My mom wants to get a facelift to try and help hide her signs of aging. My father has the type of face that doesn't age easily. My mother feels very insecure when they're together as she's conscious of people thinking that she's older than him.

Questions are: What is the best way of trying to hide aging through plastic surgery? What are some disadvantages and drawbacks? My mom's concerned about no longer being able to make facial expressions once she goes under the knife.

Dear Bartol:

Thanks for posting your questions - Actually, Skin Biology products are specifically designed for those who are wishing to "age gracefully" (meaning that they are content with their age and want to retain natural facial expressions that reflect the qualities that make them who they are). Yet, they are looking for effective ways to slow down the visible effects of aging and keep the lovely, firmer appearance and glow of healthy, young skin.

If your mother and father fall into that category (or yourself!), we would strongly recommend that they research what advanced skin rejuvenating copper peptides can do for their skin.

• Especially for your father: Please direct him to our page on Male Skin Health: Tips & Recommendations (at www.reverseskinaging.com/article_maleskin.html) - This page outlines how men can take care of their skin using a simple, easy-to-follow skin regimen. Think of it as an investment in his skin's present and future health.

• For your mother: Please direct her to our page on How to Rejuvenate Aging Skin: What Really Works (at www.reverseskinaging.com/agingskin.html) - This page lists the most effective topicals to start to improve her skin's health, whether she decides to have a procedure performed or not.

For example, why not suggest (while they are researching procedure options) that both they take 2-3 months to use the following regimen?

AM - Light amount of Protect & Restore with High Retinol, first thing in the morning on freshly cleansed skin
PM - Light amount of LacSal Cream (10% hydroxy acid), applied every evening


Then they will be able see for themselves what improvements can first be achieved topically using advanced products designed specifically to address their concerns.

Actually, their very worried that they might end up looking like the celebrities here who had plastic surgery procedures. Also, is it guaranteed that they can still make facial expressions?

Dear Bartol:

Sorry, it would be best to ask a cosmetic surgeon. We would suggest that they thoroughly investigate all of their options and perhaps speak, not only with various cosmetic surgeons, but also with people who have actually had the procedure for their comments.

There may be minimally invasive procedures/options that might give a more "natural" result. But I'm sorry, we don't know.

Skin Biology only specializes in anti-aging topical products.

This is our general advice.
GENERAL SKIN CARE

Our product ordering website is at www.reverseskinaging.com.

Our new 3% GHK-copper cream GHK VIP Luxury Cream is getting rave reviews from our clients. Our 1% GHK-copper cream also is very popular. These products use the natural human factor that is in your blood. They are more expensive because of the high cost of the GHK-copper.

These are general starting instructions for rebuilding the appearance of your skin. But everyone's skin is different, so it may take some experimenting to find what works best for yourself. Also, start the products lightly. The biggest mistake is overusing the products when starting.

The process of improving skin with our method is slow, but not irritating. Reducing the appearance of wrinkles and skin lesions is much slower. But even very strong Retin-A takes about 2 years to reduce major wrinkles at the price of chronic redness and irritation.

Also, most people have buried skin damage under relatively good-looking skin. This will slowly emerge and your skin many look worse for a time. Look at http://www.reverseskinaging.co...ied-skin-damage.html

Look at http://www.reverseskinaging.com/pictures.html and http://reverseskinaging.com/nasolabial.html and read the comments.

Usually other blemishes such as moles, skin tags, sun damage spots, etc become less visible with time.

For your face.....

Copper peptides supply nutritional copper to the skin. Without adequate copper, the skin cannot repair skin damage. Numerous studies from the USDA Nutrition Laboratories indicate that most of the persons ingest too little copper.

Our serums work best on oily skin areas like the T-Zone and the creams are best for drier skin areas. The fastest actions are on general skin tone and "glow".

The best results for to improve the appearance of wrinkles, pores, and loose skin that that we hear from our clients are:

1. Use a very mild cleanser such our Dr. Loren Pickart's Cleanser. Do not over cleanse your skin. Use skin-helping biological oils such as Celes Oil, Squalane or Emu Oil for Skin with Anti-Oxidants to remove make up.

2. Our Serums are best on sensitive skin or oily outbreak-prone skin. Our creams work best of dryer skin areas. Balance Zone Oil Control helps reduce excess facial sebum.

3.In the morning, use 1% GHK-copper cream or CP Serum or in the morning followed by a protective biological skin compatible oil. Celes Oil is our best, Squalane and Emu Oil for Skin with Anti-Oxidants are also very good.

Start with 2 drops of each daily for your face and increase the amount slowly. If your skin feels oily, blot off the excess oil with a tissue. Later you might change to Super CP Serum.

4. For your eyes, use CP Ultimate Eye Cream. This is a difficult area but it can be greatly improved.

5. At night, you might alternate Exfol Cream or our LacSal Cream and Protect & Restore #3 - a high retinol cream. If you have problems with breakouts, then use Retinol-free P&R#2.

6. For very strong copper peptides, many clients also use Super Cop or Super Cop 2X (our strongest product) lightly at night, but you should use the other products before you move to these strong products.

7. The Day Cover can be used for protection when outside.

8. For your your Decolletage see Perfect Lift. This cream was original created for mothers who nursing their babies and is very gentle.

9. We have other products for skin which may be found under "Products" at the left side of http://reverseskinaging.com.

10. Copper peptides and retinoic acid applied together often work very well.

11. You may also benefit from our newer Skin Signals products which uses copper bound to peptides from elastin and collagen. See the Skin Signals Solution - and Skin Signals Cream.

12. Our new 3% GHK-copper cream GHK VIP Luxury Cream is getting rave reviews from our clients. Our 1% GHK-copper cream also is very popular. These products use the natural human factor that is in your blood. They are more expensive because of the high cost of the GHK-copper.

13. Daily supplements of 1 gram Vitamin C and 1 gram MSM also help rebuild skin proteins. 5 grams (a teaspoon) of Flaxseed Oil, which contains high levels of gamma linolenic acid, helps some people with dryness and irritation.

14. Stress inhibits skin renewal and skin repair by increasing blood cortisol. Taking 5 to 25 mgs daily of DHEA for a few months may help block the cortisol effect and stimulate skin repair, but ask your physician about this.

15. Regular aerobic exercise floods more blood into the skin and speeds skin repair and scar reduction. Vigorous exercise also lengthens your telomeres which in turn helps your skin health.

16. Microdermabrasion cloths (cost about $10) often help remove older skin.

17. Skin needle rollers also can help skin remodeling. But do not use them more than every 1 or 2 weeks. Be certain to effectively wash the rollers after use and sterilize it before further use.

18. For very resistant skin areas, an esthetician can use deep peels with strong acids and/or needling to break up hard skin tissue and scar tissue. This can get thing going in the right direction.
