Discover How DefenAge’s Skin Care Products Can Visibly Improve Signs of Aging Skin.

by Valeriya Kettelhut | May 7, 2020 | Skin Anti Aging

DefenAge is an award-winning and dermatologist recommended skin care brand that’s disrupting the anti-aging skin care market. Their proprietary use of powerful molecules called defensins are the star of DefenAge’s effective formulas.

Defensins wake up dormant cells and prompt them to create brand-new skin cells. Using new, sophisticated technology, age-repairing defensins are a breakthrough in skin rejuvenation that can compete with time-honored retinoids.

What Are Defensins?

Known for their antimicrobial effects, defensins were first associated with the immune system. But in the past several years, scientists have discovered that there are also age-repairing qualities to these natural molecules.

While researching stem cell therapies for Type 1 diabetes and wound healing, the parent company of DefenAge found that two members of the defensin family may activate the dormant resources of our body and cause our body produce new, young skin. Their unexpected and novel discovery has led to a patent-pending use of these regenerative molecules in a formula called Age-Repair Defensins.

DefenAge’s Skin Care Products

Consumers searching for an anti aging cream and other age-repairing products should check out DefenAge’s 8-in-1 BioSerum, a smart serum that’s infused with the highest daily percentage of Age-Repair Defensins. The serum is effective for all skin types and ages.

After applying the 24/7 Barrier Balance Cream moisturizer from DefenAge, apply one pump of the serum over your entire face, and another pump over your neck and décolleté. It may seem counterintuitive to moisturize and then use serum, but there’s a valid reason for this application process. The moisturizing cream contains ingredients that help the age-correcting ingredients in the serum penetrate deeper into your skin’s top layers. Putting the serum on first will limit this penetration and you will be less likely to see the dramatic improvements that have been experienced by the participants in DefenAge’s clinical studies.

Clinical Power Trio

The core regimen created by DefenAge is the Clinical Power Trio, which includes 24/7 Barrier Balance Cream, 8-in-1 BioSerum, and 2-Minute Reveal Masque. When these three products are used together, clinical studies have shown a visual improvement in the appearance of aging skin without irritation, inflammation, or sun sensitivity.

The 24/7 Barrier Balance Cream and 8-in-1 BioSerum use revolutionary skin-brightening technology, with Age-Repair Defensins at the helm, to target age spots and other discolorations at the source. When used with the 2-Minute Reveal Masque twice weekly, residual unevenness in skin and dead surface cells can be removed. Within a week, skin can look visibly brighter and skin discoloration is often less visible.

If you are interested in reprogramming dormant skin cells to generate healthy, new skin with defensins technology, give DefenAge a try.

Supplements That Boost Your Body’s Viral Immunity.

by Valeriya Kettelhut | Mar 5, 2020 | Supplements

How To Ensure Body’s Natural Viral Immunity?

With the recent influenza season that resulted in 10’s of thousands of flu related deaths and now the impending Corona viral epidemic, ensuring your body’s natural viral immune response is of the most importance.

Your body’s first line of defense against a viral infection is your Natural Killer Cells (NK). These cells are programed to seek out and destroy cells that have been infected by a virus. Keeping the NK cell activity robust improves your body’s defense against viral infections.

What Leads to Diminished Body’s Immunity?

Diminished NK cells activity is due to lifestyle choices, such as lack of diet of fruits and vegetable, poor sleep habits, excessive alcohol intake, and lack of exercise. But there is a solution to boost your NK cells.

What Supplements Can Boost Body’s Immunity?

It has been established that certain supplements increase the function of NK cells to eliminate viruses from your body. Tumeric and the vitamins, A, B-12, C, D and E support healthy and active NK cells in our bodies.

High quality and trusted supplements, such as from Orthomolecular Products, Turiva and Mitocore, provide the necessary Turmeric Complete Matrix and vitamins to support healthy and active NK cells to kill and eliminate viruses in our body.

What Are Outcomes of Turiva?

There are 3 primary outcomes that occur when you take a complete turmeric matrix (CTM) orally and allow interaction with the gut:

Helps Detoxify Endotoxins
Creates Microbial Balance
Modulates Immune Signals

How To Take Turiva?

Dosing:

1 cap per day for general inflammatory balance and maintenance.

