Meet Linda, age 72, one of our transformation models. A funny thing happens as we get older... one day, we suddenly find that we've turned into little old ladies! Linda's goal was to freshen up and feel like her previous self from a few years ago. When we look at Linda's Before pictures, we can [...]
Picture this: You have a big event coming up within a month and you want to look as fresh and rejuvenated and natural as possible. What should you do? The first thing I take into consideration is where you're at now. Do you have a lot of sun damage? If you have a lot of [...]
It is a widely accepted tenet of aesthetic medicine that, in order to stimulate new collagen formation in the skin, we have to injure the skin. The injury turns on healing mechanisms, including stimulating the cells that make scar tissue to make collagen. For many years, the focus was on using whatever modality (laser, radiofrequency, [...]
Exosomes are going to change everything. In fact, I think exosomes could rewrite human life expectancy within my lifetime! I am pleased to announce that we now have exosomes here at Advanced Rejuvenation! What are exosomes? Exosomes are little packets containing growth factors, cytokines and other peptides, lipids, and pieces of RNA. These packets are [...]

SkinMedica was originally making dressings for burns using cultured human cells. In science, [...]
I always wanted a nice even brown tan and devoted a lot of energy to achieving that goal from my early teens until my late 30s. Unfortunately, my skin doesn't tan very well. By the time I was 40, I had lots of freckles and brown sun spots, lots of redness and a rough texture to [...]
It seems like every new product I see claims to protect against blue light. I decided to investigate, to determine how much of a threat blue light truly is, and whether we should all be using blue light glasses and covering ourselves in blue light protection. Science of sun's emissions We're all used to the [...]
This month I had a terrible moment: my husband was driving me to work and I happened to open the visor mirror. OMG! The slanting early morning light and the position of my arm combined to reveal every little crepey wrinkle on my decolletage! Picture taken on that fateful morning, gives you an idea of [...]
I used to think that I would need a lid lift or blepharoplasty. As I approached my 40s, I could see my lids getting heavier. It was a family trait: I was heading down the same path as my mother and my older sister. As we age, our skin levels of collagen and elastin decline, making [...]
