NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2002/ --- In 2002, you will go to the gym three times a week, brush your teeth
more often and not pick at your zits. If you're like most mortals, chances are your New Year's
resolutions include something that you hope will lead to a better looking you.
While putting yourself through a rigorous regimen to achieve the desired results is admirable
and facelifts techniques are getting better and better, these days there are enough ways to
look good without going under the knife.
Here's are a list of little cheats and treats that'll give you an instant makeover.
For a non-surgical eyelift try Caudalie C40 Grape-Seed Anti-Wrinkle Cream.
The C40 Grape-Seed Anti-Wrinkle Cream smoothes away fine lines and wrinkles,
firming, hydrating, and protecting the skin using antioxidants. Good for all
skin types, especially sensitive or dehydrated skin. Hypoallergenic and
non-comedogenic. Available at:
www.sephora.com
We all know that women don't need wrinkles, crows-feet and sagging skin to prove their
wisdom and maturity. The latest facial rejuvenation technique comes from New York-based
Dr. Fredric Newman, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Newman is pioneering the use of Coblation, an FDA approved
skin resurfacing procedure which uses radio frequency energy to dissolve unwanted and damaged
tissue through a 'cooler' process than laser treatments which generate heat and can create
significant redness. Coblation's radio frequency waves break down cellular bonds and enhance
collagen production to even out skin tones, reduce wrinkles and acne scars.
An added bonus, according to Newman, is that "there is also less chance for pigmentation
changes" with Coblation as compared to other procedures. (www.theaestheticcenter.com)
For better or for worse, your face won't be the only part that people look at. And as the
saying goes, your hands will give away your age. Hands are one of the first areas to show
signs of aging, according to Dr. Steven J. Pearlman, M.D., F.A.C.S., since the skin is
thinner than the face.
For those hoping to get rid of spider veins or brown spots, Intense Pulsed Light treatments
can be the cure. Different target pigments in the skin (e.g. red or brown) absorb different
colors or wavelengths and need different lasers for treatment.
ILP uses filters to select a variety of wavelengths that can target all structures. Pearlman
notes that while hand rejuvenation can be achieved with only a few treatments, hands may
appear slightly pink for a day or two. And brown spots actually appear darker for the first
few days from the melanin deposits being shattered by the light.
A blindingly dazzling smile would be nice after taking care of your face and hands. No
lasers, no home kit or mouth guard is necessary -- just one short visit to the dentist!
In less than an hour with your dentist, a Rembrandt One-Hour Whitening dentist can whiten
teeth up to 10 shades, using the newest breakthrough in power light bleaching.
For the suspicious, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Calista Flockhart, Noah Wyle, Lisa Kudrow, Regis
Philbin, Helena Bonham-Carter, and Fergie are among numerous celebrities that
have mentioned Rembrandt Oral Care Products make them smile brighter.
