The Skin Clinic, Inc. thinks skin care is extremely important – at home AND in the clinic.  That’s why we only use the best products on our clients…including Neocutis.

Neocutis S.A. was founded in February 2003 as a spin-off from the Medical School of the University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland. It is a privately held specialty bio-pharmaceutical company focused on wound healing, dermatology and skin care.

Neocutis developed a technology platform based on an in-depth understanding of scarless wound healing. This platform has multiple applications in wound healing, dermatology and skin care. Thus, it is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles after two months of daily use.

Dermabrasion is generally used to refer to a surgical procedure that abrades away the top layers of the skin. The term microdermabrasion generally refers to a non-surgical procedure that abrades less deeply than dermabrasion. Although the mechanism of the two procedures is similar, the difference in the depth of the abrasion results in different recovery times. Dermabrasion recovery time may take as much as several weeks to several months whereas microdermabrasion recovery time may be as little as one to two days.
Microdermabrasion may be performed to decrease the appearance of superficial hyperpigmentation, photo-damage, diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and shallow acne scars. Removing the dead skin will aid in the penetration of skin care products by up to 50% and makeup will go on much more smoothly.

According to Discovery Health, the idea is that if you remove or break up the stratum corneum, the body interprets that as a mild injury and rushes to replace the lost skin cells with new and healthy ones. In the first hour after treatment, this causes mild edema (swelling) and erythema (redness). Depending on the individual, these side effects can last anywhere from an hour to two days.

This process has a few beneficial effects. With the stratum corneum gone, the skin’s surface is improved. The healing process brings with it newer skin cells that look and feel smoother. Some of the skin’s visible imperfections, like sun damage, blemishes and fine lines, are removed. Also, without the stratum corneum acting as a barrier, medicinal creams and lotions are more effective because more of their active ingredients and moisture can find their way down to the lower layers of skin. As microdermabrasion temporarily removes some moisture from the skin, it is always followed by the application of moisturizing creams.

Early studies suggest that repeated microdermabrasion treatment at regular intervals may influence the way the lower layers of skin grow, as well, removing deeper blemishes over time. Some evidence seems to indicate that the rapid loss of skin moisture may be what triggers the lower skin layers to work overtime in speeding healthy cells up to the surface.

A medical microdermabrasion is more superficial than ordinary dermabrasion and can be performed in less than an hour. The person may resume ordinary daily activities immediately afterward. Microdermabrasion works best for superficial lesions such as fine lines and age spots; deeper lesions require other treatments.

BOTOX® is a trade name for Botulinum Toxin A. According to Discovery Health, Botox Cosmetic has been successfully used to treat severe glabellar (frown) lines and is approved for use in adult patients up to 65 years of age. Also a form of botulinum toxin type A, when Botox Cosmetic is injected into the muscles surrounding the brow area for instance, those muscles can not “scrunch up” for a period of time. They’re paralyzed, so the wrinkles in that area, often referred to as furrows or frown lines, temporarily go away.

BOTOX Cosmetic is administered by a healthcare professional as a simple, nonsurgical treatment that is injected directly into the muscles between the brows. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form between the brows.

Discover the proven results that 11 million women and men have experienced at The Skin Clinic, Inc. With real, noticeable results, no surgery and no recovery time, there are many reasons why BOTOX Cosmetic has been chosen by millions of women and their doctors.

Many men are led to believe by their physicians that feeling constantly tired, having the inability to gain muscle mass and lose fat, decreased libido and foggy thinking is all a part of growing older. Accepting these symptoms as a part of aging can negatively impact your ability to perform at work, relationships with friends and family and most importantly, how you enjoy your life. You’d be amazed at how impactful hormones and hormone therapy are to your well being. And when they’re out of balance, so is everything else in your life.

Every man experiences a gradual decline in hormone production as he gets older. Beginning at age 30, his body starts to manufacture less and less testosterone, losing roughly one to three percent per year. Then, sometime between 40 and 55, testosterone levels drop dramatically and signal the onset of andropause, the medical term for the male equivalent of menopause. After this happens, a man finds himself deficient in sexual desire, gaining weight, losing muscle mass and not feeling motivated, depressed and moody. Most men who don’t have hormone replacement therapy believe they have to live through these symptoms as part of “aging.” Nothing could be further from the truth! SottoPelle hormone replacement therapy can bring back your vitality.

The Skin Clinic, Inc. offers SottoPelle Therapy – a remarkably simple, hassle free method of natural hormone replacement that can return you to the balance and well being of healthy hormone levels! If you think you may be in the need for Hormone Replacement Therapy, fill out our Checklist to find out!

