Wrinkles, beware – there’s a new protocol in town.

 

Skinn Cosmetics introduces a dynamic trio of active ingredients and cutting edge technology to treat those deep-set, stubborn wrinkles: Deep Wrinkle Protocol System.

CEO, Founder and the man behind all things Skinn Cosmetics, Dimitri James, says the Deep Wrinkle Protocol trio is the result of Skinn’s deepest research into dermal anti-aging technology, proven to dramatically reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles.

THE TRIO!

Collagenesis Deep Wrinkle Protocol Line Peel Solution

This resurfacing solution boasts a multi-fruit acid complex, cocktailed with Mandelic Acid, White Tea Extract and Vitamin C, to exfoliate, resurface and help obliterate the appearance of deep lines. The solution also features Luremin, a more effective, next generation non-retinoid ingredient that is more effective than retinol at line reducing, yet non-irritating and non-inflaming. This controlled-release peel is designed for concentrated areas on the face to gently resurface and exfoliate lined areas, stimulating the appearance of smoother, softer, younger-looking skin while protecting against environmental damage.

Collagenesis Deep Wrinkle Protocol Deep Line Erasing Serum:

An advanced anti-wrinkle treatment packed with new innovative peptides that visibly plump deep lines and wrinkles. Utilizing a unique patented amino acid encapsulation technology to provide a lipo-filling effect, the serum will effectively help to stimulate and rebuild the lost suppleness that occurs as skin ages – skin will appear plump and more lifted. The serum also features Syn-ake peptide, a synthetic tri-peptide that mimics the effects of reduced muscle contractions resulting in a Botox-like effect, leading to a reduction in wrinkles and smoother skin. Additionally, this concentrated serum is packed with firming, regenerative peptides, HA spheres and 3D intensors for an emblematic Collagenesis® global approach.

Sonic Infuser Deep Resonating Tool

Skinn’s Deep Resonating Sonic Infuser amplifies the overall effectiveness of the Collagenesis® Deep Wrinkle Protocol Deep Line Erasing Serum or any of Skinn’s advanced serum formulations. Apply any serum directly onto problem-lined areas, then activate the Infuser to penetrate treatment to the deepest levels with the power of ultrasonic induction. Be assured that this gentle Infuser is safe to use around the delicate eye area without risk of breaking capillaries.

Use daily (morning and night) for most dramatic results.

 

The Deep Wrinkle Protocol System retails for $99.50 and is available for purchase on www.skinn.com.

Phytomer’s ACNIPUR Blemish Solution Fluid has been one of my personal favorite Phytomer products I’ve tried so far!

January 17, 2014

Phytomer’s ACNIPUR Blemish Solution Fluid has been one of my personal favorite Phytomer products I’ve tried so far.

It’s created with marine biotechnology and forms an invisible natural biofilm on the skin that soaks up sebum like a micro-sponge and inhibits the inflammatory process.

Skin is matified, blemishes and redness are reduced. It can be used as a spot treatment/serum OR all over the face/neck as a matifying moisturizer – depending on your skin type. 

 

Phytomer

MODE OF ACTION* 

1- ACTION AGAINST THE EXCESSIVE PRODUCTION  OF SEBUM

Inhibits the activity of the enzyme  responsible for the secretion of sebum.

2- ACTION AGAINST BACTERIAL PROLIFERATION

Limits the spread of bacteria on the skin surface  and inside of comedones. 

3- ACTION AGAINST THE APPEARANCE OF COMEDONES

Helps reduce the formation of fatty acids known to be comedogenic and thus limits the skin irritation reactions.

4- ACTION AGAINST INFLAMMATORY REACTIONS Reduces the activity of an enzyme  involved in inflammation and degradation of the skin barrier.

Beat the dry LA heat with one of these awesome Honeywell Humidifiers!

Winter’s cold, dry air is about to wreak havoc on your skin. Especially in LA.  My kids wake up complaining they can’t breathe.  I put the heat on because it’s freezing which only makes it drier. During the winter, humidity levels can drop as low as 10%. That’s drier than the Sahara Desert.

I am way into humidifiers and I usually purchase a new one every couple of years to try something different. I’ve been looking into these from Honeywell, my go-to brand.

So, rather than piling on the moisturizer, adding moisture to the air helps relieve cracked, scaly alligator skin. In fact, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends running a humidifier to prevent chapped lips.  My kids also love love love one in their room.

Clayspray: Spay on Face Masks (yup, you got it!)

January 13, 2014

Clayspray is the world’s first clay mask delivered via spray delivery system (think about shaving cream type of spray.) 

Clayspray was invented by a female archaeologist who understood natural benefits and therapeutic properties of clay. It is exclusively sourced from the 100-million-year-old Irene Mine in the Iberian Peninsula in Spain. Clayspray is truly exclusive. 

