Wow, Xxx name. Nice results early on! You can use it daily for about 2 months and then go into maintenance of two-three times per week. You'll use it 15-20 minutes each day. Please send more picks after a month. I'd love to see your end result. Amazing!

(He replied) Isn't that crazy the change? The second I used it I could feel my skin pull up. I also used my own electrode gel which seems to work better on my skin. The other stuff dries out too quickly ..Sure use my images just crop from the bottom lip downward . :) you forgot to tell me how often to use, how long should the be? Should I use it every day for a month and then 3 times a week? That is the only problem with the directions.
Thanks<br />

<span style="font-size: 17px;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">The term 'inflammaging' is changing the face of skincare. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 17px;">'Inflammaging' describes skin aging induced by chronic (persistent) inflammation.</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 17px;"> An example of inflammaging is using products such as Retin A and Retinoids daily that cause long term inflammation on the skin. After years of use, some Retin A users start to see diminishing results and lackluster looking skin. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 17px;">Other harsh, invasive treatments such as high powered lasers at the dermatologist's office (IPL, Yag, Erbium, etc.) can also cause a hardening or scarring of the skin. This is so prevalent that many plastic surgeons refuse to work on clients who have had previous repeated laser treatments. The surgeons know that a facelift would not "lay properly" because the skin is hardened or scarred due to inflammaging from the repeated laser work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 17px;">In my practice, I use gentle, no-downtime treatments that I know the skin loves. I gently coax the skin into a healthier state through non ablative (non-cutting or damaging) microcurrent, LED light and other progressive rather than aggressive treatments. The professional products I use are full of antinflammatory and antioxidant ingredients your skin loves. After a treatment, you can be sure your skin will look better than it did when you walked in. That's my promise!</span></div>

What did I do?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
A coconut enzyme peel, followed by <a data-mce-href="http://indyesthetician.com/new-facial-cupping/" href="http://indyesthetician.com/new-facial-cupping/">pulsed vacuum facial cupping</a>, red <a data-mce-href="http://indyesthetician.com/led-photofacials/" href="http://indyesthetician.com/led-photofacials/">LED light</a> and <a data-mce-href="http://indyesthetician.com/jade-microcurrent/" href="http://indyesthetician.com/jade-microcurrent/">Microcurrent</a> facial toning. The result?</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Here's what the client said:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<a data-mce-href="https://indyesthetician.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/image4.jpg" href="https://indyesthetician.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/image4.jpg"><span style="color: black;"><img alt="image" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-847" data-mce-src="https://indyesthetician.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/image4.jpg?w=300" height="145" src="https://indyesthetician.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/image4.jpg?w=300" style="height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%;" width="300" /></span></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The reason it made such a difference is that this treatment effected the face on a few different levels. To work on rough skin texture without over drying it I chose the coconut papaya enzyme peel. It's gentle, effective and slow acting. I can do the facial cupping at the same time. The facial cupping virtually "sucks" and drains all the lymph and extra cellular fluids (read: puffiness, double chins, bagginess and jowly-ness, etc.) from the face. This renders the face and neck looking slim, taught and svelte. The red LED light increases the skin's cellular activity to provide lasting results of the facial (increases cellular turnover 5-7 fold). The Microcurrent lifts and tones facial muscles to lift cheeks, eyes, necks and foreheads. The result is a work-of-art facial that lasts a few weeks. Better still, when done in a series of 6-12 twice weekly treatments (depending on age and amount of wrinkling or drooping) the results are cumulative and last longer between treatments. Facial muscle memory returns to a more youthful state. Facial lymph drainage returns to it's quick, youthful rate and drainage pattern. The skin thickens and its tone evens. End result: a beautiful, even-toned, lifted, sculpted face that is always photoready and never artificial looking. Selfie, anyone?</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Indy Esthetician and Microcurrent Pro Update: Ok, I'm such a goof! I've been doing lots of Dot matrix Radio frequency treatments to myself and although my skin was looking better, it looked a bit lackluster. I recently read an article that said the average American diet, no matter how healthy, was found to be deficient in vitamin B complex, C, D and magnesium. A bell rang in my head saying "you forgot your vitamin C!" And it's true, I had run out of my Image Hydrating Anti Aging serum (a best seller that packs in THREE types of highly absorbable and effective vitamin C). I put it on that night and viola! The next morning my wattle was back UP there and the rest of my skin, especially my cheek area (where we start to lose volume at my, eh hum, "advanced" age of 45) was fuller and less dry looking. If you don't have some form of vitamin C in your Skincare routine (I'm talking to you, Nerium users) RUN, don't walk to buy Image's Vital C serum, Creme or Intense Creme. You WILL notice a difference right away. And don't forget, vitamin C plays a HUGE role in collagen synthesis and without it, your skin will not thrive!!!