Mineral Makeup

More and more companies advertise mineral makeup with the promise of healthier skin and improved protection from the sun. One of the companies that has been around for a long time is Jane Iredale Mineral Make Up.

Jane Iredale Introduced her makeup in May of 1994. Her makeup line was developed together with plastic surgeons and dermatologists. It is great makeup for after surgery or laser treatments since it conceals and provides essential sun protection important in the post procedure period.

Minerals in makeup are non-comedogenic and will not clog pores, they are virtually hypo-allergenic, provide broad spectrum UVB and UVA protection, can be anti-inflammatory soothing irritated skin, and they can provide good coverage for skin conditions such as acne, rosecea, or laser treated skin.

According to Christina Valhouli and her article in The New York Times, on August 24, 2006, a quality mineral makeup does not contain fragrances, dyes, mineral oil, or preservatives and are therefore very good for people with sensitive skin.

If you are interested in trying Jane Iredale mineral makeup please call us for a free makeup consult with one of our experienced aestheticians at Christine Hamori Plastic Surgery + Skin Spa.

Considering Injectables? Juvederm is on its way!

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery provides helpful information for anyone considering cosmetic injectables such as:
all offered by Dr. Hamori.

Read their guide on choosing an appropriate physician to administer cosmetic injectibles: Considering CosmeticInjectaible Treatments? and view this Quick Facts comparison chart.

Here's what Dr. Hamori has to add on this topic:

"I have been particularly pleased with the affect of low doses of Botox in the lower face — neck lines, frown lines around the chin and lip lines. This is an off label use of Botox but still allowed under the FDA guidelines. The combination of Restylane and Botox in the lip and chin area creates the illusion of youth. Many patients have returned to me for repeat treatments in 4-5 months because they have seen dramatic results. I will start using Juvederm next week and am excited about this new hyaluronic acid filler by the makers of Botox. Free injectible consultations are available in Duxbury, Massachusetts at 781-934-2200, or e-mail me via the web site Christine Hamori Cosmetic Surgery + Skin Spa."
