FACIAL EXERCISES  by Beauty Redefined     There are 44 muscles in the face and toning these muscles gives the face a brighter appearance, a natural lift, smoother skin,and results in a younger look.   Use these face exercises to tighten up your skin and get it glowing - exercises the chin area to reduce those sagging jowls and 'turkey' neck. The hardest part of these face exercises is keeping them up - try to get into a routine and do them every morning or every evening or when watching the television or doing the ironing - with only 5-10 minutes of daily face exercises you should see results and that sagging face should slowly disappear.   Forehead To firm up your forehead place your index fingers just above your eyes and pull down while trying to raise your eyebrows - repeat 10 times   Eyes and Crows Feet This ones easier said than done - I've not managed it yet!! - try raising your lower eyelids without moving your upper ones - repeat 10 times   Cheeks Push your lips out and make a round shape, stretching forward, now smile as wide as possible  - hold for a second and resume the round shape - repeat 10 times   Lips 1) Suck on your finger as hard as possible and then slowly remove it - repeat 10 times 2) to get rid of smokers wrinkles! (STOP SMOKING) and hide your teeth with your lips and then make a small 'O' shape, keeping the lips as tense as possible smile as wide as possible.   Neck and chin 1) Looking straight ahead place the index finger and thumb on your neck and gently pull the skin down as you lift your head - repeat 10 times 2) Keeping your mouth closed and your teeth together press the tip of your tongue against the bottom of your lower teeth, gradually increasing the pressure to the count of 10, hold for 6, and slowly release - at the same time , use 2 fingers at the hollow of your neck as resistance - gently pressing in. 3) Jut your lower lip out as far as possible, place your fingers on your collarbone and point your chin as high as possible and then pull the corners of your mouth down. 4) Place your thumb behind the bone just under your chin, press tongue against your lower  gums and pretend to touch your tongue to your thumb. 5) Tighten your chin muscle as firm as you can by pushing your lower lip up and out as though  pouting. Tighten as hard as you can so chin turns white and dimpled. 6) Begin looking straight ahead with your chin level. Turn your head to the right so that it is even with your right shoulder and then push your head backwards. Hold 6-8 seconds. Return  head to forward position with chin level. Turn your head to the left, even with your left  shoulder. Push your head back and hold 6-8 seconds - repeat 6 times   ...read more

FDA approves new non-invasive Ultrasound Face LiftFriday September 18, 2009You may have heard about non-surgical skin tightening (also known as thenon-surgical face lift.  though the technology can be used on the body as well). Until recently, the tightening was accomplished using radiofrequency (as in Thermage), infrared (as in Titan), or laser (as in Laser Genesis). Well now there's a new kid on the block: ultrasound.On September 15, 2009, Ulthera announced 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market the Ulthera System, the first-ever ultrasound device for aesthetics that combines ultrasound imaging with focused ultrasound therapy to provide non-invasive lifting of the skin. One of the differences between ultrasound and other methods of non-surgical skin tightening is a technology the company calls "DeepSEE", which allows doctors to visualize the tissue beneath the skin and precisely deliver ultrasound energy to a prescribed depth. As with other non-invasive skin tightening procedures, the ultrasound energy is used to create a controlled injury to the underlying tissue. This injury then triggers the body's natural healing response in treated areas, resulting in increased collagen production which provides a firming, tightening, and lifting effect over time.The new procedure is dubbed "Ultherapy", and is approved for lifting and tightening of the forehead and brows, though the company claims it has also shown promise in the lifting and tightening of the lower face and neck. In clinical trials, the treatment resulted in little to no downtime for patients with results still noticeable at 10 months after treatment.It is important to note that non-invasive procedures like Ulthera cannot accomplish all the same things in the same way as a traditionalbrow liftorface lift. However, if you are scalpel-wary, budget-conscious, or too young to need surgery quite yet, the FDA approval of Ulthera presents yet another option in a growing arsenal of less extreme anti-aging options.For maximum effects 5-8 treatments are recommended. Contact us today at 408-356-7050, to see if ultrasonic lft is right for you. ...read more

