Effective Problem Skin Care for Long-Lasting Relief from Acne, Rosacea, Sun Damage, Sensitive and Combination Skin

Dry, oily, acne-prone, rosacea, sensitive skin and combination skin types are common facial problem skin care conditions. Each of these problem skin types have unique requirements for cleansing, exfoliating, extracting, hydrating and nourishing that are needed to restore and maintain a smooth, soft, clear, balanced and firm complexion.

Skin rejuvenation is an important component of anti aging skin care. 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 harm your skin over time, leading to more free radical damage and premature aging of the 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.

The result of aging skin is a variety of rejuvenation problems ranging from Rosacea, flushing, redness, ruddy complexion, broken capillaries, spider veins of the face and other “Pink” vascular-based conditions, sun spots, age spots, multiple freckles and other “Brown” conditions, sun damage and other aging signs.

Skin rejuvenation provides color correction for reducing or eliminating imperfections on the skin such as brown spots, red blotches and rough texture.

Besides its anti aging skin care benefits, skin rejuvenation is also important for the treatment of acne scarring. The eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation treatment is particularly effective for anti aging and acne scarring by producing  a smooth, even skin tone and texture.

Rosacea is a problem skin disorder affecting over 14 million Americans. Signs of a rosacea include facial redness in the areas of the cheeks, nose, forehead and/or chin. Pustules and papules that are may be confused with an acne breakout, may also be present. Rosacea occurs more often in fair skinned individuals and women. In fact, women are three times more likely to have rosacea than men. The initial rosacea outbreak is often around the age of 30. Rosacea generally has periods of remission and exacerbation of symptoms. Although rosacea has no known cure, appropriate rosacea treatment can effectively manage the symptoms.

It is not uncommon for people suffering from the rosacea skin disorder to have associated psychological, social and occupational problems. Feelings of self consciousness about their appearance results in a tendency to avoid public places and withdraw socially. The negative consequences for social and professional relationships can be significant. Unfortunately, over 78% of Americans with rosacea do not know what it is, what can be done to treat it and most do not seek treatment.

Acne is an outbreak on the skin which is due to the blockage and subsequent infection of the skin’s pores or follicles. It may also affect the sebaceous glands from over-production of oil. Acne can be non-inflammatory, inflammatory or a combination of both. Non-inflammatory acne consists of whiteheads and blackheads whereas papules, pustules, nodules and cysts are all characteristics of inflammatory acne. Acne is most common on the face, neck and back but can be present on the upper extremities. Acne is estimated to affect 75% of all teenagers and young adults. Although not as common, acne can also affect adults in their 30s and 40s.

Many people with rosacea erroneously believe they have acne. Use of inappropriate skin care products and cosmetics to conceal the redness and other symptoms can actually make the condition worse. Use of acne treatment products for rosacea problem skin greatly reduces treatment effectiveness. These products can actually cause more harm than good.

At JVAI, we use a FOUR STEP APPROACH to acne treatment. This allows us to get the best results for active acne, prevention of acne outbreaks and treatment for acne scarring.

• Step One is a VISIA Complexion Analysis. This computerized face analysis through VISIA technology can accurately detect and measure blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts in surface and deeper layers of skin.
• Step Two is Hydra Dermabrasion Skin Resurfacing. This cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, hydrates and nourishes your facial complexion to optimize the health of your skin.
• Step Three is an Obagi skin care daily regimen. The Obagi CLENZIderm Acne Treatment System is specially formulated for acne treatment. CLENZIderm has been proven in clinical trials to outperform all other benzoyl peroxide products and to provide an effective treatment for acne in as little as two weeks.
• Step Four is Advanced Treatments that may include the revolutionary eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation, elōs™ eMax combination radio-frequency and laser acne treatments. Another option may be an Obagi Blue Peel® to accelerate skin resurfacing results.

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 eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation treatment is particularly effective for anti aging by producing  a smooth, even skin tone and texture. 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.
