1. Amino Acids

They are found in protein and act as “messengers” between the outer and inner layers of skin to initiate the healing process and repair the skin. Different amino peptides have different uses: (Metrixyl and Argireline) help reduce dark circles under the eyes while diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.

2. Antioxidants

Antioxidants are naturally created in plants and animals but not humans. Vitamin C will neutralize free radicals while stimulating collagen and protecting the skin from sun damage. Applying vitamins and antioxidants will smooth, hydrate, and firm skin.

3. Retinol

Retinol is a derivitive of vitamin A that acts to nourish keratinocytes (is what makes up most of the outer layer of skin). It helps to thicken skin, produce collagen, improve skin tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

4. Alpha Hydroxy Acids

AHAs are another example of acids that are produced in plants and milk. They are like glycolic, lactic and polyhydroxy fruit acids that make big differences in removing dead skin cells. Ridding the skin of dead skin cells is exfoliating and exfoliating your skin is important for its rejuvenation.

5. Growth Factors

Growth factors (sometimes referred to GFs) are naturally created within the body to stimulate cell growth. Cell growth is the ultimate goal. GFs trigger rejuvenation and healing by creating new collagen, new elastic tissues, and new blood vessel formation. That means less lines and wrinkles for you.

6. Olive Leaf Extracts

Olive leaf extract is another antioxidant has been around for a long time. The extracts contain anti-bacterial, anti- inflammatory, and anti itching agents. Skin inflammation can hinder the skin from healing and repairing. Olive tree extracts will speed up that process.

7. SunScreen

You’ve heard this one before, but, sunscreen part of the fundamentals in skin care and helping to protect your skin from additional damage. Too much sun exposure can diminish the natural antioxidants on the skin and stop cells from creating more collagen. UVA and UVB protection is critical.

Is the Tria System right for ME?

Temporary results like those experienced with waxing and shaving can’t compare with the freedom that laser hair removal provides. After just a few easy treatments, you will be free from the embarrassment, inconvenience and worry of unwanted hair.

Because TRIA Beauty understands that lasting, hair-free results are a top priority for most people, we are hard at work to make at-home laser hair removal possible for everyone. But for now, the TRIA System is proven to be safe and effective only on individuals with light skin and dark hair.

You ARE a suitable candidate for laser hair removal if:
You have naturally medium brown, dark brown, or black hair and your skin is white, ivory, beige, or light brown.

You ARE NOT a suitable candidate for laser hair removal if:
You have naturally blonde, red, white, or gray hair; your skin is dark to deep brown or black; or you are of African-American, East Indian, Native American, or Pacific Islander descent.

Additional Precautions:
The TRIA System SHOULD NOT be used:

• On or around the eye area, including the eyebrows.

• On or around the face, head, ears, neck, nipples, genitals, or anus.

• By anyone under 18 years of age.

• By pregnant or nursing women.

How does Tria work?

It’s all about selective photothermolysis. Big word – simple to understand.

Photothermolysis is the process by which the TRIA System’s laser energy targets the dark pigment in the hair, where it is transformed into heat that disables the hair follicle. This targeted process causes the hair to gradually fall out and stop growing back.

It is important to understand that visible results are not immediate because hair grows in cycles.

During any single treatment, some hair follicles will be dormant with no visible hair growth and some will be in a growth cycle, where the hair is visible on the surface of the skin. To benefit from laser treatment, the hair must be in the growth cycle (visible prior to shaving) during treatment.

For optimal results, we recommend one treatment every other week for the first three months then one treatment per month for 3-5 months. This is the average amount of time it takes for the majority of the hair follicles to move through the growth cycle and be treated.

How do I use it?

The TRIA Laser Hair Removal System can be used on the legs, underarms, bikini line, back, chest, abdomen, arms, hands, or feet, or anywhere that’s suitable, below the neck.

Step 1:
Cleanse, shave, and thoroughly towel-dry the skin.

