Advanced Cosmetic Surgery Center is excited to announce the arrival of our new skincare line IMAGE! It is truly unique due to the pharmaceutical-grade ingredients with medical effectiveness, which achieves clinically proven results, and it’s affordable! IMAGE believes in addressing all skin care concerns while reaching and maintaining your desired results.

The IMAGE Skincare philosophy: Beautiful skin starts with healthy skin. To maintain and improve skin health, an effective, professional pharmaceutical skincare regime is essential.

Restoring and maintaining optimal skin health cannot be accomplished utilizing traditional over-the-counter products, which only treat the surface of the skin. IMAGE Skincare professional products work at the cellular level to diminish fine lines, fade sun damage, increase hydration and stimulate cellular turnover for more youthful looking skin.

Stimulate, nourish and protect.

All IMAGE products are free of chemical preservatives and are paraben free.

What Happens to our Skin as We Age?

As we age, our skin naturally will age with us. What we do and how we live will also affect how our skin looks with each passing year. For example, if you are a smoker, the constant inhaling and squinting actions will increase the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth, nose and eyes. In addition, the smoke in your body will reduce the production of oxygen to the blood stream. A lack of oxygen in the blood stream means your skin may develop a sickly pallor.

If you spend time in the sun without the benefit of sunscreen, you are likely to develop spots which can become skin cancer. The sun’s UV rays draw moisture out of the skin leaving it dry, brittle and leathery-looking over time.

High levels of stress, gravity and sleep also contribute to skin damage as we age. A loss of elasticity in the skin will cause jowls to sag and skin will hang loosely. A natural process of the outer layer of skin thinning can leave it looking almost transparent. Along with this, the blood vessel walls thin and our skin tends to bruise easier.

Eating well, exercising regularly, drinking lots of water and using sunscreen when you are outside will all help in keeping your skin healthier longer. For many, skin care treatments are used to help remove and repair unhealthy skin, especially on the face and neck.

If you are considering skin care procedures such as Botox, chemical peels and others in the Denver, Cherry Creek or elsewhere in Northern Colorado, please contact us today.

Be Kissable This Winter!

Attention all men and women! Do you avoid kissing your loved one during the winter months for fear they may feel more like sandpaper than soft, supple lips? Don’t’ worry… dry, chapped, rough, peeling lips are treatable!

Colder weather means less moisture in the air outside, and the moisture zapping heater inside causes the moisture on your lips to evaporate much quicker than it would during the warmer months.

Follow these simple steps for a soft, full pout all winter long.

· Place a small amount of granulated sugar in the palm of your hand, add a couple drops of water and mix until it is a paste-like texture. Apply to your lips in a light, circular motion to exfoliate. Make sure not to apply too much pressure, which could over exfoliate and become irritated. Then rinse with cool water and immediately apply a moisturizing lip balm.

· If you do not wish to use sugar there is another option. Apply a coat of plain, unflavored yogurt to your lips and leave on for 2 minutes. Then take a baby toothbrush and softly rub your lips in small circular motions. Rinse with cool water and immediately apply a moisturizing lip balm. The lactic acid naturally found in yogurt gently softens and lifts dead skin and the soft toothbrush will gently remove the loose, dead skin from your lips giving you a soft and smooth pout.

Remember to reapply your lip balm throughout the day to prevent moisture loss. During the day it is very important to use a lip balm with at least SPF 15. Sun exposure on unprotected lips can also cause dryness and peeling. At night it is best to apply a generous amount of a repairing yet moisturizing lip balm to rejuvenate and heal while you sleep so you can wake up to soft and supple lips every morning.

Now you can stay kissable all year round!
