I wish I could remember which inspired member of the Truth In Aging community gave me the idea to use Baby Quasar, the at-home LED device, with Osmosis Replenish, a powerful antioxidant serum. You know who you are, so stepped forward and be thanked. It turned out the be an excellent suggestion and one of the best treatments I have found yet for the hands.

I have been giving myself regular Baby Quasar sessions for at least a year and the backs of my hands have benefited by looking a little smoother and plumper. Then I recently started to use Baby Q with Osmotics new Lipofill serum for labial nasal lines (marionette or puppet lines) and found that they worked much better together than alone. Logically, Osmosis and Replenish would play nice together too.

The effect turned out to be really impressive. After applying some Replenish to each hand, I used the Baby Q on the green setting, followed the flashing setting. This takes about six minutes per hand. My hands looked so nice and plumped up that even my knuckles looked smoother.

I was convinced that the effects would be short-lived, but no. I am writing this five days later and my hands still look great. In fact, I keep peeking at them all the time. Its like having the hands of a younger woman. I intend to keep this up for a while and see if it should be incorporated into my regular regimen.

It is worth reminding ourselves that there are good scientific reasons for using topical antioxidants with a Baby Quasar or any other LED device. Several studies claim that LLLT (low level light therapy) can be pro-oxidant in the short-term, but anti-oxidant in the long-term and a Chinese study concluded that the pro-oxidant effects can be significantly diminished by applying vitamin C or superoxide dismutase. (Read more on how LED works)

It is good to know that, amongst many other antioxidant ingredients, superoxide dismutase is in Replenish.

I see no reason why Osmosis Replenish couldn’t be used with Baby Q on any other part of the body or on the face. By the way, I am also working with Your Best Face on some serum concentrate that can be used with LED. More of that to come.

I used Clarisonic’s new Opal Sonic Infusion System ($245) for the first time yesterday evening. Even having slept on it, I am not yet sure what to make of the experience. According the Clarisonic’s own description, the hand-held device uses sonic vibrations to deliver an antiaging serum into “the outermost layers of the epidermis”. So here’s what happens.

The serum is dispensed from the top section of the device onto a small silicone pad. And when I say small, I mean pea-sized. A small pea. With the serum in situ, you switch on the device and rub the pad around the eye. Clarisonic instructs you to avoid the actual lid and getting too close to the under eye area. Basically, you are targeting the crow’s feet. Once activated, the device buzzes and vibrates gently against the skin. 30 seconds later it stops and the process is repeated for the other eye. Now, goodness knows, I like my treatments to be short and sharp, but this was almost anticlimatic.

I wrote about the serum that comes with the Opal the other day and it has a mostly impressive and long list of antiaging ingredients, so my overriding question is whether the sonic vibrations of this (not exactly inexpensive device) is really doing a better job than the pinky that came free with the rest of my body.

I get the Clarisonic brush: the sonic frequency generates 300 movements per second and the brush massages away to clean the skin of dead cells and debris. I am also the proud owner of a Phillips Sonicare toothbrush (the Sonicare part was invented by the guy behind Clarisonic). So even though I can’t quite buy that the vibrations help the serum along its merry way, I am prepared to suspend disbelief.

Hmm, I can feel a side by side test coming on…. one eye with my pinky, one with the Opal.

The other thing that initially struck me as odd, is that the instructions imply that the Opal is only to be used around the eye. Digging down a bit more, I found that Clarisonic says that it can also be used on the lip and forehead lines. To me, at least, the little silicone pad seems much too small to attempt to do the entire face.

To summarize so far: I like the ingredients in the serum; I like a treatment that takes 30 seconds a lot; I don’t really like that I have to spend a $100 to replace the part of the device that dispenses the serum (not very green to keep tossing all this plastic and unlike with, say the Baby Quasar, I feel I am being locked in to a particular product). Still, I like my other Clarisonic products very much and I am intrigued as to how this will perform over time. I’ll be back in a few weeks.

