Wrinkle Treatment New Technology
With nearly 10 million
minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures conducted in 2007, today’s
population is in search of alternatives to treat their wrinkles without
having to go under the knife.
For over the past 15 years, doctors used traditional CO2 lasers to
change the surface and appearance of the skin. However, these lasers are
riddled with problems including permanent loss of pigment, scarring,
prolonged redness and healing and a potential for an unnatural waxy
appearance.
Now, there is a new medical technology which treats lines and wrinkles
in one session without all of the hassles associated with traditional CO2
lasers. It’s called the “Fraxel re:pair” which is the latest advancement in
CO2 lasers.
“With a traditional CO2 laser, a laser beam treats 100% of the skin,”
reports Dr. Kimberly Finder, Director and Founder of The Face Place in San
Antonio. “The new Fraxel re:pair is revolutionary in that microscopic beams
hit only a portion of the skin which creates columns of laser treated skin
surrounded by normal skin. This advancement will take aged and weathered
skin and create a rejuvenated look.”
“This new device promotes stimulation of collagen. Thus, individuals
continue to see improvement, even weeks after treatment,” said Finder.
In addition to treating wrinkles, the Fraxel re:pair will tighten the
skin on the face and neck. Many women apply sunscreen on their face but
neglect to utilize sunscreen on their neck. As a result, these women have
necks that look ten years older than their face. Other uses include
treating sun damaged and dark pigmented skin and eliminating acne scars.
With over 20 million Americans who have acne badly enough that it causes
scars, acne sufferers will no longer have to endure the embarrassment of
the unsightly appearance that their acne leaves behind.
Kimberly Finder, M.D., a board certified dermatologist, is one of the
first in San Antonio to acquire the Fraxel re:pair after Reliant
Technologies, maker of the Fraxel laser, made this new technology available
at the recent American Dermatology Association meeting this spring.

Hey everyone,
Another great organic skincare company that is certified is MADE FROM EARTH. I have been using their products for the last 6 months - and now stopped. . . Because my skin has naturally improved itself and I have seen a real decline in the amount of wrinkles on the side of my eyes. I would recommend the “VITAMIN ENHANCED FACE FIRMING SERUM”. This is the cream I only used for 6 months and now stopped because it naturally has improved my owns skins ability to heal itself
As a body lotion, I use the HONEY HONEY cream. Smells like honey. Definitely check them out and they are way better priced than most organic skin care lines. . .the website is madefromearth.com
