Dr. Zein Obagi created Obagi skin products and claims to have found the secret to stop aging. If you are in search of skin care products that really deliver results and help you look better and feel younger, Obagi products may be just what you are looking for.

Obagi Skin Care Products - Aesthetica Medical SpaObagi products deliver anti-aging results including skin rejuvenation and conditioning and reduction of wrinkles. Obagi skin products accomplish this in a short amount of time.

The majority of skin care products on the market treat only the surface of the skin, giving quick results, but they don’t last. In order to have lasting healthy skin you need to care for your skin at a cellular level.

When a person turns 30 their skin’s cell function slows down, which is a normal part of the aging process. Wrinkles appear when your skin is no longer producing elastin or collagen.

If any of the usual signs or photodamage or aging skin listed below are concerns for you and your skin, the Obagi Nu-Derm system may be just what you need:
 
  • Age Spots
  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles
  • Rough Skin
  • Skin Laxity (Sagging Skin)
  • Erythma (Redness)
  • Sallowness (Uneven, Dull Complexion)
  • Hyperpigmentation (Discoloration)
Dr. Obagi claims the only way to improve the appearance and skin is to restore normal cell function. This requires targeting the dermis and activating those inactive cells.

The Obagi skin products get retinol to the cells in the dermis. This restores the cell vitality and their ability to renew and regenerate. For healthy, youthful, and vital skin you need a high concentration of retinol.
 
Obagi skin products are made to transform your skin! Here are some of the benefits many have seen from using the Obagi Nu-Derm system:
  • Even, refreshed skin ton and texture.
  • Plump, nourished skin appearance.
  • Improved skin structure
  • Reduced hyperpigmentation

All About Chemical Peel Skin Treatments

A chemical peel is skin treatment that will smooth and improve the look and feel of skin. The chemical solution will remove the top layer of skin so the dead surface will peel off, leading to new skin growth. The new skin is usually smoother, healthier, and less wrinkled compared to the old skin. An aesthetic professional should always perform chemical peels.

Chemical Peels Utah - Aesthetica Medical SpaThere are three different kinds of chemical peels superficial, medium, and deep. The peels are categorized by the strength of solution used and how deeply it penetrates the skin. The deeper the peel, the further penetrates the skin and the longer the recovery time.

Superficial chemical peels are a great option for many people because they are much more gentle, require no pain relief, and can be used on most skin types with little to no recovery time.

Medium and deep peels can’t be used on darker skin tones and may take a few weeks for the skin to recover from the effects of peeling, inflammation and redness.

Chemical Peels can be used to treat several skin issues, including:

  • Acne: Superficial chemical peels exfoliate the skin, this allows dead skin cells to be removed easily, and excess oils on the skin are also removed. This will unblock hair follicles and pores and reduce the appearance of pimples. It will also improve skin texture.
  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles: Chemical peels can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles especially under the eyes and around the mouth.
  • Rough skin texture: Chemical peels can improve skin texture by increasing the amount of collagen in the upper layer of skin.

  • Lentigines (large freckles), liver spots, or age spots: A chemical peel can lighten the appearance of large freckles caused by sun exposure, liver spots, or age spots.
  • Melasma: Melasma is a dark skin discoloration, which appears as patches peels can lighten the look of the discolored skin.

  • Hyperpigmentation: Hyperpigmentation is caused by excess skin pigment in the skin, which can result in uneven skin tone. Chemical peels can lighten the appearance of the skin.
If you would like a free skin care consultation to discuss whether chemical peels are right for you, please call Aesthetica Medical Spa at 801-785-8884 today.

Find Out What a FotoFacial Can Do for You

It was believed by dermatologists and plastic surgeons that the best option for treating aging or problem skin was lasers. But as of 2010, a new technology is replacing the use of lasers. The procedure is called FotoFacial.  It is a skin rejuvenation process that uses different wavelengths of light to improve the look and feel of skin.

Your skin contains melanin; this is what gives your skin color and protects it from sun damage. Some people have too much melanin, which is known as hyper-pigmentation, others have too little melanin called hypo-pigmentation. FotoFacial can reduce such problems in the skin and also problems like rosacea, freckles, liver spots, and redness. FotoFacial can even remove tattoos.

FotoFacial treatments will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen growth and making existing collagen constrict. This makes the skin appear firmer and smoother. This means that FotoFacial is also useful in treating stretch marks and acne scars.

There are people who have naturally large pores, while there are others who have large pores because they are filled with oil and dirt. The collagen stimulation that takes place as a result of the FotoFacial can plump the skin around the pores, making them smaller.

FotoFacial energy damages or kills hair follicles, making it effective at removing unwanted hair. The FDA has fully approved FotoFacial for hair removal, making FotoFacial one of the few hair removal procedures the FDA recognizes.

Some skin treatments slough off skin cells, but FotoFacial does not. Instead, it works on the inner layers of the skin. Those who have FotoFacial treatments experience very little down time after the procedure. You can also use FotoFacial with other treatments that work on the surface of the skin, making the odds of getting flawless skin much higher.

Most people undergo a series of 5 to 8 half hour treatments, giving about 3 weeks between each treatment. After your first FotoFacial treatment skin will already feel smoother. FotoFacial is a low risk non-surgical procedure with clinical results. A FotoFacial will leave your skin feeling younger and rejuvenated.

This is a great time of year to get a FotoFacial!  If you would like to receive a free consultation on whether or not FotoFacials could help your skin's appearance, call Aesthetica Medical Spa at 801-785-8884.  Our Aesthetics experts will discss the procedure in more detail and answer your questions about what benefits you'll see.  We also invite you to browse our other Medical Spa treatments and Fantastic February Spa specials.  We look forward to hearing from you!