I have just taken possession of my new Clarisonic Opal from the people that brought us the Clarisonic Brush. This is the Sonic Infusion System ($245) that uses sonic vibrations to deliver an antiaging serum into “the outermost layers of the epidermis”. The device is currently charging (for 24 hours) and so, in the meantime, I am taking a look at the serum. Of course, in the back of mind I am thinking that if I don’t like the look of their potion, I could always use one of my own. But no, Clarisonic doesn’t just make it difficult to use any serum but theirs, they have done their best to make it impossible.

The Clarisonic Opal comes in two parts (plus the charger). The top section is already loaded with serum and has dispensing button to squirt serum on the applicator that is attached to the bottom section. When the serum runs out, you can’t refill the top section. This means that you have to send it to a landfill (the planet and its future inhabitants thank you Mr Clarisonic) and buy another. As a matter a fact, a set of two (three month supply) for $100. I think this is called customer lock-in.

So what is in the Clarisonic serum that I am about to become wedded to? I must admit that it is mostly an impressive concoction of botanicals and antiaging collagen and elastin builders. The first ingredient after water is willow herb, a natural antibacterial and a good source of vitamins C and A (you will also find it Kinera’s Red Carpet Facial). But faced with such a long list of ingredients, I’m going to focus on some of the more unusual ones.

Silanetriol trehalose ether. This is a kind of silanol (organic silicone) and it is supposed to rehydrate and target the cell membranes. Trehalose is also listed separately. It is found in desert succulent called Selaginella, often called the resurrection plant) is a sugar rich in hydrophilic properties, binding water molecules within the epidermic tissue and protecting the skin. There is also hydrolyzed casein, a milk derivative primarily used as a food additive, but also seen in skin care products. Caseins make up 80% of milk proteins and are a great source of amino acids.

There are a bunch of marine extracts that are useful for skincare. Laminaria digitata, or Atlantic kelp, is rich in compounds that are of specific use in the cosmetic industry, such as polygalactosides, fucose polymers and ursolic acid. Skeletonema is an antioxidant. Back on dry land, opuntia is a cactus and its fruit extracts are antioxidant.

I haven’t found any research to support what hydrolized elastin does, but we are on firmer ground with glycosaminoglycans. The primary role of glycosaminoglycans is to maintain and support collagen, elastin and turgidity (bounce) in the cellular spaces and keep protein fibers in balance and proportion. It also promotes the ability of the collagen and elastin fibers to retain moisture, therefore remaining soluble (Source). GAGs are important in the reaction of copper peptides to help repair wrinkles and scarring. Known as the water reserve of the viable epidermis and dermis, these carbohydrates are dependent on fluid intake. Glycosaminoglycans are also linked to the lymphatic system.

Tomorrow, I shall be trying out the serum and the Opal, so watch this space.

I have become a big fan of LED light therapy with monthly salon sessions and top ups at home with my Baby Quasar. My husband is more than a little bemused by these rituals and a few months ago, he asked my how LED works to rejuvenate the skin. It’s a good question and, until recently, it was poorly understood. Scientists, like me, could see the results, but couldn’t explain them. Apologies for the long post, but it turns out that LED is complex and controversial.

Granted that even NASA said good things about LED: “Low-energy photon irradiation by light in the far-red to near-IR spectral range with low-energy (LLLT) lasers or LED arrays has been found to modulate various biological processes in cell culture and animal models. This phenomenon of photobiomodulation has been applied clinically in the treatment of soft tissue injuries and the acceleration of wound healing.”

But even NASA was a bit vague about the whys and hows. Around 2003, it was being described as similar to photosynthesis. A Harvard paper summed it up in 2006: “The use of low levels of visible or near infrared light for reducing pain, inflammation and edema, promoting healin of wounds, deeper tissues and nerves, and preventing tissue damage has been known for almost forty years since the invention of lasers. Originally thought to be a peculiar property of laser light (soft or cold lasers), the subject has now broadened to include photobiomodulation and photobiostimulation using non-coherent light. Despite many reports of positive findings from experiments conducted in vitro, in animal models and in randomized controlled clinical trials, LLLT remains controversial.”

The controversy was due to the mechanism of how LED or low level light therapy (LLL) works being a bit of mystery. The second issue – contributing to the mystery – is that experiments would vary things like wavelength, pulse density and goodness knows what making it difficult to see replicated conclusions.

