Look and feel your best for the holidays
Hello Beautiful Soul,
Slow and steady wins the race. I must admit, while I know it’s a truism for a reason I don’t always love this concept, and if you’re anything like me, then patience may be a virtue you still need to work on. But, I’m here to tell you that the turtle, not the hare, will win the skin care game EVERY time because our skin is constantly regenerating.
There is no such thing as “one and done” when it comes to your skin; even a full surgical facelift only lasts about 10 years.
There are so many tempting promises out there right now, specifically the concept of heating your dermis to “tighten your skin like when you put jeans in the dryer” using lasers, soft lasers (whatever that means) or radio frequency. Not only are these types of claims too good to be true, they don’t make logical sense because your skin is not made of denim!
Here is Dr. Ben Johnson’s, Founder and CEO of OsmosisMD, take on heat induced tightening:
When you heat collagen it does not get tighter like wet clothes in a dryer. The heat from a laser or radio frequency literally breaks your collagen which causes your skin to tear down the damaged tissue and then work hard to replace what was damaged. Unfortunately, research shows that the skin does not replace all of the destroyed/heated collagen because it is already behind on keeping up with daily maintenance due to declines in nutrients from aging and environmental aggressors. Cooking your collagen does not make more collagen, you get a net loss. The clinical studies typically cover the first few months after treatments where you can measure a significant, albeit temporary, ramp up in collagen production ...but that is not a rejuvenating event, it is an emergency repair action.
The initial tightening that is seen from laser procedures is caused from the swelling of the repair process (if you get punched in the eye your crows feet will temporarily go away) and IF the tightening lasts more than say 3-6 months it means that scar tissue has formed deep in the skin.
How does scar tissue age? Some may get lucky. I think most will have regrets over time. There are a growing number of people who loved the results in the first 2 years but are now seeing the ramifications as their skin ages in uneven texture, weird folds and asymmetrical lumps. I predicted a few years ago that many would be sad they had these procedures after 5 years...but Facebook groups are growing rapidly filled with people reporting regrets after just a few years.
But have no fear … there are other, better options for skin rejuvenation!
OsmosisMD offers a unique, clinically proven, professional use only Dermal Rejuvenating Formula that generates a full 30-days of increased collagen production. It is unique because it avoids damaging your epidermis by penetrating high-dose active ingredients directly into your dermis through liposomal delivery. This medical-grade formula enhances results for acne, aging, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation.
And if you want to 10x your results then try our MicroNeedle Infusion Treatment.
This combines 30 days of dermal rejuvenation with all of the benefits of the FDA approved SkinPen MicroNeedle. Unlike devices that use heat, the SkinPen creates a controlled micro injury which allows your body a stable environment for healing and results in scarless wound healing! The collagen deposited by your body over the next 6 months is in a natural, basket-weave format NOT the parallel (scar) format seen with heat or chemical sources of rejuvenation. The average net gain is +.5mm of collagen. Let’s go!
