The Italian BioLift - Part 2

The Italian BioLift typically requires 8 to 10 sessions, though results can usually be seen immediately. Clients say their skin appears tighter, healthier, and glowing. Once, the collagen has been rebuilt, effects are lasting depending on how well you care for your skin.

Neck Wrinkles

The patient shown here (see before picture), for instance, had tried everything to get rid of the deep wrinkle lines on her neck even though her face was virtually wrinkle-free. The structure of the skin under her chin was also starting to break down and she was developing a classic droopy pouch.

Chin Pouch

In her case, the pouch under her chin was a fat pad, so I treated it first with a special injection that dissolves fat. Then I started her on a series of injections, targeted at accelerating collagen-building. After each treatment, I applied a cold laser to further increase collagen building. With each series, her neck wrinkles filled in, becoming less noticeable. After six treatments, she was thrilled with the results (see after picture).

Positive Results!

The Italian BioLift for Face and Neck is great for men, too. Many women recommend it for men in their lives to help minimize forehead wrinkling and neck sagging. The men enjoy it because it’s so natural looking. There are no side effects except for occasional minimal bruising at injection site, which is minimized by the cold laser treatment and resolves quickly.

Whether you have advanced wrinkling or you want to use it preventively, the Italian BioLift can give you a smooth, toned, and natural result that will last. We also offer natural aesthetics services to complement the BioLift. These include organic facials and resurfacing using pure, natural products that support your body’s healing for the most beautiful results possible.   

The Italian BioLift - Part 1

I often get inquires from women, and even men, who want to know about natural cosmetic procedures that really work. They don’t want the cost or risk of surgery (to say nothing of the “pulled” look). Or, they’re tired of the Botox routine—a good thing since new animal studies show the Botulin toxin circulates through the body and liver and may pass into the brain. They’re determined to find something safe, non-invasive, and effective.

For these clients, I always recommend The Italian BioLift for the face and/or neck. Results have been outstanding especially for smoothing and repairing crepe-like, wrinkled, saggy necks. It’s been a beauty boon to people who have done a great job of keeping their faces rejuvenated but not their neck areas.

The Italian BioLift is so called because central to the technique is a unique natural medicine developed by the Italian company, GUNA. GUNA provides thoroughly researched, highly effective homeopathic medicines that keep them on the forefront of integrative medicine. I was one of the first U.S. doctors to train in Italy under the GUNA Method and now teach the approach to other doctors.

The Italian BioLift involves a series of relatively painless, shallow injections directly into the face and neck areas. The natural medicine that is injected includes a dilution of medicines, vitamins, minerals, collagen, and herbals. In combination these ingredients help improve the texture, tone, and tightness of the face and neck skin by boosting collagen production. It’s especially effective at eliminating fine wrinkles and “turkey neck.” 

Next week I'll talk about how the BioLift works.

EnergyAesthetics: A unique Approach to Skin Care Rejuvenation, Part 3

Probably our most popular treatment is a facial that combines micro-current with gem stones and color light. This unique treatment creates an accelerated healing environment for skin and body rejuvenation. Micro-current is supported with over 30 years of research. It activates the skin’s natural responses to create glowing heath. The micro-current mimics the body’s natural electrical energy, allowing the skin to regenerate through increased collagen and elastin production. It firms skin tone, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and minimizes any puffiness. At the same time, it relieves stress helping to recharge your body and leaving you feeling new and totally relaxed.

Adding color therapy with healing LED lights and spiral helix gem therapy (“Acugems Facial Rejuve™”) to the micro-current brings additional benefit. Acugems uses naturally energizing gems to boost the skin’s energy and radiance. It helps regulate the flow of energy in the body to improve overall health and restore balance. The treatment also address underlying causes, such as digestive problems, hormonal imbalance, and emotional stress, which get reflected in the face through dark circles, dry or lusterless skin, sagging skin, drooping eyelids, blemishes, and excessive wrinkling.

The result is a “whole body facial” that leaves your face glowing and your body recharged. Not only does your face look like it has dropped ten years of aging, your body feels that way, too.

EnergyAesthetics: A unique Approach to Skin Care Rejuvenation, Part 2

“The face tells a story about your body,” says Deborah. “So it’s important to take the whole person into consideration. People love this approach because it makes sense to them. They come in for their face, and then when they experience the connection between health and beauty, they are committed to caring for their body.” Often this is the first experience people have of the powerful connection between the state of the body and the beauty of the face, she adds. When they experience the opening up of energy channels in the body through acupressure, the effects on the face are magical.

EnergyAesthetic services begin with a face and body assessment to identify any physical or energy changes in the body. Our aestheticians are trained to look for energetic shifts that may be affecting the skin color, rate of aging, degree of wrinkling, and general tone. In some cases, there may be deeper health issues that need attending. For instance, aging can be accelerated by hormonal changes before or around menopause. That’s where I come in, as a medical consultation for hormone balancing and harmonizing may be recommended. Especially important is the function and health of your digestive system.  Many people have no idea that their face reflects how well their GI tract is working.

Worden Medical Specialties conducts clinical trials to assess the safety and efficacy of new modalities and products. We want to be sure our aesthetic services deliver beautiful results. We offer natural skin care products including a 100% organic skin care line that is free of all perfumes, chemicals, preservatives and coloring. For clients interested in a natural, highly effective alternative to chemical peels, we also offer organic mini-peels that use essential oils to gently exfoliate. 

EnergyAesthetics modalities may include therapeutic light and color puncture targeted at acupuncture points. Facial acupuncture works well for training the mucles to contract to a normal state so laxicity of the skin is improved We also use gem therapy with micro-current, and reflexology to create energy flow in the body and face. Additionally, I offer European homeopathic injections in combination with cold laser for wrinkles  and spot fat reduction.  As an international lecturer on both therapies, which are both proven to increase collagen production, I have seen dramatically beautiful results, especially for the skin on the neck area as well as facial rejuvenation.