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This blog has veered from its original intent to spotlight inspirational people who followed their inner wisdom to great success. I started writing about my own interests which have moved toward career coaching as my life coaching practice has evolved. Now the people who inspire me are those who left their jobs in corporate America to do what they love.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">My latest inspiraton is Christine Byer, owner of Christine Byer Esthetics. I met her at church. She has an adorable daughter named Cici who brings smiles to everyone's face at the church! We finally officially met at the Easter Sunday service this year and made a date to meet for coffee a few weeks ago. In keeping with trying to support local coffeehouses, we decided to meet at Perk Up in Broad Ripple. Part of me doens't want it to get busy because it's such a lovely oasis for me during the day. But it's a great place with amazing coffee!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Christine told me about how she had worked in her early career in sales and marketing for several companies in Texas and Florida. Like many of us, she wondered if there could be more to her life than her career was offering to her. She graduated from Indiana University and was surprised to find herself considering beauty school for a new career. She remembers being the "Groomer" in her family that included 5 sisters. She was in charge of hair and makeup and many other chores to make her family look their best. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Flash forward 15 years later and Christine is now a master esthetician and considered an industry leader in many skincare modalities, including photorejuvenation and microcurrent technology. She explained how microcurrent works to me so well that even I want to get a treatment! She places electrodes on designated areas on the face and neck based on each client's unique facial characteristics. A small electrical current is given so that the muscles of the face are strengthened. It also increases the production of collagen and elastin. This can reduce the appearance of wrinkles. She calls it personal training for the face!</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Her advice to anyone considering a career change? "I would say, not to be trite or cheesy, but follow your heart because that's where your passion is. Not all days in your new field of choice will be rosy. It's passion that carries you through. Many months into my new career, I made lots of mistakes (going out on my own too soon, choosing bad business partners, not marketing enough in person, etc.) but it was my love of esthetics and all things skincare that helped me get up in the morning and find my next client. I say, do your research, tap into your passion and go for it!"</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><em><b>Did you know?</b></em><br /><em>Deeply heating the skin with Radio Frequency waves causes skin tightening and is the gold standard for nonsurgical facelifting</em></span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">When Thermage came out with their original radio frequency (RF) skin tightening machine over ten years ago, it was a tremendous success. Since then, many other manufacturers have come out with different variations of RF technology with varying results. I have found that combining Fractional RF (explained below) with LED and Microcurrent makes for a fantastic, no downtime, <strong>photo-ready face </strong>that stays plump and lifted longer. In fact, it's such a terrific combo that I have it on sale until July 31st. Purchase a microcurrent, LED and RF treatment for only $175. You save $50!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><em>Fractional</em> RF treatments are relaxing and effective. While regular RF is painful and usually requires a dental anesthesia block for client comfort, fractionated RF is not painful. You only feel a slight heating sensation on your skin. With regular RF, you feel the full blast of heat from the treatment head, because deep heat is required to get collagen contraction and thus renewal. Fractionated RF's treatment head has an array of 96 holes in it so the full impact of the heat is not felt, but the skin still gets a full treatment. The results? Lifted, plump, tighter skin with less wrinkles without the pain.</span></div>

<br />
<div>
If you're like me, your skin has been feeling pretty dry lately. Cold weather and dry heat form the perfect recipe for dry, itchy winter skin. Here are some tips to help keep you skin moist, comfortable and fresh looking this winter.<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
1. Take warm, not hot showers. Your skin and your hair will thank you. I know on a cold morning, there is nothing more satisfying than a hot shower. However, this is one of the worst things you can do for dry skin. Water that is too hot only makes skin feel more dry and itchy. Hot water also makes your hair look dull and dry.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Get a humidifier. Heating systems in homes and offices dry out the air while they keep us warm. This causes dry skin for most people (and pets!) A humidifier can help bring back healthy moisture levels.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
3. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! It helps heal dry skin and keep it feeling comfortable. The best time to apply moisturizer is right after a shower, while your skin is still moist.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
