START WITH BEAUTY RESTORATION AND RENEWAL OF THE FACE AS PROPOSED BY BOLANDCELL©

Substantial and distressing changes affect your face, especially between 35-50-years in top gear. Both structurally and functionally. Do not start facial rejuvenation with lasers and be careful of flash-lights. The tell tale signs of aging, to mention a few, include creeping spotty pigmentation, dryness, dullness, sallowness, glabellar lineage, crow foot accentuation, periorbital puffiness and tiredness, vertical and sleep lines, nasty tiny vessels curling around the nostrils and climbing up onto the ala-flaps of the nose. And your wrinkle lifting and Botox are not as effective as in the past, because neck creasing, sagging, and jowls now dominate the face. And accentuated by chronological aging, past photo-damage and the awful inheritance of wrinkle genes of premature aging. Yes, depth of lines and wrinkles become more exaggerated as peri-menopausal aging becomes galloping consumption. Most ladies accept and take this scenario in their stride and age gracefully without a fuss. But more and more ladies are living longer and are informed regarding beauty therapy. Most want natural treatment that does not hurt, and are scared of powerful laser beams. They know that a single salon treatment is not the answer and that they have to fall back on their facial hygiene and cosmetic creams. But the modern corporate lady expects more and is attentive to new developments that can turn back the aging clock, but is safe and at least efficacious, or supported by robust science. They often have been down the road of RF, rejuvenation coloured-lights, masks, restructuring peptides, low-level lasers, microdermabrasion,  mesotherapy,  lifting creams, needle-rollers, redensifying collagen or retinoic based creams, wrinkle ablating serums, eye balms, mousses and matte etc etc..

THE MODERN CORPORATE WOMAN WOULD JUMP AT ONE OR MORE OF THESE ACHIEVABLE FUTURISTIC COSMETIC, BEAUTY OUTCOMES PROPOSED DURING 2008 BY BOLANDCELL© CONSULTANTS ACCREDITED BY IMCAS PARIS, FRANCE

BEIJING COMBINATION PHOTO-FACIAL RENEWAL ANTI-AGE SYSTEM AVAILABLE IN CAPE TOWN

To achieve the above goals and some of the cosmetic outcomes without harm, one needs combination treatment. All can be given at one session; no need for risky laser light emission, after an informed decision and the down–time is almost zero. The renewal approach performed by a consultant preferably in the afternoon is as follows:

Client-based, affordable, empathetic consultation, with skin analysis. Client points out areas of most concern to the medical consultant. Client does not change cosmetics or sun screens for fear of inducing an allergy. Consider Neostrata® Eye Cream (4 PHA...R240.00), backed-up by Neostrata® Day Time Protection Cream ( SPF 15 PHA 10.....R270.00; this cream has been rated very highly by FAIRLADY November edition 2008) On non-sensitive skins: gentle Neostrata® or TCA exfoliative chemical peel that needs repeating at 2 weekly intervals as induction therapy. Followed by interval peels that fit in with the clients program. Careful peels are highly effective in renewing the skin, proven, established throughout the United States and Europe, and used by dermatologists. Combination LED photofacial that rejuvenates the face, neck and décolleté, and has anti-inflammatory properties. No down-time. Combination and optional topical application of PLAZAN® Cosmetic Collagen Placental-based mask for 10 minutes: gives an excellent soft finish and touch as achieved in select Swiss Salons in the Alps, Hollywood salons and exclusive salons in Russia. No down-time and excellent soothing facial treatment par excellence with many advantages. See illustration.

Combination Monolisa IPL ablation of ugly nasal veins on the side-flaps of the nose. This will need a few sessions, usually 3-4, and takes a few minutes. Visible results within 3 weeks as the adjacent skin renews. No down-time and slight redness of the treated zone that disappears quickly. Combination carboxitherapy gently applied to the lower eye bags (peri-orbital) and sagging neck. A few skin-pricks, like mesotherapy ( aesthetic principle established by academic plastic and reconstructive surgeons, and safe). No downtime. Final post-treatment application of Neostrata® Bionic Face Cream (12 PHA), that gives a brilliant glow to the skin If one is looking for an excellent, absolutelypainless rejuve, consider needleless plasma resurfacing or PRP- mesotherapy of the face neck, neck, décolleté and back of hands without a single sore injection within 30 minutes.
