Telomerase Enzyme Technology: The New Standard

April 17, 2016 By patkaspian

Most people don’t speak skincare.  When researching options, ingredients become a blur of words we can’t pronounce and percentages that never seem to break .1%.  However, it is absolutely essential that we do understand what we are putting on our skin and why.

Jan Marini Skin Research combines the latest and greatest technology with tried and true methods to create products that actually work.  One of their most notable forays into cellular technology led to the creation of a cutting-edge new product: Age Intervention Regeneration Booster. For those too sensitive to retinol, this serum offers the ideal solution for skin regeneration and rejuvenation.

Age Intervention Regeneration Booster is innovative in its use of advanced telomerase enzyme technology, a discovery which earned three scientists the 2009 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.  This technology is meant to protect chromosomes from degradation, allowing for longer-lasting DNA cells.  The Nobel Laureates showed that this solution can be found at the ends of chromosomes in their telomeres – long, thread-like DNA molecules that carry our genes – and in telomerase, an enzyme that forms these molecules.  If the telomeres are shortened, cells age.  Conversely, if telomere activity is high, telomere length is maintained and premature cellular aging is delayed.  By helping to stabilize the telomere, the technology present in this product slows down the process of skin aging.

Age Intervention Regeneration Booster combines telomerase enzyme with anti-inflammatory agents, peptides, and other skin-enhancing ingredients, enabling the skin to appear dramatically younger and aiding in the improvement of fine lines and wrinkles, firmness, discoloration, elasticity, texture, and overall skin health.

Visible Beauty in Time for the Holidays. It’s Possible.

October 30, 2010 By patkaspian

Now that fall is here, this is the ideal time to revitalize your skin from damage incurred during the harsh summer months. Sun damage causes 99.5% of aging due to UV rays and harmful chemicals that put your skin through wear and tear. Luckily, it doesn’t have to take long to reverse these damages and see visible results in areas you’d like to see it most – just in time for your holiday parties!

GLYCOLIC PEELS are the most effective treatment for sun-damaged skin because they deeply exfoliate to create resurfaced, radiant skin and strip photo damage caused by the sun. Glycolic acid is derived from sugar cane, which loosens the cellular debris layer and exfoliates your skin. It not only allows your products to absorb into your skin more efficiently, but also eliminates abnormal cells that can eventually lead to skin cancers. It’s a great way to bring your skin back to life from those dry, summer months!

Need A French Touch? We offer the Jan Marini Glycolic Acid Peel series. This series includes six peels over three weeks. Why is this treatment perfect for the holidays? This treatment creates softer, more refined skin without any downtime, redness, or flaking. No need to miss a good holiday party!

COLLAGEN HYALURONIC FACIALS are the perfect way to add life to your skin during the winter season. You’ve all heard about hyaluronic acid, but what is it exactly? It is one of the natural fillers of the skin, whose essential role is to retain water in the dermis (the water reservoir of the skin). Because of its low molecular weight (derived from wheat), it can increase hydration and skin firmness through a natural approach. When incorporated in a facial, the effects are immediate.

I had one client call it the Class Reunion Facial. – Patricia

Need A French Touch? We offer the Sothys’ Collagéne Hyaluronique Facial. Why is this treatment perfect for the holidays? Sothys’ new Anti-Aging line contains hyaluronic acid, a powerful peptide blend, and natural antioxidants for revitalized, healthy, protected skin. You will see instantaneous, long-lasting results.

AS A PART OF YOUR FACIAL ROUTINE, you can incorporate a glycolic acid product (to maintain exfoliation and radiance), a day and night moisturizer, and a weekly scrub. We know it’s easy to skimp on your facial routine, but it’s important to maintain day and night care to see long-lasting results.

Need some assistance? Come into the salon for a skin analysis and tips to see visible beauty in time for the holidays!