4. Drink a lot of water--it's important in all seasons and helps keep us healthy. In the winter, the water you drink contributes valuable moisture to your skin. You may find that if you drink six to eight glasses of water a day, your skin isn't nearly as dry as it used to be.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
5. Add healthy fats to your diet. Olive oil, avocado, flaxseed, fatty fish (salmon especially) and nuts are all good sources. You can also take fish oil supplements. (Put fish oil capsules in the freezer so you don't burp them up later!)<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";">You know what I’m talking about. You wake up and look in the mirror and your skin just doesn’t have that glow you crave. Despite all my products, I sometimes feel this way myself. What do I do? I treat myself like a movie star getting ready for the Oscars! What’s an Oscar worthy treatment? (No regular facial will do!) I break out the big guns: the Jade Microcurrent, AKA the facial muscle lifter. </span></span></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></span></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";">What does microcurrent do? It lifts those sunken cheeks, depuffs those eyes, lifts that sagging jowl and firms up my neck. In a word: MAGIC! Yes, I know, I get so excited about this treatment because it works! THIS is the treatment all the stars get done before the Oscars. They’re not running for Botox two days before, they are getting microcurrent!</span></span></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></span></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";">What exactly is microcurrent? It’s a very low electric current that mimics the body’s natural biocurrent. The current passively “exercises” the muscle and tones the face. You may remember those hokey Abtronics TV commercials from years ago (yes, I bought one too!): Super buff gym rats with six-pack abs poured into electronic belts that contract their muscles to within an inch of their life. Microcurrent is like this, by <strong><em>WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY</em></strong> more elegant. You don’t feel the current, and the treatment is super relaxing. Most of my clients are lulled asleep, and wake up to the most refreshed looking face.</span></span></a></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 100%;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Ok, I’m off to give myself an Oscar worthy treatment!</span></span></a></span></div>

As much as I wish this existed the truth is no cream will fix those wrinkles caused by forceful or sagging muscles underneath the skin. (There are some that claim a Botox-like effect, but so far I am not impressed!)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"> </span> <br />
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial;">Let me explain why a cream can't cure all facial wrinkles past, say age 30. Facial muscles act differently that other muscles in our body.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial;">Body/skeletal muscles often are matched in pairs that have opposite actions. For example, the abductor and adductor muscles of the arm move the arm away from and towards the torso, respectively, and other pairs of muscles flex and extend the arm or leg. <br /><br />Facial muscles of expression <em><strong>do not</strong></em> have such an arrangement. Instead, the facial muscles often have no oppositional muscles and the facial tissue they affect returns to a resting state <em>because the tissue resists deformation (or turgor)</em>. When muscles produce opposite facial appearances (e.g., raising versus lowering the lip corners), they do not have the oppositional arrangement typical of skeletal muscles, but instead attach to different bones or tissues. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial;">Translation: <strong>as your skin ages, it's ability to stabilize the muscle, or bounce back from a facial expression gets less and less. AND you get ...wrinkles!</strong></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;">So what do I do about this? Two things: Microcurrent and facial exercises</span><span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"><img align="right" alt="" height="173" src="https://app.icontact.com/icp/loadimage.php/mogile/141171/6eda338ebfd05cbe30e0cea45cae2ea1/image/gif" width="264" /></span><span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;">, in <em>ADDITION</em> to all those fun, amazing, sometimes expensive skincare creams. Microcurrent is explained in detail <a href="https://christinebyer.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. The facial exercises I do are mostly for my neck and chin area. Please <a href="mailto:christine-byer@austin.rr.com?subject=Face%20and%20Neck%20Exercises">email</a> support@christinebyer.com or call me 512 562-0222 for an appointment.</span></div>

Well, I'm not sure why she needed a model because her work is already top notch!<br />
<br />
Before getting lash extensions I thought "I'd never do that! False lashes hurt my eyes, and I don't want to look like a stripper!" UNTRUE and UNTRUE! I can't even feel these lashes. And I look so natural that it took a few minutes for my hubby to notice. (He can't help it, he's a guy!)<br />

A small but impossible to ignore study done on the side effects of sunscreen determined that the top chemicals used in sunscreens actually CAUSE oxidative stress (free radicals = bad) on the skin when exposed to UV.<br />
<br />
What did the top professional lines do about this? They included VITAMINS in their formulas to conteract/squelch free radical activity. One of my favorite lines of sunscreen for this reason is by Dermalogica.

