Did you know that skin is the largest organ? we are surrounded by our skin, it keeps us safe and battles the elements day in and day out, everyday of our life. Taking proper care of your skin is one of the best ways to keep yourself looking young and healthy. Dr. Levine offers a plethora of skin care treatments to keep your skin in top form. one of these procedures is Microdermabrasion.
San Antonio Microdermabrasion is a popular skin re-freshening treatment which uses tiny crystals to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells to reveal the smooth, yet unharmed, healthy skin which lies just beneath. Since Microdermabrasion is removing that dead outer layer of skin, any skin imperfection on that layer will also be removed. Skin imperfections such as uneven skin pigmentation, fine line, wrinkles and sun damage may be effectively treated with Microdermabrasion.

San Antonio, Texas, USA, Jul 23, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) –Keraplast Technologies announced today the release of Keras, a comprehensive skin care system available exclusively from dermatologists, plastic surgeons, spas and clinics under physician direction. Incorporating the latest advancement in wound treatment, the Keras system uses the well proven Replicine(tm) Functional Keratin(r) wound care technology to provide improved healing after skin treatments, such as chemical peels, microdermabrasions or laser treatments, reducing down time and improving the cosmetic outcome, as well as a full range of at home care products to rebuild skin structure through an ongoing regimen. Dr Robert Allen Smith, MD, Plastic Surgeon and Clinical Director of Keraplast Technologies said “To achieve advanced wound healing requires genuine functionality from proven technologies that actually help the skin improve. Replicine(tm) Functional Keratin(r) wound care products have been providing significant benefits to a wide range of patients with moderate and severely damaged skin. the same healing processes occur in the intentional wounds created during skin treatments. the use of a proven wound healing technology to improve cosmetic outcome is a fantastic innovation.”
recent peer review scientific publications describe University of Miami research identifying that Replicine(tm) Functional Keratin(r) helps speed healing and helps skin cells make more collagen 4 and collagen 7. these particular proteins are crucial for rebuilding healthy skin structure following injury, and are also the specific collagens degraded at the base of each wrinkle during the ageing process. Professor Robert Kirsner, MD, Vice Chairman & Stiefel Laboratories Chair Department of Dermatology & Cutaneous Surgery and Chief of Dermatology University of Miami School of Medicine said “The understanding of the role that keratin proteins play in skin biology and wound care is emerging science and expanding at a rapid rate. the use of keratin is real innovation and can be seen as a new paradigm in wound healing”.
the Keras system extends the use of advanced wound care technology to a complete skin care regimen, incorporating all the essential products needed for daily skin care, including Intensive Serum, Microdermabrasion Cream, SPF Day Shield, Night Renewal, Gel Cleanser and Eye Gel. “Keraplast focuses on providing proven scientific and medical advancements in a useful way that makes a positive difference to the everyday lives of our customers. we work across many fields, and so the extension of an advanced wound care technology to dermatology and skin care is natural for us, whereas other companies do not have access to the same medical advancements” said Michael Espensen, Chief Executive Officer of Keraplast Technologies.

Lumenis’ High Speed LightSheer® Duet™ featured in new York Times Fashion & Style for Eliminating ‘Pain and Nuisance’ of Hair Removal for Men.
Lumenis’ High Speed LightSheer® Duet™ for permanent hair reduction was featured recently in the new York Times Fashion & Style section with Dr. Arielle Kauvar, Clinical Associate Professor of Dermatology new York University Medical Center and Founding Director, new York Laser & Skin Care. during the interview, Dr. Kauvar described the LightSheer Duet as a welcome relief for men seeking a smoother appearance, with reduction in treatment time and improved patient comfort. “Men who wanted to have their back hair removed permanently, for example, often had to sit with a topical anesthetic for an hour before each of a half-dozen visits, so there used to be the ‘time and pain and nuisance’ factor.” with the advent of the High Speed LightSheer Duet welcome relief has arrived. now ‘big swaths of hair can be removed in multiple 15-minute treatments,” stated Dr. Kauvar.
To read the new York Times Fashion & Style piece with Dr. Arielle Kauvar discussing why she prefers the speed and comfort of the LightSheer Duet over older hair removal methods with their ‘time and pain and nuisance factors’, go to http://www.aesthetic.lumenis.com/wt/page/inthenews.
To watch side-by-side comparisons of the NEW High Speed LightSheer Duet with versus other lasers in terms of treatment speed and comfort, visit http://www.highspeedlightsheer-challenge.com.
