Skin Care
As time passes, your skin begins to lose some of its remarkable elastic properties, and signs of stretching begin to appear. Oil gland production decreases. Gravity is not kind, and it exaggerates loose folds of skin, especially in the face and neck, in the brow and forehead, around the eyelids, and in the abdomen. Only surgical correction by a specially trained plastic surgeon can restore a more youthful look when loose folds occur.

The earliest signs of aging skin are usually those thin, shallow lines or wrinkles in the face, particularly around the eyes. It's here that the Theraderm Skin Care System can begin to restore the youthful look of soft, healthy, radiant skin.

Factors other than time determine skin's appearance. Obviously, genetic factors contribute to the skin's susceptibility to the harmful effects of ultraviolet light. Light-skinned people with blue eyes have fewer melanin-producing cells. Consequently, they tend to sunburn more easily and are very susceptible to the sun's damaging rays. Darker-skinned people can tan more readily, but their temptation to more frequent and prolonged exposure to the sun often leads to severe skin damage as time goes by.
