Moisturizing Cream
Javani® Deep Moisturizing Cream by Kushka Cosmetics is a collagen-based moisturizer that absorbs quickly into the skin on contact, and infuses it with moisture, antioxidants, vitamins, and essential oils. The cream delivers Micronized Intact Collagen™, which absorbs into the epidermis to improve the cell-renewal process and leave the skin soft and supple. The all-natural product is alcohol free and does not leave an oily residue. It can be used as a daily facial and body moisturizer and during any skin-rejuvenation treatment. Repeated use helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Electronic Grooming Device
ilift is an electronic grooming device by Laser.com that brings spa-quality facial treatments to the home. In just 15 minutes, ilift reduces the depth of wrinkles, firms facial muscles, and improves skin conditions such as acne. ilift uses microdermal massage, IR rays, and negative and positive ions to offer the results of multiple spa treatments in one handheld electronic device. The soothing vibration of microdermal massage strengthens the skin’s elasticity; IR rays improve the circulation of blood vessels and speed up skin metabolism; and the negative and positive ions work together, above and below the skin. Negative ions attack facial bacteria and increase cellular resistance. Positive ions allow the skin to absorb the active ingredient of the LASERLIFT botAction creme, acetyl hexapeptide. Used in conjunction with ilift, the LASERLIFT botAction creme works like botulinum toxin Type A but does not require a needle. The creme’s active ingredient, Acetyl Hexapeptide, relaxes wrinkles by reducing the release of the chemicals that are responsible for muscle contractions associated with stress. LASERLIFT also contains rose hip extract and soybean protein, which exfoliate, reduce free radicals, stimulate collagen production, and help maintain hydration.

Cellulite Treatment
MedSurge Advances offers Acoustic Wave Therapy™ (AWT), a treatment program for cellulite. AWT smoothes and firms the areas where cellulite commonly forms: the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and arms. Unlike most devices that pull on the skin or melt the fat under the skin, leaving the connective-tissue band that is pulling down and causing the dimple in the first place, AWT breaks the band and releases the dimple. It also increases the skin’s density, blood flow, and lymphatic drainage. The therapy consists of six treatments, with one follow-up treatment after 6 months.

Moisturizing Body Cream
Body Cream by glospa combines Japanese green tea, white tea, red tea, green apple extract, and ergothioneine (an amino acid-improving antioxidant) to restore and maintain healthy skin. Green tea and white tea stimulate cell renewal to improve skin texture and elasticity, and to reduce dryness and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Red tea, also called rooibos, smoothes and tightens the skin. Green apple extract, rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and organic acids, improves the skin’s hydration and maintain its softness. Ergothioneine protects against free radicals and increases antioxidant activity and cell turnover.

Cellulite Laser Therapy
Cynosure has received FDA clearance for its SmartlipoTM system for laser-assisted lipolysis or LaserBodySculptingSM, a procedure that disrupts fat cells and causes coagulation of the tissue to tighten skin. Laser-BodySculpting uses a small cannula that contains a laser fiber that is inserted into the skin and is passed throughout the treatment area. The laser’s energy is applied directly to the fat cells, causing them to rupture and drain. Treatments with the Smartlipo system generally result in less swelling and bleeding compared to traditional liposuction methods, and they can usually be performed in one 45-minute session.
