The Largest Organ in Your Body- Your Skin!

Your skin is more then just your face, although that’s what most people pay the most attention to. Your skin is actually the largest organ in your body and weighs probably more the you think. The skin of an average adult weighs 8-10 pounds and averages an area of 22 square feet.
What’s the secret to great skin? Not surprisingly, the state of our skin is affected by genes, nutrition, general health, emotional well-being and exercise. How you care for your skin play an important role in ensuring you look your best,
You’ve probably heard that skin is made up of skin cells. But you didn’t know that you have approximately 19 million skin cells on every square inch of skin!
Eat your veggies! Eating a wide range of vegetables– particularly those high in vitamins C and E (such as spinach, carrots, red bell peppers and tomatoes)- will ensure that your diet is rich in anti-oxidants, compounds that are believed to play an important roles in maintaining the health of both your body and your skin.
We’re all thin-skinned, in certain areas. The thickness of our skin varies considerably, depending on its location and the role it plays: Its thinnest on our eyelids and thickest on the palms of our hand and soles of feet.
Not sure of your skin type? Try this simple test. About 15 minutes after washing your face and patting it dry, press lens-cleaning paper on different part of you face. In those areas where you produce a lot of oil, the paper will stick or pick up oil. If it doesn’t anywhere, you have dry skin. If it only sticks on your forehead, nose and chin, you have normal or combination skin. If it sticks everywhere, you have oily skin.

Getting Rid of Forehead Lines at Jardin Medical Spa in Philadelphia

Does everyone think you're angry?
Dealing with lines that are small and fine is much easier than trying to erase deep grooves. If you see any appearance of a line on your forehead, take care of it now.
The development of fine lines on the forehead is an indication that the underlying structure of your skin cells is damaged. You may notice other indications of this damage if you also have fine lines around your eyes, dry skin and dull complexion. Why does this happen? Your cells are tired. Years of fighting off free radicals created by too much sun, exposure to environmental toxins, and less then healthy eating habits has left them unable to produce normal levels of the structural proteins, collagen and elastin. Without these two proteins your skin begins to become lined, wrinkled, dry and uneven-toned.
One of the most powerful steps you can take is to protect your cells from accumulating any further damage. Simply avoid UV sunlight as much as possible, flush toxins from your body with lots of water and boost your antioxidant activity by eating plenty of brightly-colored fruit and vegetables. Invest in a medical grade sun block and wear it every single day (yes, even when it rains). If you would like to prevent the lines that you have from getting deeper, we suggest you start getting Botox and possibly Fraxel. Botox will prevent the lines from getting deeper and Fraxel laser resurfacing will erase them. The combination is non-invasive with little to no downtime.

We are having a Botox Party on Wednesday February 3rd from 3-8pm. Botox will be discounted! Get rid of your forehead lines! Call to rsvp 484-562-0591

Understanding Laser Hair Removal at Jardin Medical Spa in Philadelphia

How does it work?
Depending on the area being treated, the treatment can take several minutes to an hour. The most commonly used laser uses lasers with a low energy beam and produces one single color light. The beam passes through the patients' skin and gets attracted to the pigment of the hair. The energy from the laser passes down the hair shaft and is absorbed by hair follicles that are in active growth phase. This then results to inflammation and delivers a signal to the follicle indicating that it should move into telegen or resting phase. Not all hair follicles are in the growth phase, so that is why patients need multiple sessions. Results can be visible after one treatment; most patients need about 8 sessions. Maintenance treatments are needed in order for the hair not to grow back. So the efficiency of the laser hair removal depends on the patient and how committed they are to keeping up with it. Keep in mind, maintenance treatments generally have intervals of a year or more, so it is not much of a hassle.
