New Year, New Strategies for Aging Well!
We love Southern California! There is sunshine year-round! Running at the beach, playing tennis, golf and hiking are just some of the outdoor activities we enjoy. However, the sun’s damaging effects on the skin are a major risk factor. Sunscreen is the number one strategy to reduce the risk of sun damage and photoaging, but what can be done about the DNA damage caused by the sun that accumulates?
Science has shown that the sun causes cancerous DNA damage in skin cells generated by ultraviolet light. Melanin the substance that gives the skin color is involved, and in the worst case can cause melanoma the deadliest of skin cancers. Importantly, the sun directly alters DNA in the skin, but the damage continues in the dark. This means that in addition to sunscreen, DNA repair products can treat the damage while you sleep.
At MFC we want to help you age well. Here we offer you strategies for aging well no matter your age. Let’s start the new year off right.
Select your level of sun damage:
Low Sun Damage
For young people with minimal sun damage, we recommend this anti-aging protocol:
- DNA repair products have been specifically formulated by Dr. Ronald Moy to repair DNA damage caused by the sun while also treating the damage incurred. These products are loaded with clinically proven substances like antioxidants and plant-based growth factors to stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes. They are potent and effective to hydrate the skin, and treat enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation issues, and photo damage. They work by accelerating the renewal of healthy skin cells for improved tone and texture while they repair sun damage. DNA Defense SPF50+ is unique because it contains sunscreen and DNA repair enzymes, so you prevent and treat at the same time.
- Monthly facials are an excellent way to improve skin texture and keep skin looking its best. Our licensed medical aesthetician offers multiple DNA EGF Repair facials designed to maximize skin care beyond standard antioxidant treatments. Our facials focus on anti-aging, lightening hyperpigmentation, and clearing acne-prone skin. We will help you select a series most appropriate for your skin concerns.
