 Q: I have heard some skin care products contain human skin cells. Is this true and do they work?
A: Yes. Some skin care products contain human skin cells as an active ingredient such as BIO-GEL bio-restorative Hydrogel with PSP by NEOCUTIS. The technique used by NEOCUTIS uses cultured human fibroplasts, which are tapped for their rich restorative nutrients.
This process was originally developed to heal wounds and burns without scarring, this hydrogel can bring results in healing wrinkled, sun-damaged skin. NEOCUTIS BIO-GEL also contains hyaluronan, also known as hyaluronic acid, a major component of the war against aging.

SCLEROTHERAPY:
TREAT UNSIGHTLY VEINS IN MINUTES
| Spider veins are tiny purple and red blood vessels found most commonly on the thighs or lower legs. They are considered hereditary and can form anywhere on the leg, from the top of the thigh to the ankle. Occasionally, spider veins appear on the face. Varicose veins are larger. They can appear raised with a bluish color and can become quite painful. Although spider veins and varicose veins carry blood, they are not part of the venous valve system. Your spider veins can be reduced significantly through sclerotherapy.
Sclerotherapy was developed in the 1920's. During the procedure, a sclerosing solution is injected into the vein through a micro-needle. The sclerosing solution causes the vein to blanch (turn white), then gradually disappear.
In most cases, about 50-70% of the treated vessels will be gone for good. However, new veins may appear and additional treatments are generally required for optimum results. |

ECZEMA/ATOPIC DERMATITIS
 The terms "eczema" or "dermatitis" are used to describe certain kinds of inflamed skin conditions including allergic contact dermatitis and nummular dermatitis. Eczema can be red, blistering, oozing, scaly, brownish, or thickened and usually itches. Atopic means there is a tendency for excess inflammation of the skin and linings of the nose and lungs. This often runs in families with allergies such as hay fever and asthma, sensitive skin, or a history of atopic dermatitis. Although most people with atopic dermatitis have family members with similar symptoms, 20% of cases are not hereditary conditions. Atopic dermatitis is very common in all parts of the world. It affects about 10% of infants and 3% of the total population in the United States. It can occur at any age, but is most common in infants and young adults. This skin rash can be widespread, or limited to a few areas. Atopic Dermatitis/Eczema frequently improves with adolescence, but many patients are affected throughout life. Generally occurring on the hands and feet, patches can appear anywhere, including the bends of the elbows, backs of knees, ankles, wrists, face, neck, and upper chest. Since the disease does not always follow the same pattern, proper, early, and regular treatment can bring relief and may reduce its severity and duration.
