Before and After

The treatment of stretch marks and scars is a relatively fast and painless process. Up to very recently, stretch marks were pretty much untreatable no matter what method you tried.

The Carbonxytherapy Treatment is gaining in popularity and showing great promise by softening stretch marks by increasing the blood flow to the stretch mark areas and allowing them to constrict and contract, thus blending them better with the surrounding healthy skin. Carbonxytherapy causes the formation of new collagen and subsequently thickens the skin to improve the appearance of the stretch marks by rebuilding the collagen matrix. Injecting very small amounts of carbon dioxide gas just below the surface of the skin, the procedure tricks it (the skin) into increasing blood circulation in the treated area.

The same Carbonxytherapy treatment is also now being used for dark under eye circle smoothing and removal, and with good success.

Skin is made up of three layers; epidermis, dermis and the fat layer under the dermis. As our collagen and elastin reduce, the support it provides to our skin structure breaks down. We no longer produce new collagen and elastin like we did when we were younger, and this can lead to many types of skin changes, such as wrinkles, fine lines and loss of tone or firmness.

Today, there is much we all can do to limit the damage of sun exposure and to protect ourselves from premature ageing of our skin. Ultraceuticals is an Australian made and owned skincare line, and is the number one physician dispensed skincare system in Australia. The Ultraceutical products were designed to focus on providing solutions for aging, pigmentation and problem skin in general.

Ultraceuticals skin care products is packed full of high strength anti-oxidants, sun protection factors and collagen and elastin support and strengtheners that improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture and tone.

Looking good for the summertime is not just for women and it appears that many men agree with looking good and in shape. More and more men are having both surgical and non surgical face lift procedures, along with eyelid surgery, male breast reduction and Microdermabrasion. If the man in your life has been looking for ways to get rid of excess fat, remove fine lines and wrinkles or just enhance the texture and tone of his skin, have him consider talking to a local cosmetic skin professional as ask about the Thermage Procedures that have become so popular across the nation in recent years. Thermage is approved by the FDA and is non invasive and is fast so his treatments can be performed during lunch hours or at his convenience.

Thermage Procedures are used on men and women for facial wrinkles, eye bags, fine lines around the eyes, neck, to tighten skin on arms and legs. BOTOX injections also offers a solution for getting rid of fine lines and deep wrinkles and are worth considering. Its close to summer and now is the time to work on that body and get yourself in shape to show off at the beach.

Oxygenating the area of treatment allows for improved healing by nourishing the skin, building and remodeling collagen and elastin in the area which ultimately smooths out the skin and even cellulite. The process leaves the skin tighter and firmer, brighter and smoother. The treatment process weakens and destroys fat cells and results in fewer fat cells. Talk to a local cosmetic dermatologist for a specific consultation regarding your particular conditions or to answer any question you may have. Give Carboxytherapy a try, it really works !!

There are a wide variety of cosmetic dermatology treatments available today, for sun damage. Because sun damage involves damage to the skin’s natural collagen, collagen injections can be used to treat wrinkles and lines caused by to much exposure to the sun. Chemical peels and various abrasive procedures are another option for sun damage treatment.

There are also a variety of laser and light techniques available to treat sun-damaged skin.
