FAKING OUT MOTHER NATURE

I have a steady stream of patients that come to my practice looking to do something to enhance their skin. Many suffer from sun damage. These patients, usually in their 30's, 40's and 50's have varying degrees of damage to their skin. Mostly, this is sun damage and unfortunately, this damage was done in their childhood and it's permanent.

Hindsight is 20/20. You might say to yourself, "If I only knew then, what I know now, I would do everything differently." In recent years, there's been much learned about skin care and the effects of the environment on our skin. I hope that we've all learned something from this and we've passed this knowledge onto our children.

There's a multitude of skin care products in the market place. The key is finding the product that will be the most effective in addressing the issues that you have with your skin. Many over-the-counter products found in the higher end departments store or even drug stores, are not strong enough to make any change in the damage that you have on your skin.

Skin care products prescribed by your board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist are entirely different animals. Doctors can only prescribe these products because they contain very strong ingredients that must be issued under a doctor's direct care and guidance. These products work at the cellular level, penetrating the dermis of your skin. This helps to correct surface discoloration, blemishes, and stimulate cell renewal to bring back the glow and softness of healthy, younger-looking skin. By stimulating skin cell renewal, improving circulation and rebuilding collagen, you will be able to:

· Diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
· Increase smoothness
· Reduce pore size
· Improve elasticity
· Generate a balanced, even skin tone
· Normalize oil production
· Correct blemishes
· Reduce age spots and other hyper pigmentation
· Increase the skin's own ability to hold moisture
· Increase the skin's tolerance to external factors

Once you are on the road to having healthier skin, other skin care procedures will have even a more therapeutic effect on your skin. Because your skin in now healthier, your skin will heal better when having other skin care programs such as Microdermabrasion, Chemical Peels, Laser Resurfacing and Dermabrasion.

When having skin care procedures such as a Face Lift, Brow Lift (Forehead Lift) or Eyelid surgery, the overall effect on your face will be even more dramatic. These procedures are expensive and should be considered an investment in yourself. It doesn't make much sense to have an expensive procedure and not take the time to prepare your skin for the procedure or take care of your skin after the procedure in order to optimize the results. Simply put, it would be like buying a new car and never take the time to get the oil changed.