“Clearly men accept that excessive body hair can be unattractive and uncomfortable. However, very few have the patience to subject themselves to lengthy hair removal procedures, particularly if pain is involved. Thanks to the newHigh Speed LightSheer Duet, these men will now be able to schedule appointments that are far more convenient, get in and have their back or chest treated with speed and comfort, get out and return to their normal routine,” said mr. Robert Mann, General Manager of Lumenis Global Aesthetics & Dermatology Business.
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery estimates 14% of the 1.3 million laser hair removal proceduresperformed in 2008 within the US alone were for men, whereas 83% for women (www.surgery.org). Other reports estimate procedure volume to be much higher. faster and comfortable treatment alternatives such as the new High Speed LightSheer Duet have the potential to expand this market significantly. Clinicians already report an increase in number of younger men seeking laser hair removal in general. this is further supported by online advertorials for major razor manufacturers geared towards attracting and educating younger men on the benefits of shaving multiple body areas.
“Laser hair removal offers permanent results for long term satisfaction – actual reduction in hair count and thickness. this is a major advantage over the temporary satisfaction and ongoing nuisance associated with shaving or waxing,” added Dr. Mitchel P. Goldman, MD. Clinical Professor Dermatology/Medicine, University of California, San Diego and Medical Director of La Jolla Spa MD. “I have personally tried all of the various hair removal lasers developed over the past 18 years, to remove the hair on my own back in addition to my patients. The new LightSheer Duet is the best by far! The procedure was literally painless for me, and took only 15 minutes. Actually, I’m still nearly hair free four months post treatment. this is definitely the best thing I’ve ever done for my back.”
The LightSheer Duet features two hair removal systems on one versatile platform enabling clinicians to optimize permanent hair reduction anywhere on the body. The platform also includes the LightSheer ET system, which is ideal for smaller or bony areas such as the upper lip, chin, or around the ankles. The performance of this system is well documented and clinically validated, satisfying customers worldwide with over 6000 LightSheer systems installed. The new LightSheer HS (High Speed handpiece) features a large 22×35 mm diode array that is designed for treating large areas such as legs, arms, chests, abdomen, shoulders and backs.
LightSheer HS employs fully integrated vacuum assist technology to gently lift skin into the treatment aperture prior to applying laser energy. with this approach, the targeted tissue is gently stretched and thinned, minimizing competing chromophores by blanching vessels and spreading skin pigmentation over a larger area, in addition to pulling the hair follicle closer to the skin’s surface. The cumulative result is that energy is delivered more efficiently to achieve excellent clinical results with speed and comfort. These combined features allow clinicians to treat large areas easily and quickly, leading to a significant reduction in treatment time, which essentially eliminates clinician fatigue and revolutionizes treatment economics.

Dr. George Bitar recently launched a redesigned, contemporary website to showcase the Bitar Cosmetic Surgery Institute, matching the new, modern interior of his facility in Fairfax, Virginia. Maintaining the goal of educating prospective and existing patients regarding their procedure(s) of choice, Dr. Bitar’s website offers comprehensive information about all cosmetic procedures, ranging from skin care to lasers and injectables to cosmetic surgery.
Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) June 26, 2012
following the opening of his new office earlier last year – moving to a new, modern facility in Fairfax, Virginia – Dr. George Bitar has recently launched a redesigned website, that which matches the contemporary interior aesthetics of his new office. Proud to serve a sophisticated national and international clientele, Dr. Bitar is always in pursuit of high patient satisfaction; this is evident in the most recent advancement of his practice, the Bitar Cosmetic Surgery Institute. the website redesign and new facility location are a part of the Institute’s overall new direction.
According to Dr. Rima Bitar, the business development manager of the Bitar Cosmetic Surgery Institute, “The website contains comprehensive information as well as over 1,000 before and after photos pertaining to the services above.” she continues, “From skin care and injectables to laser and spider vein treatments to surgery, the Bitar Cosmetic Surgery Institute aims to be a ‘one-stop shop” for all of our patients’ cosmetic needs.’”
Dr. Bitar takes the necessary steps to ensure patients will fully understand the treatment or procedure he or she is interested in before committing to it. “The main goal of the website is to educate prospective and existing patients about the numerous cosmetic procedures that are available to them, as well as to help the patient make a more informed decision about the procedure they would like to have done,” says Dr. Rima Bitar. in addition to providing a more modern image that is synergized with Dr. Bitar’s new Fairfax facility, the website redesign is also intended to leverage the latest technology and enhance the patient experience, such as with a SlideShowPro photo gallery and the internal blog.
