About Your Skin

Whenever one talks about anti-aging skin treatment for wrinkles, laxity, blemishes and other sun related damages of the skin, the first thing that comes to mind is either surgical facelift, laser or chemical peel. Yet, even in the best of hands, statistics have shown that 1 out of 5 patients who have undergone a facelift usually comes back for a second lift after 5 to 7 years. With subsequent facelift procedures, the interval becomes shorter and shorter.

Research conducted by the MacArthur Foundation Research on Aging and the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging have both discovered that the changes of aging is no longer the by product of the chronological passage of time but rather by lifestyle changes such as proper nutrition, improved mobility or exercise and a positive mental attitude.

As the aging proceeds, there is a natural decrease of collagen, elastin, and circulation both vascular and lymphatic which are the very foundations of our skins youthful look. This, in addition to the pulling effect of gravity on our facial skin and muscles, leads to the complete picture of an aging face.

As simplistic as it may seem, the sensible and practical approach to maintaining a youthful appearance is to design a program that addresses what has been lost or depleted. Such is the goal of the corrESthetiques program, which is based on a proactive approach of prevention, correction and maintenance.

With a muscle specific exercise program to strengthen and tone the muscles, proper sun protection, nutrition, antioxidant supplementation and cardiovascular exercise, one can expect safe, more natural, longer lasting, radiant and youthful skin.
