Researchers have found that elevated blood glucose causes skin aging and wrinkling. They found that in both diabetics and non-diabetics, elevated levels of blood sugar resulted in the production of glycotoxins known as advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) which cross-link with collagen fibers and result in a loss of skin elasticity. The crux of this data […]
Foods that Fight Wrinkles
Numerous studies have found that foods rich in antioxidants, potassium, and vitamins A and C limit the skin-damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. These foods do not replace sunscreen, nor do they make it acceptable to fry the skin in cancer accelerating tanning beds. Foods rich in antioxidants should be eaten every day of the year […]
Dry Winter Skin
Winter’s cold, dry air and indoor heating draw moisture from the skin, leaving behind a dull, flaky top layer. This winter dry skin highlights creases and fine lines, so it is important that our skin care regimen includes anti-aging and hydrating products. Hyaluronic acid serum not only hydrates the skin but helps keep the water […]
Sun Damage & Age Spots with IPL Photogenesis

Think you’re Getting Enough SPF from Make-Up? NOT A CHANCE!

This is dramatically more than the concentrations of cosmetics people apply in actual use. According to Leslie Baumann, MD, board-certified dermatologist and CEO of Baumann Cosmetic […]
July is UV Safety Month
Our understanding of precisely what damage Ultraviolet-A (UV-A) and Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) rays cause to the skin has evolved over time as new research has come out. UV-B rays are Burning rays and are the predominant cancer-causing rays. They are most intense between 10 AM and 2 PM, in the summer, closer to the equator, at […]
Renew: Improve skin tone and texture
Many women and men are seeing the long-term effects that sun damage has caused and are now looking for treatment options. The ultraviolet radiation we got in our teens and twenties broke down collagen and elastin in the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin. Without that supportive connective tissue, the skin has lost strength […]
