The
Anti-Aging Clinic skincare products are excellent for
pre and post laser patients as well as permanent every day use for skin
rejuvenation.
To
understand the risks of medium resurfacing, you should think of the
procedure as a controlled surgical wound, not as a “spa treatment.” For it
to be successful, penetration must be carefully controlled, and then the
skin must heal well. The two types of lasers currently in common use for
medium resurfacing are the erbium YAG and the carbon dioxide CO2 lasers.
The
possibility of scarring and the risk of infection are present not only with
medium resurfacing but with nonablative laser or IPL treatments as well.
It is
absolutely imperative that good pre and post skincare be provided to the
patient and for maximum results there must be added antioxidant nutrition to
assist the immune and healing systems of the body.
The science
behind the Anti-Aging Clinic skincare and how it relates to laser procedures
is informative for the patient as well as the doctor; for laser treatments
as well as every day premium skin rejuvenation. Skincare regimen from the
following;
ANTI-AING CLINIC’S Copper Base Products:
The dermis
(lower layer) is produced largely by the fibroblasts that produce the
collagens and elastins, which make skin very durable, from within.
The basal or
cell division layer, this layer is just above the basement membrane and the
dermis; it is a single layer of cells that undergo cell division to renew
the upper layers of the epidermis.
The most
abundant cell type of the epidermis (upper layer) is the keratinocyte, that
provide some of the rigidity of the outer layers of the skin
The
T-lymphocytes are immune-system cells, which ultimately identify a substance
as foreign or dangerous to the body.
As we age, our bodies
become slower to produce collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (GAG's -
the cement that bonds tissue components together).
The human skin remodeling copper-peptide
binds to the GHK in the blood and is
one of the body's
natural carriers of copper, these specific amino acid chains bind the copper
and protect it so that it can get to where it needs to go and then be
recognized by the body as a natural transporter and release the copper.
Copper salts are generally irritating and not easily utilized by the body
without the proprietary formulation. Copper in this formulation begins to
rebuild the damage age and the environment have caused.
The second
generation of copper peptides used in the Anti-Aging Clinic products should
have a higher chance of success.
Dr. Lester
Packer (University of California, Berkeley) has published extensively on the
role played by antioxidants such as Vitamin E and skin protection.
Free radicals
begin to form in the skin and cause various types of cellular damage,
including lipid peroxidation and oxidative modification of skin proteins and
cellular DNA.
The only types
of copper peptides that have tissue regenerative effects are those formed
with copper 2 ions (copper +2) that are in the Anti-Aging Clinic Copper
products.
Skin
regenerating copper peptides are the body's signal for skin regeneration and
remodeling.
REPAIRING SKIN
WITH COPPER:
1.
Increases collagen synthesis producing firmer skin.
2.
Increases elastin synthesis.
3.
Increases synthesis of gly·cos·a·mi·no·gly·can’s (GAG's) and
pro-teo-gly-cans - the skin's hydrating proteins.
4.
Stimulates new capillary formation for better cellular nutrition.
5.
Attracts macrophages to the area of application – to repair cells.
6.
Activates metalloproteinase, an antioxidant, to remove damaged
protein.
7.
Suppresses production of TGF-beta, a scar promoter.
8.
Blocks release of oxidative iron from ferratin.
9.
Blocks damaging actions of Interleukin-1.
10.
Activates inert superoxide Dismutase, an antioxidant.
We believe, as
John Ruskin did:
“That there is
hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and
sell a little cheaper” so don’t be fooled, our products are formulated for
tissue rebuilding;
There is no
other known molecule that possesses the multiple skin repair, scar
reduction, and anti-inflammatory actions of copper peptides that the
Anti-Aging Clinic’s skincare is based on.
Most
over–the-counter skincare products do not penetrate into the lower dermis or
outer epidermis to improve the skin’s elastin and collagen destroyed by
aging and exposure to sun. The Anti-Aging Clinic’s 24-hour home Skincare
Management System however, penetrates the deepest layers of the skin to help
eliminate the following:
-
Photo damage.
-
Acne
scarring.
-
Fine
lines and wrinkles.
-
Hyper-pigmentation.
-
Dehydration.
Our skincare
program accomplishes this by utilizing the micronutrients.
Below is a
summary outlining the product, ingredients and therapeutic effects of our
home skincare, necessary for all skin types pre and post Laser treatments
or, just for premium skincare, without laser:
The Anti-Aging Clinic’s
Alpha Hydroxy Deep Therapeutic Cleanser.

