FINE LINES, CROW’S FEET AND WRINKLES MAY BE INEVITABLE CHANGES TO OUR SKIN AS WE AGE, BUT WE DON’T HAVE TO ACCEPT THEM.
We’ve got a variety of options to camouflage, reduce or even banish these intruders, from creams right up to full-fledged, surgical face lifts.
You might have heard of a new technique, called micro-needling, which uses a device with fine needles to create tiny perforations in the top layer of our skin. This triggers a “wound healing response to stimulate new collagen formation,” explains renowned dermatologist Dr. R. Sonia Batra. This gives our skin its vitality, firmness and smoothness. Woefully, collagen production slows down as we get older.
Micro-needling may not be nearly as invasive as plastic surgery, but still, it’s a far cry from simply applying lotions and creams with our fingers. After all, the dermatologist has to use needles on our face. Ouch!
SAFE, PAINLESS & EFFECTIVE RESULTS AT HOME
But now, we can achieve practically the same results at home, with a painless, hand-held device, called the JeNu Ultrasonic Infuser. This sleek little tool leverages the power of ultrasound energy (365,000 pulses of ultrasonic energy per second, as a matter of fact!) to dramatically increase the rate, by six times, at which our skin absorbs the ingredients in our favorite skincare products. JeNu helps our serums and creams perform better and faster, to abolish crow’s feet, fine lines, and more. Who needs needles, even if they’re tiny, when you can do nearly the same thing right at home?!
Besides the pain, micro-needling usually causes bleeding, redness and puffiness. And, you’ll probably need two days of down time for healing, says Dr. Batra. Also, beware of the companies that are selling at-home micro-needling kits, she warns. You might be saving the cost of a doctor’s visit, but you’ll be risking infection, maybe even permanent scarring. “And, you might end up making your pores larger–permanently!”
Before I spoke to Dr. Batra, I was game to try one of the at-home kits so I could report the experience to my FOFriends. But when I got ready to run the needle-lined roller over my face, I thought, ‘What are you doing, Geri Brin?’ and put the kit on my bathroom shelf, where it has remained ever since.
JeNu is easy and fun to use. First, you apply your moisturizer or serum, as usual. Then you add a pearl-sized drop of exclusive “MicroSphere Gel” to the smooth metal head of the small wand, turn it on, and run it over a section of your face, a minute at a time. The ultrasound energy transfers through the essential microspheres (hollow miniscule spheres of protein) in the gel, helping your skin to absorb your skin care products better and faster.
THE RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
The results of a recent independent study on JeNu are pretty impressive: When 160 women used over 200 different products from 80 different brands, ranging from Olay to La Mer, 81% reported their products worked better when using them with JeNu vs alone. Meanwhile, 84% of them reported a decrease in the look of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, forehead and mouth. What’s more, JeNu is getting rave reviews from magazines like Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar, as well as from Dr. Batra.
Geri Brin, founder of FabOverFifty, has been using JeNu for about 10 months now, and her before-and-after photos speak for themselves. “I call the results pretty dramatic, working wonders on the areas of my face that most irritated me: My crows feet, under-eye droopiness, and nasolabial folds (those two lovely lines that run from beneath my nose, on both sides, to my lips.) Although everything hasn’t totally disappeared, the wrinkles and lines are far less pronounced. You can add my rave review to the rest,” Geri says.
Bye, bye Botox, micro-needling and every other costly, painful treatment.
