Maintaining that Youthful Appearance
Maintaining that Youthful Appearance We’ve all been told to stay out of the sun, wear sunscreen, drink water, use this product or that product. In reality, that’s just not reality. When it comes to keeping our skin young, there are things we HAVE to do, things we SHOULD do, and things that don’t really matter as much. What we HAVE to do The best way to insure a youthful appearance is making sure you are taking care of your skin, from the inside out. Drinking plenty of water, eating your fruits and veggies, abstaining from smoking and alcohol and staying active are all ways to help with this. Using a daily sunscreen is also the best anti-aging cream on the market. Sun damage is the sure way to cause wrinkles and fine lines, sun spots and a worsening of texture of the skin. Medical-grade skin care is honestly your best investment when it comes to preserving your skin. Think glowing skin. We love ALASTIN and iS CLINICAL when it comes to skincare because they are at the top of their respective grades for innovation and utilizing the most up to date research to come up with their products. Each of their products are formulated with you in mind, reaching every skin type and considering every person. ALASTIN is formulated with Tri-Hex technology that goes deep into the layers of skin to remove old collagen and elastin, then comes back in to increase cellular turnover to help your cells create new collagen and elastin. They are the only product on the market that offers this and their line is unmatched. iS CLINICAL is known for their serums. They have a serum for every skin type that utilizes botanicals and extremozymes to enhance your skins appearance. Voted multiple years in a row for the best anti-aging product, iS CLINICAL gets the job done and the results are un-paralleled. Want to know our favorite skin care products? Click below. What you SHOULD do Facials, chemical peels and microneedling are offerings at AIYANA that provide you with the upper hand when it comes to the overall appearance of your skin. When you implement these treatments into your routine, you will no only have that glowing skin from within, but you will also have an increased opportunity for cellular turnover, decrease in fine lines/wrinkles and will be ahead of the game. We love the idea of implementing facials into your monthly routine. Chemical peels and microneedling are great for a series of 3 every 6 months to a year. This maintenance routine will help your skins appearance, focusing on texture, tone and collagen production Of course, doing invasive procedures more often and on a scheduled routine are always going to get you the greatest result. Also, you can’t go wrong with a little botox and fillers to help with those deep lines and volume loss. What doesn’t matter too much We hear all the time, “try this product it’ll change your skin, or do this remedy to help with anti-aging”. We are bombarded with so many different ways to achieve a youthful appearance, but all in all, what really matters is what we talked about above. The bottom line is, wash your face, use medical-grade skin care, drink lots of water, eat healthy, treat yourself to facials, peels and microneedling at least a handful of times per year. There is no magic cream, lotion, pill or anything like that. It’s all about consistency and getting on good products that will take you the furthest with your skin care goals. Recent Posts
5 Ways to Boost Collagen
5 Ways to Boost Collagen Collagen is a common protein found in the body. It is located in tendons, fat, and ligaments as well as other places in the body. It is important for bone structure and strength. When there is a healthy level of collagen int eh body, it presents with a youthful appearance. Another type of protein found in the body is elastin. It is found in arteries and lungs as it aids in contraction. Elastin has the ability to snap back into place and maintain its original shape. Elastin and collagen are both found in the skin. When your skin has adequate levels, it is stronger and therefore more youthful in appearance. One fascinating fact about collagen is its ability to have a domino effect in your body. The more collagen you have, the better able your body is to produce and maintain collage. Let’s dive in on how to boost collagen. Vitamin C Vitamin C is helps with the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, which is known for its ability to speed up recovery and relieve painful joints. It is also the main component of dermal fillers that are used at AIYANA. Hyaluronic acid can help boost collagen product. It s naturally found in our bodies, but it does decrease as we age. Eating foods with high levels of vitamin C and amino acids can increase hyaluronic acid and collage in the body. This in turn is beneficial for our skin. Foods high in Vitamin C include broccoli, kale, strawberries, red peppers, and oranges. Check out iS CLINICAL Super Serum Advance, with Vitamin C. Algae Algae is from marine plants and it has been popular in beauty routines. The reason is due to the skin damage caused by oxidation, which can cause cellular damage. Algae can prevent oxidation from the environmental pollution. This in turn will help with collagen and elastin production in the skin. Our Hydrojelly masks at AIYANA are made from algae and will aid in this process. Book a facial treatment today to find out why we love our Hydrojelly masks! Antioxidants Antioxidants help protect the body from free radicals which can damage the cells. The job of most antioxidants is to protect the collagen cells that are present, not necessarily boost the collagen production. There are many different types of antioxidants in nature, most can be found in healthy, vitamin rich foods. iS CLINICAL serums also have antioxidants present that can be directly applied to the skin. Retinol Retinol is a type of antioxidant found in the skin. It can be applied topically as a great anti-aging product that actually boost collagen production. Collagen can increase the lifespan of collagen as well as protect the collagen that is already formed from the free-radicals. ALASTIN Renewal Retinol is a perfect product to add to every skincare routine. LED Red Light Therapy Red light therapy has been shown to increase collagen production and have anti-aging effects. After a facial resurfacing treatment, such as derma-planing, microneedling or microdermabrasion, applying red light can speed up recovery and increase cellular turnover for more collagen. At AIYANA, we love our Celluma Light Therapy just for this reason. Book your facial today and experience these amazing lights! Boosting collagen has a lot do do with skin care and diet. Making sure you are utilizing the tools that are available to get the most collagen production is imperative.