This natural cleanser deeply cleans blocked pores, to remove excessive oils
and dead skin cells to promote normal skin sleuthing. Our organic or fruit
acids are milder than mineral acids, and gentler on the skin. These organic
acids and specifically the alpha-hydroxy
acids (AHA) hydrate and moisturize the skin, making it flexible and less
susceptible to wrinkles. Natural acids also accelerate cell proliferation
within the deeper basal layer of the skin (sleuthing), creating rapid
exfoliating action and skin cell regeneration.
Chemically
speaking, an alpha-hydroxy acid is a low molecular weight organic
acid. Most people associate the word "acid" with potent and dangerous acids
like hydrochloric and sulfuric. These acids are called mineral acids and are
indeed potent and dangerous. Most are strong enough to dissolve metals. An
organic acid however, differs greatly from a mineral acid. Organic acids are
much, much milder than mineral acids and occur quite commonly in everyday
life. Acetic acid, for example, is the organic acid that gives vinegar its
characteristic sour taste.
Alpha-hydroxy
acids are commonly found and isolated from fruits of all sorts. That is why
they are referred to as fruit acids.
Long before
the existence, of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA's) were known, they were
unknowingly being used as an ingredient for improving the condition of skin.
Egyptian women took baths in sour milk in order to improve their skin.
French women in the court of Louis XIV washed their faces with old wine for
the same reasons. Old fashioned facial masks made from fruit, honey or
yogurt were also unknowingly taking advantage of AHAs as their active
ingredients.
When applied to
the skin, these hydrated AHAs act to increase the water content of the skin
and thus moisturize the outer layer of the epidermis (the stratum corneum)
and consequently make the skin softer and more flexible.
Additionally,
AHAs act by reducing corneocyte adhesion and accelerating cell proliferation
within the deeper basal layer of the skin (4,5,6). This exfoliating action
of AHAs occurs as a result of their ability to break the bonds between dead
skin cells that form at the surface of the skin. Skin normally has a dead
layer of cells at its surface (the corneocyte layer), and AHAs can speed up
the normal process of skin cell regeneration and sloughing.
The Anti-Aging Clinic’s
Rosehip Seed Soap Cleanser.

Especially formulated for “sensitive skin,” this is a natural vegetable oil
based cleanser made of Rosehip Seed Oil and other essential oils, and
Seaweed Extract to hydrate and rejuvenate skin with natural vitamins and
nutrients.
Our
Rosehip Oil is extracted from wild plants growing amidst the valleys of the
Southern Andes Mountains in Chile. The oil possesses a high content of
unsaturated essential fatty acids, namely oleic (15-20 percent), and
linoleic (44-50 percent). They are called “essential " because our body is
not able to reproduce them.
Gentle Make-up Remover:

This is a
gentle highly effective make up remover and can be used anytime, when
necessary.
Ingredients:
Deionized Water, Butylenes Glycol, Glycerin, Lauroamhocarboxglycinate,
Sodium Trideceth Sulfate, Phytelene of Camomile, Citric Acid, Hexylene
Glycol, Aloe, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben Tetrasodium
EDTA.
Apply to cotton
pad and gently whisk away makeup across forehead, cheeks and chin. Turn pad
and gently remove eye make-up. Follow with AHA 10% Cleanser or Rose Hip
Seed Soap.
The Anti- Aging Clinic’s
Herbal Toner.

Ingredients are Purified Water, Witch Hazel, Hyaluronic Acid and herbs, used
to remove dull skin cells and refresh the face.
By washing the
skin with a skin friendly acidic solution or AHA’s or Rose Hipps in lieu of
soaps, it is possible to remove dirt and oil without completely stripping
the skin’s therapeutic and protective, hydrolipidic layer, which the acidic
quality of the skin creates; referred to as the acid mantle. The pH value
serves to differentiate between acids and alkalis. To protect the skin
against infection, irritation, allergic reactions, and dehydration, the skin
maintains an average pH value of 5.5. This pH is achieved by the body's own
natural acidic secretions, such as perspiration, sebum (fatty secretions)
and various hormones. However, alkaline solutions such as sodium carbonate
and sodium palmitate, two popular bases contained in ordinary body soap have
a pH value greater than “7”. Conversely, acidic solutions such as acetic
acid, lactic acid, and carbonic acid, range between 0 and 7 on the pH scale.
Once the skin’s naturally occurring hydrolipidic layer has been compromised
by the use of common household soaps or to extent that proper AHA face
cleanser do, the skin has lost all or part of its defense against infection.
It will take the most resilient skin two hours to recuperate from the
negative chemical effects of a typical daily shower. On the other hand,
sensitive skin can take as long as 36 hours to re-establish its normal pH of
5.5. Our natural Herbal Toner restores the
pH or hydrogen ion concentration in skin, by regulating the balance
of acid and alkali on the face. It also eliminates bacterial and fungal
growths.
The Anti-Aging Clinic’s Eye
Repair.

The
skin around the eyes is especially difficult to keep young looking. It is
the thinnest skin in the body and year’s of sun damage, cosmetic
applications containing fragrance, dye and metal salts, can produce
extensive skin damage and sagging. Copper Eye Repair is gentle around the
eye. It is an anti-wrinkle cream containing a special copper blend designed
to help your skin's regenerative processes in this delicate area. The eye
repair cream also assists the Non-surgical Face-lift vacuum technique to
gently revitalize tissue and stimulate microcirculation under the eye where
pooling of blood takes place to cause dark circles.
The Anti-Aging Clinic’s
Copper Serum Max.

This
concentrated product requires only five to ten drops per application, gently
blended into the skin each morning and evening if the Copper Serum Max is
not elected.
The Anti-Aging Clinic SKIN
HUMIDIFIER.