Dr. Bitar has an extensive background in the field of plastic surgery. Having trained internationally and performed surgeries on every continent, Dr. Bitar attracts a vast range of individuals to his practice. some of these people are international patients in the Washington DC metropolitan area as well as national and international patients who travel in particular to seek his cosmetic services. Strongly valuing both patient education and peer education, Dr. Bitar is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (ACS). in addition, Dr. Bitar closely works with medical students from George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC, where he is assistant clinical professor, and has been guiding them in an internship program since 2007.
In addition, Dr. Bitar was named “Top Doctor” by Washingtonian Magazine, US Airways Magazine, and Hemispheres Magazine, and has been named among “Top Doctors in America” by the prestigious Castle-Connolly listing.
Dr. George Bitar is available for interviews and commentary.
At 71 years old, Shirley Klingbeil routinely is complimented on her skin.
“everybody thinks I look about 20 years younger,” Klingbeil said, who lives in Illinois.
Klingbeil’s routine is pretty simple. she doesn’t wash her face with soap. instead, twice a day, she uses Obagi skin care products and makeup with sunscreen. she drinks a lot of water, wears a hat when she goes outside and she doesn’t smoke. That’s it.
“I think that’s the real thing that causes wrinkles is the smoking,” Klingbeil said.
never lighting up seems to have worked for Klingbeil. So has protecting herself from the harmful rays — whether outdoors or using a tanning bed. The latter, in particular, according to Springfield, Ill., dermatologist Dr. Cassandra Claman, can age a person tremendously. Plus, Claman said, they can kill you. She’d make them illegal if she could.
“Tanning beds should be completely outlawed. The end,” Claman said laughing.
Outlawed because the lights do more damage to skin than the sun –– the harmful rays penetrate the skin more deeply, Claman said.
“It’s probably the No. 1 cause of young women getting skin cancer now — melanomas and basal cell (car)cinomas,” Claman said. “they are deadly. they are absolutely deadly.”
SPF, moisturize and cream, not lotion
even if a person doesn’t use a tanning bed, too much sun exposure also can lead to cancer. And while skin cancer cases are on the rise, Claman isn’t certain if there actually are more cases or if doctors today are more aware of it.
either way, she cautions her patients to be vigilant about sun protection. she recommends wearing sunscreen every day, even if you don’t think you’ll be outside much.
“Eighty percent of our sun is just to and from the car running errands and through the windshield,” Claman said. “by being prepared every morning … at least you’ve got some coverage on.”
If you are headed for the beach, Claman suggests loading up on the heavy artillery. she advises using a waterproof sunscreen with the highest SPF available. for men who may not want to lather on a cream, using a spray works just as well, she said.
“It’s very lightweight so they don’t feel all goofy and sticky,” Claman said. “by wearing sunscreen every day, it’s remarkable how much sun damage can be reversed.”
apart from preventing skin cancer, Claman’s helps her clients find ways to look younger and to replenish what the years have taken away.
“mainly, what happens when you get older is your skin gets drier,” Claman said.
So to counteract the dryness, Claman suggests investing in a moisturizing cream — not lotion, but cream. The difference, she said, is that lotions contain a large amount of water and alcohol. Thirty minutes after applying it, skin may feel as if nothing was applied, she said. So slather on the cream.
“you put that on … over damp skin every day, and that helps tremendously in terms of keeping your skin healthy,” she said.
Other measures
Claman said two other products that can reduce the effects of aging are Retin-A and Renova. Chemical peels also can take the years off, she said.
If those products don’t yield desired results, Botox, which is more effective on younger skin, and wrinkle fillers might be good options, said Springfield, Ill., plastic surgeon Dr. Nicole Sommer.
“Treatments such as the fillers and Botox — those only last for a certain amount of time,” Sommer said.
If a patient doesn’t want to continue receiving treatment, some opt for plastic surgery, such as a face-lift. Sommer said, oftentimes, patients say they feel much younger than they look, so surgery may be a way to merge one’s physical appearance and how old a person actually feels.
as for Shirley Klingbeil, though she may look like it, she’s never had any “work done.” instead, she said the main key to looking decades younger might be as simple as to remember to have a good time.
“having fun,” she said, “that’s good.”

