Skin Care Products guaranteed to cause breakouts.

Most cosmetics have ingredients in their bases that cause acne and make it worse.

Natural Oils that that cause breakouts

All of these natural oils are high in oleic acid which is an Omega 9 essential fatty acid. Omega 9 essential fatty acids are great for the inside of your body but not for your skin if you are prone to acne.

The facts behind oleic acid producing acne.

Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid that is normally found with sebum in the sebaceous glands; this creates a liquid quality to the sebum and allows it to flow out onto and sooth the skin.

In the absence of linoleic acid in the sebaceous glands it is replaced with oleic acid. The combination of oleic acid and sebum is less viscous and promotes formation of plugs: blackheads and whiteheads and increases susceptibility to acne infection.

Adding oleic acid to your skin in the form of skin care products may not be a wise idea.

Linoleic acid

Linoleic acid is found in flax seed, evening primrose oil, fish oil, safflower oil, pumpkin seeds, brazil nuts, sesame seeds, avocados and wheat germ oil. Modern foods lack these essential oils. Instead they contain trans-fatty acids that may break down the body’s supply of essential fatty acids.

Dietary tip to avoiding acne.

People with very dry skin and continual follicle blockage that lead to blackheads, whiteheads and acne - may benefit from increasing their consumption of foods rich in linoleic acid or taking supplements such as flax seed oil.

Microdermabrasion was developed in Italy in 1985 and has become a popular skin resurfacing technique because of low risk and rapid recovery compared with other resurfacing techniques.

The original microdermabrasion machines used crystals with a sand blasting technique, however the newer diamond tip microdermabrasion is a more comfortable procedure.

Microdermabrasion has two main therapeutic uses:

Microdermabrasion is best delivered in a course of treatments

Although you notice the difference after one microdermabrasion treatment the true therapeutic benefit for acne clearance and anti-aging skin care is achieved with a course of treatments.

Broken capillaries describes the very small surface vessels that commonly appear on the face and chest.

What can treat broken capillaries?

Traditional treatment using diathermy has been superseded by less painful, safer and more effective intense pulsed light (IPL) light therapies.

Intense pulsed light therapy (IPL) can eliminate broken capillaries.

Intense pulsed light treatment is effective in treating broken capillaries. For many people we can eliminate these unsightly blemishes all together: at the very least you can expect a reduction in size and amount of broken capillaries and a more even skin tone.

It will usually take four treatments to see a progressive fading of the unsightly broken capillaries.

The second step in a non-surgical face lift is filling: to address areas of deep lines, folds and sagging.

Reasonably constant once you have reached the age of 40 are: nasolabial folds, marionette lines and fine lines and wrinkles.

These are caused principally by collagen loss in the face, so treating them requires replacing volume with either dermal fillers or collagen regeneration treatments - “liquid facelift.”

This article discusses dermal fillers, and the following article addresses .collagen regeneration treatments or the “liquid facelift”.

Dermal fillers to plump out lines, wrinkles and folds.

Static wrinkles and folds develop with loss of collagen, elastin and other support structures for the skin of the face. With collagen loss the skin is less able to hold itself so sagging starts and wrinkles, lines and folds become constant. Dermal fillers are injected beneath the wrinkle or line to ‘fill in’ or ‘plump up’ the depression.

What can be treated with Dermal Fillers

The areas most commonly treated with dermal fillers:

In addition to plumping out of wrinkles and lines, injectable dermal fillers are also used for rejuvenation of lips, this is discussed in an article later in this series.

Special considerations with Dermal fillers.

local anaesthetic cream and at times a local facial block is required.

The fillers give varying degrees of swelling and carry risk of bruising: for this reason they are best administered after work or going into a weekend, rather than a lunch time appointment. Certainly I would not advise these treatments before an important meeting, date or family function. (Not the morning of that new job interview for example).

When you discuss your plan for a non-surgical facelift your Doctor should consider these issues: so have your diary at hand.
