Ageing is a continuous
ongoing dynamic process. It
is genetically controlled
and inevitable. Various
factors that may be
intrinsic (genetically
determined natural slowing
process of the body) or
extrinsic (originating from
the external environmental
assaults) like UV radiation
(most important), gravity,
temperature variations,
wind, humidity, chemical
pollutants and irritants,
depleted ozone layer, poor
nutrition, physical mental
stress and social habits
(e.g. smoking) are important
both from the view of
premature ageing as well as
it’s therapy.
The aged skin owes its
appearance to the
combination of a multitude
of features such as dryness,
wrinkling, decreased healing
powers and irregular
pigmentation.
Think,
are you really gone as old
as you look?
It can be prevented, if the
anti-ageing cares are taken
at a relatively early age
to delay the ageing process
and maintain youthful appearance.
Anti-aging methods SLOW DOWN
aging and extend lifespan.
What
are the anti- ageing treatments?
Berkowits
offers a range of anti-ageing
treatments. Since the treatments
require a professional expertise,
hence consultants decide the
individualized treatment package
for sustained results.
|
|
|
|
| |
| Treatments
are: |
 |
Micro
current – facelift |
|
Isometric current -face firming |
|
Non - polarized contractile stimulation. |
|
Glycolic peel |
|
Sun-Tan\ De-tan facial\ Collagen facial |
|
Exfoliation of dead layer of cells. |
|
| |
|
MICROCURRENT THERAPY |
| |
-
This therapy is quite popular in the
aesthetic field for muscle toning,
pigmentation and rejuvenation.
-
Here D.C. of very low amperage i.e. I-1000 amps are used.
These small therapeutic doses augment the body’s own healing
ability and are sub sensory below the threshold of pain.
-
Micro current stimulates ATP which triggers body’s natural
bio-chemical healing process thereby enhancing metabolism, tissue
repair and circulation of blood and lymph. When applied on origin
and insertion of facial muscles it tones and tightens them.
|
| ISOGEI
MACHINE |
| |
| How
Does Isogei Machine Work? |
| |
It
works by using what is known as isometric
contractions on the muscles. This means
that tension is applied to the muscle without
changing its length, and so this effectively
increases its strength and elasticity. Each
Isogei treatment increases muscular strength
by about 5% - even after just 1 session.
It
is a unique facial sculpting technique.
The most effective non invasive face lifting
that rehabilitates the skin that is losing
its elasticity, firmness and tone and showing
sign of sagging. It makes body firmer, face
more relaxed thus brighter, lines around
the eyes less evident, relaxes the nose
and mouth wrinkles and increases muscular
strength and tone with extreme accuracy.
With a pulsed wave static movement it is
a natural way to lift your face and body
into youthful shape.
|
| |
| Where
can it be used? |
| |
Based
on isometric electronic stimulation, a latest
European technology for restoring skin elasticity,
firmness and tone, is used for reduction
of wrinkles, face lines, double chin, under
eye bags, breast and buttock lifting.
The
Isogei treatment is most frequently used
on the face and neck, but it is also a popular
treatment for strengthening breast muscles,
lifting bottom muscles, tightening that
inner leg wobble and redefining arm, pectoral
and stomach muscles. The Isogei has also
been used for facial palsy to improve the
overall physical effects, symmetry and appearance
of the individual.
What’s
more, the Isogei will LIFT, DEFINE and RESHAPE
not only the face but also the breasts,
bottom and stomach.
|
| |
| How
is this specific exercise on the muscles different
to micro-current? |
| |
Well
to put it simply, a micro-current treatment
is like taking your face to the gym, whereas
an Isogei program is like seeing a personal
trainer – specific muscles are worked
on intensively to create shape, lift and
definition.
On
a more technical level, micro-currents are
very good at achieving drainage, oxygenation,
increasing cellular activity as well as
toning and improving the skin’s elasticity.
There is a more youthful glow, as the skin
appears luminous and a visible ‘lifted
effect’ is achieved, however it is
not a specific muscular strengthening treatment.
