Although there is no such thing as a “face lift in a jar,” certain products available today can effectively prevent and reverse the signs of skin aging. A daily regimen needs to replenish or restore what’s lacking and prevent or interrupt aging processes. In addition to reinforcing skin’s defenses with a daily application of sunscreen, an anti-aging regimen should rejuvenate the skin’s surface by restoring elasticity, supporting natural collagen production, and decreasing the appearance of wrinkles.

The first time I saw our AMP MD System I was nervous. I tend to be skeptical about skincare in general, and the prospect of rolling needles across my face scared me. So needless to say, I was a little apprehensive about trying Rodan + Fields AMP MD. But as a firm believer in anything from Dr. Rodan and Dr. Fields I was compelled to try it. In seconds I saw how pain-free the roller was. In fact, it feels good. And the results have been nothing short of astounding. Between the clinical trial results, before and after pictures and personal results stories I hear every day, the fact that this product will change the skincare industry isn’t just a line. It’s a matter of fact.

Common Questions

How much can really be accomplished by skincare? Should I just get a facelift?
Although there is no such thing as a “face lift in a jar,” certain products available today can
effectively prevent and reverse the signs of skin aging. A daily regimen needs to replenish or restore what’s lacking and prevent or interrupt aging processes. In addition to reinforcing skin’s defenses with a daily application of sunscreen, an anti-aging regimen should rejuvenate the skin’s surface by restoring elasticity, supporting natural collagen production, and decreasing the appearance of wrinkles.
What can I do about the loose skin that I have on my neck?
There is no reason you should stop your anti-aging skincare at your chin. We recommend using the ANTI-AGE Regimen Plus as directed, but continue down your neck and even onto your chest. The four step ANTI-AGE Regimen Plus includes Gentle Exfoliating Wash, Hydrating Toner, Skin Protectant Cream SPF 15 Sunscreen and Night Recovery Cream. Working on multiple skin levels, each product builds on the last, addressing the key causes of aging skin by providing exfoliation, collagen stimulation, moisturization and protection from environmental aggressors. You can also use ENHANCEMENTS Micro-Dermabrasion Paste twice per week to enhance cell turnover, improve skin tone and smooth texture.
I have deep creases on my chest, what can I use to get rid of them?
Creases down the center of the chest usually indicate that you’ve been sleeping on your side. When you sleep on your side, the weight of your body and gravity will cause the creases. We call these vertical lines down the center of your chest “sleep crush.” In addition to the formation of these specific lines, your sleep position can also deepen the natural lines of facial expression. This is especially apparent in the nasolabial folds (the lines that connect the nostrils to the outer corners of the mouth) and the marionette lines that extend from the lower lip to the chin.
You can train yourself to get off your side and sleep on your back. For lifelong side or facedown sleepers, this may feel uncomfortable at first, but you will get used to it. If you just can’t train yourself to stay on your back through the night, try the Therapeutica Sleeping Pillow, which is specially contoured to support the head and cradle the neck. We’ve had patients who have noticed fewer wrinkles after using this special pillow for only a week. We also recommend extending your anti-aging skincare to your face and chest.
I’m using the ANTI-AGE Regimen and would like to add a scrub. What do you suggest?
The Rodan + Fields ENHANCEMENTS Micro-Dermabrasion Paste provides effective at-home exfoliation, signaling skin to naturally renew itself and increase collagen production, evening skin tone and smoothing skin texture for a more youthful-looking, radiant complexion. This oil-free formula features Vitamins C and E and polishes skin with salt and sugar granules that melt away in contact with water. We recommend using ENHANCEMENTS Micro-Dermabrasion Paste one to three times a week in place of the ANTI-AGE Gentle Exfoliating Wash. Directions for use:
Massage directly onto skin of face for 30 - 60 seconds; do not wet skin before use. For gentler exfoliation, use on damp skin and slowly add water to lessen the intensity of the exfoliation.

Ingredient of the Week

Lentil seed ogliosaccharides are the natural sugars derived from lentil seed extract. They work below the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production, thereby limiting the pore distortion and slackening that naturally occurs with age. By tightening the pores, the skin appears smoother, brighter and overall—younger-looking.
Find pore structure-strengthening ogliosaccharides in new Rodan + Fields ANTI-AGE Pore Minimizing Toner.

[New post] Habits that Haunt
| | Habits that HauntDerm RF | October 5, 2010 at 10:17 pm | Categories: Habits that Haunt | URL: http://wp.me/pMnJi-dN |
As your skin ages, there are several things happening under the surface:
· Cell turnover decreases
· Collagen and elastin fibers decrease in content and weaken
· The moisture barrier becomes compromised, causing dry skin
Given the complexity of the aging processes listed above, there is no silver bullet that will stave off Father Time. To effectively combat skin aging, you need a comprehensive regimen clinically proven to address each of these major causes.

Patient Name: Anne*
Gender: Female
Age: 43 years old
Concern: aging skin
Doctor’s Notes:
Anne had been using topical retinol treatments as part of her anti-aging routine and seeing some benefits, but was ready to step up her skin rejuvenation program. As her dermatologist, I reviewed alternatives with Anne that included injections of fillers, alternative at-home treatment and procedures, or a combination of both. Anne opted to start with an at-home system that has clinically demonstrated consistently enhanced benefits.
I suggested she try treatment with a medical-grade roller as a step up in topical treatment before investing in more expensive and invasive procedures. I explained that topical anti-aging ingredients have the potential for significant benefits, but only if they can penetrate the skin’s protective outer surface. Our skin, by design, functions as a barrier to keep things out. For the most part, this is a good thing. The roller I recommend creates precise micro-channels in the skin so that potentially effective active cosmetics such as retinol would penetrate deeper into the upper layers of her skin. This roller could also help maintain her results in between chemical peels and micro-dermabrasion.
My medical-grade roller was a great solution for Anne. For anyone who is not satisfied with anti-aging skincare options, I recommend trying a new at-home roller system with 0.2 mm acupuncture needles and clinically tested skincare ingredients. This can be used daily for effective results and maintenance over time.
