VERY, VERY SUPRISING USES FOR BOTOX THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH FOREHEAD WRINKLES

Hi ya Gorgeous,
How is your post Christmas, middle of Hanukkah, pre-New Year's Eve week going? Mine is going ...well...I'm not one to say negative things, but let's just say that I am really, really ready for 2016 to be over. Kaput!


Maybe it is this year, or my age, though I am finally ready to really consider beauty maintenance beyond just wash/scrub/treat/moisturize. I'm ready to look at microblading my brows, and some botox for the "11's" between my eyes. 

With that said, here's a guest blog post on the many benefits of Botox!

OBAGI rosaclear system: some for you & some for me!

Deep Clean Your Way To Perfect Skin

Say good bye to bad skin for good with these tips and tricks

Whether we admit it or not, we all want flawless skin. But getting it can be quite the challenge for most of us. That's why we put together this guide, so you can finally get the skin you want. See guide

Obagi rosaclear system!
Rosacea is a skin condition that usually shows up on the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead and appears red, reddish, and splotchy even. It may include papules and pustules which are acne like pimples. It’s common to more than 14 million Americans and many of those with rosacea may not realize that they have it.
There really isn’t a “cure” for rosacea but there is a new and great way to treat it and help manage the symptoms.
Many times, rosacea flare ups can be triggered by emotional situations or stress filled episodes of life…just when you don’t want to appear red in the face, like a job interview!

Rosacea tends to affect those with fair skin most, and both men and women especially those over 30 years of age experience the skin condition.
Now, with the Obagi rosaclear system that was just launched in January 2009, there is a gentle dermatologist tested and allergy tested skin care for calming inflamed, irritated skin.
The Obagi rosaclear system is a prescription based treatment regimen than is non comedogenic ,so pore clogging and pimples will be in check if you are switching from another brand of skincare.
There are just 3 steps and it cleans, protects and moisturizes your skin while calming and soothing rosacea symptoms, while also treating acne like pimples.

Plus you can expect results that reduce the redness, blotchiness and a clearer complexion that is calm, clear and balanced as part of the Obagi rosaclear system.

On a special note: the moisturizer in this set does not have spf so I recommend you add your own or get the Obagi brand in spf 30 to compliment the system.
I received a sample set and tried it even though I don’t have rosacea. Here’s what I found:
The cleanser: lovely, light scent, smooth feeling, and washes clean while removing my mascara (though I did not have the usual ton on). My skin felt clean, but not tight.

The hydrating complexion corrector moisturizer did reduce some redness I had in my skin and left my face feeling soft and supple. What I like about this product is that it contains aloe, lavender and mica for calming the skin and protecting it too!

I did not try the Metronidazole Topical gel because it wasn’t in the box…but this is the Rx only treatment for the inflammatory papules and pustules that look like pimples associated with rosacea. I usually try everything, but honestly, even if this was in the box, I don’t have a true case scenario to test and base a result on. After a quick chat with the Obagi representative, the Metronidazole is not included because it’s the prescription part.

You should really stop by http://www.obagi.com/ and become an “inner circle” member, it’s free to sign up and you’ll be first to know about specials and trials.
On the website you can also locate a Obagi physician by simply entering your zip code. There are several close to me, and some are even in Med Spas. So, it’s easy!

I recommend the system because I love Obagi products and basically you can’t go wrong using their line of skincare.
I personally am more of a Nu-Derm client.
Enjoy!
Now…would you like my tester set? I can’t let it just sit on the shelf and rot! The two items have been opened and sampled, though for all intensive purposes are full!
So, please email me with your details if you would like it and answer the question:

Please name 3 other Obagi product lines found on their website : http://www.obagi.com/
First one emailed in with 3 correct Obagi product lines off the website gets my Rosaclear set!

Botox vs. Dysport : The Coke vs. Pepsi of Wrinkle Relaxers
Part 1 in a 2 part series
This article could otherwise be known as: I’m in the market for a “serious thinker lines” eraser. The cosmetic enhancement and aesthetics industry would call this “Glabellar lines” and the Dysport product is inserted intramuscularly for just such a need. For you and me this translates to mean that Dysport is injected with a needle and not rubbed on.

For over ten years Botox has been the only wrinkle relaxer on the market for cosmetic use until now. So ladies and gentleman please put your hands together and welcome to the market the new competition in cosmetic wrinkle relaxing: Dysport.