Intuitively I asked him, "Do you smoke?" although I'd never seen him smoke nor did he smell of it. He said no, the breakouts were from drinking alcohol over the weekend. Later, as we were leaving the salon I saw my coworker from a distance tilt his head and LIGHT a CIGARETTE! I knew it! His face couldn't lie.<br /><br />Chinese facial diagnosis is an interesting skill I've honed over the years. It is very helpful when approaching clients new and old. I can tell if they don't drink enough water (under the eyes=kidneys), are constipated (parts of chin=digestion), have hemorrhoids (cleft in chin), or are midcycle (ovaries = side of mouth). The list goes on and on.<br /><br />Here's a map to have some fun with your friends.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Photo courtesy of Rob Sullivan at </span><a href="mailto:coderot@gmail.com"><span style="font-size:78%;">coderot@gmail.com</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">.<br /></span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><br /></div><a target="_blank" name="article2"></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong></strong></span><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="color:#ffffff;">Have you ever tried...Dermarolling</span> </strong></span></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong></strong><div align="justify"><br /></span>Some of my twitter friends are freaked out just by looking at the <a title="My favorite ebay supplier of dermarollers" href="http://cgi.ebay.com/DERMA-ROLLER-1-0mm-Wrinkles-Stretch-Marks-Dermaroller_W0QQitemZ270322990300QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSkin_Care_test?hash=item3ef0817cdc&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A4%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A2%7C294%3A200" target="_blank">dermaroller, A.K.A. the medieval torture device</a>.

My favorites have included infrared facial masks, hot/cold Jade spoons and microcurrent machines that connect 50 electrodes to the face at one time (The last one left me wondering. Is this a hospital or a skincare show?)<br /><br />As hokey as some of these may seem, I have to admit I'm a skincare gadget junky. Of all the gadgets that I own, I absolutely could not live without my Infrared Photon Light. Backed by tons of science, including NASA studies, infrared light treatments are regularly used by dermatologists, plastic surgeons and estheticians alike. My "wonder light" calms redness in my rosacea clients, heals blemishes and past acne scarring in my acne clients and softens wrinkles and plumps skin for my anti-aging clients.<br /><br />Because it's a high intensity light and NOT a laser, a series of treatments are needed for best results.