Skin care tips

use a moisturizer with sunscreen.
Products such as Retin-A and Renova may reduce the appearance of aging.
Experiencing bags under eyes can cause a lot of discontent for individuals, especially for those who are just entering adulthood. Even though you might associate under eye bags with old age, they can actually affect anyone at any age. While altering ones lifestyle to a more healthy practice is often the key to healthy skin, some people do not achieve the results they want after making these changes. some individuals are still affected by unwanted eye bags even though they have made significant healthy lifestyle changes. Luckily, there are a couple of things that can be done for these situations. Have a look at Lifecell wrinkle cream for a bit of quick anti aging skin care help.
Sometimes under eye bags can diminish an individual’s self conscious and can cause major problems in some cases. for these situations, plastic surgery may be the only option. Keep in mind that plastic surgery should be the last result and there are other things that can be attempted. one interesting product that is effective at reducing the appearance of bags under eyes is Preparation H cream. one has to take great are when using this cream though because it should not get into the eyes.
Another eye bags treatment involves using common household food items as a type of anti-inflammatory. most of these items work simply because they are cold and cold things always reduce swelling. some items that can be used to accomplish this include ice cubes (wrappen in a towel), tea bags, and cucumber slices. if tea bags are used they should be placed in the freezer prior to use. It is thought that green tea bags can offer an additional anti-inflammatory property because of a chemical that is naturally found within green tea leaves.
The only downside to these simple and natural eye bags treatments is that their effectiveness is only temporary. to get your under eye bags to stay away for a long period, you will need to use an eye bags treatment regularly for a couple of days each week. for a truly permanent solution, you will need to find an excellent plastic surgeon who can provide an effective eyelift. since an eye lift is not very cheap not everyone will be able to use this option. Wrinkle filling injections can be used by those who cannot afford surgery but still want somewhat permanent results.
For those who do not like the surgical methods or cannot afford them, Vitamin K cream can be an effective eye bags treatment. if you purchase one of these types of creams, make sure the one you select includes at least 5% Vitamin K and also features Vitamins C and E as well as retinol. All of these ingredients can work to remove bags under eyes, dark circles and puffiness. in order to protect your skin you should also use a good moisturizer on a daily basis. Also, perhaps you may or may not be aware that the popular Lifecell cream also gets results as an eye solution. Makeup can sometimes be effective at hiding under eye bags while you work to permanently remove them. sometimes using makeup can draw more attention to the area so you will have to be careful when you use it as a cover-up.
For people who are getting married or involved in the wedding planning process, looking your best for the special day is of the utmost importance. Unfortunately, the signs of aging can taint the photographs which provide a lifetime of memories of the event. To that end, some people consider cosmetic surgery before the wedding to help them look younger. Timing is critical in helping to determine what procedures can be performed and what results a person can expect from facial rejuvenation before a wedding.
If you have less than 2 weeks before a wedding, it is ill advised to undergo any kind of cosmetic surgery procedure, even Botox Cosmetic or facial fillers. at this point, consideration should be put into having a makeup makeover and skin care evaluation. This often provides excellent results and can be worth the time and investment to produce nice results without risks.
If you have 2-3 weeks before the big day, consider Botox Cosmetic or facial fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, or Evolence among others. These can help to soften the lines and wrinkles of the face that speak to a person’s age. While the injections can be performed in the office, they can sometimes result in bruising or swelling of the face which may take a week to subside. It is therefore best to pursue these treatments at least 2 weeks in advance of the big day to ensure that everything is back to normal for photographs.
If you have 2-3 months before the ceremony, consider other procedures such as a facelift, nose job, or brow lift. some laser treatments can safely be performed if you have 2-3 months to recover as well. All of these procedures require some down time and have risks of bruising and swelling. with lasers, the skin will take time to heal and for redness to subside. Generally 2-3 months is enough time to allow for resolution of facial redness to at least a degree that can be covered by makeup. in the unlikely event that a complication occurs, generally 2-3 months is enough time to resolve the complication.
If you have hair loss and wish to have a head of hair similar to what you had when you were younger and have 6 months before the wedding, consider undergoing a hair transplant. though the procedure is an outpatient procedure performed using local anesthesia, it can take 6 months for the results to show and the hair to regrow. in addition, hair can be transplanted to the eyebrows to create natural, full eyebrows without the need for pencils or permanent makeup.
