Could Evolence Be The Fountain Of Youth?

Collagen is a protein which is responsible for your skin's elasticity. This protein is depleted as we get older, causing us to wrinkle as we age. The depletion of collagen can be hastened by factors including sun exposure, smoking and your genetic makeup. You can restore a youthful look to your skin by replacing this lost collagen with a dermal filler.

Evolence is a new dermal filler which can give you smooth, youthful looking skin by replacing your depleted collagen. Unlike many dermal filling procedures, Evolence begins working almost at once and the effects last between six months to a year. There is little to no bruising or swelling caused by this procedure and no skin testing needs to be done before beginning the procedure.

Evolence's unique formulation offers many benefits which other dermal fillers cannot. Evolence requires no refrigeration, so it is easy to store and is porcine, rather than bovine based; meaning that it does not need to contain the anesthetics which are needed in bovine based collagen based dermal fillers. Since pig skin is more similar to human tissue, it gives a much better result for your skin. Evolence uses natural sugars to provide durability and since it is so much more effective than other products, is less concentrated than other dermal fillers with their harsh chemical ingredients.

This product is relatively new to the United States, but has found wild popularity in Canada, Europe, and Israel. Many dermatologists think that once truly discovered here, it will quickly surpass other collagen fillers because of its radical, lasting results. It was only just approved by the FDA in June of this year. This is truly a breakthrough in skincare.

What is Peel Skin Treatment?

The peel skin treatment, is a beauty treatment that has been used since the 1930's for acne and wrinkle care and general improvement of the face. It's helped many people reduce the damage caused to their skin as a result of scarring caused by acne as well as the effects of aging. The peel skin treatment is a six to nine day chemical method of gradually peeling the outer skin layers to reveal healthier (IPL), blemish and wrinkle-free skin layers underneath. It rejuvenates the skins appearance and helps to stimulate the lower layers of the skin to produce more healthier skin cells. It uses special chemicals that induce the outer layers of fine skin tissue to peel away evenly, a carefully controlled process that takes six to nine days to complete for optimum results.

While peel skin treatment used to be offered only in a doctor's office, thanks to today's inventions and less harmful chemicals, it can be done safely in the comfort of your own home. There are several excellent product lines available over the counter that can be used by anyone to dramatically improve the youthful glow of their skin. The skin peel can also be used effectively to remove such nuisances as age spots, freckles, and hyper pigmentation in the skin caused by sun damage or illness. If used over the prescribed six to nice days, the skin will peel evenly to reveal skin that is clear of these pigment issues.

The peel skin treatment is also useful to people who suffer from acne and blackheads, caused by clogged pores or toxic buildup in the skin. As the chemicals gently work on the layers of the skin, the pores are opened up, infectious oil, bacteria and toxins are expelled from the skin and the complexion is cleared. This is much less damaging than trying to squeeze the oil out of the skin or using other methods. The peel skin method leaves less noticeable scars and even improves the condition of existing acne scars or oversized pores. Skin is then free of marks and is restored to its former beauty.

Another advantage of using the skin peel method of improving the look of your skin is that it evens out the skin tones and reduces the affects of skin damage to the lower layers of the skin. Sometimes this damage can't be seen right away, but over time it's what causes wrinkles and discoloration to form. Using the skin peel, these damaged layers gradually work their way to the surface where they are sloughed off and new healthier skin layers can form. Using a skin peel followed by wearing proper sunscreen can slow down the aging process and preserve the younger skin underneath from further damage.

When used properly, the peel skin treatment is an effective means to improve the look and feel of your skin. Be sure to choose high quality products that are right for your skin type and consult with a knowledgeable skin care specialist before attempting to do this at home.
