Letter from ROSEANNE Happy 2011! It seems amazing to type in the year! I remember as a child thinking that this decade would have us in flying cars and teleporting! Ironically enough, I find myself seeking out less and less technological means to connection with others and living my best life.

Others seem to be embracing this “back to the basics” thinking as I sense a predominant shift in attitudes and thinking about wellness and beauty. The drive to look like we are still in our twenties has changed to a desire to look our best for the age that we are now. I love this!

Gone is the pressure to go to drastic, surgical measures to feel good about ourselves. In its place is a movement toward maintaining our fitness, nutrition, sleep and life balance needs. Our beauty regimens are now oriented to regular services for skin, body and nails and effective home care. There are also new choices available at the physician’s office to address some of our more stubborn issues that are much less dramatic.

I wish health, peace and prosperity to everyone in our Body Serene community. In this issue of SERENE Magazine we discuss services, products and ingredients for a year of true beauty customized just for you!

Roseanne Klementisz is the owner of The Body Serene.

Located in the heart of Skippack Village, The Body Serene is one of area’s finest day spas.

CELL SCIENCE® CELL PROTECTION BALM “Fighting the flu isn’t the only concern during the winter season. A myriad of problem skin conditions arise as the cold weather sets in, including extreme dryness, irritation, dullness, winter rash, deeper appearing wrinkles, sensitivities to the cold, breakouts, blisters, freeze burns, central heating dehydration, chapped lips, under eye dehydration and cold sores…just to name a few!”

“Winter definitely takes a toll on our skin as the stratum corneum becomes stiff and unresponsive to conventional skin care treatments. The good news is GlyMed Plus® has the miracle product that REALLY WORKS for all problem skin conditions during the winter–Cell Science® CELL PROTECTION BALM” “This light, multi-purpose skin product has a powerful healing formula that protects, calms, heals, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, hydrates and restores the skin back to a normal state. I can’t tell you the brand name, but there is an expensive cream sold through Neiman Marcus that sells for $1500.00 a jar that cannot do what CELL PROTECTION BALM can do!”

SERENE article

I

n the spirit of investigating less severe avenues to looking our best, we have asked Dr. Jennifer Dupré to explain the non surgical options available to us at the doctor’s office. Here is what she had to tell us: SM: Welcome back Dr. Dupré. We would love to learn more about wrinkles. Could you please explain to us how they develop?

JD: T hank you Roseanne. Wrinkles occur in both men and women due to a combination of factors. These factors include collagen depletion, hormone loss, damaging free radicals and cellular changes.

SM: Where do they predominately occur in the face?

JD: W rinkles can occur between the brows, in the forehead and around the lips. After years of frowning, the wrinkles can remain even after the muscles are at rest.

SM: What is Botox and where can it be used?

JD: B otox is a prescription medication that is injected by a healthcare professional in the area between the brows.

We commonly refer to these wrinkles as the “11s”. It works by blocking nerve impulses and as a result relaxes muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to relax between the brows.

SM: How long do the effects of Botox last?

JD: V isible results can last up to four months. If treatment is discontinued, the lines between the brows will gradually return to the way they looked before treatment.

SERENE MAGAZINE :: WINTER 2011 6

SM: Will you still be able to make facial expressions?

JD: Y es. You will be able to see visible results but won’t make you look as if you’ve “had work done.” You will still be able to frown and look surprised.

SM: What are potential side effects?

JD: S ide effects are rare but include discomfort, redness or swelling at the injection site, headache, or droopiness of the eyelid. All side effects are short lived and can be addressed with the healthcare provider.

SM: What are collagen fillers?

JD: C ollage fillers include Juvederm and Restylane. They are hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Injectable fillers smooth away wrinkles around your mouth and nose and restore natural contours.

SM: What is hyaluronic acid?

JD: H yaluronic acid is a naturally hydrating substance in young healthy skin. As you age, sunlight and other factors reduce the amount of hyaluronic acid in your skin. This loss causes your skin to lose structure and volume, resulting in wrinkles and folds along the nose and mouth.

SM: How long do effects last?

JD: J uvederm is the only FDA filler approved to last up to one year after one treatment.

Restylane typically lasts 18 months, requiring one additional treatment at 4.5 or 9 months.

“Wrinkles occur in both men and women due to collagen depletion, hormone loss, damaging free radicals and cellular changes.”

SM: How soon do you see results?

JD: You will see results immediately after the injection.

SM: Is it comfortable?

JD: J uvederm is now formulated with lidocaine, a common anesthetic used to improve the comfort of treatement. Icing before and after the injection also reduces the swelling and any potential bruising.

SM: Is it safe for different skin types?

JD: J uvederm is also FDA approved for persons of color and studies show no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or scarring.

SM: Are there any side effects associated with dermal fillers?

JD: S ide effects include temporary pain, tenderness, redness and swelling in the injection site. Side effects typically resolve in less than seven days.

SM: Where can our clients obtain Botox and collagen fillers?

JD: Y our clients are more than welcome to visit our office for Botox and Juvederm. The Welcare Center is a licensed, primary care medical practice with a specialty in medical aesthetics. We are conveniently located in Spring House and would love the opportunity to sit down and discuss options to make you look younger and healthier for the New Year!

Dr. Jennifer Dupré, is the founder of the Welcare Center and serves as its chief physician.

Dr. Dupré graduated magna cum laude from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA. After earning her medical degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey–School of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Dupré completed a rotating internship at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, NY, and a residency in family medicine at the Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network in Allentown.

Dr. Dupré and her husband, Jayson, an internist at the Welcare Center, reside in Skippack with their four daughters and their yellow Labrador retriever, Maggie.
