Clear Up Skincare Program

What a great program! It helps to raise the self-esteem of adolescents and solve their acne issues at the same time. The teen years are tough enough, and then throwing acne into the mix just makes it worse. Read about Clear Up Skincare and give them a round of applause. They also accept donations, as it is a not-for-profit program.

VI Peel

There's a new treatment called the Vi Peel for minimizing wrinkles and acne scars. It was developed by Dr. A.F Kalil.
What happens is that a doctor, nurse or esthetician will swab a solution on to the skin with a cotton ball which should stay on for awhile before you wash it off. After 3 days, the skin will start to shed.

It conquers skin issues at the cellular level instead of burning the skin off. The many acids and vitamins in it will help erase fine lines and wrinkles, shrink pores and build collagen and elastin.

The treatment typically costs between $300 - $400. An alternative for those who want a virtually painless skin care treatment with very little recovery time.

Accutane and Acne Issues. Wow, just saw a story about Hans Peterson's adventure with Accutane. He murdered the doctor who prescribed it to him and then fled to St. Maarten to be under the protection of France.
There's no reason for issues with Acne to be that complicated! Check out this page on solving acne problems.