The Skin Clinic, Inc. and the Health Article by LocateADoctor.com show how Pixel Skin Resurfacing can benefit you:

Estrogen – Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Estrogen is a woman’s most important hormone. Without hormone replacement therapy, the loss of estrogen puts her at increased risk for premature ovary failure, osteoporosis, heart disease, colon cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, tooth loss, impaired vision, Parkinson’s disease and diabetes. The longer a woman is without the protection of her own estrogen, the greater the risk for serious health consequences of these conditions.

There are estrogen receptors in a variety of organs throughout the body and brain. That’s why hormonal imbalance produces different symptoms such as loss of skin elasticity, bone shrinkage, mood and cognitive decline. On the other hand, when estrogen levels rise as they do in the first week of menses, their overall effect is to increase the amount of serotonin available in the spaces between the brain’s nerve cells. That improves mood. Within the brain, estrogen may in fact act as a natural antidepressant and mood stabilizer. It is therefore essential that a woman suffering from premature ovary failure or surgical menopause receive treatment from a HRT physician who understands the many ramifications of the disease and is willing and able to meet her endocrine and emotional needs.

Testosterone – Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Testosterone hormone therapy gives a woman her mental clarity, libido and muscle tone and mass. When this hormone is at low levels, women often complain of mental confusion, weight gain and poor muscle growth even with regular exercise.

The effect of hormone deficiency on the brain, muscle, bone, heart and metabolism can be significant without hormone replacement therapy for women and dangerous to long term health. The brain needs normal amounts of testosterone in balance with estrogen to produce serotonin, which supports emotional balance. When lacking in these hormones, a woman will experience emotional instability that often results in increased anxiety, irritability, sleep disturbances, anger, sadness and depression.

The musculoskeletal system is also adversely affected by the loss of testosterone. By not having bio-identical hormone therapy the deficiency or imbalance of testosterone can lead to muscle atrophy, osteopenia, osteoporosis and pain in the muscles and joints.

The Skin Clinic, Inc. provides effective treatments for dark tattoo inks. With the overwhelming popularity of tattoos over the last ten years, the market for effective removal has exploded. Tattoos are created by injecting colored pigment into small deep holes made in the skin. Regardless of whether a tattoo artist or an untrained individual injects the pigment, the marks or designs are relatively permanent. When people subsequently want their tattoos removed, most physicians today consider laser surgery one of the best methods.

During treatment, pulses of light from the laser are directed onto the tattoo, breaking up the tattoo pigment. Over the next several weeks the body’s macrophages remove the treated pigmented areas. We can effectively treat dark tattoo inks, specifically black (which accounts for more than half of all tattoos), blue and green.

Tattoo ink and natural pigmentation like melanin absorb short pulse duration/high peak energy Q-switched pulses so quickly that they create a photo-acoustic effect within the pigment clusters. This effect breaks down the ink into much smaller particles that can be more easily removed by the body’s natural filtering system.

It is recommended that patients should expect to come back for several treatments to achieve expected results. The Skin Clinic, Inc. provides a safe way to remove unwanted, dark ink tattoos with dramatic results after treatment!

Patient demand for non-surgical, non-invasive and no downtime skin tightening and body contouring treatments has grown dramatically over the past decade as new treatments and technologies have been introduced.

Until recently, the options available to treat skin laxity in order to attain a tighter body contour were limited to surgery. Various non-invasive vacuum and massage-based treatments offer only partial and short-term benefits since the improvement was temporary.   Devices with various optical heating sources have proved to have limited benefit due to either their inability to penetrate deep enough or due to unwanted side effects.

Radio Frequency Body Contouring services reduces cellulite, shapes the abdomen, buttocks and thighs.

•  Treats larger body areas with a three dimensional body contouring treatment that provides deep, volumetric dermal heating
•  Results in smoother skin and a more appealing contour via collagen stimulation
•  Enjoy a non-invasive procedure with no discomfort or downtime
•  Body contouring and cellulite reduction for waist, abdomen, peri-umbilical area, buttocks, hips, and inner and outer thighs.

To treat lax skin and cellulite, the thermal energy must reach the collagen located in the dermis and in the perilobular connective tissue in the sub-dermal layer – which is something that certain types of radio frequency energy can do.  The heat penetration achieved by EndyMed’s proprietary 3DEEP RF technology reaches into the deep dermis and sub-dermal layers to provide effective collagen tightening and remodeling. The effects of dermal heating include an immediate effect on collagen structure via the stimulation of neocollagenesis.

For more information, go see our Facebook page!

Radio Frequency Fractional Skin Resurfacing provides a smoother, brighter skin surface and reduced hyper-pigmentation. Simultaneously, volumetric deep dermal heating reaches the collagen fibers causing an immediate and long term tightening effect with a perceived reduction in the depth of atropic acne scars. 3DEEP Fractional Skin Resurfacing effectively treats all skin layers for an optimal result.