2 caps per day for 12 weeks for people with Leaky Gut, Autoimmune/Rheumatoid Arthritis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Lyme / Chronic Infections

Coronavirus Disease 2019 Situation Summary

by Valeriya Kettelhut | Mar 5, 2020 | Stress and Immunity

CDC is responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel (new) coronavirus that was first detected in China and which has now been detected in almost 70 locations internationally, including in the United States. The virus has been named “SARS-CoV-2” and the disease it causes has been named “coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”).”

Below is the CDC recommendations for everyone how to minimize the risk of spread of infection if you develop symptoms of COVID-19:

Call ahead before visiting your doctor

If you have a medical appointment, call the healthcare provider and tell them that you have or may have COVID-19. This will help the healthcare provider’s office take steps to keep other people from getting infected or exposed.

Wear a facemask

You should wear a facemask when you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) or pets and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. If you are not able to wear a facemask (for example, because it causes trouble breathing), then people who live with you should not stay in the same room with you, or they should wear a facemask if they enter your room.

Cover your coughs and sneezes

Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw used tissues in a lined trash can; immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains 60 to 95% alcohol, covering all surfaces of your hands and rubbing them together until they feel dry. Soap and water should be used preferentially if hands are visibly dirty.

Clean your hands often

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains 60 to 95% alcohol, covering all surfaces of your hands and rubbing them together until they feel dry. Soap and water should be used preferentially if hands are visibly dirty. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid sharing personal household items

You should not share dishes, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, towels, or bedding with other people or pets in your home. After using these items, they should be washed thoroughly with soap and water.

Clean all “high-touch” surfaces everyday

High touch surfaces include counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, and bedside tables. Also, clean any surfaces that may have blood, stool, or body fluids on them. Use a household cleaning spray or wipe, according to the label instructions. Labels contain instructions for safe and effective use of the cleaning product including precautions you should take when applying the product, such as wearing gloves and making sure you have good ventilation during use of the product.

Monitor your symptoms

Seek prompt medical attention if your illness is worsening (e.g., difficulty breathing). Before seeking care, call your healthcare provider and tell them that you have, or are being evaluated for, COVID-19. Put on a facemask before you enter the facility. These steps will help the healthcare provider’s office to keep other people in the office or waiting room from getting infected or exposed. Ask your healthcare provider to call the local or state health department. Persons who are placed under active monitoring or facilitated self-monitoring should follow instructions provided by their local health department or occupational health professionals, as appropriate.

If you have a medical emergency and need to call 911, notify the dispatch personnel that you have, or are being evaluated for COVID-19. If possible, put on a facemask before emergency medical services arrive.

Discontinuing home isolation

Patients with confirmed COVID-19 should remain under home isolation precautions until the risk of secondary transmission to others is thought to be low. The decision to discontinue home isolation precautions should be made on a case-by-case basis, in consultation with healthcare providers and state and local health departments.

Fine Lines Treatment with Dermaroller: What to Know Before You Roll.

by Valeriya Kettelhut | Dec 5, 2019 | Skin Anti Aging

How it Works

Dermarolling is a form of microneedling, a treatment that creates tiny purposeful holes in the skin using small needles. After holes are created, the body heals these wounds by bringing collagen and elastin to the surface. Increased amounts of collagen and elastin means that skin will look smoother and younger. This technique is great for stretch marks, scar reduction, wrinkles, large pores, dark spots, saggy skin and acne scars.

Microneedling is a procedure typically performed in a medical spa or dermatology office by trained professionals. However, the Dermaroller offers a less expensive option for people to use at home.

How to Use a Dermaroller

1. Prep your skin. Wash your face and hands thoroughly. Also, be sure to exfoliate skin to remove any dead skin. This will create a more effective result.

2. Roll in vertical motions. Press the roller into your skin and roll up and down in a vertical line. Pick up roller, move it to a new patch of skin (next to first line), and roll another vertical line. Do this across the entire surface. It is important to pick up the roller from the face when moving to a new spot. Do not drag it. This will prevent skin tears and scrapes.

3. Roll it horizontally. Start at the top of the cheek and roll again, this time move back and forth in horizontal motions across the surface down to the jawline. Again, pick up the roller and move it, do not drag it.

