Perhaps you saw the piece about Fraxel on Good Morning America today (2/1/08). What is so exciting is that the new fractional skin rejuvenation is a great improvement over older CO2 laser resurfacing. In the past CO2 ablative laser resurfacing (see photo below) was the “Gold Standard” for wrinkle removal and skin tightening, however prolonged and difficult recovery time with peeling skin made this procedure unacceptable for most people.

During the past three years...

Why are some anti aging facial moisturizer products so costly?One important point is that cost and value don't always go hand in hand.  Just because a skin care product is expensive also doesn't guarantee it works.  The fact is many anti aging products simply don't work.

Let's look at a few companies that frankly turn out substandard skin care products but charge "an arm and leg" for them.

I'm not going to name names but you can easily find them at...

With the release of the studies that explained the many benefits of the polyphenol found in red grapes people from all over began to search for a source of high potency resveratrol. Of course, the substance is readily available in wine, but how much of that can you get away with drinking? Trying to obtain enough of the substance through that method would also lead to too many other problems.

Scientists have been studying this compound for quite an extensive amount of time...

Do you use anoil free anti-aging facial moisturizer? I am going to explain to you why this is not a good idea. So, please take a few minutes and read my article. I hope that you will agree with me.

Now, you may feel that using an oil-based moisturizer can lead to clogged pores and acne breakouts. This is true if you are using a product that contains mineral oil. This oil will definitely clog the pores, cause acne, and other skin irritations.

Elastin in skin tissue can mean the difference between soft, supple skin and skin affected by wrinkles and sagging.   It’s the reason why younger people have wrinkle free skin…they have more natural elastin in their bodies.  We can’t prevent the loss of elastin as we age, but now there is a way to help stimulate our bodies to create more.  It’s one of the most exciting advances in skin care in recent years.

All pain is ultimately due to inflammation. You generally begin to notice inflammation if you have swelling in your joints and tissues, but you really begin to pay attention when it creates pain. This kind of inflammation manifests itself as what I call screaming pain. You know it when you have it, and probably deal with it by reaching for an anti-inflammatory drug like aspirin or ibuprofen. If those over-the-counter drugs don’t work, then you may reluctantly go to your physician...

As we getting older, and as a matter of facts all of us are getting older and can not turn back the time, we are experiencing what so called aging symptoms or signs of aging. And truly these symptoms or signs do not bring any good to us. Some of these visible negative effects are gray hair, losses of vision, memory loss, wrinkles, lack of immune system, sleep problem, decrease of energy and sexual drive and there are still many more to be mentioned.

It is possible to fight off aging with grape seed extract due largely to the antioxidant effect of the phytochemicals contained within the seed of the grape. The seed is rarely absorbed by your body because it is so difficult for your digestive juices to break down; significantly more difficult than the skin or the pulp. So what is specific about the seed that makes it so useful as a source of antioxidants? That shall be discuss shortly, but for now let's discuss the causes of aging,...

It has been said that you can tell if a person is aging because of the wrinkles on his or her face. It is true that wrinkle comes with aging but there are other causes that lead to a person looking older than he or she really should. What are these wrinkle causes? How does one find an anti aging skin care treatment for wrinkles? So why do old people have wrinkles? This is because skin becomes less elastic and connective tissues containing collagen and other proteins degrade over time....

One of the prime factors that helps in aging is the release of HGH or the Human Growth Hormone. And the secondry factor is the formation of wrinkles over the face. The science which deals with the study of aging is called gerontology.

Also, as one gets old, he catches a number of diseases, such as diabetes, High Blood Pressure, etc. What can be done to prevent all this? Can those applied creams prevent this process? No. Never. What we need is something natural, we need Aloe-Vera....
