Why you shouldn't trust home remedies for skin care?

I know you'll find thousands of skin care recipes online that promote home remedies for skin care. However very few of them are effective and most of them are not beneficial for your skin.

In order to recommend a treatment or procedure, it is important to understand how it works before to attempting the product.

Usually home remedies are done with materials that we have at home, either chemicals or natural products. Before you decide to start you need to know that every material is made of molecules, and that they have a molecular size and a chemical content.

Our skin is the largest organ of our body and it is really absorbent but not everything can penetrate the skin, depending on its molecular size and its consistency.

A good example can be "homemade" Vitamin C cream, some people promote that you can formulate your own vitamin C cream at your home and yes you can, but it would be useless for skin care. The main reason is because the molecular size is too large to penetrate the epidermis. You will have a cream that will remain on the top of the skin and may irritate it, causing more damage.

While in a specialized laboratory, the formula would be designed with appropriate molecular size to penetrate the skin to a certain level in order to get effective results.

 

Another example can be "peptides", they are only a portion of one amino acid and the amino acid is a portion of a protein (collagen). In order to penetrate and have a positive effect on the skin, not only the molecular size is important but also the percentage. Molecules should be very small to be delivered in to the dermis, as well as combined with a molecule of H2O to penetrate in perfect form, otherwise they will stay on the top of the skin and it will result in blocking pores, causing acne.

I don't want to forget to mention that the content of your formulas is even more important. If for some reason your formula has artificial color or perfumes, then you are introducing toxins in your body that unfortunately may be very difficult to excrete. Your body doesn't need those toxic chemicals at all, they cause lot of damage within the cells, like DNA damage.

As a doctor, I love science and that is why I do enjoy studying and analyzing chemistry in our body. Understanding the physiology of our body it is crucial for every human being. I felt that writing about this subject it would be very informative for the consumer, so they may understand why the source and content of your skin care products are so important.

LIGHT UP YOUR BEAUTY WITH CARROTS / BETA-CAROTENES

Carrot is one of the most healing foods that provides the finest and highest quality in nutrients, especially from its juice. It is an excellent source of pro-vitamin A, vitamins C, D, E, K, B1 and B6.

It is rich with biotin, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, organic sodium and some trace minerals. It is the antioxidant beta-carotene that gives carrots their bright orange color. Beta-carotene is absorbed in the intestine and converted into vitamin A during digestion.

The high quality vitamin A & C and other rich nutrients in carrot juice efficiently nourish the skin, preventing dry skin, psoriasis and other skin blemishes. We recommend only one carrot juice a week to our patients. Overconsumption of carotene may cause a slight orange tinge in skin color but is not harmful to health.

The known phytonutrients in carrots are lutein, lycopene, anti-oxidants alpha, beta and gamma carotenes, zeaxanthin and xanthophyll may also help with blood sugar regulation, delay the effects of aging, and improve immune function.

Beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin are some of the finest nourishment that help keep the optic system in tip-top condition, with special protection against astigmatism, macular degeneration and cataracts.

Other Possible health benefits of carrots:
Cancer: A variety of dietary carotenoids have been shown to have anti-cancer effects due to their antioxidant power in reducing free radicals in the body. Lung Cancer: One study found that current smokers who did not consume carrots had three times the risk of developing lung cancer compared with those who ate carrots more than once a week. Colorectal Cancer: Beta-carotene consumption has been shown to have an inverse association with the development of colon cancer in the Japanese population.³
Leukemia: Carrot juice extract was shown to kill leukemia cells and inhibit their progression in a 2011 study. Prostate Cancer: Among younger men, diets rich in beta-carotene may play a protective role against prostate cancer, according to a study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health's Department of Nutrition.⁵
Vision: According to Duke ophthalmologist Jill Koury, MD, vitamin A deficiency causes the outer segments of the eye's photoreceptors to deteriorate, damaging normal vision. Correcting vitamin A deficiencies with foods high in beta-carotene will restore vision.

What IS A PEPTIDE and what it does to help your skin ?

 

 

What is a PEPTIDE & what it does to help your skin?

 

 

Peptides are chains of amino acids that help to form proteins (like blocks to develop tissue). One of the most important proteins for healthy skin is COLLAGEN, then peptides can help significantly to increase collagen and elastin production.