Memories from a wedding can last a lifetime. If you are getting married, part of a wedding party, or wedding planning, planning ahead can allow for facial rejuvenation which can make those memories even more special.
OK, so you baked yourself silly in high school. Who didn’t? What counts—at least in terms of looking younger—isn’t so much what you used to do, but what you’re doing right now.
“Studies show you can reverse the damage,” says Dr. Debra Jaliman, author of Skin Rules: Trade Secrets from a Top New York Dermatologist. “You can actually take 10 to 15 years off your age.”
We know what you’re thinking: Sure—if you’re willing to empty out your savings in the name of skin care, anything’s possible. but you don’t have to go to extremes: Pricey procedures at the dermatologist’s office aren’t the only anti-aging options that work.
“You can reverse skin damage with three basic tenets,” says New York City dermatologist Dr. Neil Sadick. “Turn over skin cells, stimulate collagen, and add volume.”
In the last 10 years, skin-care breakthroughs have made it possible to pull that off, repairing skin’s most vulnerable areas with targeted products and treatments.
So what gets results you can actually see at the best possible price? That’s the question we put to leading dermatologists. the good news: Many of the remedies they raved about are affordable and don’t require a trip to the dermatologist. get ready for smoother, softer, younger-looking skin—starting right now.
Rejuvenate your faceIt’s not your imagination: Your skin may still be willing, but it’s no longer able to bounce back quite the way it did even five years ago. With every birthday, your body’s production of collagen and elastin—two proteins responsible for skin’s structural support and elasticity—slows down. As a result, your skin begins to stretch, especially if you’ve spent a lot of time in the sun.
Bottom line: If you do nothing else to age-proof your skin, apply sunscreen each morning and a retinoid at night. using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day—no matter the weather or season—isn’t just about preventing sun damage.
A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that sunscreens also protect against free radicals—the molecules that cause aging—and the majority of the protection is thanks to the UV filters rather than antioxidants.
As for retinoids, research shows that they’re the ultimate multitaskers, preventing the buildup of dead skin cells, diminishing wrinkles, and lightening sun spots. not everyone can tolerate the vitamin-A derivative, so start with an over-the-counter retinol product. If you don’t notice an improvement after six weeks, see your dermatologist for a prescription retinoid (like Renova) and apply it every other day until your skin adjusts, then every day, suggests Sadick.
Baby your eye areaThe area around those two windows to your soul is the first place most of us notice signs of aging. Blame the loss of collagen coupled with decades of smiling and squinting, plus the inherent trickiness of shielding your eyes from the sun. (Age-accelerating UVA rays can sneak through your sunglasses.)
Any moisturizer (especially if it has hyaluronic acid, which draws moisture from the air) will plump up the area temporarily, but one that also has antioxidants like vitamins A, C, and E can help reverse the signs of sun damage and prevent further damage. What exactly do these alphabet answers to aging do? Vitamin A is the age-reversing ingredient in retinoids; vitamins C and E help protect against free-radical damage.
Bottom line: the best eye creams aren’t necessarily the most expensive ones. Pick a product that has antioxidants high on the ingredient list. And give it a chance to work before moving on to another. “You should stick with any anti-aging product for at least a month,” says Dr. Diane Berson, assistant professor of dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College. “It takes time to see the benefits.”
If OTC eye creams don’t give you the results you want, injectables like the muscle relaxers Botox and Dysport, or fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm, will help. these last anywhere from 3 to 18 months, and start at about $400 per treatment. not cheap, but effective.
Smooth out smile linesYou don’t have to have ever lit up a cigarette to develop feathery vertical lines along your upper lip line, or be a Debbie Downer to get frown (aka “marionette”) lines. Both are caused by a lifetime of facial expressions such as pursing your lips, smiling, and, yes, frowning. the fix usually involves some version of a plumper or filler.
Bottom line: A plumper helps temporarily fill out superficial, upper-lip lines, says Jaliman. but deeper lip lines usually call for in-office laser treatments at about $750 per session. As for erasing frown lines? “That ‘line’ is a deep fold caused by muscle contractions, not a crease, so a cream isn’t going to get rid of it,” says Berson. If it really bothers you, she says you’re better off saving your money for an in-office skin-tightening procedure. Thermage, usually a one-time treatment, starts at about $1,000; injectable fillers such as Perlane, Juvederm, or Radiesse cost about $600 per injection. (Each treatment lasts six months to one year).
