DID YOU KNOW? Moisturizers do not restore the barrier function of the skin? Long-term use of moisturizers may actually increase skin sensitivity and decrease tolerance.
restore Your SKIN to a Healthy State
D
espite the effects of aging, it is theoretically possible to keep the skin functioning properly throughout life so that it overcomes damage from the environment and stays in a healthy state. Although there may be a variety of procedures to help your skin appear healthy, in this article we are going to focus on how a restorative skin care regimen can nurture the skin back to a healthy state and appearance. This regimen is also recommended in preparation of other skin procedures to accelerate the results. Keep in mind the years of damage from sun, neglect, and aging are cumulative, therefore embarking on a restorative program will take commitment and patience. Restoring the skin barrier function is one of the main goals of the Skin Health Restoration program. Several types of cells are vital for maintaining the properties of the skin. In the Obagi Skin Conditioning and Skin Health Restoration programs, the focus is on regulating the function of 4 cell types —keratinocytes, melanocytes, fibroblasts, and angioblasts —especially when the goal is to slow down the aging process. The main objectives are to restore and condition the regulation of the functions of these 4 skin cell types: Keratinocytes to obtain a soft, compact stratum corneum and thicken the epidermis for barrier function. Melanocytes to obtain even and normal skin color. Fibroblasts for collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan production (firmness, tightness, and proper hydration). Angioblasts for improved skin circulation. Skin Conditioning: Improves skin quality, circulation, hydration and tolerance. Prepares skin for a skin rejuvenation procedure such as a chemical peel.
Skin Health Restoration: Improves skin quality, appearance, and tolerance, slows down signs of aging. Prevents or delays need for a procedure. Used daily customized to your skin health —can maintain healthy skin indefinitely.
To control and regulate the function of these cells, Obagi has developed the concepts of: 1) correction 2) stimulation, and 3) bleaching and blending. These lead to the clinical improvements of increased skin firmness and elasticity, a rosy skin glow, increased skin hydration, increased tolerance to external irritants, and shortened post-procedure recovery time if used before other cosmetic procedures. In a survey of people age 50 and over, it was recorded that virtually all had photodamage and 65% had significant skin disorders. Furthermore, individuals of all ages have shown little understanding of their skin problems by accepting blindly the many misleading claims of various cosmetic manufacturers. Consumers have been persuaded to believe, for example, that light fruit acid will significantly rejuvenate facial skin, that sun damage can be remedied by moisturizing make-up, and that “active” agents applied at the outer layer of the skin can influence and repair underlying dermal damage. Unlike the agents with questionable efficacy in many skin care programs, the agents recommended for use in the Obagi Skin Health Restoration and Skin Conditioning programs have been selected based on their solid scientific evidence and safety. If you are ready to restore and transform your skin to a healthy state, the Obagi System has been used by physicians and patients for years with remarkable and proven results. Please call us for a complimentary consultation.

emininity is all about curves and attitude. When you feel great about your body - you give out vibes of confidence and certainty even others notice.

Dr. Schilling offers a spectrum of solutions to help you feel more confident about your body.

So when he decided to integrate cosmetic surgery into his practice — it was a natural and rewarding transition to complement his care.

Aging is a fact of life —but who says you have to look your age? The notion of youth reaching it’s peak in the 20’s is now a bygone, women and men are looking better in their 30’s, 40’s and beyond. Part of this change is due to a younger attitude, the workforce competition, and just plain wanting to look our best. With the arsenal of treatments offered today, it makes it easier to resist the natural aging process with little or no downtime. Aging begins with lines and wrinkles and progresses over the years. You start losing volume, skin loosens and even changes shape. Prevention is key, but to reverse effects you must erase and plump the aging areas. For a virtually instant and easy non-surgical solution, injectables are the ultimate anti-aging answer. Fillers plump up fine lines and wrinkles on the spot with immediate improvement that can last up to a year. Botox can prevent the muscle contractions that cause furrows and lines. In combination, it can take years off your appearance. Come in for a complimentary consultation with our experienced and trained injectors. Keep them guessing —we won’t tell!

FEMALEBLUNDERS
t seems women get the lousy end of the deal when it comes to the effects and changes of your body due to age, pregnancy, hormonal changes and just plain gravity alone. It certainly doesn’t seem fair but you should not let it get you down since there are many treatment options to lessen or sometimes completely relieve the problem itself. Some of the most common complaints are heavy bleeding, unexpected leaks, and weakened pelvic muscles which can cause the uterus to literally “drop south”! These issues can be embarrassing to discuss but it is far more common than you might think, and most times can be solved with a minimally-invasive procedure.