Photo facial is a generic term for a skin treatment that uses some kind of light-based technology. Photo facials (sometimes called foto facials) have a number of different uses, but are mostly used for boosting collagen or treating various skin conditions such as acne, brown spots, broken capillaries, etc.The two main types of technology used for photo facials are LED (light-emitting diode) and IPL (intense-pulsed light). They are completely different, so it'sextremely importantto understand which photo facial technology is being used. That way you are more likely to get the results you hope to achieve.An LED photo facial is a very gentle treatment that uses narrow spectrum light to boost collagen, which creates plumper, younger-looking skin, or to kill the bacteria that causes acne. This type of photo facial is more likely to be found in amedical clinicwith a serious focus on esthetics.LED photo facials are painless, cool and relaxing, and (unlike laser treatments) carry no risk of burning. The best results come after a series of photo facial treatments. To begin, a series of six treatments with a one-to two weeks between is recommended. After that, maintain with a treatment every month or two. It can be part of afacialor a stand-alone treatment.LED photo facials are a good choice for people who want to boost collagen or treat acne. Their collagen-boosting, facial rejuvenation properties have been proven with medical research. The results won't be as dramatic as plastic surgery, but it's a gentler, more natural, less expensive way to go.Photo facials work best in conjunction with a regular skin care routine that you develop with our Specialists.Contact us atwww.Beauty-Redefined@sbcglobal.net  for more information or call us at 408-356-7050. ...read more

Out of all the skin care treatments available today, microdermabrasion is among the most effective.Diamond microdermabrasionespecially is effective on a lot of kinds of skin concerns, and it's so quick and painless you'll wonder why you waited so long.Microdermabrasion is considered an advanced method of exfoliating the skin. Skin exfoliation is necessary for ridding dead skin cells on the upper-most layer of your skin. If left untreated, a variety of skin problems often occur. By using micro dermabrasion, the process is completed much quicker which encourages the production of fresh new skin cells. What this means for your skin is a more radiant, healthier look through skin cell turn-over.Traditionally offered by professionals, microdermabrasion offers quick improvement for skin concerns such as lines and wrinkles, blemishes and related scarring, stretch marks, age spots and sun damage. This method works especially well on issues such as acne which is caused by an abundance of dead skin cells leading to an infection within the skin. By removing this buildup of cells, skin is improved and future problems are minimized or eliminated.Although there is a similar strategy known as crystal microdermabrasion, it is not as good as microdermabrasion using diamonds. Crystals can have some bad side effects compared to the diamond method. The crystal process works a bit differently from the diamond process because it can leave dust particles on your skin. These particles can be inhaled and result in some unhealthy consequences.While good results can be realized from the safe areas treated with crystals, the delicate eye area and skin around the lips must be avoided. Unfortunately, these areas are usually where the first fine lines and wrinkles appear. Fine lines often develop in these areas and represent the main reason many want skin treatments in the first place.Diamond-based treatments on the other hand produce none of the harmful dust that results from crystals. As a matter of fact, they can be used near the eyes and around the mouth area where the signs of aging are first observed. The anti aging skin care benefits of the diamond tip machine are far superior to its competitors.Microdermabrasion treatments can be scheduled in almost every city nowadays as there are a variety of clinics, salons and spas offering the treatments. Expect to pay for a series of treatments because this is a procedure that needs to be performed on a consistent basis to maintain good results. Most women, and even men, find the benefits are worth the expense and continue with treatments indefinitely.If you can't or would rather not afford so many trips to a clinic, then you should look at purchasing an at home microdermabrasion device. You can even buy an at home diamond microdermabrasion machine that can be used over and over again.Click here to learn moreThis type of system is intended to be operated without a professional, but can still give you professional-in the market results. Whatever choice you make, your skin will look and feel fantastic with consistent treatments.

Once or twice per week, if you have the time, you can give your face a healthy dose of antioxidants, fruit acids, and plant hormones by using ingredients that you can find right in your refrigerator.  Choose the food that most appeals to your sense of smell; you'll be getting aromatherapy benefits as well as direct benifits to your skin.  Plain yogurt applied to your face makes a nourishing mask that gives your skin the benefits of lactic acid and aslo the hydrating effects of milk proteins.  You can add pureed fresh fruits to it.  (Don't use sweetened yogurt.  The sugar is harmful to the skin.) I love thinly sliced cucumber applied to my eyelids and cheeks to help me relax and get ready for evening.  Green tea bags, moistened and applied to the eyelids, also give your eyes a soothing antioxidant life.  And mashed-up fresh fruits such as peaches, strawberries, or apples can all be mixed with finely ground oatmeal to form a nourishing facial mask.  You can also use parsley or even fresh basil, rosemary, or thyme.  Remember, the skin will absorb the nutrients from these foods in about 15 minutes, so you don't need to lie down any longer than that to benefit from a rejuvenating facial mask.  Try a dash of Tumeric powder or Sandelwood! ...read more
