MEDICAL SPA SKIN CARE

Smooth, fresh facial skin is the promise of countless beauty products and salon services. However, no product on the market is able to match the results that can be achieved in your plastic surgeon's office.

Today, a variety of options are available for people seeking smooth, healthy-looking facial skin. Some treatments work best for fine lines, blemishes and sun damage; other procedures are better suited for wrinkles, scars and deeper imperfections. Most treatments require little or no "down time" for recovery or healing. NIA 24, produced by Mentor Corporation, is an amazing new skin care product that builds stronger, better skin that is more resilient and more resistant to damage. It incorporates all the conditions above which describe the visible signs of aging.

What types of conditions can be treated?

Men and women of all ages may benefit from NIA 24. Your skin type or characteristics may make you a candidate for a laser or chemical peel. However, a daily skin care regimen is still the basis of maintaining healthy, beautiful skin. Dr. Almonte strongly recommends that you maintain a daily skin care program. In his practice, he has seen the powerful effects of NIA 24 used to treat any of the following conditions:

• Sun-damaged skin
• Hyperpigmentation or uneven pigmentation
• Brown spots or blotches
• Superficial blemishes
• Actinic Keratosis
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Atopic skin susceptible to skin problems

What is NIA 24? Repair is never as good as prevention, particularly in skin care. Tap into skin’s own self-protective powers 24-hours a day with patented NIA 24 – the first inside-out topical Niacin-Powered skin barrier-builder.

Inside, this patented MicroNutrient Delivery system brings a continuous-release form of Niacin to skin. Outside, skin’s barrier is restored and signs of damage dramatically reversed.

Designed like a medical protocol in three courses of action – pre-damage action, pro-active repair, and an antidote to diagnosed problems – this system works together to prevent, repair and fight signs of damage deep in the skin.

How does NIA 24 work?

Pro-Niacin™ is the patented molecule found in each of the NIA 24™ products. With its unique micronutrient delivery system, Pro-Niacin™ penetrates the skin, delivers Niacin to the skin cells and enables healing from within to promote healthier, more beautiful looking skin.

Just as its name suggests, Pro-Niacin™ is based from Niacin, also known as Vitamin B3. Many are familiar with the oral form of Niacin, a water-soluble micronutrient found in a number of commonly eaten foods. As a nutritional supplement, Niacin aids in cholesterol reduction and energy metabolism, but more recently, it has emerged as a key factor in helping the skin protect and repair itself from sun damage and aging.

Increased levels of Niacin affect 4 major biochemical processes. The result of these biochemical processes affected by the Pro-Niacin™ molecule is the generation of healthier skin cells from the inside-out. The skin barrier is strengthened as a result of these improvements in the biochemical processes well below the skin’s surface.

Increased levels of Niacin affect 4 major biochemical processes.

1. Stimulates the repair of DNA.
   DNA is your cell’s genetic code, which determines what the cells will become and do. When your cells suffer damage from the sun or other environmental factors, this DNA can become altered. Pro-Niacin™ helps stimulate the repair of DNA so your skin cells can undo some of the damage caused by the sun, creating healthier skin through a natural repair process.
2. Enhances energy metabolism and skin cell turnover.
   Healthy skin cells need energy. The active form of Niacin, NAD, plays a crucial role in the energy metabolism of cells. Thus, by providing Niacin to the skin, healthy energy metabolism is promoted and skin cells can undergo proper cell turnover.
3. Promotes the release of leptin, a natural repair hormone.
   Unlike its counterpart nicotinamide, nicotinic acid stimulates release of the hormone leptin, a natural repair hormone that promotes healing of skin cells through wound repair and improved immune response as well as helps to reduce hyperpigmentation through melansome transfer inhibition.
4. Stimulates a receptor that decreases hyperpigmentation.
   Nicotinic acid stimulates a signaling cascade that inhibits the transfer of melanin from the melanocytes (cells that produce melanin) to the surrounding keratinocytes (other skin cells) such that hyperpigmentation is reduced.
