Some of the first areas to visibly show aging are the face and neck. Skin loses collagen and elastin with age, and therefore looks loose, texture looks crepey and dull, and lashes become thinner. Many feel that this change seemed to happen overnight.
Fortunately, there are medical grade products that can be used at home, to slow down and even reverse the visible signs of aging. These products can be purchased through a physician’s office, or physician owned facility.
Latisse®(bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03 percent) is the first and only FDA approved prescription treatment used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker. The solution comes with sterile brush applicators, used to apply the product to the lash line nightly. In about four to eight weeks you may see your lashes getting fuller and darker, with full dramatic results showing at 16 weeks. The cost of a 5ml kit is $150, and will last long enough to provide full results. Once desired results are achieved, usage can be reduced in frequency to about three days a week. In the month of July, Dermacure of Valencia will give you a free 30-day supply of Latisse with the purchase of a Botox/Juvederm combination treatment.
SkinCeuticals offers products that are backed by years of scientific research to bring you maximum anti-aging benefit using the highest concentration and quality of ingredients available. Dermacure has been using their product line for over 10 years, and we love the way their products make our skin look and feel. They are currently offering the Advanced Anti-Aging System, which we couldn’t be more excited about. The system contains three products that are key in reducing the external and internal factors that cause skin aging. The first product is CE Ferulic, a triple antioxidant serum that protects against UV induced damage and free radical damage for 24 hours once applied in the morning. The second is Resveratrol BE, a highly concentrated nighttime antioxidant to repair and prevent accumulated damage. Finally, the gold standard of all anti-aging creams is A.G.E. Interrupter. Ideal for mature skin, A.G.E. Interrupter improves skin creping and thinning, as well as corrects fine lines and wrinkles. It also restores nutrients and firmness to the skin. This system is an extreme value at $299 for a three to four month supply, as purchased separately these three products would cost you over $460.