Then came along some research that suggests that it has to do with water. Researchers in Germany concluded that “by targeting water layers on elastin, facial wrinkle levels could be significantly reduced by irradiation of the skin with visible light, which was found to interact with interfacial water layers on model substrates.”

So there we have it. But not so fast. I was pulling all this information together when, the other day, I received an email from Angela with a link to an article that said that researchers found that LED did a good job on wrinkles but also the exposure to intense LED light generated high levels of reactive oxygen species, as byproducts that can potentially damage cells. Eeek!

To combat that effect, the article went on to say the researchers combined the LED with a potent antioxidant in green tea extract called epigallocatechin gallate. And all was well again. Hmm. What was going on? And, as Angela, reasonably asked, would our Baby Quasar’s be destroying our cells?

The researchers turned out to be none other than the Germans who came up with the water theory mentioned above. I went back to look at their research paper and couldn’t find a single mention of reactive oxygen species being generated or epigallocatechin gallate. Nor could I find any other research papers of theirs that did – only the article (which didn’t have any links back to the research). Perhaps the article was planted by the green tea council.

Most of the science seems to agree that light therapy increases production of ATP (the energy engine of cells) and the modulation of reactive oxygen species and that, according to that Harvard paper mentioned above, “these effects in turn lead to increased cell proliferation and migration (particularly by fibroblasts), modulation in levels of cytokines, growth factors and inflammatory mediators, and increased tissue oxygenation.”

Then I found some research that focused specifically “on the role of reactive oxygen species in the cellular and tissue effects of low level light therapy (LLLT).” It said that ROS scavengers, antioxidants and ROS quenchers block many LLLT processes. However, it concluded that  ”it may be the case that LLLT can be pro-oxidant in the short-term, but anti-oxidant in the long-term.”

This chimes with a Chinese study that suggests there may be something to the green tea theory. It says that ROS can be activated by LED but this is significantly diminished by applying vitamin C or superoxide dismutase.

My take on all of this is that the benefits of LED are well-documented and wide-ranging. However, the light can also signal scavengers in the short-term, but that these are ultimately overthrown by the antioxidant activity that the light stimulates. On the other hand, using a topical antioxidant seems to speed up that process. So I am definitely going to continue enjoying the benefits of my Baby Q, but will be sure to slather on my favorite serum first.

In the quest to fend off the signs of aging, many men and women find that healthy living and anti-wrinkle lotions and potions fail to deliver the youthful looks they desire. As reported by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the total number of plastic surgery procedures performed in the US increased 3% in 2008, with the number of Botox and Hyaluronic filler injections increasing 8% and 6%, respectively.

While nips and tucks are nothing new in the anti-aging community, there’s a new contender in town that offers up something previously unavailable – permanent silicone lip implants. SurgiSil, a medical device company from Texas, offers a permanent facial implant marketed in the United Kingdom as PermaLip. PermalLip has recently gained attention in the United States since being featured on The Doctors, a popular daytime television program.

In an attempt to avoid the dreaded “trout pout” look sported by many celebrities, women are turning to Perma Facial Implant, which “is contoured, has a smooth surface to minimize tissue growth, and is reversible.” Unlike commonly used lip plumpers like collagen and Restylane, insertion of the PermaLip implant is a one-time procedure and, unlike injectable fillers, PermaLip can’t redistribute into an undesired portion of the lip, an ugly and obvious sign of having used lip fillers.

So is PermaLip too good to be true? Ever since we reviewed the Feather Lift procedure and saw some of the nasty results of this facial implant, we’ve been wary of any permanent sub-dermal insertions. Various internet message boards, which are notorious for hosting scathing beauty reviews, have glowing accounts from individuals who have had the PermaLip procedure themselves -despite procedural costs of over $2000. On the other hand, the association of silicone implants and toxicity are fairly clear.

The Journal of Toxicology reported that silicone injections led to multi-organ failure. Research collected by the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee (PSC) for the National Breast Implant Litigation shows that silicone has marked effects on the adrenal glands and liver, induces chronic inflammation, and degrades into smaller molecules, including silica. Silicone fed to rabbits produced widespread toxic effects including kidney and spleen damage within four months. (Stanford Medical Bulletin, 10:1 [1952], 23-26.) “That silicone is toxic in both animals and man is well proven“, stated John S. Sergent, M.D., and colleagues in Textbook of Rheumatology (W.B. Saunders Company, 1993).