Step 2:
Press the skin sensor firmly against the area to be treated and press the blue button.

Step 3:
When the light turns green, wave the Skin Sensor over the energy level selector on the handle of the TRIA Laser to unlock the device. You will hear a series of beeps and see the top light on the handle turn off – this means the laser has been unlocked and is now ready for use.

Step 4:
Select the energy level that’s comfortable for you. There are three levels to choose from: 1 (low), 2 (medium), 3 (high).

Step 5:
Apply the tip of the laser to the skin and listen for the beep indicating that and the device has delivered an automatic laser pulse*. If you hear a buzz, the laser has misfired and you will need to re-treat the area.

Step 6:
Reposition the TRIA laser by overlapping slightly with the last treatment area and repeat until you have covered the desired area.

Step 7:
Repeat every other week for the first three months then one treatment per month for the next 3-5 months.

*When applied to the skin, the TRIA laser emits a single laser pulse, delivering a beam of light through the tip of the device. The tip is large enough to treat multiple hair follicles at a time in a concentrated area. Once the pulse is complete, the TRIA laser will emit a short beep, indicating you should move on to the next treatment area.

What can I expect after I use Tria?

During Treatment:
Some users experience a warm, prickling sensation, while others experience no sensation at all. As the amount of hair in the treated areas decreases, the sensation will also decrease.

After the first treatment:
There will be no visible change to the hair or the appearance of the skin. On occasion, some users experience mild redness that quickly dissipates within 24 hours.

After the second and third treatments:
Hair growth will begin to lighten and become finer. In some cases, it will appear as if the hair is continuing to grow. If you notice this, don’t panic – this is simply the skin working to eject the treated hair from the skin.

After the fourth and fifth treatments:
You will begin to see a visible reduction in the amount of re-growth, especially in areas where hair growth tends to be dense, like the bikini line for women or the back or chest for men.

After six to eight treatments:
Hair growth that has been treated and disabled by the TRIA System will not grow back.
As a result, the skin will appear smoother and virtually pore-free. Maintaining this smooth, hair-free result may require the occasional spot treatment of stray hairs that were either missed or not disabled completely during the initial 6–8 treatments.

Skin Care Education on Ezine

With a plethora of choices it is difficult to know where to start. Finding a clinical skin care professional that is experienced and knowledgeable can be challenging. A good clinical esthetician will not only guide you to the proper skin care regimen for home use, but will also lead you to results oriented services that bring real improvements to the look, feel and health of your skin. Nothing feels better than knowing you are putting your best face forward to a prospective employer.

Three less expensive procedures that bring a big bang for the buck are:

Deep Pore Cleansing Treatments: not only refresh the skin but literally clean the pores. Not all deep pore cleansing facials are equal. Many estheticians will say they do extractions or clean pores when in reality most of the time is spent rubbing on and removing product. Though this feels good, it is like going to your dental hygienist and only having your teeth polished and skipping the essential part of the treatment. Deep pore cleansing treatments include gentle extractions to remove clogged pores, unsightly blemishes, clear the skin and help control future clogged pores and breakouts.

Microdermabrasion: is another good choice for brightening the skin and exfoliating dead cells. A fine, controlled spray of crystals removes the outer layer of the skin, accelerating your own skin cell turn over, revealing the younger, tighter, healthier skin underneath. Microdermabrasion is usually a 30 minute procedure that is safe for all skin types and colors. Many people immediately notice improvements in the texture and appearance of their skin after just the first treatment. For a more aggressive treatment, light acids may be added to the procedure for greater results.

Chemical Peels: address skin damage caused by aging, accumulated sun exposure, acne, and acne scarring. They also are used to reduce and remove melasma, a skin condition that is characterized by brown patches that are irregularly shaped and occur commonly on the face and neck. Chemical peels are also performed on hands, arms, legs, chest and back. Light peels are the mildest of the chemical peels and include alphahydroxy acids or betahydroxy acids. They burn off the outer layers of the skin to smooth out fine lines, wrinkles and rough/dry skin. They also improve texture, skin pigmentation and may diminish acne scars. These peels are repeated often to achieve the desired results.

