Are you hiding your neck? Do you see a big difference between the age of your face and the age of your neck? Do you wish you had a way to tighten the neck?
It’s very common to have younger-looking facial skin versus the skin on your neck and chest (known as the décolletage). The décolletage is particularly vulnerable to visible aging. This skin tends to be thinner, less protected, and neglected in the skin care regimen. The result is a noticeable contrast between the face and neck.
Don’t let this area reveal your age. Obagi Medical has introduced the Elastiderm Décolletage System which is specifically targeted to correct, restore, and maintain youthful skin on these delicate areas.
Elastiderm Décolletage treats the damage to this area with a two-product system. Step 1 is a Skin Lightening Complex with 4% hydroquinone. This prescription strength lotion will reduce hyper pigmentation and age spots. Step 2 is a Wrinkle Reducing Lotion. Its unique bi-mineral complex restores elastin to the skin to tighten and firm Malonic acid stimulates new, healthy skin cells.
Significant reduction in pigmentation and wrinkles is seen in as little as four weeks. Time to throw out your turtlenecks and buy that sexy V-neck!
IS Clinical has three travel sets targeted for your specific skin care needs. Choose from IS Clinical’s Anti-Aging, Acne, or Hyperpigmentation Signature Kits. Each one is packaged in a stylish silver train case so you can keep up with your skin care wherever you are.
The Hyperpigmentation kit contains SkinMedica’s Cleansing Complex, Super Serum Advance, Active Serum, and SPF 25 Treatment Sunscreen. The Cleansing Complex has glycolic and salicylic acids which help to gently resurface the skin, revealing brighter, smoother skin. SkinMedica’s Super Serum Advance contains kojic acid and arbutin to lighten pigmentation as well as Vitamin C and Zinc Sulfate which are powerful antioxidants. Active Serum is used at night for dramatic improvement in skin appearance. Four different acids turn over skin cells faster to lift pigment. Finish with SPF 25 Treatment Sunscreen for protection.
The Acne Signature contains the Cleansing Complex, as well as Active Serum and SPF 25. In addition to Active’s lightening effects, the acids help keep acne under control. Hydrocool Serum is used to cool and calm the skin while healing.
The Anti-Aging Kit has the Cleansing Complex, Active Serum, and SPF 25, but adds Youth Complex. This cream immediately plumps and fills in lines, while amino acids and peptides repair and rebuild the skin structure over the long term. IS Clinical brings you pure, powerful ingredients in a ready to go case.
Hyperpigmentation is a darkening of the skin caused by an increase in melanin. Melanin is produced by melanocytes in the lower level of the epidermis. UV light is the main culprit of stimulating melanin production. Sun damage, acne breakouts, inflammation, pregnancy, and certain drugs and diseases can all cause hyperpigmentation. Pregnancy can cause melasma or “the mask of pregnancy”. Melasma is dark, brown patches, usually across the center of the face. The most effective treatments use targeted ingredients, IPL laser treatments, and glycolic peels.
Some of the effective ingredients for treating hyperpigmentation include Hydroquinone, Tretinoin or Retin A, kojic acids, alpha hydroxy acids, as well as licorice extracts.
However, Obagi Nu-Derm System is one of the most effective skin care lines for treating hyperpigmentation. The skin care set contains six products that work together to remove pigmentation in a matter of weeks. The Obagi Nu-Derm System penetrates deep into the dermal layer to regulate skin cell functions and actually corrects sun damage at the cellular level. Specific doses and frequency of application that are recommended by your skin care professional will remove visible darkening and will regulate the melanocytes so they don’t throw out more pigment.
There are four stages the skin goes through during its transformation. During the initial stage the skin will be red and flaky. As you move through the stages the skin will shed pigmentation as well as old skin cells leaving your skin even-toned, healthy, glowing and younger looking. Clinical studies have shown 2-3 times greater improvement with Obagi Nu-Derm than with hydroquinone alone.
You don’t need to hide your pigmentation behind layers of concealer and foundation anymore. Now you can have even, toned, glowing skin with the proper treatment.
