| Advanced Topical Antioxidants |

Skin care has become an integral part of
total patient care. Dr. Andy has well-qualified medical aestheticians
available at his practice for education in skincare and follow-up
services. Besides using medical skincare programs developed
by him, he has also added Advanced Topical Antioxidants to
these programs.
The reasons are as follows:
The critical role of ultraviolet ray radiation has long been
known in photo aging of the skin and development of skin cancer.
Among these, UVA can travel through the sky, the clouds, through
glass, and penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. Oxygen-free
radicals, being formed after stimulation by UVA, can mutate
the cells, and therefore destroying collagen, elastin, proteoglycans,
and all the cells that give the skin its' firm and plump textures,
as well as elasticity.
Vitamin C,E are strong antioxidants. It is a major natural
aqueous-phase protectant that fights against reactive oxygen,
which causes most damage to the skin. If the skin is deprived
of antioxidants, photoaging will accelerate due to the ongoing
destruction of the dermal and epidermal connective tissues.
photo aging is then manifested as wrinkles, freckles and dark
blotches, causing a leathery texture, and a loss of elasticity
of the skin. Oral intake of Vitamin-C does not help the skin,
as only less than 3% of the vitamin actually reaches the skin
after the liver metabolizes it Dr.Andy's formulas. penetrate
through the skin to provide adequate antioxidant protection
and providing resistance to washing and rubbing off.
It has been proven that the vitamins have a positive effect
on healing inflammations that is often associated with sunburn.
Beyond its photo protective nature, L-ascorbic acid have proven
useful in the production of collagen synthesis. Studies have
also demonstrated its usefulness in the reduction of inflammations
caused by wounds. When used postoperatively, it decreases
erythema in post-laser and complicated cases (See pictures).
Vitamins are valuable antioxidant and a protectant against
photodamage that is created by sunlight. Oral supplementation
may also be useful, however, topical preparations are able
to deliver a higher, concentrated dosage to needed areas.