Home care regimens: are crucial to maintaining the results of your treatments. A knowledgeable skin care professional will not only assist in choosing the most results oriented services for your skin, but will also make recommendations for at home skin care products. Because each skin is different, she will have a variety of products to choose from. The products may, or may not be from the same skin care line but should be a combination of products with active ingredients that meet the needs of your individual skin.

Sheer coverage diminishes small imperfections and redness. Light reflecting particles. Micronized Zinc and Titanium Dioxide provide weightless, non-greasy particulate protection against the effects of harmful UVA rays. Oxtinoxate and Octisalate protect against UVB rays. Peptides help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Moisture balance with non-greasy Aloe Vera gel and naturally derived Squalene. I have found if you have very oily skin, this might not be the right product for you. If you are acneic, no problem as it will not add to breakouts. It will give you a hydrated dewy look.

There are many ingredients to choose from and every skin care provider will tell you why you should purchase their product. The ingredient retinol is still one of the biggest bangs for the buck. Retinol increases collagen production making skin appear thicker and firmer while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Skin clarity and tone is evened out providing more uniformity with increased brightness. Retinol is also excellent for acne-prone skin as it is a vitamin A derivative. Most complaints associated with retinol are its propensity to be irritating. Even using retinol 2 to 3 times a week will yield results. Companies like Avene have created Retrinal that is powerful and without irritation. Another company Ayur-Medic has a Retinol Cream with three different pro-retinoic acids that are time released allowing for a gentle delivery of the active ingredient retinol.

Though not inexpensive, growth factors have become the rage. Growth factors, not to be confused with growth hormones, are the latest in biotechnological research that is involved in cell regeneration, collagen, and elastin production. These functions help the skin stay smooth, firm and taut. As skin ages and suffers from sun exposure the skin produces fewer growth factors.

Benev manufactures a product called GF Complex that contains epidermal and fibroblast growth factors to replenish the skin’s supply of these crucial proteins and fight the signs of aging. Another popular product Benev carries is GF-DNA Serum which contains the above growth factors as well as three nourishing plant extracts that repair damage to the DNA strand in our skin, enhancing a more youthful complexion and diminishing signs of aging.

IS Clinical, another manufacturer, offers a moisturizer called Youth Complexthat includes potent antioxidants, natural hydrators and iNNOVASE bio-complex. Youth Complex provides rapid hydration for plumping fine lines and wrinkles and promotes controlled exfoliation, and stimulates collagen and elastin

Sunscreen continues to be one of the most important steps in skin care for maintaining young looking and healthy skin. It has historically been the step most people eliminate and it’s usually due to the fact that it feels heavy and greasy and clogs the pores. Sunscreens have come a long way with insuring they are oil free or non-comedogenic (will not clog pores). Cosmetically they have improved greatly, as they feel like a light moisturizer. The skin care company Revision makes a 45 SPF that has Intellishade technology. Within 5 minutes the sunscreen turns to your skin shade no matter what your skin tone or color is. It is light weight, offers UVA&UVB protection and delivers peptides that reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Many of my clients choose it for make up. Glytone has a sunscreen lotion that is a SPF 40>and is paraben free, fragrance free, non-irritating, oil free, non-comedogenic and mineral based with micronized zinc oxide. Micronized means that unlike years ago where zinc based sunscreen left a white film residue the micronized-sunscreen is clear when absorbed into the skin.

If you want a sunscreen that does double duty then you might like Jan Marini’s Antioxidant Daily Face Protection SPF 30 /Waterproof. Physicians and scientific researchers now recognize the tremendous preventative and anti-aging potential of antioxidants when applied to the surface of the skin. Antioxidants aid in preventing cellular damage and aging. Most importantly, when choosing a sunscreen, look for labels that say broad spectrum which insures UVA and UVB protection.