This is an
oil-free moisturizer for all skin types for daily use. It contains 100
percent pure Hyaluronic Acid, scientifically proven to stimulate new cell
growth, and should be used especially after exfoliating the skin.
Hyaluronic
Acid plays an important role in tissue hydration, lubrication, and function
at the cellular level. Hyaluronic Acid can hold 70 percent more water than
any other natural substance. Its hydrating properties produce increased
smoothness and softening.
Like copper, HA
occurs naturally in the body. It is a lubricant for the heart valves and
found in the spongy tissues of bones. This acid provides a barrier against
the spread of infection and assists in erasing fine facial lines and
wrinkles without producing scarring.
SPECTRUM SUNBLOCK.

Clients can
customize the application of sun protection by using this product. It
provides optimum sun protection and is100 percent Pure Titanium Dioxide.
Add a few drops to a dime size portion of moisturizer and blend in the palm
of the hand before applying to face and neck.
The sun protection factor “SPF” of a sunscreen is a laboratory
measure of its effectiveness. The higher the SPF, the more protection a
sunscreen offers against the Ultraviolet type B radiation that causes
sunburn. SPF 15 means that a user can remain in the sun without burning, 15
times longer, than they could without wearing the sun block.
But the SPF is an imperfect measurement of skin
damage set up by the FDA because of unrealistic claims from manufacturers
such as, all day protection that is not attainable. Also because the very
common Ultraviolet type A ray from the sun, which does not cause reddening
or pain, causes invisible damage leading to skin cancer and wrinkles that
some sunscreen often times do not address. The
FDA’s allowable amount of SPF for Titanium dioxide is up to 25 percent and
is the highest. Our Pure Titanium Dioxide is a full spectrum
sunblock formula; which means it blocks both UVA and UVB sunrays.
The following
are the FDA allowable active ingredients for sunblock products:
p-Aminobenzoic
acid (PABA) - up to 15 percent.
Avobenzone - up
to 3 percent.
Cinoxate - up
to 3 percent.
Dioxybenzone -
up to 3 percent.
Homosalate - up
to 15 percent.
Menthyl
anthranilate - up to 5 percent.
Octocrylene -
up to 10 percent.
Octyl
methoxycinnamate - up to 7.5 percent.
Octyl
salicylate - up to 5 percent.
Oxybenzone - up
to 6 percent.
Padimate O - up
to 8 percent.
Phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid - up to 4 percent.
Sulisobenzone -
up to 10 percent.
Titanium
dioxide - up to 25 percent.
Trolamine
salicylate - up to 12 percent.
Zinc oxide - up
to 25 percent.
“Nujúvenate”.

One
of our most exciting, break-through products; this is a safe, natural
alternative to Botox® injections.
“Nujúvenate”
relaxes the muscles
instead of paralyzing them. It works with a unique anti-wrinkle hexapeptide
that effectively reduces the depth of fine lines and wrinkles by inhibiting
the contraction of neurotransmitters that stimulate movement of facial
muscles that cause wrinkles. This product should be used after the toner and
before copper applications.
Our
“Nujúvenate” contains argireline. Argireline has been shown to moderate excessive
catecholamines release." Catecholamines are enzymes released by the brain
and act as a neurotransmitter signaling muscles to contract such as for
facial expressions. “Nujúvenate”
interrupts these signals, relaxing the
muscles and minimizing and softening the appearance of fine lines and
wrinkles.
Argireline is
synthetic neuropeptides produced by
Lipotec, SA (Spain). This (acetyl
hexapeptide-3) pales in its results when compared to a syringe of
Botox®
toxin-induced paralysis but
“Nujúvenate” can prolong its effects by interfering
with the nerve signals that are beginning to awaken from the toxin
paralysis. Apply to clean skin in the morning and evening.
Derma Moist.

Why take antioxidants? Antioxidants are our body's
front line defense against disease. Our metabolism creates damaging free
radicals, and we are exposed to other free radicals such as from smoking and
the environment. Free radicals are unstable and highly reactive atoms that
have at least one unpaired electron. Free radicals roam throughout the body
causing damage to our cells by stealing stable electron partners from other
cells, to cause further instability and damage. This cell damage can impair
our body's ability to fight against illness. High amounts of
antioxidants maintained within the body can reduce oxidative stress caused
by free radicals.
Taking our Anti-Aging supplements along with following our special
Anti-Aging guidelines on proper nutrition is essential to maintaining good
health and beauty. Our program advocates good eating habits with proper
food combinations, leading to proper digestion.
Properly broken down nutrients absorbed from the small intestine create
important fuel in the mitochondria, the structure of a cell's power sources
that lead to good health and beauty. Inside these organelle, "respiratory
chain" or "electron transport chain", energy is created through conversion
of oxygen to water by the addition of hydrogen. These protein complexes
produce Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).
When free radicals damage the mitochondrial inner membrane this creates a
positive feedback loop for increased free radical creation. This exothermic
reaction would consume our cells if left unchecked. The body’s CoQ10
neutralizes these superoxide free radicals. But with age, poor habits and
harmful environmental influences, this antioxidant activity declines in the
body, resulting in increased production of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide,
which leads to diseased states.
