THE SKINNY  
 
  SHORT TAKES ON SKIN CARE
from the Fall 2008 issue

Here are the latest advances in procedures and products:

Fighting Cellulite – Designed to improve the appearance of cellulite, Thermage has introduced the new ThermaTip CL. This treatment is ideal for patients who have tried diet and exercise or even other cellulite treatments without success. This single radio-frequency energy treatment gently heats the skin, restoring collagen connective tissues and improving circulation. It smoothes dimples and improves skin texture. Results vary from subtle to dramatic. Improvements can be visible immediately and will continue to improve for up to six months. Results can be long-lasting and depend on your skin condition and the aging process.

Because of our volume and faster treatment times, we offer this new cellulite procedure at a great price. In fact, we recently reduced all our Thermage prices thanks to a new tip purchase plan.

REVALÉSKIN™ Kit – A simple three-step anti-aging skin-care system – facial cleanser, day cream with SPF 15 and night cream – contains the potent natural antioxidant CoffeeBerry®. CoffeeBerry is rich in polyphenol antioxidants, which naturally prevent and rejuvenate damage to the skin caused by free-radical exposure and oxidative stress. This kit is designed to decrease the appearance of wrinkles and redness while enhancing overall skin texture and helping the skin retain moisture. For more on antioxidants, see the article on page six.

Clarisonic® Skin-Care System – Sonic technology has now come to skin cleansing. The Clarisonic brush gently removes makeup and thoroughly cleanses your skin. Recent clinical studies have also shown that the Clarisonic brush can improve both absorption of topical skin-care products and the appearance of photo-aging compared to manual cleansing.

Remergent™ – We carry two products from this skin rejuvenating line, which we particularly recommend for mature skin. The DNA Repair Formula serum speeds recovery reaction from UV-induced skin damage. We especially recommend it for people who have had skin cancers or actinic keratoses (precursors to skin cancer). It also encourages your skin’s DNA repair mechanism to self-correct and reduce the signs of collagen degradation. The Microcirculation Eye Therapy, a stimulating eye cream, bolsters localized nutrient flow to reduce the signs of under-eye circles and speeds your skin’s natural repair of collagen.

SkinMedica® TNS Night Eye Repair – This ultimate eye treatment cream is formulated with NouriCel-MD®, peptides, high concentrations of vitamin A, C and E and hyaluronic acid to improve the appearance of the delicate skin around the eyes. It increases firmness and elasticity and reduces the appearance of dark circles.

SkinMedica® TNS Line Refine™ – This innovative new product generates rapid filling and smoothing action to visually reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, eyes and crow’s feet, while providing long-term anti-aging benefits.
