Cellulite Rx  Frequently Asked Questions

When should I  expect to see results?

After using CelluliteRx ™ for 8 weeks, how do I maintain my results?
To maintain your results, use CelluliteRx ™ products 2 to 3 times per week.

Why does  CelluliteRx ™ make my skin rosy to red where applied?
The product is formulated to increase circulation that stimulates tissue  drainage and fat burning. The flush will last approximately 15 to 30  minutes. You may also feel tingling and a mild itching and/or warmth  indicating that the ingredients are penetrating. These sensations are to be  expected and are normal. You are not experiencing an allergic reaction.

What are the  benefits of the wild yam extract in the CelluliteRx ™ formula?
Cellulite is a condition in females induced by the hormone estrogen.  Estrogen stimulates the formation of new adipocytes (fat cells) while  stimulating collagenase or the destruction of collagen. Natural wild yam  extract helps to remedy these estrogen related causes of cellulite in  women.

Q. How do I get rid of my acne?

Q. How do I get rid of my acne?

Your first line of defense is knowledge. If you know and understand your skin you will be better equipped to fight acne.

Clogged pores are what cause blackheads. If you have oily skin and a tendency towards blackheads you won't be able to completely avoid them, but you can help yourself a lot in keeping your skin clear by following a good cleansing routine.

Using skin care products that have been created for treating blackheads is your best tactic. A simple Glycolic and or Salicylic Acid solution applied twice daily to control oil and prevent the accumulation of dead skin cells that create the blockage at the mouth of the pore opening is your first step on the road to prevention.

If you have a severe case of blackheads, don't think twice -- go to a professional and have your skin properly treated with a deep pore cleansing treatment. If you suffer from mild to severe acne, (blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and pustules) finding the right products and treatments may take some time and patience.

The comedone (small closed pore blackhead) is the first sign of inflammatory acne (papules, pustules and cysts). Untreated this condition could lead to a serious acne condition, so we recommend you get started on the road to prevention! Seeking the help and advice of a professional (whether it be a dermatologist or a clinically trained esthetician) is always a good thing to do. At Institut’ DERMed we are always available for a complimentary consultation and complete skin analysis to help educate you about your skins condition

What are Enzymes? What do they contribute?

Amazing Enzymes
Charlotte, Institut' DERMed

Enzymes help regulate the processes our bodies need to function.  Although our bodies produce enzymes, we can sometimes lack the necessary enzymes for breaking down molecules which is why enzyme-rich foods and supplements are so popular.  Enzymes are naturally derived from plants, animals and marine life.

The use of enzymes for cosmetic purposes dates back hundreds of years.  Enzymes break down and dissolve proteins and are an excellent exfoliator.  Plant enzymes, such as those found in papaya and pumpkin, soften and break down dead skin enough for it to be removed.  After an enzyme peel treatment the skin feels and looks smooth and radiant.

Enzyme treatments are particularly good for people with acne, but a herbal enzyme peel treatment is also an excellent choice for someone with sensitive skin who still needs a good exfoliation.  Because enzymes also help collagen production they are a very popular choice for people desiring aging skin prevention.

Enzymes are only active when they are moist.  While some take home products come moist in a container (such as Institut’ DERMed’s enzyme peeling cream) most professional strength enzymes are in a powder form that is then mixed with an activator at the time of a treatment. This is to maximize the effect of the enzyme as much as possible. Applying steam during the treatment will also cause the enzyme to stay active longer and penetrate deeper. Once an enzyme application becomes dry it is no longer effective. 

Enzymes can be combined with acids for an intensive treatment, but this is truly best left to professionals.  To prolong professional results, an at home weekly enzyme peel with a low concentration enzyme will accelerate the turnover of old skin cells and stimulate the growth of new ones keeping skin looking fresh and radiant. 

Enzymes can: digest impurities, exfoliate, refine, soothe, lighten, refresh, promote new cell growth, assist collagen production, reduce hyper-pigmentation, reduce fine lines, improve skin tone and texture and plump up skin. Now that’s amazing

Detox: Reclaim your Healthy Glow

Jeri Ross, MPH
Institut’ DERMed Health Educator

Have you tried a simple detox plan yet?  Following some basic body cleansing techniques with modifications in eating habits can improve your skin tone, reduce cellulite, slim the body and give you vitality and mental clarity.   

Detoxification doesn’t have to be a big deal. You don’t have to fast or take time off work to realize health and beauty benefits.  Of course you can take your cleanse to more serious levels, but the main thing is to make the decision and get started.  A short detoxifying program is generally safe; in fact, scientific studies show that a detox is beneficial for health.

Detoxifying is not recommended for nursing mothers, children, and patients with chronic degenerative diseases, cancer or tuberculosis. Consult your health care practitioner if you have questions about whether detoxing is right for you.