4. Roll it diagonally. Finish by rolling in diagonal lines from your ear lobe to your chin. Again, pick up the roller when moving to a new spot.

5. Repeat across your face Repeat the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines across your other cheek, your forehead, and your chin until your entire dace has been covered. Switch to a different roller head that has smaller needles to treat the areas around the eyes as skin is more delicate here.

6. Use Dermaroller on body If desired, you can use the dermaroller on stretchmarks and other scars on the body. Roll over desired area with same technique as for face.

7. Apply a serum Applying a serum will help soothe the face and also penetrate into the skin via the tiny holes we just created.

Vitamin C or retinol serum is best for fine lines and pigmentation
Hyaluronic acid serum is best for dryness along with fine lines.
Niacinamide serum is best for acne and oily skin.
Snail mucin or secretions is best for inflammation or discoloration. It can also be used for fine lines.

What needle length is best for my skin type?

Choosing the correct needling length is important to see results. If you have too short of a needle, it will not penetrate deeply enough into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. It is also important to note that needles longer that 1.5 mm should not be used at home.

Skin Concern	Appropriate Needle Length
Fine Lines	0.5mm-1mm
Deep Wrinkles	1.5mm
Shallow Acne Scars	1mm
Deep Acne Scars	1.5mm
Uneven Skin Tone	0.5mm
Skin Discoloration	0.5mm – 1mm
Stretch Marks	1.5mm
Surgical Scars	1.5 mm

How Often Can I Use My Dermaroller?

The frequency on how often you can dermaroller depends on how well your skin tolerates it. We recommend to start slowly and work your way up as your skin gets used to the procedure. Here are some recommended guidelines to get you started-

0.5 mm needles = 1-3 times per week .

1.0 mm needles = every 2 weeks

1.5 mm needles = every 3-4 weeks

Who Shouldn’t Use a Dermaroller?

If you have any or all these conditions, you should avoid using the dermaroller:

-open acne or inflamed skin

-Eczema

-Warts

-Psoriasis

It is also important that you do not reuse the dermaroller. Doing so could introduce bacteria to the skin and result in skin damage or scarring.

When Will I See Results?

Results typically occur dramatically and quickly. You will start to notice smoother, clearer skin within the first 2-3 weeks of treatment. How quickly you see results depends on the condition you are treating, the needle length that is used, and how extensively your body needs to remodel the affected area. Skin renews itself every 40 days, so it is very important that you continue treatment for at least a three-month period. We recommend taking before and after photos to help you document the improvement in your skins condition.

What Is Skin Resurfacing? A Review of The Nano Fractional Radio frequency Treatment.

by Valeriya Kettelhut | Nov 13, 2019 | Skin Anti Aging

Are you distressing over your enlarged pores, post-acne scars, fine lines or wrinkles? Then you may consider nano-fractional radiofrequency (nano-RF) to restore the skin’s broken collagen matrix in the problem areas. Nano-RF is a new standard for innovative, non-surgical treatment for facial rejuvenation and restoration that deals with skin laxity, uneven texture, fine lines, wrinkles, and even stretchmarks. Valeriya Life’s Advanced Aesthetic Center now offers this treatment to men and women of all skin complexion types.

What Is Nano-RF Skin Resurfacing?

Our Center uses the Venus Viva system nano-RF technology. This Venus Versa™ treatment works with tiny pins that safely deliver heat through the skin’s surface. This creates tiny dermal wounds, which the body then heals naturally by intensively producing collagen in order to close those wounds. Unlike micro-needling, nano-RF is considered a more sterile technique as no physical penetration takes place. The heat, which is produced by the metal pins, gently “burns” the skin and creates a clean micro wound. This process repairs signs of skin damage seen on the surface of the skin. And because the wounds are very small, the treatment is much more comfortable than lasers or chemical peels.

What Conditions nano-RF Can Treat?

$Nano fractional radio frequency$

The main indications for nano-RF treatments include:

Enlarged pores
Textual irregularities
Acne scars
Deep lines and folds
Necklace lines
Lax skin
Post-acne pigmentation

Our Center utilizes the best evidence-based treatment protocols to ensure high quality and best results for each aesthetic problem listed above. Depending on the extent of skin damage, our therapists modify the depth and width of the wounds. For example, for deep facial scars, it is important to have a winder and deeper wound. In contrast, for fine lines around the eyes, we use a more superficial regimen, as the skin around the eyes is much thinner than on other parts of face. Nano-RF has a superior depth penetration, when compared with other devices. During the healing time, the skin may look slightly swollen, reddish, and has lots of small dots where the needling had been done. These dots feel a little grainy to touch.