It can be premature aging, sun spots, acne, large pores - you name it. But there are some mistakes in handling our skin that I see over and over. The most common mistake deals with exfoliation, or sloughing off the dead cells from out top-most layer of the epidermis. If overdone, the skin's health suffers. If underdone, no results are seen. I help people find the right type of exfoliant, and determine how often to do it to get the best results.<br /><br />Finding the right exfoliant isn't always easy for the average consumer. There are so many options: acids, peels, enzymes, buff puffs, at-home-microdermabrasion etc. The choices are so overwhelming that I find many clients choose to skip it altogether. This is where I come in to clear their confusion. <br /><br />Last week I had a client come in complaining of dryness and wrinkles. We determined she was using some great, nutrition packed topicals, so that wasn't the issue. Upon closer inspection of her skin, I saw what looks like a plastic coating of dead skin cells. I like to call this "Barbie Doll" plastic skin: it's tough and occlusive, and none of those fancy products she's using can penetrate it!<br /><br />I told her to use her gentle jojoba bead scrub exfoliant sitting on her shelf at home. It was time, her skin was begging for it! She's been using it daily and getting nice results. I saw her today at a meeting and was pleased to see her skin's progress. I imagine it saying, "Ah! I can breathe. I can eat! Finally!"Christine Byerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17446916525908184926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776549197630720333.post-8641623923677840982009-04-01T15:28:00.000-07:002009-04-01T15:48:23.887-07:00When consumers can't afford expensive laser treatments, where do they turn for skin rejuvenation?I'm always on the lookout for low cost yet effective ways to rejuvenate the skin without harming it. A couple weeks ago I spoke about Dermarolling or Collagen Induction Therapy via micro needles that barely puncture the skin. I was excited about it then and I'm MORE excited about it now. The procedure is quick, semi-painless (especially compared to laser) and inexpensive! Laser treatments cost thousands, dermarolling costs one tenth of that. It's great for wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation (both hyper and hypo, or an excess or loss of pigment) and stretch marks.<br /><br />Just look at the before and after photos of this client's forehead after only two treatments with the dermaroller: (Sorry about the color, the photos were taken in two different rooms. Oops! But if you look at her forehead you can see the difference I'm excited about. Also, her face looks so much fresher, also not so evident in the photos.)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7mez3u_-4UPSy1RO1pjDjrH_OeYKwbYXueUdUaShSvnlSJ8SMsTCTif4tdBtTEtZK5Xw3vwEjAEvFCMrNPkPbl8jlc69637jRShgyQPddPFsl_-tlcJkaksLz2S0vXxtMzAQvbRevcbtu/s1600-h/IMG_0962small.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319853777735378834" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 194px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 304px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7mez3u_-4UPSy1RO1pjDjrH_OeYKwbYXueUdUaShSvnlSJ8SMsTCTif4tdBtTEtZK5Xw3vwEjAEvFCMrNPkPbl8jlc69637jRShgyQPddPFsl_-tlcJkaksLz2S0vXxtMzAQvbRevcbtu/s320/IMG_0962small.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmqmB3cLrglo6Ta9KlBNH09OLdlPn08EiYhLlhm8ncPjES4DBQeQpU4wwVu6j6we79w0szSKAgBdFwR8QSS8Wu8H5LOSb8386kw99uzOu5T_jKDLHAcumVsQDhYNe5pgzZGYYObbyxaeOC/s1600-h/IMG_1002small.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbN13HKriT-pZLkDyGMBbzzy3nuIT5gNK4Ez2jjAp_LHjuexkqcyx4D4NRDMBl_k27nd5jsEGzizks1zeN9bSZnb5oY9Th82_R3KrmiTA5O-TfMY9vA8IbLvoZyDsjKGORbm07r4tP009v/s1600-h/IMG_1002small.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319856243086388034" style="WIDTH: 189px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 305px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbN13HKriT-pZLkDyGMBbzzy3nuIT5gNK4Ez2jjAp_LHjuexkqcyx4D4NRDMBl_k27nd5jsEGzizks1zeN9bSZnb5oY9Th82_R3KrmiTA5O-TfMY9vA8IbLvoZyDsjKGORbm07r4tP009v/s320/IMG_1002small.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The before photo was taken 3/5/09 and the after photo was taken yesterday 3/31/09. I'm sure we could get even better results with the proper home care, but we are taking baby steps here. (Sunscreen is half the battle!) Clients who use prescribed home care products and daily sunscreen can expect even better results.<br /><br />I like to do a peel before hand and the Infrared light afterward for quick healing. Clients feel like they have a mild sunburn after the treatment, but it heals very quickly and can be covered by makeup as soon as the next day.