  Happy Thanksgiving!
Skin Care:
Hormonal Aging
 
One of the most common complaints we hear in skin care is "I have never had problems with breakouts and now that I am older I am experiencing breakouts/pimples, oil, and enlarged pores.  Why?"  The most common answer is "hormones".  
There is such a thing as Hormonal Aging.  Women who never had breakouts in their lives may find they now get pimples in their 40's, 50's and 60's.  The reason is as they age they have less estrogen to suppress the sebum (oil) - stimulating androgen (hormone) circulating thru their bodies.  For the same reason, they may experience more facial hair and also perspire more.  
 
Your skin type may change with different life situations such as pregnancy, menopause or a move to a more dry or humid climate.  So you may need to make changes in the way you care for it.  
 
Let the Aestheticians at Accent on Skin give your skin the attention it deserves with its ever changing needs. 
 
Warm up this November with a Cocoa enzyme peel for dull, clogged and congested skin or a Raspberry enzyme peel for the severely pigmented.  Soothing steam and warm towels help to activate the enzyme as you relax and enjoy your treatment, perfect for these cold damp days.

Ask a Doc:
What are fillers?

Q: What does Radiesse do to make you look younger? 
 
A: Dermal fillers have become increasingly popular among patients because they are minimally invasive, require little down time and are highly effective at mitigating the signs of facial aging. 
 
One such filler is Radiesse which received FDA approval for cosmetic applications in 2006, namely treatment of the nasalabial folds.  It is a good volumizing agent and also works well in augmenting the cheeks and smoothing the jawline.  Radiesse is thought to maintain a good correction for one year or more and some studies also indicate that the product stimulates collagen production by the body.  Therefore, the effects of the treatment may have some permanency.
 
If you are interested in seeing if Radiesse is right for you, give us a call for a consultation and check out our special listed at the end of this e-mail!