Some of the best peptides for skincare are Palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 trademark Matrixyl3000 one of the powerful peptide molecules found in the latest generation of high-end wrinkle products. The active ingredient in M3000 is also called Micro-collagen as found in our MATRIX SKIN REPAIR serum. Also the most recently discovered "neuropeptide" hexapeptide-8 or argireline as found in our ARGIRELINE 20% FORMULA - Intensive smoothening serum.

 

 

Collagen makes up 75% of the skin, is crucial for the appearance of youthfulness; this naturally-occurring substance makes the skin strong, plump and smooth. Our body's production is significantly decreased as we age. That is why we need to help our body with amino acids intake and application. Most peptides function as agents that have theoretical cell-communicating ability to help skin repair itself.

There are multiple peptides available in the skin care market, but consumers need to know that concentration and purity are very important factors in the effectiveness of the substance.

 

Unfortunately, many prestigious companies use very good peptides but with very limited concentration and high content of preservatives. They are big producers and they need to use preservatives to protect their products from spoiling. On the other hand, prices are significantly elevated to cover all the advertisement and distribution expenses but price not always reflects the quality or concentrations of the substance.

The consumers must learn to read the ingredients and content of the products they apply to their skin just like the food we ingest.

 

For skin care, we highly recommend serums because their great absorption capacity. For best results never apply combined substances since the molecules will fight for channel penetration. In other words, skin care products that promote multiple substances content to solve multiple skin problems might fail in their effectiveness. Peptides must be applied on skin before the moisturizers to ensure appropriate penetration.

 

Peptides can be great anti-aging ingredients for skin care but they're not the only ones you need to make your skin appear as young and healthy as you'd like. There are other amazing ingredients that are important for every individual case. Healthy diet and exercise combined with a good quality of skin care products plus daily sun protection, all are crucial elements for a healthy appearance of your skin.

Diamond Micro-dermabration.

DIAMOND MICRO-DERMABRASION

 

Give your skin the natural beauty and clarity of diamonds

With the help of Diamonds!

(Professional / Medical grade - Skin resurfacing treatment)

 

Microdermabration or skin resurfacing is a technique for removing the topmost layer of the skin leaving it supple and vibrant. In our center we have the DiamondTome Wand system that is crystal-free and gently removes this layer of skin by exfoliating with natural diamond chops, while at the same time is vacuuming the dead skin cells away in a sterile and controlled manner. Removing this outer layer of dead skin cells leaves a smother texture and promotes the growth of healthy new skin cells.

 

Resurfacing using a DiamondTome Wand is similar to any other microdermabration and chemical peels in its results but without the adverse effects of chemicals or loose particles, irritation and skin reaction.

 

This treatment is a wonderful alternative to laser or chemical peels because it is non-invasive, non-surgical and requires no down time after treatment. Normal activities may be resumed immediately. Your skin will have a radiant glow; most of the patients experience softer, smoother and cleaner skin after the first treatment.

 

Treatment series vary from five to ten sessions depending on the condition being treated and the type of skin. It is recommended for:

 

• Sun Damage
• Age spots
• Reduction of minor early aging fine lines
• Blending of cosmetic surgery or laser treatments
• Reduction of acne scarring
• Extraction of blackheads and whiteheads
• Minor scar revision
• Hyper-pigmentation reduction
• Oily skin
• Rejuvenation and skin health

 

Common concerns:

How much discomfort will I experience?

The treatments are painless yet effective.

How many sessions do I need for acne scars?

We recommend a series of 6 to 10 treatments to achieve your objective, same for wrinkles & hyperpigmentation problems. Every case should be evaluated individually. 
 

How will I look after the treatment?

Your skin will look slightly flushed immediately after the treatment but you should return to normal in 10-30 minutes. Your skin will look and feel smoother even after the first treatment and will continue to improve with additional treatments.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the surgery patients.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOt)

Pre & post Surgery Support Program

Mind and body approach               

The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy before and after surgery can reduce healing time up to 50 %   Hyperbaric oxygen is the only treatment that allows a high percentage of oxygen molecules to penetrate in severely injured cells.

Multiple studies have been published testifying the remarkable healing of wounds with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOt). The most important effects of hyperbaric oxygen for the post-surgery patients are:

* Increased Collagen formation & fibroblast proliferation which are critical in any wound healing and rejuvenation process.