Is Nano-RF Treatment Painful?

Comfort of our patients during a procedure is our priorities. Before the treatment, we apply a numbing cream for 20-30 minutes. This helps to make the procedure almost painless. Treatment times vary depending on the patient, but a single skin session typically takes 15-30 minutes. This makes it easy to fit into a busy schedule. Most patients receive 3-4 treatments per area done 4-6 weeks apart. Treatment plans also vary by patient.

What Is Nano-RF Downtime?

Nano-RF sessions are safe for all skin tones. Unlike lasers or other treatments where recovery can take up to 10 days, Venus Versa™ skin resurfacing treatments have very low downtime—you can resume your normal skin care and makeup routine 24 hours afterward. This is just one of the many reasons Venus Versa™ is quickly becoming the go-to solution for patients who want results without having to hide their face for two weeks while they recover. With each consecutive procedure the post-procedure downtime gets shorter as the skin capacity to heal gradually increases. At Valeriya Life Center, we recommend using the Stem Cell Therapy Serum (SCT). It has a powerful post-treatment anti-inflammatory effect.

Slight swelling of your treated areas occurs immediately. Significant swelling and redness of the treated areas and untreated parts may occur following your procedure and will be maximal at 24 – 48 hours.

There will be redness and slight heat emanating from the treated area for the first 24 hours, akin to a mild sunburn. It is unusual to experience severe or excessive pain; you should notify us if this occurs. Tiny scabs will usually be formed 24 – 72 hours post-treatment, and may remain for several days. Some mild discomfort may occasionally follow resurfacing treatment.

What Are Results of Nano-RF Treatments?

This skin resurfacing treatment helps patients get smoother, healthier skin by reducing signs of skin damage. The improvements include:

Decreased visible pores for even skin texture
Reduced signs of aging for a fresher more youthful look
Evened out textural irregularities for refines looking skin
Reduced acne scars for a clearer and healthier complexion
Diminished deep lines and folds for younger looking skin
Corrected necklace lines
Diminished laxity of the skin for more firm face, neck and décolleté

What Is Post-Nano-RF Procedure Care?

Post-Procedural Care for fractional RF: DAY 1-7
The healing time for any given treatment varies between different clients. The following represents the general recovery phases you might expect.

$Nano fractional radio frequency$

To minimize swelling, keep your head elevated. It is not uncommon for clients to experience under-eye swelling for the first 1 to 2 days, but this swelling will subside.
The scabs should not be touched or scratched even if they itch, and should be allowed to shed off naturally.
Activities: You may return to regular activities immediately. It is advised that you avoid hot baths, saunas, Jacuzzis, and pools for the first two days following treatment, as the bacteria common to these sites can affect the skin post-resurfacing and cause an infection. Some minor heat emanating from the treated area is normal, but please do not apply ice or cooling compresses, as that heat is the body’s natural healing response.
Make-Up: After 24 hours, most resurfacing clients are ready for makeup to hide the pinkness of the skin. If applied, it is important that you remove all makeup from the skin at night. Do not sleep with makeup on the treated area.

Avoiding the Sun: Avoiding direct sun should become a permanent component of your
long-term skin care program. Always use an SPF 30 or greater beginning 24 – 48 hours after the skin has fully healed. Sun exposure, tanning beds, and artificial sunless tanning lotions are not allowed in the treated areas during the course of the treatment and healing.
Long-Term Skin Care: In addition to avoiding direct sun exposure, we suggest all clients use long term skin care that will optimize the youthful, rejuvenated appearance you have achieved.
We offer clients a program for long-term facial skin maintenance This program offers skin maintaining and rejuvenating creams that are only available and administered by our medical team. The physician on our medical advisory team recommends the use of the Venus SkinTM Post Treatment Recovery Kit and Venus SkinTM Stem Cell Therapy Serum and Accelerator for at-home care treatment post 24 – 72 hours. Note that these assisting agents should always be used according to their accompanying instructions.
