Skinceuticals CE Ferulic Made Top 10 List!

Overview of Skinceuticals CE Ferulic

Research and innovation are at the core of the SkinCeuticals company mission, and their dedication to science has established the brand as a leader in the advanced skincare arena.  At the office of Dr. Mark Bishara and The Paragon Med Spa- we offer an extensive line of the Skinceuticals skincare line.  Here is one that just made a top 10 list for great skin care.
Skinceuticals CE Ferulic is a revolutionary antioxidant combination that delivers advanced protection against photoaging by neutralizing free radicals, boosting collagen synthesis, and providing unmatched antioxidant protection. More protection means more youthful looking skin and better defense against environmental aging.
How it works:
C E Ferulic contains ferulic acid, a new antioxidant that doubles the synergistic benefits of C E – neutralizing free radicals,building collagen, and providing improved antioxidant protection. No other antioxidant technology has been shown to deliver comparable levels of photoprotection.
-Provides advanced environmental protection against UVA, UVB and infrared radiation A.
-Stimulates collagen synthesis to improve signs of aging.
-Increases firmness and replenishes lipids to reduce wrinkles.
-Once absorbed, this serum can’t be washed or rubbed off. It remains effective for a minimum of 72 hours, making it an excellent addition to sunscreen.
Spotlight Ingredients:
L-ascorbic acid: Neutralizes free radicals and promotes collagen synthesis.
Alpha tocopherol (vitamin E): Potent antioxidant which promotes the healing process.
Ferulic acid: This plant-based antioxidant neutralizes free radicals, inhibits UV-induced melanogenesis, and has anti-inflammatory properties.
Pros:

  • Highly effective anti-wrinkle serum
  • Concentrated formula provides quick results

Other Notes:
A huge benefit from using CE Ferulic is its photoprotection benefits. Photoprotection is a measure of a product’s ability to neutralize free radicals and protect against oxidative stress. SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic reduces sunburn cell formation up to 96% in UV irradiated skin. Though the smell of the serum is a bit off-setting, the effectiveness of CE Ferulic is apparent after the first time I used it. Its skin firming abilities are incredible, earning it a #3 spot on the top 10 list.

What Do Antioxidants Have To Do With My Skincare?

What are Free Radicals?
Antioxidants are the only defense you have against free radical damage. What are free radicals? A free radical is a molecule in your body which is missing one electron. In an attempt to regain that lost electron, the molecule steals electrons from other molecules, which causes a ton of problems. These free radicals are so highly reactive and unstable, that they cause immense damage to the cells they come in contact with. Sometimes the damage is so severe, that it can even harm your DNA!
You may be asking yourself: what does this have to do with skincare? Well, everything! The harm caused from free radicals doesn’t just affect you on the inside, it affects your skin as well. If your skin has been in particularly bad shape lately, or you’re noticing wrinkles have been forming easier, you may be exposing yourself to too many free radicals. If that is the case, you should examine your surroundings to determine the sources of the radicals.
Smoking, UV ray exposure, and poor diet are very common free radical producers. As you age, and the ability to produce collagen decreases, free radicals penetrate much further, causing much more damage. They will also speed the decline of collagen in the body, allowing wrinkles, dark-spots, and sagging skin to form much quicker.
Antioxidants & Anti-Aging
Luckily for us, there is a way to prevent free radicals from causing damage in the body. Antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, Omega-3, and many others have proven to minimize free radical damage by donating a spare electron of theirs to end the harmful electron-seeking chain reaction. Taken orally or absorbed topically, antioxidants are the answer to becoming healthier overall, both inside and out.
With your body becoming healthier, your skin will reflect the newfound protection. In the anti-aging skincare world, antioxidants are no secret. The positive benefits antioxidants produce for the skin have been utilized for generations, however they are now harvested synthetically as well as naturally and are incorporated in many skincare & supplement products.
Look for anti-aging products that feature antioxidants, such as Vitamin E and hyaluronic acid, as well as a range of hydrating & firming agents. Please call our office at (817) 473-2120, to find out how we can help you to maintain a healthy face for years to come.

Now is the Time to Start Laser Procedures at the office of Dr. Mark Bishara

Fall and winter months are a great time for laser procedures


The popularity of laser skin resurfacing is on the rise, and doctors say that winter is a great time to undergo these procedures.
It’s very important to avoid the sun as much as possible and it’s a lot easier to do that in the winter time than it is in the middle of the summer.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the number of laser skin resurfacing procedures performed by its members increased by nearly 10 percent between 2009 and 2010.
The procedure uses light to repair wrinkles, sun damage and scarring.
Doing this type of fractional resurfacing improves skin texture, skin color, pore size, acne scarring, any kind of scarring issues that we may have.
At the office of Dr. Mark Bishara and The Paragon Med Spa we can discuss what type of skin resurfacing is best for you.  It’s important to note that results often take as long as several months to completely appear. However, the procedures do provide long-lasting results.
At our office we offer laser procedures and many other treatments that offer skin rejuvination:

  • For those who want the best possible results before the holidays, purchase our Ultimate Laser 360 treatment; a combination of Fotofacial, skin tightening and laser resurfacing.
  • For the time honored effective treatment for sun spots and discolorations, with the added benefit of eliminating broken capillaries, try our IPL Fotofacials

  • As our tans are fading, fall is the perfect time to get started with Laser Hair Removal treatments.
  • There is also our VI Peel.  VI Peel is a facial peel for ALL complexions.  It helps improve the appearance of acne, unwanted pigmentation and melasma.  It is the only peel of its kind to contain synergistic blend of TCA, Retin-A, Salicylic Acid, Phenol, and Vitamin C.  It gives great results in as little as one treatment.

Get Rid of Sun Spots This Fall & Winter at the office of Dr. Mark Bishara

Are sun spots on your skin becoming unwelcome reminders of aging? Today there are treatments available that can help you get rid of them.

Sun spots usually start appearing after the age of 30 and are common in people with light skin. They start spreading more once you cross 50. Long hours or days spent in the sun during your early years are one of the most likely causes of sun spots.
While sunspots are medically harmless, many people seek to hide sun spots for cosmetic reasons.
Sun spots can occur both in males and females, but women are more likely to opt for a treatment to get rid of them. Today, a wide variety of remedies, including peels and laser therapy, are available to treat sun spots.
Laser treatments are one of the most effective. After the treatment it’s necessary to avoid the sun by wearing protective clothing and using sunscreens in order to prevent these spots from reappearing.