<br /><br />The real magic happens 6 weeks after the treatment, as new collagen takes time to mature. She can expect lines to soften even more, as well as gradual pigmentation correction (as long as she uses sunscreen!) This is a powerhouse of a treatment option for anyone looking for an alternative to painful and expensive Fraxle laser treatments.Christine Byerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17446916525908184926noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776549197630720333.post-89275982767927665532009-03-27T18:06:00.000-07:002009-03-27T18:08:48.965-07:00What's really the difference between spa products and over the counter (drugstore/department store) products?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglylRwe9WCHGq_YcnnSkEyau_5WlVTOrJx0xDs7NjxKcxFOZ5Kp6rqsTgbTzxRIj8LWYflRU2HCkhU4pKeLtEJDsBupkWTvkylMJqxqTWiM0Jt7SyYG0NiDb7y2UtV6oIX50uhoyUqVG4i/s1600-h/blue+mask+yelling.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 84px; height: 125px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglylRwe9WCHGq_YcnnSkEyau_5WlVTOrJx0xDs7NjxKcxFOZ5Kp6rqsTgbTzxRIj8LWYflRU2HCkhU4pKeLtEJDsBupkWTvkylMJqxqTWiM0Jt7SyYG0NiDb7y2UtV6oIX50uhoyUqVG4i/s320/blue+mask+yelling.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318039232775256274" /></a><br />Every day as consumers we get pummeled with advertisements about the next and greatest skincare product out there. They're on TV 24/7, on the internet, at Wal-Mart and everywhere you turn. I too catch myself being pulled in by snappy advertising and the promise of the next wonder ingredient.<br /> <br />This weekend I attended the International Congress of Esthetics in Dallas. While sitting in on a panel hosted by some of the top educators/vendors in the professional skincare field, I had a revelation. I no longer had to worry about the next big thing out there. There is no ONE ingredient that the skin loves, but a synergy of ingredients that feed the skin. It's the synergistic action of many high quality ingredients that really makes a difference in the skin.<br /> <br />What about department stores products? Another difference between professionally recommended spa products and over the counter products is their level of activity. Huge brands like Estee Lauder and Clinique have to "dumb down" their products to just enough percentage to see a little result, but not cause allergic or adverse reactions. You just can't get the therapeutic value from the main ingredients because their percentages are too low. It's like taking 1/4 of an aspirin for a headache. The medicine is in there, but it's not enough to get rid of your headache.<br /> <br />I experienced this when I allowed a client who was cash strapped (we were doing a trade) to use drugstore products while I did a series of peels and Infrared light treatments on him. After a few weeks I noticed I just wasn't getting the results I was used to as far as skin quality was concerned. <br /> <br />He was using a not so cheap over the counter "rejuvenation" product with palmitoyl pentapeptide-3. Looking at the ingredients list, I noticed it was number 11 down, after water and a variety of silicones. Dermalogica's Dynamic Skin Recovery has palmitoyl pentatpeptide 5 (more peptides=more synergistic results) listed as the 7th ingredient. The higher up on the list, the higher the amount in the product.<br /> <br />My lesson learned is that I'm not benefitting my clients by allowing them to "get by" with over the counter products. These products have never been held to the standard that professional products have been. Significant results in my clients' skin will always come from my professional recommendation of high quality products that I know are perfect for their specific skin condition and type.

<br /><strong>A quality peel not only smoothes the skin, but can eat up blackheads as well...</strong>
<br /></span>
<br />As I was working on a client today, I found myself delighted and excited. I was excited because we were trying a new peel on her. She has very interesting skin. Although it's tough it can't tolerate certain peels yet will hardly react to others. Today we found a winner for her.
<br />
<br />While removing the mask I began to notice one of my favorite peel side effects: Blackhead removal without manual extractions! The enzymes in the mask actually devoured the blackheads right up. I'm sure this is the effect that those dreaded Biore Blackhead Remover Strips had in mind, but could never achieve, as least not on <em>my</em> nose!
<br />
<br />This is a smart peel because it contains enzymes that only digest keratinized (dead) cells without attacking live, healthy cells. Since blackheads are dead cells and oil combined, bye, bye blackheads!