This FDA approved treatment is for the “11” between your eyebrows that happen when you furrow them, get angry or think a lot and after years of doing it; the lines stay there even when you aren’t mad or thinking of anything in particular.

I say again for those super fast scan an article readers that Dysport is FDA approved and the active ingredient is botulinum toxin Type A. Botox has been manufactured by Allergen and now Ipsen Group is on the United States of America cosmetic beauty enhancement territory with Dysport.

For more science and medical information, please visit the homepage at www.DysportUSA.com or contact: Tercica, Inc a subsidiary of the Ipsen Group in Brisbane CA 94005 or in my home turf contact Medicis Aesthetics Inc a wholly owned subsidiary of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp in Scottsdale AZ 85256.

So let’s get to the juicy facts of my experience. I was the guinea pig a’ la GForce style at the Aspire Medical Center in Las Vegas Nevada. A very talented and world renowned leader in the cosmetic industry Dr. Jason Michaels met me at the challenge.

I have been thinking of stepping up my skin care routine and anti-age maintenance program (to which I currently include “wear sunscreen” as my program) by doing some minor treatments; such as a light peel and maybe some Botox.

Luckily, before I had gone to my appointment for Botox in Scottsdale, I was introduced to Dysport for wrinkle relaxing and referred to the Aspire Medical Center and Dr. Jason Michaels. A key difference and benefit of Dysport over Botox is that it works faster in showing results and has a more natural looking appearance allowing for more “expressions” without lasting wrinkles that were the goal of erasing in the first place.

The Aspire Medical Center (www.aspiremedcenter.com) is located in the newly developing West Las Vegas area. The office was clean, serene and comfortable. It felt more like a living room with friends than a clinical office. The support staff were friendly and professional while listening to my concerns and many, many questions about Dysport and everything else facial enhancement.

Dr. Jason Michaels believes that the secret to effective, beautiful and natural cosmetic enhancement is to “transform a face non-surgically, overtime and not overhaul; that it’s about restoration not alteration”. Dr. Michaels ensures that each and every client both female and male is a new piece of artwork waiting to be discovered and each is treated individually as such.
Thank goodness for that because one size does not fit all in clothing, makeup and certainly not cosmetic procedures!

So that explains the many articles, awards, certificates and beautiful faces that grace the walls of the office.

Dr. Michaels is a board-certified dermatologist specializing in cosmetics, and his level of expertise and training is a rare find in this city. He has extensive experience with the latest technologies and equipment on the market - which means access to the greatest number of effective treatment options for you. As a featured speaker, presenter and writer of “Advanced Injection Techniques,” Dr. Michaels is highly respected in the industry and throughout the West.
Now I may be covered in tattoos though I am really squeamish when it comes to needles. I think it is the calm, gentle, bedside manner of Dr. Michaels and his nurse assistant that when the Dysport was administered to my “thinker” lines or as medically called “Glabellar” lines, I honestly did not, I repeat did not feel the needle. It’s a very thin gauge and then combined with the skilled technique of Dr. Michaels meant that I literally had a pain free injection. Twice! That is one injection for each line.

Immediately following the Dysport injection, there was a wee poke mark where the needle was inserted that went away about 15 minutes later. I noticed a difference within a few hours and trust me, I was checking constantly. Dysport has a 24-48 hours effectiveness time frame: meaning that within a day or two you should see positive results and this is two weeks sooner than what you would see with the other product available on the market. As a side note, the Dysport product has been used in cosmetic treatments across the pond in the United Kingdom for over ten years. This means that Madge, aka Madonna most likely has been using it but isn’t writing about it on the internet.

I have photos to post, both before and after so check back for those. Why the two parts? Because I have to go for a follow appointment for Dr. Jason Michaels to assess the application and see if there is a need for tweaking. Remember, his philosophy is “over time not overhaul; restoration not alteration “! This explains why the effect on my face is subtle and natural with the lines gone and my close friends not quite sure what is different about me, but something noticeable is! Part 2 of this story will be posted within the next two weeks.

Please visit www.aspiremedcenter.com for more information and to book your Dysport appointment with Dr. Jason Michaels. His office is offering a 20% discount off of the treatment to readers of this article.

I personally had a great Dysport treatment, though please do your research through www.DysportUSA.com for any complications or reactions that you may have and as always consult your personal physician.
