The Face of the Future

THE FACE OF THE FUTURE
SKIN SCIENCE EXPERT DR. JEANNETTE GRAF TALKS WHAT’S HOT AND
WHAT’S ON THE HORIZON FOR THE BRAVE NEW WORLD OF DERMATOLOGY

The Isolaz
The Isolaz is a brand-new deep-pore-cleansing acne laser. It is the only FDA-approved treatment for
acne pustules, blackheads and whiteheads. Isolaz uses patented PPX technology, which first vacuums
the contents of the pimple or pore and then uses laser light to destroy the acne-causing bacteria.
In addition to treating acne, Isolaz helps redness and brown spots, and is used for laser hair removal.

Probiotics, Oral and Topical The Face of the Future

Probiotics are protective bacteria—as opposed to antibiotics, which are used to kill harmful bacteria. As we get older, we use up our normal store of probiotics and need to replenish them in order to maintain glowing internal and external health. Probiotics in the intestines protect us from pathogens as well as harmful substances that we consume by mouth by neutralizing their toxicity and preventing their absorption into the body. Taking a probiotic supplement is essential for optimal health. The skin also is aided by probiotics, which protect us from external pathogens in the environment. One of the important focuses of skin research will be probiotics in skincare.

A New Type of “Botox”
Botox is widely used to relax deep furrows between the brows. It is extremely safe and extremely effective. Another frown relaxer known as Reloxin is currently in the FDA approval process. Reloxin has been used successfully for many years in Europe and Australia and will soon be approved for use in the USA.

New Filler
There is a new dermal filler called Evolence that is currently in the approval process. It promises to significantly diminish nose-to-mouth lines with excellent results. It is a purified form of collagen that will not require a skin test and lasts up to one year (so far). Another positive is the minimal bruising associated with this product, resulting in practically no downtime.
