Non-Surgical Facelift for Those Who Hate Needles and Knives

Aging and its effects on a person’s facial appearance can be a hard pill to swallow for some, but with a non-surgical facelift, a youthful appearance is possible through science…and without pain.

A non-surgical facelift procedure is designed to improve the appearance of aging and sun-damaged skin through products scientifically formulated to stimulate epidermal exfoliation, increase epidermal skin cell growth, restore epidermal enzyme activity and increase collagen synthesis and dermal glycoproteins. The results – minimal discomfort and downtime, improved skin texture and tightness, improved skin color, lightening of brown spots, decreased pore size and a decrease in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

It’s important to have a general understanding of how the skin grows and the fact that it has a normal peeling process called exfoliation in order to appreciate the science behind the non-surgical facelift. The non-surgical facelift produces an immediate improvement in the skin’s appearance on several levels. Plus, application of the non-surgical facelift on a regular basis actually produces a regenerating effect. It has been experimentally shown that regular removal of the external layers of stratum corneum stimulates cell proliferation in the cellular layers of the epidermis.

Our non-surgical facelift regimen with RX Systems PF looks like this:


Cleanse

Once makeup is removed, the face is cleansed with Rx System’s Reparative Cleanser. The reparative cleanser is designed to remove dead skin cells, dirt, oil, sweat, bacteria and other skin impurities.

Prep

Rx System’s Clarifying Toner, which contains a scientifically advanced glypoic complex in a proprietary-developed oil reduction solution, is then applied. The toner’s formulation works to reduce abnormal sebum secretion, eliminate abnormal keratinization and adjust the pH of the skin, increasing the benefit of the glycolic acid peel.


Glycolic Peel

The Rx System’s Glycolic Peel (provided in salons) is used on the face and neck, avoiding the eye area and re-applied to specific areas of damage. The Glycolic Peel produces a deeper skin exfoliation, which intensifies the penetration and clinical effects of the antioxidants and enzymes in the Enzyme Complex Peel.

Neutralize

After the Peel is applied, Rx System’s Neutralizer is generously sprayed on the face to neutralize the glycolic acid peel and adjust the pH of the skin to enhance the effect of the enzyme complex peel.

Prep

To prepare for the next step, Rx System’s Neutralizer is applied a second time, raising the pH of the skin. At this point, moistened gauze is placed on top of the wet skin.

Enzyme Complex

Rx System’s Enzyme Complex Treatment (provided in salons) is spread over the gauze, including the upper lip and around the eyes completely covering the face and neck. The Enzyme Complex is a blend of natural proteases and lipases in high concentration mimicking normal epidermal enzymes, restoring normal epidermal enzyme activity and enhancing normal skin exfoliation and skin cell growth.

Mask

Rx System’s Rejuvenating Facial Firming Mask is applied to the face, neck and eye area including the upper lip and around the eyes. This Mask is scientifically advanced with natural soluble collagen and glycoproteins in a proprietary aloe vera, fragrance-free base. It provides the ultimate firming benefits to improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Lip Gel/Eye Gel

Rx System’s Reparative Lip Gel goes on and around the lips and Rx System’s Reparative Eye Gel is used on the brow bone, crow’s feet and under the eye. Both products penetrate deep into the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Hydrate/Protect

To finish the process, Rx System’s Maximum Strength Moisturizer is put on the face, neck and eye area, allowing it to penetrate before applying Rx System’s Facial Moisturizer SPF 35. The moisturizer will return the skin’s pH level to normal, stop the enzyme reaction and restore the moisture content of the skin.

Our process can be used in various combinations to take advantage of the synergistic effects of their scientifically advanced ingredients and clinical benefits. Your skin is the first line of defense against the aging process. This non-surgical facelift, used regularly, can provide immediate improvement and have you looking fabulous.
