*NEW* New VI Peel Creates Visible Difference After First Treatment The Levens Skin Rejuvenation Clinic is now featuring the VI Peel, a virtually painless chemical peel that has really impressed Clinic Director Deidre Fields. "We're seeing excellent results from this peel...a really visible difference after only one treatment," she says. "It improves skin tone, texture and clarity, reduces or eliminates age spots, freckles and hyperpigmentation, softens lines and wrinkles, and stimulates collagen production to firm the skin." A product of the Vitality Institute, the VI Peel takes about 45 minutes. Call 954-752-1020 for more information about the VI Peel and a full menu of our Skin Rejuvenation Clinic services Micro-mineral make-up: Looks great and it's good for you, too! Liquid foundation can clog pours, create a "shiny nose", leave an unsightly "makeup line" and wear off quickly. Thank goodness, there's now a terrific alternative. "One of the products I most enjoy recommending to our clients is Jane Iredale mineral makeup," says Levens Skin Care Clinic Director and licensed aesthetician Deidre Fields. "It was developed as a camouflage to cover post-laser skin redness, but it's wonderful for everyone. It is a natural sunblock, is extremely moisture-resistant, doesn't clog pours and is a natural anti- inflammatory for those of us with acneic skin.

"And besides all that, it looks fantastic. It covers imperfections and is so lightweight, you look and feel like you're not wearing make-up."

For a free sampling of Jane Iredale mineral make-up, call Deidre. She also offers corrective treatments for a variety of skin conditions, as well as facials and peels. Also available are permanent make-up and eyebrow reshaping services from licensed aesthetician Graciella Smyth. Call 954-752-1020 for appointments or a full menu of Clinic services.


Out, out, darn spot!
Hyperpigmentation: It can be treated!

What causes those annoying dark spots that seem impervious to over-the-counter treatments?

According to Deidre Fields, at the Levens Skin Care Clinic, hyperpigmentation can result from pregnancy, birth control pills, medications, and most commonly, from excessive sun exposure.

"Hyperpigmentatin can definitely be resolved, but the treatment is a process, not a single event," says Deidre, a Certified Clinical Aesthetician with 10 years experience. "The dark pigmentation is not just a stain on the skin's surface. It is produced by damaged cells below the surface. So even if you use a laser or deep chemical peel to remove the dark area, it will recur because the underlying cells are still producing darkened pigment."

That's why Deidre recommends "a steady diet of skin bleachers, such as hydroquinone and kojik acid, antioxidants and a high quality sunblock. Appropriate clinic treatments keep the skin primed and ready to accept homecare products that should be used daily. Healthy skin tissue responds much better to corrective change. With patience and ongoing care, the skin can certainly be renewed."

Deidre offers corrective treatments for a variety of skin conditions, as well as facials and peels. Also available are permanent make-up and eyebrow reshaping services from licensed aesthetician Graciella Smyth.
