Wrinkle Erasers

By Anonymous

Singapore September 12, 2004 -- Even though aging is inevitable, we can make the decision to either have our skin age slowly and gracefully, or have skin looking like an old leather armchair by the time we're forty.

Sun damage is the main culprit for aging that show up on our face, and can be visible as early as our late twenties! Another big factor in the aging force is smoking, whether you smoke or are around second hand smoke.

One solution to prevent aging is to throw away that cigarette, stay out of the sun, and slather on generous helpings of that sunblock daily. The other is to indulge your skin in the latest skin rejuvenation techniques that will shed years off your face without going under the scalpel.

The newest trend in laser skin therapy today is Non-Ablative Laser Collagen Replacement, accomplishing the same long-term result in restoration and increased collagen production in the dermis, but without the downtime, the redness and other side effects of the older, more invasive laser procedures. Aesthetic physician, Dr. Low Chai Ling, is one of the first few doctors in Singapore to use the Aramis Laser for replacing collagen in aging faces.

“Aramis laser is excellent for my patients who want to plump up their faces, and lessen their lines without surgery, needles and most of all, without downtime. It is an easy, quick and gentle way to look younger. Most of my patients have really caught on to the idea of (Non-Ablative Laser) Collagen Replacement.”

“A series of cool, gentle pulses over the entire face and the treatment is over in less than half an hour. I usually finish it off with some deep vitamin therapy to improve the end results. The patient leaves with no redness or peeling, and usually begins to see results after a series of about 6 sessions, some even sooner.”

In the Journal of Dermatologic Surgery: Profilometric Evaluation of a 1540 nm Er:Glass Laser.,Dermatologic Surgery 27 (9), 799-806, the Aramis laser was reviewed for efficacy in the treatment of wrinkles. In this study 60 patients were treated four times with the Aramis laser. Digital Photographs, Ultrasound Imaging, Silicone Imprints of the Wrinkles and Skin Biopsy studies were performed. All subjects showed marked improvement in wrinkles by all techniques studied with no downtime or pain, redness, swelling, burning, skin irritation, photosensitivity or any adverse effect to the procedure. Quite an excellent result for something so simple and elegant to perform!

For those who want even greater results, Dr. Low says that the Aramis laser’s effect of skin remodeling can be significantly augmented by following a prescribed schedule of procedures and skin care therapies.

“In our practice we have developed a "Scalpel-less" face-lift protocol for wrinkle reduction without pain, redness and healing time. We combine the latest Aramis Laser rejuvenation with a series of microdermabrasion for the added skin smoothing effect, pumpkin face peels for the amazing Vitamin C delivery and sometimes a few sessions of IPL to clear out any uneven skin tone in an instant. The patient looks dramatically younger and fresher when she walks out of the door after our program is completed.”

“Even younger patients who look tired or dull have jumped onto this new “Scalpel-less” face lift program to look even better. I guess the young ladies nowadays do not want to wait until they are old and wrinkled before doing something for themselves.”

Too good to be true? There’s more. The Aramis Laser is also touted to improve acne and acne scarring. The Aramis laser produces a sub-coagulative thermal injury leading to a temporary alteration in the size and function of the overactive sebaceous gland. This thermal effect kills bacteria and reduces sebum (oil) production, paving the way for clearer skin. The added collagen remodeling effect is also beneficial for acne scarring. Patients who have had to live with their acne scars can now look to the Aramis laser for some reprieve.

The price tag for beauty? Aramis laser starts at about US$350 per session. For those who may balk at paying such a price for beauty, there are still creams and potions you can slather on your face. Dr. Low recommends Skin Inc’s Skin Rejuvenation Serum. This fountain of youth serum is supposedly pure magic. Sodium silicate adheres to the skin, helping to shrink lines and pores into perfection. Fine lines and wrinkles instantly disappear before your eyes. The other sought after product is Physician’s Choice Exlinea Peptide Smoothing Serum. It apparently contains hyaluronic acid for a firmer, plumper complexion. What’s the catch? These products do not work as well without the treatments, and as they are prescription only products, a consultation with the doctor is necessary.

