Alluria Skin Care Offers a Significant Advance in Eye Skincare

Alluria Skin Care, Inc. announced plans to introduce the Obagi ELASTIderm Eye Cream, a novel eye-therapy product clinically proven to help the natural abilities of skin to produce insoluble elastin, decrease the number of wrinkles and increase functional elasticity of the skin.

“A significant number of people in our community are actively seeking strategies to reduce lines, wrinkles and other effects of aging on the skin,” said Alluria Skin Care Founder Gigi Schlueter, a lifelong resident of La Canada. “Unfortunately, when in comes to the fine areas around the eyes, almost all of the products on the market today do little more than add some moisturizing ingredients which only reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles for a few hours.”

Schlueter went on to state that “on their own, even the more expensive high tech treatments such as laser, IPL and similar treatments simply cannot treat the per orbital lines around the eye.

“Many anti-aging products and treatments claim to build collagen, but without restoring elastin, your face will still lack the support it needs for firm, youthful-looking skin.”

According to Schlueter, ELASTIderm is a relatively inexpensive product that utilizes a patent-pending bi-mineral complex technology with malonic acid to offer a superior approach to anti-aging treatment without the use of line-plumping moisturizers.

Schlueter said that Obagi ELASTIderm is a revolutionary skin cream that helps your skin replenish both elastin and collagen. Elastin is a protein in your skin that holds it firmly in place.

“In fact,” said Schlueter, “it is the loss of elastin that is directly related to the formation of wrinkles. Thus, on its own, ELASTIderm is highly effective. However, when combined with such technologies as laser or IPL photo-rejuvenation on other areas of the face, the results can be very dramatic.

“Clinical studies on ELASTIderm have demonstrated a statistically significant 46% increase in functional elasticity after nine weeks of use. The Obagi group has formulated this novel, bi-mineral complex that works to replenish and cross link elastin to support collagen and give skin functional elasticity; the scientific data revealed the patent-pending complex was effective in improving the elasticity of photo-aged skin and visibly reducing the lines small lines around the eyes.

The scientific studies revealed that a significant increase in elasticity was achieved within only two weeks and elasticity continued to increase over an eight-week period.

Schlueter emphasized that the increase in elasticity was independent of moisturization, indicating the effects of the bi-mineral complex were not simply the consequence of increased hydration.

“We are excited to be offering our community such an efficacious technology in the treatment of small lines and wrinkles around the eyes.” said Schlueter.

ELASTIderm is a prescription strength aesthetic treatment that is only available only through a licensed healthcare practitioner. More research data on ELASTIderm including before and after pictures can be found at Alluria’s Web Site at www.alluriaskincare.com.
