Natural Beauty for Winter Skin: Eminence Organic Arctic Berry Peel System

Natural Beauty for Winter Skin: Eminence Organic Arctic Berry Peel System
by Leanne Rangel, MA, Aesthetician
What are the things you think about when it comes to your skin? Would you change anything if you could? What if you could target aging, hyperpigmentation, as well as sensitive-, rosacea- and acne- prone skin in just 3 steps?  Do you feel you keep applying different products and see no results? Do you want to awaken your skin to go with your smile?  If you answered “YES” to any of these, you need this easy system!
We need to exfoliate our skin in a healthy and safer way, especially as winter starts to settle in and our skin becomes dryer.  The Eminence Arctic Berry Peel and Peptide Illuminating System is a great solution. By combining a professional treatment with an at-home kit used once a week, you keep your skin radiant with proven results; and, it’s 100% organic!
The first step in the Peel and Peptide System is the Arctic Berry Enzyme Exfoliant. The enzymes break down and remove dead skin cells on the skin’s surface while refining the skins texture to promote healthy skin renewal and smoother skin tone. Skin appears more luminous and even! Harnessing the power of organic arctic berries, lingonberry seed oil and hibiscus seed extract, the skin is also protected with antioxidants and calmed by anti -inflammatory properties.
Forget the pain, irritation and redness that can sometimes accompany a peel! The second step is the Arctic Berry Peel Activator. It gently removes layers of skin to reduce hyperpigmentation and inflammation, fine lines and wrinkles, and is suitable for even SENSITIVE skin types! It will lighten the appearance of skin while improving the skin’s elasticity and tone for younger-looking appearance!
The third and final step of this system is Arctic Berry Peptide Radiance Cream - a very soothing cream for all skin types. This all-powerful moisturizer nourishes the skin with ultra-hydrating organic oil. The cream targets collagen loss, dehydration and inflammation, acting as an anti-aging powerhouse! These peptides will gently relax muscles and diminish wrinkle size to provide a Botox-like effect as well as boost collagen production naturally!! WOW!
The benefits of the complex are supported by the mix of organic arctic berries, lingonberry seed oil and gotu-kola stem cells to reduce skin sensitivity, increase hydration and protect from free radical damage.

Real results in three easy steps! Pamper yourself with a professional treatment and at-home regime today!

Collagen Induction Therapy - now with less pain and downtime!

     Since introducing Collagen Induction Therapy to Omaha in 2009, Alternatives has continued to remain at the forefront of refining the treatment for maximum effectiveness for wrinkles, sagging skin, scarring, and more. Some of our contributions include developing skincare product protocols to complement CIT, integrating home roller therapy with in-clinic procedures, and now combining the new Dermapen technology with medical grade microneedle rollers.



 
CBS Philadelphia features CIT and new Dermapen


     “The #1 improvement to CIT using the dermapen has been the ability to change the needle size in different areas at any time. This is especially useful in areas difficult to reach with the roller such as around the nose, under the eyes, and around the lips. Also, it is less painful in those areas as well” A clinical roller only penetrates to one depth for the entire procedure, but being able to adjust the depth at any time makes the dermapen more versatile in the sensitive and bony areas of treatment. 

In a open comparative study of 60 patients comparing Dermapen to Dermaroller (a brand of microneedle roller) for the treatment of atrophic acne scarring (1), patients treated with the Dermapen unanimously felt that the procedure was much less painful than the Dermaroller, and the downtime was significantly shorter with the Dermapen.

     At Alternatives we have seen excellent healing of acne scars with CIT – just note that it cannot be used on any active acne.

 If you are interested in learning more about Collagen induction Therapy and how it can benefit you we have free consultations available. We’ll cover the science behind CIT, why it works, in clinic treatments and home roller options, how to prepare your skin for CIT, and answer any questions. Wrinkles, sagging skin, acne scars and more, we can recommend a custom treatment regimen that works for you to achieve the results you are looking for.  Contact us at 402-827-9450 or alternativesomaha@gmail.com if you have any questions or to schedule a free consultation.

Precision Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) an Effective Way to Treat Fine Lines and Scars

Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is one successful and popular way that Alternatives: A Center for Conscious Health, has been improving the appearance of women throughout the Omaha area for the past several months. Now the clinic is offering a variation on this innovative procedure called Precision CIT, a process that targets fine lines or wrinkles and scars even more effectively and painlessly. 

The typical CIT procedure uses a sterile roller comprised of a series of fine needles, which penetrate directly into the skin’s dermis. Each of these micro injuriesstimulates the surrounding tissue to produce new collagen and elastin with minimal harm to the skin's protective barrier. Precision CIT employs a state-of-the-art digital permanent make-up pen without ink to work those fine lines and stimulate collagen production in areas that can be even harder to reach. The sensation is of tickling and the procedure is relatively pain-free, allowing more sensitive ares to be worked on. “With Precision CIT, I can more effectively and comfortably work a scar or lines around the eyes and lips,” said Donette Smith, L.M.T., Alternatives Aesthetician. “The skin regenerates and looks normal and healthy.

If you’re like most women looking for a way to improve your skin and appearance, the new non-surgical and affordable procedures on the market today are welcome options. Alternatives: A Center for Conscious Health, is the first clinic in Omaha to offer Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT).