But it’s still worth a try for those of us who just want a small sip from that fountain of youth!

THE DERMATOLOGY & LASER CENTER PRESENTS -- “Skin Tips To Warm Up To”

By Anonymous

Long Branch, NJ September 15, 2003 -- When the temperatures outside drop, your skin becomes a target of winter assault. Low humidity, coupled with heavier clothing and longer and warmer showers can leave your skin feeling dry, itchy and irritated. Your skin is constantly losing moisture into the air. Each time you wash your face and body, you strip away its natural oils, allowing your skins moisture to evaporate.

"Your skin is stripped of moisture during the cold winter months, which is why it’s so important to seal moisture into the skin to prevent dryness and cracking," says dermatologist Benjamin Cohen, M.D., owner of Dermatology & Laser Center, Long Branch, NJ. "This is the perfect time of year to adjust your skin care regimen. Most people start slathering on lotion with hope for the best. There are more effective ways to combat winter skin. Below I have listed five simple tactics to combat winter skin.”

1) Protect your skin from sun damage. Since you're usually bundled up when outside in the wintertime, you don't need to slather sunscreen all over yourself, but try to wear a makeup or moisturizer with SPF 15 on your face throughout the winter. Be aware that the suns Ultra Violet rays reflect off of the snow.

2) Boost your skin’s moisture. While you can protect the rest of your body with clothing, your face is constantly exposed to the harsh winter climate. Try switching your daily moisturizer to a richer formula, packed with extra nutrients to nourish, hydrate and restore moisture to the skin. Increase your water consumption from a minimum of eight glasses to a minimum of twelve glasses per day and consider purchasing a humidifier to keep the moisture in your home higher during the winter months.

3) Cleanse your skin with gentle cleansers. Preserve the natural oils in your skin with a mild, non-drying cleanser that deeply cleans your pores, it lifts out impurities and rinses away excess oils without stripping your skin. Check for formulas with botanical extracts, to leave skin refreshed and revitalized.

4) Buff, polish and firm. Stick to lukewarm showers and avoid harsh exfoliants to get rid of that flaky skin-they can strip your skin's natural oils. Gently exfoliate your arms, legs, chest, and back with a body polisher or loofah sponge to rid yourself of dull, dead skin cells; follow with a moisturizer to nourish, firm, hydrate and protect skin.

5) Lip service. The skin on your lips is more delicate than the rest of your body. To keep lips moisturized, smooth and protected, apply a lip moisturizer each night before going to bed, or each morning under your SPF-fortified lipstick.

The Dermatology and Laser Center is located at 279 Third Avenue, Suite 603, Long Branch, NJ. They can be reached at 732-222-8323 or visit their website at www.dlccohenmd.com

Rejuvenation and the Protein Revolution in Your Kitchen©2003 Marilyn Diamond

If you’re like me, you want to see some serious rejuvenation when you look in the mirror. But you’re not interested in Botox, chemical peels, micro-dermabrasion, lypo-suction, jaw and cheek implants and all the other pricey, temporary, somewhat invasive “solutions.”

If you’re like me, I’m sure you spend at least a few minutes everyday making sure you’re getting your protein. Who isn’t focused on protein these days?

There’s a protein revolution going on. It’s happening in the chic restaurants in Santa Monica, California, where diet revolutions take birth. Hollywood stars with the prettiest skin and most slender, taut-muscled bodies are into it. Celebrity chefs are racing to master it. And web commerce businesses that push it are thriving.

It’s the rage in Boston, the buzz in Miami, and it’s spreading like wildfire from San Diego to Wichita to Philadelphia, PA.

You may as well jump on the bandwagon. It’s going to overtake everything else in the diet world in the months and years to come. Why wait?

Why not be the first in your group to look like you just came from one of those $25,000 health spa experiences that took twenty-five pounds and twenty-five years off your life?

