There's much you can do to protect yourself and to help keep your
family's skin healthy. In fact, one of the most effective means may be
the simplest: protect yourself against the sun.
The sun remains a major cause of premature skin aging such as dry skin,
wrinkles and age spots. No matter what your age, it's important to
protect yourself against the sun. A few sun safe habits to make your
own and to instill in your family are:
Do not sunbathe.
Avoid
peak hours if possible. The sun's damaging rays (called ultraviolet or
"UV" rays) are the strongest between 10 AM and 4 PM. the peak hours for
harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Remain inside or seek out the
shade.
Apply sunscreen. Choose a sunscreen
with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15, and follow
directions carefully paying attention to expiration dates. UV rays can
pass through clouds and reflect off of cement and even snow. So be sure
to wear sunscreen every day. Apply liberally and remember to apply to
the areas that you tend to miss such as your ears, hands and feet
Stay away from tanning beds.
Instill
good sun protection habits in your children at an early age. The damage
that leads to adult skin cancer can start in childhood.
Wear
protective clothing. Wear wide-brimmed hats, UV-blocking sunglasses and
dark, tightly-woven fabric to reduce exposure to the sun's harmful
rays. Clothing specially designed to filter out sun should be
considered an option if you simply cannot avoid exposure.
How It Works
Step 1 : Renew™
FotoFacial RF
The SR or SRA applicators target both vascular
and pigmented lesions for skin rejuvenation.
|
Step 2 : Refirme™
Refirme Skin Tightening
The Refirme applicator stimulates long term collagen
synthesis as well as the tightening of existing
collagen fibers, giving an immediate firmed
appearance.
|
Step 3 : Matrix IR™
Matrix IR Focused Remodeling
The Matrix IR fractional applicator delivers more
focused energy to target zones, promoting fast
collagen renewal and remodeling for a smoother
appearance.
|
Effect: Removal of telangiectasia,
rosacea, poikiloderma and sunspots for more even
skin tone.
|
Effect: Initially, there is an immediate
contraction of existing collagen fibers, but with
time, the laxity of the brow, jowls, neck and cheek
areas will continue to improve due to the delayed
collagen remodeling response.
|
Effect: Heat conducted to collagen fibers
stimulates a short-term reaction of collagen
contracture, followed by a long term process of new
collagen remodeling, a process which is facilitated
by the undamaged tissue. The Matrix IR treatment
results in improved appearance of facial and neck
wrinkle and rhytids.