Anti-Aging & Men
Anti-Aging & Men At AIYANA, we love to treat our men, too. Signs of age in men are common and usually consist of scowl lines, lines around the eyes, or crows feet, enlarged pores, jowls, and an increase in oily skin. But, what about skincare, tone and texture? A lot of individuals, not just men, neglect that part of their health and when the 40s come along, it’s hard to catch up. Here are the details, just for men, to help with their anti-aging regimen and improve their skins health. Change Your Cleanser Game When it comes to cleansing your skin, a bar of soap might suffice for some men. It’s convenient, available and what you might be accustomed to. But, its not the best for your skin. I love what Dr. Colbert says about this topic. �You wouldn�t wash your favorite cashmere sweater in Tide detergent, would you?� he asks. �Think of your skin as a fabric�it�ll age like cashmere or a pair of jeans. It gets beaten up, threads get thin, and you get holes in the knees. It�s a living fabric.� Cleanser is the first step to creating an effective anti-aging regimen. Rinsing your face with warm water, then lathering up the cleanser in your hands and then rubbing it on your face to cleanse the area. Rinse with warm water. Use a hand towel to dry. Acne prone skin would be better off dried with paper towels due to the bacteria that is present on hand towels when only washed every 1-2 weeks. Our favorite cleanser is ALASTIN Gentle Cleanser ($45). Serums, Moisturizers & Anti-Aging Creams Our love for serums runs deep and that may have something to do with iS CLINICALs revolutionary serums. When a serum for everyone that is tailored for your skincare needs. Every client at AIYANA is on a serum and it is something we feel passionate about. Here are a few of our favorites. Hydra-Cool Serum— with its ability to act as a moisturizer, in serum form, this one is for all dry skin types. It has a cooling sensation when applied and it leaves out the greasy moisturizer feel. Super Serum Advance+— When it comes to skincare, having a growth factor in your regimen is paramount. This serum not only brings a growth factor, but also has Vitamin C to help brighten the skin. Lastly, it is infused with botanicals and antioxidants to protect the skin from outside elements. Win-Win-Win. Pro-Heal Serum— Blemish prone or have areas of dry/red patches on your skin? This serum is for you. Plus it helps with healing any skin concerns, such as sunburns and rosacea. A great serum to have in your back pocket. Active Serum-– This is iS CLINICALs most loved product and serum, ranked #2 serum in the world. This serum is one that can be used as a spot treatment or an all over facial serum, with anti-aging properties to help with fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, and dry skin. Plus, it feels like a little facial in a bottle. Our favorite. Our must-have anti-aging cream is ALASTIN Restorative Skin Complex, with its Tri-Hex Technology that is formulated to go into the cells of the skin and clean out the old collagen and elastin. After that process is complete, it this targets the cells to product more collagen and elastin. If there is 1 anti-aging product that is a must-have for our clients this is IT. You will notice improvement in the texture and tone of your skin within 2 weeks. It’s that incredible. Consider Anti-Aging Treatments When it comes to fine lines and wrinkles, non-invasive treatment at the spa are going to give you the quickest results, almost immediate. Don’t be afraid of getting a little Botox to reverse that permanent scowl line that you’ve been noticing more and more lately. Botox is a great treatment that will take care of those pesky lines and after a few treatments, they will disappear forever. What seems to be most concerning for men is the fear of anyone knowing that they actually have gotten Botox treatments. No one will know, unless you want to tell them. At AIYANA, we firmly believe in enhancing your natural contours, not changing your face. Plus, Botox is for softening lines, NOT adding volume. There will not be any distortion of your face, and our goal is to keep the masculine features you already possess. Plus, keeping movement in your face is the most natural way to approach Botox in men and that is always our goal. Other treatments to consider are facials, chemical peels, microneedling and even filler. But, let’s take it one step at a time. Schedule your consult today and we can come up with a customized anti-aging regimen just for you. Recent Posts
