Cosmetic Anti-Aging Treatments

Over a lifetime, skin gets damaged by the sun and normal aging - cosmetic anti-aging treatments can help. For some people, the wrinkles and discoloration are hard to take. If you feel this way, you may be tempted to try some of the treatments now being marketed to help you look younger. Various chemical treatments and procedures are available to ease the signs of age on the face, neck, arms and hands.

This system measures the biophysical parameters of your skin:

• Hydration-Elasticity
• Keratine (dead cells)
• Sebum (oily skin)
• Pore size and distribution
• Winkles

The Skin Analysis System analyses results and determines the patient's skin condition, allowing the doctor to customize the cosmetic anti-aging treatment to each patient's situation.

Pinewood Natural Health Centre addresses a variety of skin concerns such as premature aging and wrinkling, sun damage, acne, loss of vitality, tone and radiance. The cosmetic anti-aging treatment products used at Pinewood Natural Health Centre come from nature with ingredients that are good enough to impart healthy and beautiful skin.

Some of our products with hydroquinone, a bleaching ingredient, can tone down blotchiness or blemishes. Some hydroquinone products also contain vitamins, herbs, or other chemicals to make the product more effective.

Anti-aging products containing alpha-hydroxy acids, salicylic acid, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E), or copper may improve skin texture. Retinoic acid, which has undergone extensive testing, has been shown to modestly improve skin texture.

Creams with ingredients such as kojic acid, lavender, olive leaf, bearberry, thyme, ubiquinone (formerly called coenzyme Q), or peppermint are billed as improving the appearance of skin on the face and work to promote anti-aging.

Choosing the correct treatment products for your skin type can seem to be a daunting task. Our experienced staff can help you choose the cosmetic products which suit your skin type, whether your skin is dry, normal, combination, sensitive or oily.

Dermal Fillers are used as a first choice for lines of the lower face. These fillers are made of bio-compatible gels called Hyaluronic acid. They are lab made copies of our natural hyaluronic acid; they do not come from animals. These fillers are used to plump up the wrinkle from below with their jello-like structure. They dissolve away into water over time. We use fillers in lines of the lower face and in the lines of the upper face, as well as for reshaping the contour of the face: cheekbones, chin, and lip enhancement.

A single series of injections lasts about 4 or 10 months. Dermal fillers are often used in combination with other skin care procedures like mesotherapy and/or peelings.

Mesotherpy is a safe, natural alternative treatment to invasive cosmetic procedures. Mesotherapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the skin to nourish and rejuvenate, promote production of collagen and elastin, and stimulate its metabolism. As skin ages, circulation decreases and the resulting reduction of oxygen and nutrients hinders the body's ability to flush toxins. This is what drives premature aging and causes skin to develop an ashen appearance.

This technique is the direct injection in the epidermis and dermis of agents that hydrate, tone, and revitalize the skin. This is a weekly treatment, followed by maintenance sessions every one to four months.

After treatment, patients commonly describe their skin as looking rested, radiant, glowing and firmer. Mesotherapy can be used as a supplement or an alternative to many anti-aging regimens including botox, laser resurfacing, peels, anti-oxidants, topical creams and facelifts.

Radiofrequency ThermaSkin is an exclusive device based on the synergy of radiofrequency and photodynamics. The ultimate technology in cosmetic anti-aging treatments.

Therma-Skin emits a pleasant form of heat via two light handpieces, stimulating the skin deep down and accelerating the production of collagen and elastin, the elements responsible for skin elasticity and tone. This action is amplified by the use of red light, which emits heat simultaneously, stimulating tissue still further, improving tone and firmness and generating a remarkable lifting effect.

Therma-Skin is a highly effective way of reducing wrinkles, couperosis and atony, slowing down the aging process and remodeling the face wonderfully.

To look beautiful your skin must be properly oxygenated. So why not treat it to a breath of fresh oxygen? Oxygen Spray is a beauty treatment that completely revitalizes the epidermis to tone, smooth, and brighten. An ideal treatment for anyone suffering from couperosis, acne, chemical peeling or laser treatment scars.

A fresh, pleasant jet of oxygen. An anti-aging flow of energy for your skin. This is Oxygen Infusion, a professional treatment that, thanks to the pulsed pressure of pure oxygen, dilates the pores and sends the active endocosmetic principles down into the deepest layers of the epidermis. This enhances the production of elastin and collagen leaving the skin well toned and bright.

This is the most advanced anti-aging treatment and it is a perfect synergy of connective tissue massaging with oxygen infusion. This deep-reaching tissue massage stimulates blood circulation while the flow of oxygen carries the active principles deep into your skin, accelerating the cell regeneration processes. The cosmetic results are astonishing; your face becomes toned and reshaped, and facial mood lines are smoothed away.

In all natural health therapies nutritional supplements and vitamins are used to improve the nutrition provided by your diet. Proactive use of nutritional supplements and vitamins can result in improved health, longevity and younger appearance.