If you’re worn out from the struggle to lose those annoying bulges, this is your kind of revolution. If you want to go to the jean size you wore when you know you looked your best, now’s the time.

All you have to do is eat sprouts for protein.

Sprouts for protein? Who ever heard of that?

It’s not a fad, really. Before we had fire, we knew the value of sprouting grains, legumes and seeds. We knew instinctively that Nature had created them as potent nutritional bundles of health and energy. Without science at our disposal to tell us what we needed, we automatically germinated and sprouted these concentrated natural sources of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids. We built our bodies on them.

Hung up on protein?

Amino acids are proteins in their most digestible form. Pound for pound, lentils and other sprouted beans give you as much protein as red meat, chicken or fish, with none of the fat, cholesterol, hormones, anti-biotics, and dangerous rendered feed residues found in animal proteins today.

Not to mention the cost.

The lentils and other beans you sprout in your kitchen cost just pennies per pound. Think about this next time you pull $10.00 out your wallet for a small package of skinless, boneless chicken breasts or fish fillets.

Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to rejuvenate?

Just this month, try something different. Grow fresh protein in your kitchen.

Simply purchase a pound of red or green lentils or mung beans. You’ll find them in packages in your supermarket or in bulk in your favorite natural food store.

Measure out about a cup and soak them overnight in a covered container. Drain them in your colander and rinse them well to be sure you washed off all the natural inhibitors that keep them from sprouting until you need them to sprout. Now leave them right in the colander, on your kitchen counter, spreading them out a little so they don’t clump together.

And watch what happens.

In only a few hours to just about a day, lentils and mung beans will start to grow little tails. As they begin to sprout, rinse them occasionally, and you’ll see a miniature, kitchen garden of tiny, power-packed, living plants. When the tails are just barely visible, place the sprouts in an airtight container and store them in your fridge. They’ll continue to sprout more slowly.

If rejuvenating weight loss is your goal, this is the clean, fat-free, practically instantly-absorbed protein you want for a beautiful body.

Now once, or twice a day, if you’re motivated, add your sprouts to your salad. I say twice a day, because, like me, you may love this revolutionary high-protein, power-packed meal so much, you’ll occasionally want it that often.

Not only for the slenderizing protein, but also for the abundance of vitamins and minerals, in readily available, economical form.

Here’s how I make one of my REVOLUTIONARY HIGH PROTEIN SALADS:

I mix my dressing directly into a large salad bowl, using twice as much fine quality olive oil as lemon juice, and adding some coarse Celtic sea salt, whisking this mixture into a creamy slenderizing dressing.

Now I add plenty of ripe, sliced tomatoes and some chopped basil, mint and thyme. The tomatoes and herbs macerate while I prepare the rest of the salad. I finely chop my favorite greens – baby spinach, mesclun, baby lettuces, romaine, butter or Boston lettuce, so they absorb lots of the dressing. I thin-slice unpeeled cucumbers and radishes. They add the silicon and sulfur I need for healthy hair, skin and nails. Sometimes, I toss in lots of oil cured olives, high in protein and fatty acids, and low in salt.

Time to add the sprouts from my kitchen harvest, about ½ to one cup per person.

Time to toss and toss to insure my REVOLUTIONARY HIGH PROTEIN SALAD is really well blended and combined. It should be like a live chop suey. I serve an ample portion, and eat it slowly, chewing well to appreciate the textures and flavors of living protein for my living body.

Are you sick and tired of how the years take their toll on your health? Are you bored and frustrated with all the confusing and contradictory diet fads and trends? Would you enjoy having so much energy you practically never run out? How about having the confidence to know each time you sit down to the dinner table that you’re preventing, rather than causing disease?

You can watch the pounds and decades literally melt from your body.

You can take a vacation from high fat and high cholesterol foods for protein, and avoid the dangerous microbes these contaminated food sources carry.

You can do it.

Thousands of people are already experiencing these results and benefits. The revolution is happening all around you.

Why wait to be a part of this positive, growing trend?
