic, Salicylic, Lactic Acid or Retinoic Acid to remove dead skin tissue. There is very minimal discomfort and there may be some redness of the skin that lasts for a short time and mild to moderate peeling that occurs between days 3 and 5 that are easily controlled with an extra strength moisturizer. Treatments schedules at one to three month intervals will help to maintain beautiful soft, smooth skin.

Botox injections help to eliminate deep lines in between the eyebrows, forehead and crow’s feet around the eyes. The effect will last for three months; sometimes longer in some individuals.

Photodynamic therapy combines the use of Levulan activated by a light to treat marked sagging, aging, sun damaged skin and acne scars. The treatment is painless. There may be some redness and peeling after these treatments.

DNA skin repair utilizes actual DNA and/or skin fibroblasts applied topically. This method helps to repair damaged skin DNA. This process rejuvenates the skin resulting in a youthful appearance. Fine lines, pigmentation, rough skin, acne scars will diminish with this kind of therapy. This form of treatment gets the best results when it is combined with DNA testing and using the results to add oral pharmaneutraceuticals to modify gene and DNA expression.

Microdermabrasion helps to re-surface the skin and get rid of superficial dead layers. It is painless and there is no down time. It is best to have several professional microdermabrasion treatments done at the office followed by home microdermabrasion therapy.
