IS YOUR SKIN IN SHAPE?
We all know that in order to achieve body fitness, we should eat healthfully and exercise. But have you ever given much thought to "skin fitness?"
Just as no fitness plan for the body could survive on push-ups alone, a holistic approach is best when it comes to skin care. Topically, we can apply products that will lend protection from environmental stressors and premature aging. Internally, we can consume nutritious foods and minerals. And finally, we can maintain our skin fitness by getting regular skin treatments designed to preserve the health of our skin.
Healthy skin is a goal taken very seriously at DermaEsthetica, where years of expertise and experience come together to ensure a personalized and effective approach to each client's skin challenges. The staff at DermaEsthetica in Lake Oswego know about skin - its structure, functions and aging process. With non-invasive skin-rejuvenating treatments, advanced technologies and a clinical approach, DermaEsthetica has earned its reputation as the authority on skincare.

Three years ago, DermaEsthetica introduced a new skincare line, Avitalin. Superior cosmecutical ingredients influence the biological functions of the skin and provide lasting benefits by strengthening the protective barrier of the skin without using parabens, harsh chemicals, mineral oils, lanolin or petrolatum, according to the Web site.
The latest products in this line are among the most revolutionary to date.The Smooth Contour Lotion contains an anti-wrinkle compound that recently won a Swiss Technology Award.
The compound mimics the effect of walgerin 1, a peptide found in the venom of the Temple Viper. The synthetic venom works by lessening the amount of muscle contraction in the target area - this does not limit a person's ability for expression, but simply reduces the damage caused by muscle contractions. The result is smoother skin contours and the appearance of fewer wrinkles.Another innovative Avitalin product is Placentine. Placental extract is the key ingredient in this anti-aging product. Placental protein - sometimes known as living cell therapy - has a rich source of skin nutrients. These nutrients replenish the skin and promote natural suppleness, elasticity and tone. Placenta also contains 56 identified bio-stimulants, which promote natural cell renewal.
The DermaEsthetica skin clinic specializes in anti-aging therapies, such as micro-current, non-surgical "face lifts," ultrasonic therapy, phototherapies and oxygen infusions. For everything from acne management to pigmentation correction, DermaEsthetica is the place to go for anyone who is serious about skincare.



In addition, the body clinic at DermaEsthetica includes a variety of body therapies from a massage therapist who specializes in clinical massage therapy. The benefits of clinical massage therapy include pain relief, stress reduction, release of muscular tension, increased circulation and improved metabolism.Therapy can increase range of motion, accelerate muscle recovery, reduce muscle spasms, alleviate and normalize soft or connective tissue, and ease chronic and acute pain in the neck, shoulder, mid and lower back.To find out about the unique treatments offered at DermaEsthetica and to view Avitalin products and specials, visit www.dermaesthetica.com and www.avitalin.com or call for a complimentary consultation 503.675-5238
