The entire physical body is taken into consideration with a holistic approach.

Skin Care Reduces Lines and Wrinkles
A regular skincare regime reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles that might reveal your age. As you grow older, your skin’s moisture production is significantly reduced. The loss of key hormones such as estrogen during menopause causes the body’s fat layer to diminish and collagen production slows which instigates wrinkle development. Applying moisturizers and creams nourish the skin and replace the body’s lost moisture. Eye creams reduce the appearance of crow’s feet. Topical vitamin C nourishes the skin and often improves its brightness and smoothness. Ascorbic acid also plumps up the skin and improves the underlying structure.
Cosmetic Procedures Reduce the Signs of Aging
Many people scoff at cosmetic procedures because they do not consider them a viable holistic approach to aging, but nothing could be further from the truth. Rejuvenating microdermabrasion is just one great cosmetic procedure used to create a youthful glow. It is a mechanical, non-invasive method of resurfacing your skin to encourage your body’s natural regeneration processes to smooth and remove lines and wrinkles. Your body naturally grows new skin and collagen after a microdermabrasion treatment.
