Houston, TX (PRWEB) April 14, 2014
Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Henry Mentz, of the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery, has recently teamed up with SkinMedica for the GRASS Campaign in an effort educate his patients on the five pillars of anti-aging skincare products.
There are a lot of confusing skincare buzzwords, such as retinols, anti-oxidants, peptides, etc. Therefore, SkinMedica has created an acronym to help patients make sense of all the anti-aging products on the market: GRASS.
Growth factors: Human growth factors are the bodys system for wound healing and repair. As people approach their 30s, growth factor production slows. This is why adult wounds heal more slowly than childrens, and why adults start to show aging. By applying growth factors in the form of a topical skin product, they are absorbed into the skin where they can heal skin damage and reverse aging.
Retinols: With age, skin cell turnover slows down and the skin holds on to the dull, dead skin cells. Retinoids prompt the skin to flake off old skin cells quickly, revealing a new layer of skin. This continuous cycle of turning over cells helps the skin maintain a youthful glow.
Antioxidants: The main causes of skin damage are environmental stressors like the suns harmful UVA rays, pollution and other free radicals. Antioxidants protect the skin from this oxidative stress. Antioxidants can also be found in foods we eat, but using a topical product is the most direct way to reach the skin.
Sunscreen: In addition to skin cancer risks, sun damage is responsible for wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Sunscreens that contain zinc oxide are the only products that block UVA rays, which represent 95 percent of the suns rays and are known to cause the most damage.
Specialty products: Many patients experience other skin issues such as rosacea, hyperpigmentation or melasma that can occur with age or hormonal changes. To treat these conditions, the last element of the GRASS philosophy is specialty products.
Dr. Mentz and the staff of the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery have chosen SkinMedica as their primary skin care line for patients.
SkinMedica is a pharmaceutical grade skin care line with proven results, said Dr. Mentz. They understand the science behind skin and create innovative products that work for our patients.
