Amp it Up!
The particular product offering that interested me was the MicroRoller and the anti-aging and reverse product lines. These products produce results! We have skin lightening gel from DermaCulture, and if you want a hydroquinone product at a great price point I hope you will try it. The DermaCulture product line works well when you are having the IDERM facials on a regular basis and will keep your skin in tip top shape. The MicroRoller can be used in addition to our in Spa services, and will help you deeply infuse treatments and stimulate collagen and the tightening anti-aging effect on your skin.

Product Highlight – Skin Lightening Gel from DermaCulture

Skin Lightening Gel
DermaCulture Skin Lightening Gel
Treat pigmentation while combating and preventing aging! Our advanced formula Skin Lightening Gel uses the perfect blend of ingredients to combat many conditions of the skin. The combination of glycolic acid, hydroquinone and ascorbic acid, will rejuvenate your skin, giving you a more youthful, brighter complexion.
Suffering from discoloration and uneven skin tone from acne scarring or sun damage is a common issue. Our Skin Lightening Gel uses 2% hydroquinone which causes the skin to inhibit the melanin production that leads to pigmentation. Further, our formula includes glycolic exfoliating agents, which dissolve and slough off dead skin cells, encouraging the generation of new, healthy skin. Additionally, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is included in the formula to counteract any skin irritation and provides antioxidants to reduce damaging free radicals, that are responsible for the start of the chain of events that damage skin.
This wonderful cocktail of ingredients is essential for everyone’s daily skin care regimen. It is great for all skin types and ages, for skin repair, maintenance and damage prevention.
TIP: Because some skin types are more sensitive to the sun with hydroquinone, it is recommended to use this product at bedtime before application of your night moisturizer. Also, don’t forget to use your sunscreen daily to maximize your results!

Aging Skin and Chemical Peels and Maintenance Facials
August 28, 2011 by Ruth Nuckols Cox
The long, hot summer of 2011 is nearing its end. This is the best time to begin your skin maintenance program with a series of chemical peels to mitigate sun damage from summer sun exposure and regular maintenance facials to hydrate, firm and rejuvenate the younger skin cells below. Sun exposure, acne or just getting older can leave your skin tone uneven, wrinkled, spotted or scarred. Deep exfoliation through chemical peels or chemical peels in conjunction with microdermabrasion over several weeks in a series can improve the tone, texture and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
Dermal Layers
Chemical peels provide several benefits and are especially preferred to treat acne and aging skin. An acid solution is applied to remove the outer layers of the skin. Chemical peels are is one of the least invasive ways to improve the appearance of your skin and can be performed on areas other than the face like hands, decolletage, etc. At a Spa like Bella Fontana Spa, we use mild to medium chemical peels and/or chemical peels in conjunction with microdermabrasion to change the tone and texture of the skin with little or now downtime or obvious damage to the skin. Deep chemical peels may require 10 days to 2 weeks of recovery.
If you want your skin to look smoother and younger, consider a chemical peel, which uses a chemical solution to remove the topmost layers, or the stratum cornium, of damaged skin and smooth the texture of your skin.
You can improve:
- Acne or acne scars
- Age and liver spots
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Freckles
- Irregular skin pigmentation
- Rough skin and scaly patches
- Scars
- Sun-damaged skin
A combination of alpha-hydroxy acids and beta hydroxy acids, such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid and maleic acid. All of these chemicals are the mildest choices. For best results you should repeat these treatments weekly for up to six weeks to achieve your desired results.
All chemical peels will carry some risks and uncertainties including developing an infection or scarring from chemical peels. Darker and certain skin types carry a risk of developing a temporary or permanent color change in the skin. Pregnancy, birth control pills or a family history of brownish discoloration on the face may increase the possibility of developing abnormal pigmentation. During a light peel such as those we perform, you may experience some redness, stinging, skin crusting and irritation from a light chemical peel. After repeated treatments these side effects will likely subside. Other risks include hyper pigmentation because your new skin may have too much pigment which will turn to brown blotches in sunlight. Avoid this by always using a high-factor sunscreen. Using an effective sunscreen and an anti-oxidant treatment will help prevent future sun damage as well.
Maintain and improve your skin with regular monthly maintenance facials to tighten, tone and hydrate to keep your rejuvenated skin in optimum condition. Look better and feel better with brighter and tighter skin.
Our Chiropractor on Staff – Dr. Kristina Stanley on Stress
June 21, 2011 by Ruth Nuckols Cox
How many times have you said, “I’m just stressed”? Stress is a physiological response to
changes that occur in our environment. Originally meant as a flight-or-flight mechanism that
was to be short lived to get away from immediate danger, our modern world has become full of
chronic stress which can lead to chronic illness. What are some causes of stress, what are the
effects on the body and most important, what is the remedy?
Many causes of stress could also be an effect such as pain or chronic degenerative disease. Too
much work and no down time with too little sleep are all too common in our modern day life.
These factors often contribute to poor nutrition which is an additional stressor on the human
frame.
Your body reacts to this chronic stress physically with headaches, neck pain, nerve irritation and
muscular contraction. These muscle contractions lead to misalignments that chiropractors call
subluxations. You can decrease your stress by having regular chiropractic adjustments to release
that muscle tension. When the irritation is removed your mind and body will start to heal and you
will feel your body return to a relaxed and balanced state.
Call 903.893.6222 to schedule a consultation, exam and/or adjustment with me.

You deserve the best!!
