Target the Effects of Aging With Nutrafol Collagen Infusion

Woman with healthy skin and hair

Once we hit 30, the body begins to break down collagen each year. That’s why as we age, it’s important to not only replenish what’s lost but defend and protect what we have. That’s where Nutrafol Collagen Infusion comes in.

Nutrafol Collagen Infusion is a daily collagen peptide powder that helps to strengthen hair, improve the visible signs of aging, and increase overall hydration and elasticity. Innovative ingredients such as Marine Collagen Peptides, Coq10, Citrus Flower Acids, and MSM all help to do just that.

Something that separates Nutrafol Collagen Infusion from other collagen supplements is that it is hydrolyzed. This means that the marine collagen has undergone an intricate process to break it down to help maximize absorption and effectiveness. Another nice thing about it is that it has an emphasis on the essential elements of hair and scalp health. This in turn helps to build stronger, fuller hair.

Ways to Ease Rosacea

Rosacea WomanRosacea can be described as a skin condition that relates to a tendency to blush or flush more easily. The redness is usually frequent, occurring all or most of the time. Although there is no cure for rosacea, there are a variety of ways to help manage it.

Some of these options include:

  • Morpheus8. The combination of micro-needling and radio-frequency help to stimulate the body’s ability to repair and heal itself. This leads to a significant improvement in the appearance and inflammation associated with the condition.
  • HydraFacial. The calming, nourishing ingredients gently soothe, moisturize, and comfort the skin. The appearance of the condition is improved immediately after treatment.
  • SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic. A safe antioxidant with non-irritating ingredients that helps to calm the skin and control any irritated redness.
  • SkinCeuticals Soothing Cleanser. A calming cleansing foam with botanical extracts that helps dissolve impurities while soothing compromised skin.

When it comes to rosacea an effective treatment plan is especially important. If you are dealing with it and want relief, contact the skincare experts at Lisa S. Ball, NP in Buffalo, NY.

The Perfect Treatment for Acne

Woman with clear skinAcne is a common skin condition that affects over 50 million people in the United States. It is usually seen in teens and young adults but can occur across the lifespan. So, what can you do to get clearer skin? The answer is simple, the HydraFacial.

What is the HydraFacial?

The HydraFacial is a facial treatment that utilizes patented vortex technology to gently exfoliate, cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin.

How does it help with acne?

The exfoliating tip with the suction helps to remove any debris and cleanse oily, congested skin. In addition, the nourishing topical solutions infused into the treatment help to destroy acne-causing bacteria and minimize inflammation.

When can results be seen?

Results are noticeable after just one treatment. However, depending on the severity of the acne, it may take a series of treatments for significant improvement.

Is it suitable for all ages?

Yes. All skin types as well.

Why choose the HydraFacial over another treatment?

In comparison to microdermabrasion, it is much gentler on the skin. And unlike traditional facials, it’s performed by a handheld device which allows for deeper penetration and longer-lasting results.

Although acne can be one of the more difficult skin conditions to treat, there is hope with the HydraFacial. To learn more about it, contact the acne treatment specialists at Lisa S. Ball, FNP today.

Tips for Dry Skin on the Face

Winter Dry Skin

This time of year a big concern for a lot of patients is dry, dehydrated skin on the face. So, what are some things you can do to help or prevent it altogether? Below are some great ways to do just that.

  • Get a good facial moisturizer. We recommend either the SkinCeuticals Daily Moisture or SkinCeuticals Emollience (depending on your skin type).
  • Limit your time in the shower. The longer the shower the more of the skin’s natural (and necessary) oils are stripped which leads to dryness. Try limiting it to 5-10 minutes.
  • Use a humidifier. A humidifier will add moisture to the air helping the skin in the process.
  • Get a HydraFacial with a booster. The HydraFacial by itself does an amazing job in replenishing the skin’s moisture but add in a booster and it takes it to another level. The potent ingredients in boosters help to further target and treat specific skin care needs.

If the winter weather is causing your skin to dry out, contact the skincare professionals at Lisa S. Ball today.

Effective Treatments for Male & Female Pattern Hair Loss

Man and woman hair loss

Male and female pattern hair loss is a common genetic condition characterized by progressive thinning and follicle miniaturization. In men, it usually presents itself with a recession of the hairline and a well-defined area of baldness. In women, it is usually more diffuse and located centrally on the top of the scalp. Although this condition can have sufferers feeling hopeless, there are some treatments that can help.

  • Minoxidil. An over-the-counter topical treatment that is clinically proven to stimulate follicles and regrow hair. Twice-a-day use yields the best results with progress being seen in 3-6 months.
  • Finasteride (Propecia). FDA-approved for men only, this oral medication prevents testosterone from converting to the hair loss causing hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone). In doing this, hair loss is effectively slowed.
  • Hair Transplantation. A procedure where hair follicles are taken from an area that is unaffected by pattern loss and moved to the thin or bald areas. Although the results are permanent, it is important to pair with minoxidil and/or finasteride to maintain any hair that was there prior to the transplant.
  • Viviscal PRO. A 100% drug-free supplement that helps promote existing hair growth. Results of thicker, fuller hair can be seen in as little as 3-6 months.
  • Nutrafol. A dietary supplement that uses a whole-body approach to address hair thinning and growth. The proprietary blend of ingredients assists in lowering DHT and reducing stress.

For most dealing with pattern hair loss, it is important to complement each of the above options for the best results. To learn more about which are best to use for your situation, contact the hair loss experts at Lisa S. Ball, NP today.
