Anti Aging Skin Care Treatments Can Renew Your Zest for Life as they Roll Back the Effects of Sun Damage, Gravity, Diminished Collagen and More

Collagen, a protein connective tissue, gives strength to the skin by providing structure and firmness. Elastin is the substance that keeps skin soft, supple, toned and flexible. With aging, collagen and elastin production diminish, causing the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, loss of tone and sagging skin. The natural skin erosion process, where dead skin is replaced with new healthy skin, becomes unstable with aging. This produces dry and rough skin that also contributes to wrinkles.

A variety of treatments including Obagi skin care products; dermal fillers; and specialized laser wrinkle, skin tightening and rejuvenation treatments can effectively restore a soft, smooth, firm, young looking skin as they stimulate the body’s own production of collagen.

Sun damaged skin is a type of skin aging. Signs of sun damage include brown or red spots, freckles, UV spots and rough or irregular skin texture. Sun damage also produces dry and rough skin with associated fine lines and wrinkles.

Anti aging skin treatments for sun damage may include skin rejuvenation to eliminate color imperfections and create a smooth, even skin tone and texture. When skin sagging, fine lines and wrinkles are present, skin tightening and anti wrinkle treatments including facial renewal are very effective. Collagen stimulating treatments through elos laser technology and dermal fillers provide rapid and effective anti aging skin care results.

The revolutionary eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation treatment is particularly effective for correcting and smoothing irregular skin tone and texture due to sun damage. This revolutionary skin resurfacing treatment with minimal downtime lasts up to three years and requires only three 15-minute treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

Skin rejuvenation provides color correction for reducing or eliminating imperfections on the skin such as brown spots, red blotches and rough texture. The goal of skin rejuvenation is to create a smooth, even skin tone and texture.

Skin rejuvenation is an important component of anti aging skin care. The natural skin erosion process, where dead skin is replaced with new healthy skin, becomes unstable with aging. This produces dry and rough skin that also contributes to wrinkles.

The revolutionary eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation treatment is particularly effective for correcting and smoothing irregular skin tone and texture due to free radical damage from sun exposure, toxins and general aging. This affordable skin resurfacing treatment with minimal downtime lasts up to three years and requires only three 15-minute treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. This non-laser, non light based skin resurfacing uses bipolar radio frequency (RF) technology. Proven in clinical trials, Sublative Rejuvenation provides deep dermal heating through RF energy in the region of the electrode matrix to effectively reduce wrinkles, scars, acne scarring, irregular skin tone and texture, and superficial skin lesions.

Through the aging process, our smooth, soft, vibrant and tight youthful appearance evolves into fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation spots, sun spots, enlarged pores and a rough and dry skin texture. Causes include loss of collagen and elastin in combination with exposure to damaging free radials from the sun and environmental toxins. Many skin care and cosmetic products, not carefully regulated by the FDA, include ingredients that can actually harm your skin over time, leading to more free radical damage and premature aging of the skin.

Medical grade skin care products with ingredients that safely and effectively restore skin health at the cellular level, are your safest and most effective choice for anti aging skin care. Besides being FDA approved, Obagi Nu-Derm, Obagi C Rx System and Obagi ELASTIderm Eye Cream/Gel, available only by prescription, are specially formulated and proven to penetrate deep layers of the skin, enhancing natural hydration, circulation and repair of damaged skin at the cellular level.

An advanced (Step Four) technology for anti aging skin care treatment, elōs combination Radio Frequency (RF) current and light energies (laser) delivered by the Matrix system for skin tightening and wrinkles, and the eMax system for skin rejuvenation, offer a particularly good choice for anti aging skin problems. These FDA approved technologies provide the safest, most effective non-ablative medical laser treatments available for wrinkles, sagging skin, sun damage, uneven skin tone and rough skin texture.

The intersection of RF current and light energies in the Matrix Heating focuses rejuvenating energy at a depth of 1.5 to 2.0 mm. This is the exact area where collagen stimulation occurs. The enhanced collagen that is produced firms lax skin as it reduces superficial and deep wrinkles.

The revolutionary eMax system combines low, safe radio frequency and light energy in the same pulse to create a smooth, even skin tone and texture on your face, neck, hands and other areas on your body. This powerful skin laser rejuvenation treatment balances uneven skin tone, corrects hyperpigmentation problems, smooths irregular skin texture, and reduces red blotches and acne scars and blemishes.

• Most people see a gradual and continual improvement over the course of their treatments. You will notice a steady improvement with each treatment.
• Treatments with elōs technology are very safe, documented by clinical research. Similar applications using electricity and lights have been used in medical, surgical and aesthetic treatments for decades without any adverse effects.
• Most patients find the treatments gentle and not unpleasant. The Matrix IR treatment head has a built-in cooling treatment tip that helps to insure your comfort. We provide topical anesthetic cream and external cooling to increase your comfort level if needed.

We use the Matrix Heating system, a laser treatment powered by elōs to treat fine lines in addition to superficial and deep wrinkles. We effectively reduce and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles on the surface and penetrate deep into the skin to treat more prominent wrinkles. Through elōs, the intersection of RF current and light energies (the Matrix) creates a focused energy at a precise depth for stimulating collagen production and rejuvenating the skin. This enhanced collagen production produces a firming effect in lax skin.

Yes – in fact it is very common to provide a combination of treatments that are designed to best meet each patient’s individual skin care goals. Your unique and most effective treatment plan is mutually determined and presented during your initial complimentary skin consultation and free computerized VISIA complexion analysis.

Laser wrinkle reduction is one of the three treatments included in facial renewal. In addition to reducing fine lines and wrinkles, facial renewal targets color correction (skin rejuvenation) and skin tightening for the face and neck. When wrinkle reduction is the focus of treatment, the overall treatment period is longer.