For many years, because of the high risk/benefit ratio of laser skin resurfacing, less invasive approaches for treating photo-aging have been desirable. Now, non-ablative fractional skin rejuvenation has become very popular, as it involves little or no downtime and delivers great results for mild to moderate skin wrinkling and dyschromia.

By splitting the laser into a 7 x 7 or 9 x 9 array of pixels, we can effectively only treats 15% – 20% of the skin. The laser creates an ablative thermal channel at the pixel area — a micro-injury — without disturbing the surrounding tissue. Those micro-injured areas start the process of healing and the untreated area acts as a reservoir for rapid restoration. As collagen remodels, skin tightens and texture improves.

Radio Frequency Fractional Skin Resurfacing is very safe and effective to treat the entire face as well as the chest, neck and hands. This procedure provides great results on mild to medium wrinkling with little or no downtime. This quick treatment time, an easy in and out procedure is performed with no anesthesia, gels or other disposables!

Everyone wants to look younger, but not everyone wants to go under the knife for it. And not everyone has the time for that! But no worries; The Skin Clinic, Inc. offers Medical Microdermabrasion, a new procedure that gets you in and out with no down time.

Microdermabrasion is a a cosmetic procedure in which all or part of the stratum corneum is removed by light abrasion, used to improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin, treat hyperpigmentation, and reduce or remove scars. This technique that uses a mechanical medium for exfoliation to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells from the epidermis. It is a non-invasive procedure that uses adjustable suction to improve the efficacy of the abrasion tool. A medical microdermabrasion is more superficial than ordinary dermabrasion and can be performed in less than an hour. The person may resume ordinary daily activities immediately afterward. Microdermabrasion works best for superficial lesions such as fine lines and age spots; deeper lesions require other treatments.

Dermabrasion is generally used to refer to a surgical procedure that abrades away the top layers of the skin. The term microdermabrasion generally refers to a non-surgical procedure that abrades less deeply than dermabrasion. Although the mechanism of the two procedures is similar, the difference in the depth of the abrasion results in different recovery times. Dermabrasion recovery time may take as much as several weeks to several months whereas microdermabrasion recovery time may be as little as one to two days.
Microdermabrasion may be performed to decrease the appearance of superficial hyperpigmentation, photo-damage, diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and shallow acne scars. Removing the dead skin will aid in the penetration of skin care products by up to 50% and makeup will go on much more smoothly.

History and Research on Pellet Hormone Replacement Therapy
In 1935, hormone pellet therapy was created in Europe to help alleviate the problems women experienced due to hormone production cessation or menopause. This modality was then brought to the United States in 1939 by Dr. R. B. Greenblatt. He introduced it to the Menopausal Clinic, where it is used today more than half a century after its introduction. Since then, Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy in pellet form has been positively researched and accepted as the most effective delivery system available for men and women suffering from the side effects of menopause or andropause (male equivalent of menopause). When the body is in need of estrogen or testosterone, these tiny implants, placed under the skin, are found to consistently release small, physiologic doses of hormones providing optimal therapy. For decades, these positive research studies have been reported in respected medical journals around the world.

In addition, human identical hormones have long been preferred in Japan, France and other European countries. Many women and men in this country and others have now switched from synthetic to bio-identical hormone therapy.
Without hormone replacement therapy, menopause and andropause are inevitable. As you age, your body generates lower and lower levels of important hormones. Without its formerly healthy levels of hormones, your body becomes more vulnerable to age related diseases like osteoporosis, heart disease, cardiovascular disease and other debilitating ailments. Not to mention disturbing symptoms like hot flashes, memory lapses, sexual dysfunction, lack of sleep, depression, fatigue and so forth are also present. It makes you yearn for times past and we can give that feeling again with natural hormone replacement therapy.

Symptom Free with Hormone Pellet Therapy
Now envision a new you hormonally balanced. You’re feeling vibrant, energetic and even sexy again. You sleep better, your headaches are gone and so is your grumpy attitude. Everyone around you notices that you seem more positive, more like your old self. Our bio-identical hormone pellet therapy can return you to hormonal balance, well-being and the physiologic state of your thirties.

Pellet therapy uses hormones derived from natural plant sources to replicate the body’s normal hormonal levels. Patients have found that bio-identical hormone replacement therapy with pellet implants is extremely effective. Implants, placed under the skin, consistently release small, physiologic doses of hormones providing optimal therapy.

For more information and how you can make a consultation, see our Website or Facebook page.

Our official opening date is Tuesday August 20, 2011! We’re offering tours of our new office on 400 W. 4th Street right next to the Bank One Towers in downtown Fort Worth!

