Nutrition
Why Nutrition?
Most occupations do not exist by themselves, rather they interact with other social systems. This is true when it comes to esthetics. We are now assuming a more health-oriented role.
Every 7.7 seconds someone turns 50. It is the burgeoning aging population that has become a real force behind economic, social and political trends. As the baby boomers age, they are becoming more and more concerned about their health and physical appearance.
A growing trend in the food industry indicates that consumers, especially affluent aging baby boomers are demanding food that promotes health and wellness.
Although many skin care centers incorporate wellness centers with yoga and Pilates studios, my focus will be to bring the “basics of nutrition” to you. We can all benefit from the latest information concerning this area.
In this new column, we will be talking about how we can use nutrition as a preventive approach for aging and health care.
How our skin looks has much to do with what we put into our bodies. If we’re going to take better care of our faces, shouldn’t we also be just as concerned about our overall health?

Camouflage
As many of you know, jane iredale mineral cosmetics has several different concealers. These products enable you to cover everything from redness to bruising, and from dark circles and puffiness to acne and vitiligo. I recently attended an all day workshop, “Advanced Artistry 303: The Art of Concealing”. What amazing things we can do with concealers!
Patients who have undergone facelifts, laser surgery or any procedures that necessitate days of recovery time, can benefit greatly from concealers. Camouflage allows them to see the results of the physician’s work faster and have confidence in their choice. It also allows patients to return to “normal life” faster than if they weren’t shown how to hide the redness or bruising that often occurs.
Camouflage can be used to conceal the results of any condition. Whether you need to cover redness from laser resurfacing, rosacea and acne, or bruising, hyperpigmentation and vitiligo, there is a concealor product that will work for you.

What is a Laser Peel?
As we age, the effects of sun damage and environmental pollutants take their toll on our skin, creating wrinkles and pigment irregularities, especially on our faces. A Laser Peel can be very successful at reducing and improving these conditions, and in fact, it is a great way to address the problematic lines that occur around the mouth and eyes.
There are several different types of lasers used to perform skin resurfacing and it can be confusing, but I would be happy to see you and explain the safest, most effective laser treatment for your face.
