Cosmetic Surgery Keep Eyes Sparkling Younger Looking Skin

GET THE BEST RESULT
FROM YOUR COSMETIC SURGERY

Fort Worth, Texas -Each year millions of people turn to cosmetic surgery as a way to look younger. What many don’t know is the crucial role the condition of one’s skin before and after the surgery plays in achieving the best results.
          “Those considering a cosmetic surgery need to realize that the better condition their skin is in before a procedure, the better the end result will be,” said David Pollock, vice president of product development for Medi-Cell Laboratories. “Implementing a therapeutic skin care regimen before the surgery will ensure the skin is in its optimum condition. Maintaining that regimen after the surgery will aid in the healing process and enhance the overall effect.”
            Pollock said that recent breakthroughs in vitamin C skin care formulations have brought about highly effective products designed to repair skin damage caused by sun exposure, the environment and the natural aging process. He says these can be extremely beneficial in pre- and post-surgical procedures because they promote the production of collagen, the fibrous protein that makes skin firm and supple.
          “Increased collagen can strengthen the skin before and after a cosmetic procedure, and non-irritating vitamin C products with high levels of active ingredients can promote the healing process,” Pollock said.
          Vitamin C is a natural healing agent and essential for the production of connective tissue in the skin. In post-surgical situations, a non-irritating, therapeutic vitamin C treatment can speed healing by reducing swelling and bruising, because it is both an anti-oxidant and an anti-inflammatory.
          Pollock recommends two vitamin C products (used in combination for ultimate benefit) for both pre- and post surgery regimens – Hydrox-C Age Lift Facial Concentrate and Hydrox-C Intensive Cell Therapy. Both contain a complex that combines three types of non-irritating vitamin C with a non-irritating alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) in neutral pH formulas that are absorbed at the stratum basale layer of the skin where new cells are generated. According to Pollock, the vitamin C complex rejuvenates and repairs, while the AHA gently rids the skin of wrinkle-producing dead cells.
          Other post-surgery tips offered by Pollock include staying out of the sun and using a vitamin C moisturizer regularly.
          A good skin care regimen before and after a cosmetic surgery procedure can aid healing and enhance a more youthful appearance.
