50-Something

After age-50 wrinkles and loss of elasticity become more apparent and occur sooner in women than men and skin also appears thinner due to a loss of fatty tissue. During the aging process the replacement rate of Collagen diminishes at a rate of 1% per year - This is the primary cause of wrinkling and loss of elasticity, however a variety of factors affect how our skin looks as we get older. These range from genetic predisposition and the general nature of our physiology including hormones, which designate our capacity for Wrinkles, Expression Lines and Skin Elasticity to controllable lifestyle factors that take place outside our bodies such as Sun Exposure, Alcohol Intake, Diet, Exercise, Smoking, etc. Poor health habits, lack of proper skin care, environmental and sun exposure and improper nutrition are responsible for about 85% of what we see as symptoms of aging skin, which means the majority of skin aging can actually be controlled.

The most important practices for Senior Skin are:  

1) Wearing adequate sunscreen at all times

2) Avoiding unnecessary sun exposure

3) Getting regular skin analysis & treatments 

4) Using a proper at home skin care regimen. 

Sunscreen and Sun exposure are a no brainer but designing the proper skin care regimen can be overwhelming on your own which is why re recommend coming in for regular skin analysis and treatments. During Skin Analysis your personal Skin Care Therapist will tell you the truth about what's going on beneath the surface of your skin - Have you been out in the sun too much without protection? Are you using products that are drying out your skin and causing unnecessary lines and wrinkles? Do you have spots that can be easily treated with a nightly layer of topical serum? This is the type of information our experts will gather with skin scope technology. And if you answered yes to one or more of these questions you may want to have a Microderm Abrasion treatment, use the Infrared Sauna or get a European Facial to rejuvenate your skin. 

These treatments combined with simple at home maintenance with user friendly products can take 20 years off your skin - No joke! Call today and let us know how we can help you look younger (310) 577-2211.

Detox with Infrared Sauna

Infrared Technology uses a special type of light to heat objects in the suana rather than heating the air floating around in it like other suanas do - It emits infrared radiant heat which is absorbed directly into the human body and can effectively raise the rate of energy expenditure in the body considerably. According the the Journal of the American Medical Association "A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 grams in a sauna...which is equivalent to running 2-3 miles," and while the weight of the water loss can be regained by drinking water the calories consumed will not be!

Conventionally Infrared Saunas have been used specifically for Weight Loss and Relaxation but they have far greater health benefits that many of us are unfamiliar with. They require 90% less energy than traditional saunas and heat up much faster and are more effective at deeply penetrating the skin. Through deep heat penetration the Infrared Sauna helps remove toxins and allows the body to detox from Alcohol, Nicotine, UV Radiation and Metals. Infrared Sauna is a great antidote to excessive UV Radiation and can help reverse damage from Sunburns.

 

It can also help Reduce Cellulite, Increase the extensibility of Collagen Tissue, Cure Chronic Fatigue, Promote Muscle Growth and Treat Acne by shrinking the Sebaceous Glands. Medical practitioners have reported that Infrared Sauna can be used to treat Arthritis, Bursitis, Sprains, Strains and Muscle Pain in addition to Hypertension, Edema, Diabetes and Pain Relief.