<br />
<br />Her skin also looked smoother and her post inflammatory acne spots (marks that linger after the pimple is healed) were lighter. We were both pleased with the results.
<br />
<br />With results like this, you can see why so many of my clients are taking advantage of the two for one peel special this month. Since peels work best when done in a series, I'm offering a head start with this special. It's all about results!

Out! Damned double chin! How to lift that wattleWe all have our facial trouble spots. Some of us complain about our breakouts, other of us dislike our sun spots. I have to admit, my least favorite part of my face (but oddly my husband's favorite) is my wattle. Yes, you may remember the term from Ally McBeal back in the 90's. Richard Fish, the famed freaky attorney had a wattle fettish. I can't say I share in his fantasies!<br /><br />I do have a trick that I use to lift up that lazy neck though. It really does work. So the next time you have to go to that party or networking event, you too can find a secluded parking spot, recline the car seat all the way back and exercise it away! (Oh yeah, I did that today!)<br /><br />It's like sit ups for the platysma muscle at the front of the neck. This muscle grows apart as we age - not pretty! I can't explain the whole exercise here, but <a href="mailto:christine-byer@austin.rr.com">email me</a> and I will gladly give you a demonstration.Christine Byerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17446916525908184926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776549197630720333.post-65579090034700969582009-03-08T19:24:00.000-07:002009-03-08T19:25:24.541-07:00Yes, I'm gonna say it again. Water, water, water!After ten years working as an esthetician I've seen many, many faces. Unfortunately I see chronic dehydration daily. Superficially dehydrated skin (easy to fix) behaves differently than systemically dehydated skin (not so easy to fix without client's participation). It LOOKS drastically different too. Fortunately, it's easy to fix. Start drinking! (H2O that is.)<br /><br />The skin is a living organ that is always pushing things up and out: past sunburns, chicken pox, shingles etc. If you think of any of these unpleasant conditions you realize (thankfully) that they don't last forever. The skin is constantly repairing itself. It performs this work better in a hydrated environment. This is why they keep burn victims' wounds moist.<br /><br />Case in point, I had a client who was complaining of migraines and lack of energy. You can imagine her poor skin reflected just that. It was dull, lackluster and way beyond dehydrated. I recommended (begged) that she drink more water and less coffee. <br /><br />A week later I'm happy to report the massive positive change in her skin quality: smoother, clearer and more luminous. I was so proud! She was even carrying her water bottle with her. And no more migraines!Christine Byerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17446916525908184926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776549197630720333.post-38112679699653663592009-02-26T18:05:00.001-08:002009-02-26T18:13:55.891-08:00Update on client X before and after<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE8IMC0PUfJsmbs_f5U_2HqsHjXmFPiUtQUIVrZ9IrYjUUew1GZy8EJMaJYZW1ZcX8nHqC38NqSrYz_XMDpV-NoLo5PnwjIj51tJtzpg4WFjSz_k0dmD6tTYcB6PU64sjVtmeqlgvFsqiB/s1600-h/IMG_0931.JPG"></a> <div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUdpPoheTcfD1kIydKoYYhL8jJDAKaz6Dv0r6cBBI6b_BAzZkQdM1wfAa_63KhRV8vBIegO8-YlyNSMdCj5I59dCi00avOGsSUHKDb9u0zhKZ1tChU1sCkIp0A2E71v2004QC6yrqj4C6U/s1600-h/David+123108.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307292773726308498" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 198px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUdpPoheTcfD1kIydKoYYhL8jJDAKaz6Dv0r6cBBI6b_BAzZkQdM1wfAa_63KhRV8vBIegO8-YlyNSMdCj5I59dCi00avOGsSUHKDb9u0zhKZ1tChU1sCkIp0A2E71v2004QC6yrqj4C6U/s320/David+123108.