Refresh your neck, chest, and handsAccording to a study published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, most men and women are able to correctly guess if a woman is in her 40s or beyond by glancing at her hands. the skin here, as well as on your neck and chest, has few sebaceous oil glands, making it especially susceptible to the aging process. but these three areas tend to suffer from neglect—as in, skipping the sunscreen or devoting all your skin-care dollars to your complexion. Then, the lack of care starts to show up in the form of uneven pigmentation, sunspots, and wrinkles.
Bottom line: “Rejuvenating the skin on your chest is all about cell turnover,” says Sadick. “Use an over-the-counter product with an alpha- or beta-hydroxy acid or a retinol to help with the process.”
For light sun spots, try an OTC bleaching cream. If you don’t get results in four to six weeks, move on to a prescription-strength hydroquinone cream. Your other option if those spots prove stubborn: See a derm about zapping them with a laser (cost: $500 to $700). “Lasers can remove every bit of sun damage—brown spots, uneven color—on the hands and legs, as well as the neck and chest,” says Jaliman. “Often, all it takes is one treatment.”
With each day comes new knowledge and techniques to keep us looking our best longer. Permanent Cosmetic Make-Up can be one way to help women streamline their morning routine and keep that healthy, vital, beautiful glow no matter if they are swimming, working out, have make-up allergies, hair loss, or uneven skin pigmentation issues. Permanent Cosmetics, also called cosmetic tattooing, is the placement of pigment just beneath the epidermis of the skin, usually to enhance the eyebrows, line the lips, or as eyeliner. In addition to these procedures, permanent cosmetics are used for nipple/areola tattooing after breast reconstruction, and to improve or mask scarred areas of the skin.

We make collagen everyday to replace and repair our damaged skin from harmful sun light, physical injury, the aging process and surgery. You can slow the aging process and heal faster by increasing the collagen you take. But the older we get over 30, the less collagen we make, the slower we heal, and the faster the aging process proceeds. When nature finally wins and we lose our youthful appearance, cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery seems to be the only answer. Do what the movie stars do. get the cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery, stay out of the sun, and get more collagen for skin care as a skin treatment to slow the aging process.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a collagen supplement in capsule form so we would not have to inject it? A skin care product that would supply us with all the collagen we would need to repair and heal our damaged skin as if we were 30 years old again?
Technology has finally found a way to stabilize collagen for skin care as a skin treatment. to delay, stop, or even reverse the aging process, we can now swallow a collagen supplement instead of having it injected into our bodies to feel and see the difference all over. most people report a more noticeable youthful appearance within three weeks. Collagen makes up 80% of our skin a connective tissue like bone, cartilage and muscle. It gives skin its elasticity and keeps it looking young and wrinkle free.
Plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery cuts into and damages these connective tissues; many times scraping away bone and cartilage, reattaching muscle and removing excess skin. Of course, it is all worth it after all the swelling, pain and discoloration have healed and the end-results reveals a more pleasant or youthful appearance. to protect your investment of time and money a collagen supplement can greatly enhance your results before and after plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery.
A collagen supplement should be taken right at bedtime. This is important because the repair and healing process of your damaged skin and connective tissue happens within the first 90 minutes of sleep. It should be taken for a minimum of 30 days prior to plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery, and preferably 2 months before, to insure your skin and connective tissues are as healthy and strong as they can be. Then, after plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery, collagen should be taken for a minimum of 2 months to ensure a complete and total healing experience for best results.
You will amaze your doctor by healing in far less time than expected with less pain and with much less scar tissue. This accelerated healing will further enhance your experience, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as you get back to everyday life sooner with more confidence. Of course, your doctor will benefit as well from your amazing results by exemplifying his or her plastic surgery and/or cosmetic surgery skills.
The FDA has given collagen the highest possible safety status. Collagen is a protein comprising only of amino acids, water and minerals, and contains no fat, carbohydrates or preservatives. Collagen has no undesired side effects nor does it react with drugs or other food/food ingredients.
In conclusion, to ensure the best cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery healing results, or any surgery for that matter, where connective tissue is to be damaged take your skin care product as a skin treatment at bedtime, 2 months before and 2 months after cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery. Remember, 85% of your connective tissue is collagen and that includes your skin. So, the older you are over 30, the less collagen you are making and the faster you are aging. You don’t have to be a movie star to afford and defy nature’s aging process. anyone can take a collagen skin care product as a skin treatment with confident results to live a more youthful life beyond their age.
