Whatever treatments you choose to improve and rejuvenate your skin - you'll want to keep your results by establishing care routines and using products to help maintain not just the aesthetics but the health of your skin. Our products are specifically formulated to address the damaging effects of sun and pollution, but also to help speed healing after a procedure...
The Forever Young Kit provides solutions for all skin problems from acne to dry skin, but the most important part of the “formula” is the patient’s understanding of why special care is needed – in this case we are focusing on the neck and upper chest, hands and forearms. Daily application of sunscreen is critical to all these areas – but here’s why skin is vulnerable in different ways:
Neck – because the muscle (Platysma) is not connected to a bone structure, skin is prone to lose its elasticity. There is also very little fatty tissue and fewer sebaceous glands than on the face. The lack of sebaceous glands makes this area very prone to dryness and wrinkle formation.
Upper chest - the skin on the décolleté also has very little fatty tissue and in addition to dryness, premature wrinkling – this area is often exposed to sun and pigmentation spots appear. Worse still, if you suffered any bad sun burns on this area – even in the distant past – as you age the damage “rises” to the surface in the form of lines going across.
Hands - Your hands undergo a lot of wear and tear – and yet they have a delicate, minimal fatty tissue structure. Take care!
Forearms - plenty of fatty tissue but still delicate and prone to moisture loss - often exposed to sun damage – neglect or minimal care results in damage.
Final word - treat these areas with the same care as your face – because in many respects they are more vulnerable and have fewer ways of replenishing due to their structure.
