Once in a while a product line hits the market that revolutionizes the industry. With "New You", you no longer have to rely upon the skill of the skin care specialist to control the depth of penetration of the chemical or of the laser, nor do you have to settle instead for the weaker therefore less effective, though still invasive products.

"New You" completely removes the extraneous stratum corneum in one application without side-effects to complicate the natural process of skin renewal set into motion by exfoliation. People who have used acid peels or Retin-A (Retinoic Acid) for months are amazed by how smooth and youthful their skin instantly looks and feels without burning, scaling, prolonged redness, or increased sensitivity to the sun. The only way anyone can tell you are a "work in progress" is that you look undeniably younger. Friends and relatives have suspected surgery in many cases.

Retin-A, glycolic/Alpha-hydroxy acids, as well as salicylic acid (a Beta-hydroxy acid) - are invasive, whether they are used in a doctor's office or at home applying the weaker products. The FDA has received over 100 complaints about the over-the-counter hydroxy acid creams burning and blistering. They do little to boost cell metabolism and cause increased sensitivity to the sun. Results are infinitesimal compared to "New You" which exfoliates 100% in ten minutes.

Prescription strength products and clinical strength hydroxy acids applied under surgical conditions, give more dramatic results than the daily wrinkle creams, but along with this radical increase in potency comes the risk of post-inflammatory changes that further age you, prolonged redness, acute sensitivity to the sun, itching, scaling, dehydration, pigmentation, increased size of pores, breakouts, darkening of moles or spider veins, milia (white cysts), aggravation of existing skin conditions, and scarring. Insurance companies limit the percentages of acids they'll insure, which is a statement in itself about the wisdom of their use.

The enzymes presently being used to effect desquamation are on a par with acids. Skin care expert and dermatologist, Dr. Peter T. Pugliese in his book, Physiology of the Skin, classifies them as irritants when he warns, "Do not use alpha-hydroxy acids, or any of the new enzymes such as bromelain or papain, in any form on inflamed skin.

The ghostly skin tone from a phenol peel is because most of the epidermis can not regenerate itself post-peel. Derma-abrasion presents the same potential medical and esthetic risks, except for the presence of a hazardous chemical. These procedures are very painful, expensive, and require long periods of recovery. Also, a difference in pigmentation may occur regardless of precautions against sun exposure.

Hydroxy-acids have their place in history because they created the demand for more-long term skin rejuvenation treatments instead of covering up skin faults with make-up. Dermatologists and plastic surgeons for the most part have abandoned phenol peels and derma-abrasion in favor of correcting the skin by exfoliation, by removing only the stratum corneum, but the new "light peels" like tri-choloracetic acid (TCA), Bio-Medic "Micro-peel" and the Jessner Peel by no means target only the corneum, and are still potentially damaging and very costly while they lack sufficient cosmetic results. They penetrate the entire thickness of the epidermis below the stratum corneum, destroying living tissue and jeopardizing the basal cell layer, which if damaged could prevent the epidermis from fully regenerating itself post-peel. The elastosis produced by inflammation paradoxically accelerates wrinkling.

A typical cosmetic peeling formula or "light peel" for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles might contain 14% salicylic acid, 14% resorcinal, 14% lactic acid (85% solution) with 95% ethanol added to make 100%. Skin first becomes red and frosty and special measures must be taken to decrease discomfort from burning. Peeling doesn't begin until the fourth day, completing itself by day seven. It requires several weeks of pretreatment precautions and special aftercare, and is not for everyone.

Laser requires no anesthesia and is more precise than derma-abrasion or chemical peel, but experience has shown that laser resurfacing is not the benign procedure that estheticians, patients and the media had been told. It can cause burns and scarring, and residual redness lasts four to six months. Also, success depends too heavily upon the experience and skill of the surgeon.

"New You" is the only method that has the built-in control to remove the cornified epidermis without also invading healthy living tissue. It is the safest, most effective and affordable method. There is no other product like it anywhere on the market.
