South Pacific on the South Shore – South Shore Skin Center Introduces Pure Fiji Organic Line at their Plymouth Spa

South Shore Skin Center, one of the most progressive medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology practices south of Boston, has recently introduced the Pure Fiji organic skin care line at their Plymouth cosmetic dermatology spa.

Known as “the Pacific secret for beautiful skin”, Pure Fiji uses botanical ingredients such as pure coconut oil and flower extracts to nourish, moisturize and beautify the skin. Whether cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing or repairing, Pure Fiji’s line provides organic skin care for all skin types and does not contain ingredients which commonly cause allergies or aggravate sensitive skin.

Pure Fiji spa products offer the best of the traditional blends in today’s natural body care and the product line will be used in South Shore Skin Center’s spa treatments. Not only are the products highly effective, the wonderful fragrance of each product is derived from essential flowers and fruits such as Frangipani, Passion flower, White Gingerlily, mango, coconut, pineapple and star fruit.

According to Jean Adams, RN, BSN, Cosmetic Nurse Specialist at South Shore Skin Center, “We researched quite a few product lines to find the best spa skin care for our patients. Pure Fiji is all natural with high quality ingredients and the fragrances are a real treat for the senses.”

South Shore Skin Center also carries the Jane Iredale line of mineral makeup (known as the skin care makeup) as well as anti-aging skin care lines such as Affirm, Avage, Vivité, SkinCeuticals, Theraplex and SkinMedica.

South Shore Skin Center Offers Anti-Aging Tips for Mother of the Bride

A daughter’s wedding is cause to celebrate. But, many mothers of the bride experience mixed emotions about the event, which can range from excitement over the upcoming nuptials to disbelief at the fact that they are old enough to have a grown daughter. One thing all mothers of the bride have in common is that they want to look their best on their daughter’s wedding day.

Although most mothers know that dressing too dowdy for their daughter’s wedding will only age them, few mothers realize that the condition of their skin can make them look older than their age as well. Dry skin, fine lines and wrinkles may be evident as a result of accumulated sun exposure and the loss of elasticity that comes with aging.

In light of this, South Shore Skin Center’s dermatologists offer skin care tips and anti-aging and cosmetic treatment options to help moms look their personal best on their daughter’s big day:

Protect and Moisturize. Take care of your skin by protecting it from UVA/UVB exposure every day with a sunscreen with an SPF of 15+. Dry skin can increase the appearance of lines, so be sure to moisturize every day. Vitamin C applied topically every day will also nourish and help to improve the skin’s appearance.

Retin-A or Avage used at night can help reverse sun damage and decrease future sun damage.

Illuminize Peel enhances the skin’s appearance, clarity, color and texture.  Made from a new generation of alpha-hydroxy acids, the Illuminize Peel is ideal for skin with photodamage, fine lines and wrinkles or pigmentation irregularities. It tightens skin for a more youthful appearance and minimizes the damaging effects from sun, aging and certain skin conditions.

Microdermabrasion rejuvenates the top layers of the skin to create a brighter, smoother appearance. Treatments may be done every six to eight weeks.

Botox may be used to treat lines around the eyes, frown lines between the eyes, and lines on the forehead that often appear with age. Botox works by relaxing the muscles that contract to form these lines, creating a smoother appearance in the treated areas. The effects last up to five months.

Wrinkle Fillers such as Restylane and Sculptra will last three to 12 months and will help to “plump” areas and reduce the appearance of deep lines and facial folds.

Fraxel re:pair and Fraxel re:store use the technology of a fractionated laser beam to ablate the tissue deep within the dermis to improve your skin’s appearance. Fraxel re:pair is designed to target aging and damaged skin, stimulating the body’s natural production of new collagen and skin cells. It is ideal for resurfacing soft tissues; improving pigmentation; eliminating redness and broken blood vessels and smoothing wrinkles or (“crow’s feet) around the eyes. Fraxel re:store is best for general resurfacing on the face, neck, chest and hands. It effectively treats a number of skin conditions and also reduces the appearance of acne scarring and surgical scars. Fraxel should be done at least three to six months prior to the wedding and it will last several years.

Lasers such as Thermage and IPL will effectively treat acne and acne scarring, brown and age spots and broken blood vessels. These lasers are also used to remove tattoos and eliminate spider veins.

“Taking care of your skin every day is the key to maintaining skin health. There are a number of affordable anti-aging and cosmetic treatments available that will reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and get rid of age spots or other blemishes. We advise mothers to talk to their dermatologist and learn more about their skin care and treatment options well in advance of their daughter’s wedding day,” noted Dr. Richard Eisen, dermatologist and founder of South Shore Skin Center.
