Is Microneedling Good For Your Skin?

Microneedling usually rejuvenates the skin and can be combined with multiple procedures. It is good for collagen production and improves skin texture, reduces signs of aging and diminishes blemishes. Non-invasive treatment is perfect for someone who is looking to tighten, brighten and slow down premature aging. Microneedling is a great way to stimulate blood flow to the skin and can improve skin conditions such as acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, loose aging skin, texture, pore size, pigmentation and even stretch marks.

Anti-Aging Tip

Give Up Smoking!

Tobacco is made up of toxic chemicals that damage cells in the skin causing premature aging and deep wrinkles around the eyebrows, eyes, mouth, nose and lips. People who smoke have extended nasolabial folds (skin creases from the bottom of the nose to the edge of the mouth). Tobacco also causes less elastin and collagen production in people who smoke versus nonsmokers. Narrowing blood vessels decrease the amount of oxygen going to the skin and increases production of free radicals and lower levels of Vitamin A. All these play a factor in premature aging caused by smoking?

So don't do it, and if you are please stop!

Botox For Hot Flashes??

Women going through menopause have many symptoms. One symptom is hot flashes, which are also known as night sweats. They can occur at any moment causing an uncontrolled rise in body temperature. Botox injections have been found to help control or stop these hot flashes from happening. Botulinum toxin, also known as Botox, essentially blocks nerve signals that are responsible for producing sweat, stopping the sweat glands from over producing. This is recommended every four to six months, as the nerves do regenerate.

So you might want to consider this if hot flashes are bothering you.