Laser Hair Removal is the process of selective photothermolysis, the matching of a specific wavelength of light and pulse duration to obtain optimal effect on a targeted tissue with minimal effect on surrounding tissue. The skin has four stages: Early Anagen, Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen. Laser hair removal only affects the Anagen stage (actively growing hair), therefore, approximately 25% of hair is removed with each treatment. That means that the usual time between treatments are three to eight weeks apart depending on the body area and the hair cycle length for that area.

The Skin Clinic, Inc. uses Alma Laser’s Pain-Free, Hair-Free laser. The system’s patented technology and IN Motion protocol safely and gently heats the targeted area. Pulses of energy gradually heat the follicles in the skin’s sub dermal layer. An additional cooling mechanism further ensures the surface of your skin stays cool and comfortable throughout your treatment.

Has the sun kissed your skin a little to much? Sunburns happen when living tissue, like your skin, gets overexposed to UV rays, leaving skin red, sore, and sometimes blistered. This is the leading cause of primarily non-malignant skin tumors…NOT something you ever want to deal with.

We know that it’s hot outside and being in the pool is a great way to cool off; it is summer, you know! We can’t stress how important sunscreen is, but sometimes it’s just not enough or you forget. When you do get burned, here are some tricks and tips that help relieve the burn and heal your skin.

• Take Advil or an aspirin as soon as you can. The anti-inflammatory medicine will stop inflammation and will help with the redness and soreness.

• Take multiple showers and baths. The cool water will feel great on the burned skin and you’ll wash away any chlorine or salt that’s still stuck on there. Those can dry out your skin and make burns even worse.

• Moisturize yourself with aloe vera or any creamy lotion. The moisture will sooth the skin and prevent peeling.

• Do NOT pop or scratch blisters. This is just screaming for it to get infected and then you have a real mess on your hands. Apply ointment to the blisters to fight any infections you may already be prone to.

• Give your tight clothes a rest. Wear loose clothing so your skin has a chance to breath and feel free.

Sunburns are never fun to deal with, and sometimes they just happen (hey, sometimes we forget to reapply, too, when we’re out having fun with friends!), but the sooner you take care of them, the sooner they’ll heal and you’re skin will get back to how it should be. For more information about sunburns and, check out Women’s Health magazine and go to our Facebook page to post any questions or concerns!

Sugar Face Scrub: Sugar is a great natural exfoliant! It scrubs deep down in the pores without tearing the skin. Stir 2 tablespoons of sugar in 3 tablespoons of warm water until it dissolves. Rub that on your face for a few minutes and then wash away with warm water.

Banana Face Mask: Bananas are FULL of nutrients that moisturize your skin! Just mash up a medium-sized banana into a paste and apply it to your face. Leave it on for 10-20 minutes and then rinse off with cold water.

http://recipes.wikia.com/wiki/Banana

Avocado and Honey Mask: This is especially great for older skin with small wrinkles and dry skin. Mix 1/2 avocado and 1/2 cup of honey together. Apply to face and neck, let sit for 10 minutes and rinse with cool water.

For More scrubs and masks, ask our experts on our Facebook page or check this DIY site!

6 – 8 glasses of water. Fluids not only helps to moisturize the skin, it keeps your body hydrated and flushed. Spread the glasses out throughout the day so your body is constantly rehydrated.

1 daily multivitamin. Science and articles show that vitamins help your body run smoothly and boosts immune systems, but did you know they also help the formation of new cells? And increases the formation of hemoglobin that helps with those under eye dark circles? Vitamin C is essential for collagen production and Vitamin E is used against free radicals!

Whole grains. They are packed full with fiber and antioxidants that fight free radicals that break down collagen. It’s as easy as changing your break to whole grain or eating whole grain pasta!

Fish. They are the best source for omega-3 fatty acids, which have a number of health benefits including decreasing skin inflammation, adds moisture, and improves texture!

Acai, pomegranates, purple carrots, black grapes, and beets. All of these are high in antioxidants and help maintain blood flow in the skin. You will find this in most deep purple and red foods.

1)   Clean. Your face needs to be washed twice a day and with a cleanser at least once a day – especially at night when you’re washing away the makeup, dirt and toxins from the day, and oil buildup. Use an exfoliating cleanser once a day to remove the top layer of dead skin cells and reveal the newer, fresh skin.

2)   Tone. Toner will help improve texture and take the cleansing of the pores one step further.

3)   Moisturize. Even if you have oily skin, use an oil-free moisturizer. You skin needs hydration! If your skin is feeling tight, it’s craving moisture. Just be careful not to over moisturize – you don’t want to clog those pores you just cleaned out!

4)   Sunscreen. Sunscreen. Sunscreen. You have to protect yourself from the sun’s effects. Your face gets the most sun exposure so you need to protect in accordance to that. Sun is one of the top causes of wrinkles and no one I know actually wants those.

One more secret: exercise. It keeps your body in shape, including your skin. Any movement will increase blood flow and that means more radiant skin.