The
Isogei, on the other hand uses what is called
a faradic current. Faradic currents work
directly on the muscles and the Isogei is
programmed to apply tension to the muscle
in a particular way that increases strength,
elasticity and tone. This is why the Isogei
provides superior results and a long lasting
effect.
|
| |
|
Who can use Isogei? |
| |
Anyone,
who does not want surgery or other invasive
techniques and yet wants to look younger
for longer;
Anyone, who is considering or has had surgical
intervention for a lift in order to maintain
their muscle elasticity - and therefore
prolong their result;
Anyone who is already receiving micro-current
treatments - this treatment will dramatically
enhance any prior results achieved.
|
| |
| How
many Isogei sessions will I need in a treatment
program? |
| |
10
sessions are required, 3 times a week for
3 weeks whilst on an Isogei program. This
will provide a visible difference that will
last for at least 1 year. Monthly maintenance
treatments are recommended for stability. |
| |
| What
type of difference would I see from the Isogei
sculpturing treatment? |
| |
Quite
often a subtle difference can be seen even
after 1 treatment. The first difference
you will notice is that your face will feel
firmer, and it won’t move around as
much. Other benefits you can look forward
to include: |
-
Redefinition of the jaw line.
-
Tightening of the neck muscles.
-
Improvement of the ‘double chin’ or
‘goose neck’.
-
Redefinition of the cheekbones.
-
Tightening of the eye muscles.
-
Improvement of the bags under eyes.
-
A higher, lifted eyebrow.
-
Improvement of the skin tone.
-
An overall improvement and a more
youthful looking face.

GLYCOLIC PEELS |
| |
Chemical peeling is a common dermato
surgical procedure performed without any
surgical instruments .It involves
applications of one or more chemical agents
to the skin so as to cause controlled
chemical burns, resulting in destruction of
a position of the epidermis / dermis .This
results in scrubbing of the epidermis and
remodelling of collagen and elastic fibres.
Thus results in excellent cosmetic results
in properly selected cases –reducing
pigmentation, age spots, scars, wrinkles and
giving of fresh vibrant, youthful look.
There are many different types of acids
available in the market. These are basically
fruit acids and are grouped as alpha hydroxy
acids (glycolic, lactic, citric acid etc.)
or beta hydroxy acids (salicylic acid) and
combination peels. |
| |
|
What are your goals? |
| |
-
Chemical peels can correct actinic (sun) damage.
-
They can reduce mild scarring.
-
You can experience a reduction or eradication of your wrinkles.
-
Chemical peels can remove excessive / stubborn blackheads.
-
The peel may temporarily reduce excessive skin oils.
|
|
The most important aspect of using acids is
to first, choose the correct type for your
skin or current skin related issues. |
|
Glycolic acid is available in various
concentrations (20%, 35%, 50%, 70%) |
-
Glycolic acid is a great "general" type of acid. It is water
soluble, and works nicely on most skin types.
-
Salicylic acid is perfect for acne and oily skin types. It is oil soluble,
and will penetrate sebum filled pores very easily to clean them out.
-
TCA - or Trichloracetic Acid, is
excellent for treating ice pick scars,
pigmentation problems, and stands out as
the premium acid to treat anti-aging.
TCA is known as the "Refresher Peel",
and will give the skin a beautiful,
fresh look.
|
|
Chemical peel thus forms an important
anti-ageing tool, removing all blemishes and
wrinkles and help to maintain fresh youthful
look. |
| |
|
Collagen Facial |
| |
The New York Day Spa collagen facial is a
popular anti-aging treatment used to flood
the skin with moisture, one of the most
fundamental ways to prevent your skin from
aging prematurely.
The New York Day Spa Collagen Facial uses
all of the skin-beautifying techniques of
the Classic European Facial, including deep
cleansing and extractions (if the clients
wish). Once the skin has been purified and
cleansed, we apply a thick layer of rich
collagen moisture cream. Next, we use a
special collagen-fibre mask, applied with
warm, melted Vitamin E in order to penetrate
the inner layers of the skin, and deliver
the collagen to the basal levels of your
dermis. The result of this collagen
treatment is the diminished appearance of
fine lines and an overall youthful, glowing
look. |

DERMABRASION |
| |
|
What Is Microdermabrasion? |
| |
|
Microderm abrasion is a skin resurfacing
treatment that works by gently abrading the
top layer of the skin with the help of micro
aluminium oxide crystals or diamond tipped
wand, leaving a new, fresh layer underneath.