*Accelerated Revascularization of ischemic tissues, optimizing cellular level of oxygen and nerve function.  Crucial aspect to prevent complications during any injury or surgery, therefore;  improves post-surgery nerve repair

*Stimulation of leukocyte for microbial control.

hyperbaric oxygen therapy can reduce healing time.

There is scientific evidence   that suggests that pre-surgery stress alters the functioning of the body’s endocrine and immune systems. These changes affect the release of important chemicals in the brain, which in turn may affect wound healing and other post- surgery processes.

When oxygen is under pressure, it acts like a drug and has drug-like effects on the DNA & other components of each cell, bringing about permanent change in the cell and surrounding tissue. Over the decades of experimentation with HBOT it has been discovered that its secret of success is its cumulative effect, meaning that after a series of at least 25 treatments, the body’s tissues have been permanently changed.

 

Steps can be taken to help prepare a person for a surgery and reduce post-surgery complications, while promoting a quick recovery.

 

Multiple factors will determine how quickly you will recover from surgery or any injury. (Age, Health, Chronic conditions, smoking history, poor blood circulation, poor immunity, etc.)

HBOt can have a profound impact on recovery factors, removing the barriers to healing and helping to prevent complications, reducing the severity of conditions that develop over the time.

“Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a wonderful tool in a comprehensive wound healing program.”

Our Surgery Program includes:

before surgery. (highly recommended, it helps the body for immediate injury response )

• 1 (90 min)   hyperbaric oxygen treatment  

after surgery.

• 4 or 5 (90 min) hyperbaric oxygen sessions.  ( Surgeons will evaluate each case individually )

 “The patients that have received hyperbaric oxygen therapy report:  less pain, less bruising, less swelling, less scars and less down time.”

 

HBO t is highly recommended after:      

* Plastic surgery.

*Liposuction – tummy tuck

*Laser peels & micro-dermabration

*Fat & hair transplants

*Chemical peelings

*Skin fillers

*Anti-aging / stem cells stimulation.

* Former smokers will have better healing

 

HBOt  is frequently used for :

*Diabetic foot /ulcers.

*Burns & Skin grafts.

*Fractures & Sport injuries.

*Skin damage from Radiation exposure.

*Brain injury / Stroke.

*Toxic - Chemical exposure

* & other multiple indications

TOVA TEST FOR ATENTTION DEFICIT DISORDER

 

DO YOU KNOW SOMEBODY WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT PROBLEMS?
SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH THEM...
 

 

 

Did you know that The number of Patients suffering of Attention Deficit disorder ADD & Hyperactivity ADHD are more frequent than we think?

Kids forgetting homework, day dreaming at class, misbehaving at all places, adults having a hard time following simple instructions, or getting in trouble for making inappropriate comments at inappropriate times, with hyperactivity problems, all those are also signs of attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD), which can affect the patient’s ability to learn and get along with others. A disorder that without professional management will affect radically the patients life and their family.

Don't you think that diagnosing ADD - ADHD correctly would be fundamental before to take any medication? Why not to test the patients before any prescription?

Don't you want to know if your child really have ADHD?
Can an adult have ADD?
As a clinician, do you want to find a better way to measure attention than only rating some one's behaviors? Something that's objective?

Have you heard about the TOVA test? or  Test of Variables of Attention (T.O.V.A.®)
If you or somebody you know are dealing with similar problems, you should know about the TOVA test.  Is an objective, neurophysiological measure of attention, not a subjective rating of behavior. It is a 21.6 minute long, very simple "computer game" that measures your responses to either visual or auditory stimuli.

 

The Test of Variables of Attention (T.O.V.A.®) is a computerized test of attention that assists in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring of attention disorders, like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It is used at all the states of USA and now can be found at some other international countries.

The cost of the test ranges between $115 to $170, you can inquire about it to you physician or to an expert in the field.

Plus, TOVA test can be repeated to evaluate how the patients are responding to the treatment, since every case is different, with the help of the test Doctors & Parents can monitor the progress of the patient.

 

A big problem is that many patients are undiagnosed & many others are just getting pills because their doctor thinks that it may be ADD and think that medication is the only solution they can offer, the fact is that it is very important to find out if the patients are appropriately diagnosed, because often they are prescribed with some medications that might have serious secondary effects.

If you want to take the test & know more about the test? feel free to contact our office @ Santa Barbara CA. for 805-563-0450