For the past few weeks I have been putting the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa, a handheld device that emits a direct electronic current that is supposed to firm the skin, clear up breakouts and fade wrinkles, through its paces. I have tested it on different zones of my face, my body and it has got up close and personal with another home light treatment, Baby Quasar. In some ways the Galvanic Spa has left me impressed. Yet, I do have some reservations. Of which more later.

First, I need to point out that the Galvanic Spa is meant to be used in conjunction with potions and lotions. Based on the theory that light charges repel, the galvanic negative currents encourage the absorption of charged ingredients. The treatment starts with a cleanser and then gels are smeared over the area to be treated. To give Nu Skin a thorough trial, I used it with the gels and without, and with potions by other companies.

I should admit that I wasn’t messing with the gels just to test the device every which way. The thing is, I don’t really like the gels and this is probably my biggest reservation with Nu Skin’s Galvanic Spa. The kit comes with two sets of gels: the Pre-Treatment gel for using with the device on the lower setting for one minute and the Treatment Gel for three minutes on the higher setting.

The Treatment Gel, in particular, contains some antioxidant botanicals, such as schizandra chinensis, a fruit native to China and Japan that has long been used as a tonic for skin disorders. Recent studies have shown it to have antioxidant properties. It has also been found to have phytoestrogens and there are conflicting studies as to whether these cause or prevent cancer. In any event, the gels are glooey and gloopy, don’t rinse off well and dry quickly to form a crumbly mess. Plus, there are several preservatives, such as chlorpenesin and phenoxyethanol, that I’d rather avoid.

However, the gels are difficult to exclude from the process. Some kind of gel is needed as the electronic currents from the device prickle uncomfortably on dry skin. I did try Nu Skin with an IMAGE Skincare Ageless gel and it seemed to work fine. It doesn’t seem to work with an opaque cream. For example, I tried Nu Skin side by side Baby Quasar on the labial nasal lines with the new Osmotics Lipofill cream. It simply didn’t provide the protective barrier of a gel and rendered the Galvanic Spa too unpleasant to use. So, ultimately, it was back to the gels.

In side-by-side comparisons with Baby Quasar, Nu Skin was an unqualified success on the brow bone and eye area. I swear my left eyebrow (the Nu Skin side) was noticeably higher than the right (Baby Q). For an eye lift look, Nu Skin is impressive (and it only takes five minutes). Nu Skin is also very good at tightening the forehead and smoothing lines across the brow. Even the next day, the Nu Skin side was a little better than the Baby Q side.

However, Baby Q (with Osmotics Lipofill and even with IMAGE) was hands down better at plumping the labial nasal lines and lifting the jawline. Baby Q was also way more effective on hands, neck and decollete. I also found that Nu Skin (despite its multi-tasking claims) didn’t have any effect on cellulite (I tried it with the Nu Skin Body gel).

My conclusion is that Nu Skin performs very well around the eye and areas where the wrinkles are near the surface. Whilst Baby Quasar does a better job of penetrating deep and improving tougher, aged areas. Note that I did not try Nu Skin for hair growth, or for treating acne.

Clarisonic, makers of the eponymous brush, has come up with a new device that will launch in January called the Opal Sonic Infusion System ($245). Unlike, the bush, which cleanses the skin and removes dead skin cells, Clarisonic’s Opal Sonic Infusion System uses sound waves to help topical products penetrate the epidermis.

Much as Clarisonic has impressed me with my beloved brush, the Opal raises a few questions. How do sound waves help a substance penetrate the skin? And, assuming it does work, will it help penetrate the good along with the bad?

Clarisonic will be selling an anti-aging serum along with the Opal. I don’t much about what’s in it accept the actives. These include kigelia africana, which is in Pevonia’s bust-firming serum. With its gorgeous bat-pollinated flowers and bizarre monster sausage-like fruit, it is an antibacterial, a “significant” (in the words of one study) anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The leaves and flowers are rich in hexadecanoic acid, a fatty acid, and the other important component is verminoside. There are also steroids that explain why the plant has traditionally been used to treat eczema.