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU9tbDJNQnEyrBznvQPShA_bVpXcFBTf2249rm3S1GmaU8HdjZxXIpxuNAWQictgnrz53thOACph0BGPMPbUBJLbWAavDgUoxQqLAmIfH7rXG6Qv3Riy4-yQ1rJ_oXM-VHrPZ9AUS6kSI-/s1600-h/IMG_0940.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307293694064510978" style="WIDTH: 174px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU9tbDJNQnEyrBznvQPShA_bVpXcFBTf2249rm3S1GmaU8HdjZxXIpxuNAWQictgnrz53thOACph0BGPMPbUBJLbWAavDgUoxQqLAmIfH7rXG6Qv3Riy4-yQ1rJ_oXM-VHrPZ9AUS6kSI-/s320/IMG_0940.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div>Christine Byerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17446916525908184926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776549197630720333.post-1423657871706288882009-02-17T17:01:00.000-08:002009-02-17T17:09:59.306-08:00Mr. X Before and After, again...<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLh4HvDI89yCQWHDnwkdxCsvOTcekxEaD2A2pI2hHLZ5dCsvWAco7ufYDHSsNFZE_KfqB5LtH6hMlC9tGI7Ii1XiSJOI3Oy2f-HOOM5trhuLf09Y8veGE_JvtHWRKf66NaokDy7cSbMzvY/s1600-h/David+123108.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303937898231843618" style="WIDTH: 198px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLh4HvDI89yCQWHDnwkdxCsvOTcekxEaD2A2pI2hHLZ5dCsvWAco7ufYDHSsNFZE_KfqB5LtH6hMlC9tGI7Ii1XiSJOI3Oy2f-HOOM5trhuLf09Y8veGE_JvtHWRKf66NaokDy7cSbMzvY/s320/David+123108.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIeUn3Mr2FvHvhUvUrULVQkHnasgnngF4GJN6VySy2otgD9PYiQhp_0N1Yyinh6P4l5nvsFXcfhE4nbC-7EJ9kYlzpyB6PiVIo2Wp9IkJR2mNvN5lWsFy_-GM2sQbYy-qhIPjZ5NHRK1Fb/s1600-h/IMG_0923.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303938182386119698" style="WIDTH: 188px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIeUn3Mr2FvHvhUvUrULVQkHnasgnngF4GJN6VySy2otgD9PYiQhp_0N1Yyinh6P4l5nvsFXcfhE4nbC-7EJ9kYlzpyB6PiVIo2Wp9IkJR2mNvN5lWsFy_-GM2sQbYy-qhIPjZ5NHRK1Fb/s320/IMG_0923.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Did another Jade/Infrared treatment on client X today.<br /><br />1st photo before treatment<br />2nd photo after 4 treatments </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div></div>Christine Byerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17446916525908184926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776549197630720333.post-51709886132642110962009-02-15T18:14:00.000-08:002009-02-15T19:16:04.902-08:00Mr. X Before and After<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQ4QyScwkP1UwdL7jbvHvGPDcHkViejhBUu-MqJOidZeip-Uin527VB_YCfL0YHyyRWukYlSUzNJwWPQJ-u6R5m8d3t0V5KX39pusB6yAR9V7_w5MnpNDgJ9vTrhlt8iF6lU1mEjxCQgW/s1600-h/David+123108.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303213553499008002" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 126px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 216px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQ4QyScwkP1UwdL7jbvHvGPDcHkViejhBUu-MqJOidZeip-Uin527VB_YCfL0YHyyRWukYlSUzNJwWPQJ-u6R5m8d3t0V5KX39pusB6yAR9V7_w5MnpNDgJ9vTrhlt8iF6lU1mEjxCQgW/s320/David+123108.jpg" border="0" /></a>I've been doing a series on a client who graciously allowed me to post his progress.

No one! But while you might not want wrinkles, you may well be creating them with your mascara... Waterproof mascara is more difficult to get off than regular mascara. No matter how good your eye makeup remover is, you will still accidentally end up pulling on the skin around your eyes when you try and remove it. Every time you pull on that fragile, thin skin around your eyes, you create wrinkles! How often do you actually end up getting soaked in the rain, or falling into a swimming pool in the middle of your day? Waterproof mascara is good for the beach but for everyday use, ditch it! Use regular mascara and avoid wrinkles.Christine Byerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17446916525908184926noreply@blogger.com0
