SKINCEUTICALS A.G.E. EYE COMPLEX

Published by admin under Uncategorized

The first signs of aging seems to always appear around the eyes. Take out the sun factor, the squinting, rubbing etc.. I am talking about internal processes that are naturally occurring as we age. Some internal factors include hormonal shifts and metabolic slowdown. This unfortunately results in puffiness, sagging, creping, and an overall thinness.

One cream that helps penetrate this delicate eye and target these internal factors is from SkinCeuticals called A.G.E. Eye Complex.

This very thick, almost balm-like cream is a unique treatment. It provides three dimensions of action and results.

  • On the surface, the optical diffusers in the cream immediately improve the look and gives off a slight radiance to the eye area. It diminishes the look of the fine lines, dark areas, and capillaries. 
  • Just under the skin, specialized ingredients such as haloxyl and flavagrum improve the lymphatic drainage to start to eliminate puffiness and dark circles.
  • Within the skin, 4% blueberry extract pauses the internal reactions that occur within the collagen and elastin fibers along with 5% Proxylane to improve and strengthen the elasticity of the skin.

SkinCeuticals products can be purchased at Reina Rena.

Do I need a chemical peel?

Orlando Cosmetic Procedures: Chemical Peel Treatments

 Chemical peel, is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin. In this treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, which causes it to “blister” and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. The new skin also is temporarily more sensitive to the sun.

What Conditions Do Chemical Peels Treat?

Chemical peels are performed on the face, neck or hands. They can be used to:

  • Reduce fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth
  • Treat wrinkles caused by sun damage, aging and hereditary factors
  • Improve the appearance of mild scarring
  • Treat certain types of acne
  • Reduce age spots, freckles and dark patches due to pregnancy or taking birth control pills (melasma)
  • Improve the look and feel of skin that is dull in texture and color

Areas of sun damage, which may contain pre-cancerous keratoses that appear as scaly spots, may improve after chemical peeling. Following treatment, new pre-cancerous lesions are less likely to appear.