The rest of the ingredients appear to be useful, but not exceptional. There are glycosaminoglycans, a family of carbohydrates that play an important role in connective tissue between cells. They are also a component of hyaluronate, which provides the body with moisture. Although they are easily accepted into the skin because of their positive charge, and can moisturize the skin, the effects are probably temporary.

Then there is Canadian willow herb (or, epilobium angustifolium extract), which has both antimicrobial and anti-irritant properties for the skin, and antioxidant oat kernel extract.

I have put my name down for an email alert when Clarison’s Opal is unleashed to the world.

Every once in a while, I have an eczema eruption on my hands. I can usually treat it by paring back my beauty products to the tried and trusted for a few days and dabbing on some Exederm. The eczema flare up that started about ten days ago refused to respond. Every couple of days it would abate and then come back worse than ever. By the weekend, I was in despair until I had one of those random thoughts: Baby Quasar.

The Baby Quasar is an at-home LED device that is mostly used for improving skin texture and encouraging collagen production. Lately, it has been doing a great job on my labial nasal lines. LED machines, at least the salon versions, are also very good at clearing acne and rebuilding acne scars. I was really putting two and two together to make five by thinking that Baby Q might help with eczema, but I was willing to try anything by then.

Much to my genuine surprise, my hunch proved right. I tried two minutes on the flashing light setting and four minutes on the ‘green’ setting. The effect was instantaneous. My skin (which had gotten quite tight and uncomfortable) relaxed, was less dry and flakey, stopped itching and many of the fluid-filled bumps subsided.

I found that the effect was long-lasting. I was able to skip Exederm for the rest of the day. I have repeated the treatment twice more and there has been an incremental improvement and I am still free of the need to use an eczema cream.

Although I am feeling pretty proud of my little flash of genius, I am not going to be able to patent this idea. It turns out that phototherapy – defined as “exposing the skin to UVA and UVB light using low intensity light emitting diodes (LED)” – is a well-known, although relatively new eczema cure that is gaining interest from researchers.

Baby Quasar’s are not inexpensive at $449. However, it has proven to be much more versatile than I would ever have thought since I use it as an anti-ager for face, throat and decollete, and hands. I have even used it to treat muscle pain and now, of course, it will be on duty whenever eczema flares up. Subscribers to Truth In Aging’s newsletters will get 10% off Baby Q at the Truth In Aging store.

Sephora is offering a limited edition set of the Clarisonic Brush and Kinerase C8 Intensive Treatment ($338). This is a great marketing idea before the holidays and Kinerase has got to be an improvement over the nasty cleansing lotions that Clarisonic packages with its otherwise wonderful brush, which I use almost every day to lift debris and close pores.

There’s no great mystery to Kinerase products. They are all based on kinetin, a plant hormone (or cytokinin) that regulates cell growth. In Kinerase products kinetin usually appears in its synthetic version, N6-Furfuryladenine. There is one seemingly independent, 48-week clinical study, conducted in 1996 at the University of California at Irvine (until it becomes clear that it was conducted under the direction of Gerald D. Weinstein, M.D., who happens to be on the advisory board of Senetec, the company that originally made kinetin).

Kinetin isn’t the only proprietary ingredient here. Acetyl octapeptide-3 is SNAP-8, a muscle contraction inhibitor that is made by Kinerase and is being marketed as the second generation of Argireline, against which it is said to be 30% more effective. According to studies (albeit published by Kinerase and not seemingly backed by any independent researchers), it can reduce the depth and appearance of wrinkles by 34.9% (Source).

A nice addition is a stable, non-irritating, but potent form of vitamin C, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate. Otherwise there are useful, but not exceptional additions of green tea and vitamins A, B and E. As always with the Kinerase products, a lot is riding on kinetin.

Ingredients in Kinerase C8 Intensive Treatment:

Purified Water, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Stearic Acid, Kinetin, Acetyl Octapeptide-3, Camellia Sinensis Leaf (Green Tea) Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Sodium Carboxymethyl Beta Glucan, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Retinyl Palmitate, PEG-100 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Tromethamine, PPG-12/SMDI Copolymer, Carbomer, Disodum EDTA, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate.
