Skin: Aesthetician

Skin aging, wrinkles are caused by day-to-day damage from sun, wind, acne and chemicals in products that we use. There are hundreds of products and treatments advertised for skin rejuvenation. Everyone had tried one or more of those products and treatments without experiencing visible results. A piecemeal approach to skin rejuvenation will not be very effective.
In our Jacksonville Cosmetic Surgery Center, we formulated a comprehensive skin care program.

Our patients in Jacksonville and Jacksonville Beach that followed this program for 6 months have seen a significant improvement in their skin, resulting in a young healthy glowing looking skin.

The Comprehensive Skin Care Program consist of :

Botox® Injection

If you want to keep looking young as long as you can, we highly recommend the Botox® injection. The Botox injection around the eyes, crow lines and forehead will prevent the wrinkles on the injected areas. The superficial wrinkles will disappear in three to four days of the injection.

The skin around the eyes is stressed frequently by squinting the eyes. It is usually the first place were the sign of aging appears. Since skin around the eyes has no sebaceous glands, it is highly prone to dryness. Thus application of an effective eye cream is a must. Biomedic Vitamin C eye cream proved to result an outstanding result for our patients in Jacksonville and Jacksonville Beach. We recommend other products for dark circles and puffiness. For more information, please call Jacksonville Cosmetic Surgery Center at 904-399 5061 and ask for our aesthetician Deanna.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabraison consist of a process of using a controlled flow of micro crystals to remove the outermost layers of the skin . This will initiate the healing process, which in turn stimulates " reproduction of new skin cells, leading to younger and smoother looking skin. (please refer to microdermabrasion page).

Alpha Hydoxy Acid Peel

Another anti aging skin treatment which is proven to be highly effective in reversing some signs of skin aging is the use of high strength Alpha Hydroxy Acids Peels. The application of high percentage of Glycolic acid peels will improves mild skin aging due to the sun damage or photo aging. The study shows an increase in the skin thickness, collagen production and skin elasticity.

Retinol

Trans-retinoic acid, the essential ingredient in Retin A, is one of the most effective skin care product. It reduces fine wrinkles, skin roughness, acne and age spots. The downside with Retinol is that its misuse or overuse, causes skin dryness and irritation. Many studies
Had proven the effective result of Retinol in reducing superficial wrinkles.

Vitamin C, L-ascorbic acid

One of the topical agents that is proven to be effective on wrinkles and skin rejuvenation is Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid. It increases the synthesis of collagen. In addition Vitamin C is an anti oxidant and therefore help reduce skin damage.

Any form of Vitamin C other than a dry form is very unstable. When exposed to air it is easily converted to oxidized form and becomes ineffective. In most poorly prepared or stored products it may be already oxidized. Thus you have to be careful in your choice of Vitamin C cream.
The concentration of L-Ascorbic acid is an important factor in determining whether or not the product is effective. Not all the vitamin C cream on the market contains the right amount of concentration of L-ascorbic acid. In our Jacksonville Cosmetic Surgery Center, we recommend Biomedic Vitamin C cream for our patients.

Copper Peptides

Copper peptides used in healing scars and wounds have a positive effect in reducing wrinkle. Peptides are fragments of proteins, which are the essential element in building the living tissues. Copper Peptide can help to minimize daily damages from sun,
wind and other chemicals and stimulate the production of regular collagen.
To slow down the development of the signs of aging skin we recommend the use of Copper Peptides as a good addition to skin rejuvenation treatment.