Only 1% of mined clay goes into Clayspray and the total concentration of actual clay in the product itself is 65% versus 20% in majority clay products on the market. Such purity and high concentration of clay guarantees an incredible moisturizing effect due to hydrogels that act as a vehicle, delivering nutrients deep into the skin. 

Clayspray addresses various skin concerns such as Pore refining, Mattifying (perfect for oily T-Zone), Brightening, Glow and Toning. 

Best part of a Clayspray treatment is immediate visible results.  Several Clayspray products can be used at the same time for people with combination skin. The line also includes two refreshing mineral water mists that help prepare skin before and soothe after the treatment. 

Clayspray is the only clay mask that comes in a spray format. It allows for absolutely no-mess application in the comfort of your home with professional spa-like results. This unique delivery system design also preserves clay from contamination and drying out, so you get fresh product with each pump! Clayspray has consistency of a creamy emulsion unlike many clay products that tend to be chunky and gritty.

Photo Revelation and a few other Sciton lasers with Launa Stone RN at Calabasas Med Spa

January 4, 2014

Sciton, a leading manufacturer of high-quality medical laser and light systems has three new breakthrough technologies, reversing the aging process, erasing skin abnormalities and forever ridding the body of unwanted hair that are ever present concerns in today’s society.

And YAY, there are all available at the fantastically impressive Calabasas Med Spa.(http://calabasasmedspacom/contact.php).  

  

  • Forever Young BBL TM- Described by Stanford University as a true “Fountain of Youth.” The treatment uses BroadBand Light™ flash lamp technology to not only improve the appearance of skin and pigmentation, but also to restore gene expression patterns of aged human skin to resemble young skin. The revolutionary non-invasive treatment results in patients appearing younger than their actual age – supported by DNA evidence!  A 10 year long Stanford study with Dr. Bitter, Jr., shows that in an 11 year time frame, people actually appeared to negatively age by one year with regular quarterly light treatments.

 

  • The Forever Bare BBL TM treatment is the latest innovation in fast, effective laser hair removal, and is just being announced to the public this month. The procedure uses BroadBand Light™ technology and treats with continuous movement and multiple lower fluency pulses at a high repetition rate. This advanced method greatly minimizes the likelihood of missed areas that occur with other traditional hair removal devices, with far less discomfort. 

 

  • The brand new CelluSmooth procedure is a minimally invasive, fast and safe treatment. Introduced this last March and just now available at select medical practices, the protocol was developed in conjunction with a panel of remarkable plastic surgeons and cosmetic physicians. CelluSmooth is the answer to ridding the body of unwanted lumps, bumps and dimples to achieve a smoother appearance in troublesome areas such as the thighs, stomach and buttocks.  In a single simple procedure, CelluSmooth treats the source of lumpy, dimpled skin with three safe and effective steps:  1). Severing the bands that pull on the skin creating the dimples and valleys, 2) Melting the excess pockets of fat that form bulging areas, and 3) smoothing and firming the skin with the laser.

 

Because I have darker skin I am currently doing a series of the Photo Revelations and I am LOVING IT.

Photo Revelation uses 1064 nm wavelength in a painting technique to heat the dermis to help build collagen, treats large pores and diffuses redness especially on darker skin types where BBL is less than ideal.

Launa Stone is incredible. She is the REAL DEAL.  

LAUNA STONE, RN

Launa Stone RN, has been skin icon to celebrities, business women, and housewives for over 20 years. She has appeared on several television programs and has been featured in numerous magazine articles.

Launa Stone has been a practicing registered nurse for almost 20 years. After working in Critical Care, Launa began her career in plastic surgical nursing and skin care in 1989. She has worked with some of the country's most prominent plastic and reconstructive surgeons. The need for the plastic surgery patients to "preserve their results" and expand their knowledge of skin care treatments and products in order to not only maintain, but improve their skin, was of vast interest to Launa.

In 1996, when Botox™ was introduced for cosmetic purposes, she began performing Collagen & Botox™ injections. Launa is now a well known Registered Nurse at the forefront of non-invasive medical and aesthetic technology and is also considered one of the pioneers in the field of Laser Hair Removal.

In 1997, while working at UCLA with various lasers for hair removal, she conducted side by side comparisons in consultation with researchers and manufacturers. She also participated in a study for the FDA which led to the approval of the Diode Laser, the newest technology for permanent hair removal.

Launa is involved in training other doctors and nurses in the use of the Diode Laser, sharing her techniques in this rapidly progressing field. She has performed over 50,000 treatments and is considered an expert in this field, and one of the most experienced in the United States. She has authored several articles and has been recognized in magazines, including L.A. Magazine, for her expertise in laser hair removal. Launa has relocated her practice to Calabasas and is still performing the most effective, least invasive and innovative treatments, usually resulting in no downtime.
