New Advancements in Anti-aging Winter Park Procedures
February 10, 2009 – 2:58 am
Decades ago, wrinkles were considered as natural signs of aging which can’t be prevented. When wrinkles develop on your face, you can’t do anything about it. You will just have to face the fact that your face has changed a lot and your youthful glow is gone.
Now, thankfully, there have been many advances in dermatology and cosmetics so everyone can simply get rid of their wrinkles and other signs of skin aging. Among the many wonders that are available nowadays are the new cosmetic products and anti-aging Winter Park procedures in Central Florida.
The secret to youthful glow: The longevity gene
Before, the most popular way of preventing skin aging is to avoid excessive exposure to the sun’s rays. Today, many researchers and dermatologists have created a buzz on the use of anti-oxidants, gene therapy and enzymes. To add to this long list of buzzwords for anti aging is “the longevity gene”
Many companies in the anti aging Winter Park cosmetic industry have conducted extensive researches on the development of various creams and pills that aim to genetically reprogram a person’s tendency to age. Among the most important products of their studies is the discovery of the SIRT-1 dubbed as the “longevity gene”.
“This is the biggest breakthrough in anti-aging science, the fact that somebody has been able to isolate the gene which controls the way cells are aging,” notes Dr. Daniel Maes, senior vice president of research and development for a popular anti aging product manufacturer. Based on the studies, the SIRT-1 gene can extend the life of cells in the skin and slow down aging. To stimulate this particular gene, a chemical compound – resveratrol – must be used.
A new method: Nano technology
Another method that’s popular for anti aging Winter Park cosmetic companies is the use of nano liposome technology. In this process, a small capsule is used to transport vital chemicals that are needed by the skin. Since the nano capsules are so small, they are easily absorbed by the skin cells through the hair follicles.
“Nano liposome is a very small particle that is able to pass through the skin to deliver vital nutrients. Five years ago, technology was limited where the products only stayed on the surface of the skin and now, with new technology, the molecules are easily absorbed topically,” explains Stephanie Scott, a public relations director 3LAB, Inc. a cosmetics giant.
The use of “Derma Fillers”
After the Botox comes an innovation in the anti aging Winter Park cosmetic companies – the use of new derma fillers which are claimed to work effectively in flattening and clearing out wrinkles. Instead of Botox, many plastic surgeons now use Restylane and Radiesse.
“We are not using these as crack-fillers any more, we are using them to put volumization back in the face,” explains Dr. Vito Quatela, president of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. “We are combining fillers now. Any given patient might have three different fillers,” Quatela adds.
