Peel Away the Mysteries of Chemical Peels.

Peel Away the Mysteries of Acids.

By: Rhonda Allison

Beautiful skin doesn’t have to be expensive, and going under the knife is not the only way to capture that youthful appearance. As a matter of fact, skin peels provide an effective, less expensive and less invasive alternative.

Peels, when properly administered, are some of the most powerful nonsurgical skin improvements available. They remove cellular buildup, stimulate skin regeneration and reduce wrinkles, fine lines, large pores and oiliness. They also help clear blemishes, treat hyperpigmentation, and improve overall texture and tone.chemical peels

Acid peeling is more than just a science; it’s an art form. As such, learning an art evolves with understanding and experience. The journey, however, along with the results skin peels produce, tends to spark passion and enthusiasm in skin care professionals as they get deeper into the art of skin peeling.

The myths

Apprehension often surrounds peels, much of which stems from the many myths and misconceptions surrounding the process. Skin care professionals who render peels, or are planning to, should have an understanding of some of these misconceptions to be better equipped to talk with clients about them.
One common misunderstanding is that one treatment is all that’s needed. The truth is that

Fighting Free Radical aging with Avora Skin Spa

Free radicals and oxidative stress are the culprits behind many threats to our bodies. They are considered one of the main causes of aging and many diseases, such as atherosclerosis. Fortunately, we know how to combat them.
Free Radicals are molecules, atoms, or ions that contain a single electron on their outermost orbit. These free radicals are highly active in their quest for an electron to pair up with, and oxidise every compound they come in contact with, causing what is known as oxidative stress. Free radicals attack genetic material, lipids of cell walls, and polysaccharides – the building blocks of every cell in our bodies. Even worse, the reaction started by a free radical, sets off a domino effect, leading to serious imbalances in bodily functions. A cell with a damaged membrane is no longer capable of serving its metabolic functions, while damaged genetic codes lead to the formation of tumors. Free radicals are ubiquitous. They are formed as a result of ultraviolet radiation, certain drugs, and unhealthy trans-fatty acids in our diets. They are found in polluted air and cigarette smoke. Unfortunately, free radicals are even formed inside our own bodies as by-products of metabolic functions, such as breathing.

A natural defense – antioxidants.

Luckily, our bodies have developed defense mechanisms against destructive free radicals. Antioxidants are compounds that neutralize these molecules. Two examples that everyone knows are vitamin C and E, an effective duo in the fight against free radicals. Other effective antioxidants include rosemary acid, ferulic acid, and coenzyme Q10.
But antioxidants are not only hope against free radicals. Another protective system depends on compounds that act as enzymes, preventing the formation of the harmful molecules or rendering them inert.

Human skin is the largest body organ and undergoing many changes. Therefore, proper skin care is impossible without knowledge of its physiology and function. The skin protects us from harmful substances present in the environment, blocking access to the interior of the body microorganisms.

It is also the main enclosure to prevent escape of water from the body.Dermageniq

Thermoregulatory functions. Under the influence of sunlight on the skin followed by the production of vitamin D, necessary, inter alia, for proper bone growth.

In the structure of the skin can be divided into three main layers. Deepest subcutaneous tissue, connective tissue composed of the right. The next layer is the dermis, most often represented by the fibroblasts responsible for supporting protein synthesis, such as collagen and elastin. These two proteins build an extracellular matrix or network elasticity and holding the skin. The outer part of the skin is the epidermis.
Aging is inevitable and the body’s natural process consisting, inter alia, the reduction of the biological activity of the body, slowing down the processes of regeneration and reducing resistance and response to environmental stress. The skin, due to direct exposure to harmful external environmental factors, aging is usually faster than the other organs of the human body, and the signs of aging are more visible. The aging process of the skin is the result of two mechanisms: intra- and extrinsic. This first type of aging, genetic or otherwise called chronological, it is a natural process dependent on the biological clock. In contrast, extrinsic aging (photoaging, aging caused by sun) is a process caused by external factors, especially sunlight.

New Generation RF Skin Tightening

IMPERIUM RF SKIN TIGHTENING from Italy.

Tighten, tone, lift and firm your skin without surgery available in Coquitlam! Imperium device uses bipolar or tri-polar radio frequency, sonophoresis for highly efficient, comfortable and completely safe  RF skin tightening treatments. Radiofrequency waves emit a pleasant form of heat to stimulate the skin deep down and accelerate the production of collagen and elastin.Skin Tightening RF

Imperium uses radiofrequency to generate endogenous heat, which is uniform and intense, with different depths to produce the immediate contraction of collagen (lifting effect), followed by the remodeling and formation of new collagen. The skin is tighter and more oxygenated, also highlighting an evident reduction in wrinkles, eyebrow raising and the sensitive reduction of skin laxity. Hyaluronic Gel provides additional deep hydration. Only very few skin tightening treatments with Imperium, carried out periodically, can ensure stable and durable results in a long term, even up to two years.

RF-technology is based on the action of high-frequency electric field with the purpose to adequate warm up derma. The appearance of thermal effect activates, strengthens the synthesis of collagen and elastic fibers, which ensures the steadfast effect of skin rejuvenation. It improves the elasticity and reduces the length and depth of wrinkles. In contrast to other thermal procedures ( IPL, Laser) the epidermis and muscular tisse do not get hot. RF-skin tightening & lifting has immediate effect caused due to moderate dermal edema and controls thermo-reduction. The collagen fibers of the skin thus, stimulate compensating mechanisms including the proliferation of fibroblasts, an increase of the local blood supply (vasodilatation and hyperemia) and the accelerated production of neocollagen. RF-lifting gives good results by correcting the face, area around the eyes, neck. The skin tightening procedure is effective for the area of décolleté, hands, stomach, thighs (treatmentof stretch marks). It also reduces the effect of the “skin that hangs”, the flabbiness of skin. Most of all radio-frequency procedures are recommended to patients against the elasticity seen with loss and hardness of facial outline and neck. Skin tightening burnaby

Advantages of RF-skin tightening first of all are:

non-invasive;

non- traumatic;

absence of anesthesia;

absence of complications and side effect;

complete compatibility with other procedures;

retention effect up to 2 years.

The procedure is performed once in 10-15 days so limits your time.
