New Anti-Aging Treatment: Carboxytherapy

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Recently I heard about Carboxytherapy, a new beauty treatment that’s designed to make you look younger. It’s been popular overseas for years, so I wanted to find out more about it and went to Dr. Fardad Forouzanpour to find out more. He’s a Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon and is the founder of Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgical Group. Here’s more about this treatment.

Can you briefly tell us how Carboxytherapy works and the benefits of it?

Carboxytherapy is a procedure whereby an extremely small needle containing carbon dioxide is injected into the skin and the fat layer beneath the skin.  The presence of carbon dioxide in the tissue stimulates a number of cellular and chemical reactions.  These include increased vasodilation (dilation of the blood vessels), which causes more blood flow and more oxygen flow to the area.  The increased blood flow stimulates collagen production and breaks up fat cells which results in skin tightening and skin color improvement.

CYTOMIMIC: Our Skin’s New BFF

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

I know this isn’t very glamorous, but at the recent American Academy of Dermatology meeting, a bunch of MDs got together to disclose their latest and greatest ingredients for beauty products and the one I heard about and was blown away by is CYTOMIMIC.

This new technology is clinically proven to significantly reduce the hallmark signs of aging and in some cases can do so, in as little as 30 minutes! It will let you feel like you’re traveled back in time as it reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles and the appearance of crow’s feet. It also has the power of making you look fully rested by transforming your eyes as it diminishes the appearance of bags, reduces the look of dark circles and lifts the appearance of the eyes. And while it’s performing its miracle work, it improves radiance and brightness and skin softness and smoothness at the same time!

But here’s the best part, you don’t have to be an MD to get your hands on this stuff because it is now incorporated to three new product lines from Neutrogena, AVEENO and RoC. And trust us, pretty soon you’ll have people asking you your anti-aging secrets!