It is a non-invasive, non-surgical cosmetic
procedure which can be performed at home, in
beauty salons, spas and medical or
dermatological offices |
| |
|
What is the effect of MDA? |
| |
|
MDA is a procedure that revitalizes dull
skin, reduces large poses, erases fine lines
and wrinkles, acne scars, reduces mild
pigment irregularities (hyperpigmentation),
stretch marks & age spots .It thus helps in
counteuring all the effects of ageing on the
skin. |
| |
|
How Microdermabrasion Works? |
| |
-
Micro abrasion was originally performed by plastic surgeons who used hand-held machines,
similar to sandblasters, to spray and circulate high pressure crystal flow onto the skin.
-
Microdermabrasion machines are made
of a compressor and a pump that mix
gentle abrasion with suction in order to
remove the outer skin layer (10-15
microns). The entire procedure, unlike
dermabrasion or laser skin surgery,
doesn't take more than 30-60 minutes and
can be successfully used on the face,
neck, chest, back, feet and hands.
-
If you don't have the time or money
to see a plastic surgeon or go to a
beauty salon or medical resort, there
are many home microdermabrasion kits
(Neutrogena, Mary Kay, L'Oreal, Oil of
Olay, etc) now available on the market
but choosing a particular brand may
prove tricky.
-
Microdermabrasion, be it at home or
at a doctor's office, is a painless
procedure. Most patients report a
tingling sensation during the abrasion
treatment and a windburn-like sensation
afterwards. Your skin may look a bit red
in the first 24 hours, but you should
not feel any pain or discomfort.
-
The main benefit of microabrasion is
that while it's equally effective to
other, more invasive skin procedures, it
allows you to get back to your daily
routine immediately after. For best
results, you may need between 5 and 12
microdermabrasion treatments, scheduled
1-2 weeks apart.
|
|
Is Microdermabrasion Safe? |
| |
|
Microabrasion has virtually no risks and no
side effects because it is one of the least
invasive skin resurfacing procedures.
Contraindications, however, do exist.
Patients on Accutane for 6 months
previously, pregnant and nursing women,
people suffering from active herpes lesions,
malignant tumors, keratosis, active rosacea
or weeping acne should not have microbrasion. |
| |
|
How Can Micro Dermabrasion Treatment Help? |
| |
|
Current feedback from dermatologists,
patients and home microdermabrasion kit
users suggests that micro derm abrasion
really works because: |
-
Micro derma abrasion is the least invasive dermatological
procedure (compared to dermabrasion and laser resurfacing).
-
It is more affordable than
surgical skin care treatments.
-
It is painless.
-
It is available as home microdermabrasion systems and kits.
-
It has the fewest side effects and it is effective on
all skin types and colors.
|
|
Microderm Abrasion Guide |
| |
-
The American Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery reported that micro
derma abrasion was the fourth most
popular non-surgical dermatological
procedure in the US in 2005, with more
than 1 million patients in the previous
year. It does not require anesthetic if
performed at a beauty salon or
physician's office (unlike surgical skin
resurfacing).
-
It helps your skin look younger,
healthy, glowing and for some people,
close to perfect.
|
|
How Can Micro Dermabrasion Treatment Help? |
| |
|
Micro derma abrasion is effective on
diminishing and even getting rid of fine
lines, enlarged pores, blackheads, age
spots, hyperpigmentation (uneven skin tone),
acne scars, stretch marks and dull skin.
People who've tried it say a full micro
dermabrasion treatment makes the skin
smoother and better. Actual results,
however, depend on prior medical conditions,
your skin's ability to recover and on who
performed the procedure. It is not effective
on severe skin imperfections because micro
derma abrasion cannot reach deeper layers of
skin. |
