Derms are excited about the DermaCeutic Spot Peel. Popular in the Middle East, it's gaining ground stateside. "For the first time we have a spot peel that has a unique combination of ingredients from which we get high efficacy, no downtime and no side effects," explains New York City dermatologist Bruce Katz, M.D. The peel, which is left on the face for 2 minutes, contains alpha and beta hydroxy acids, mandelic acid and idebenone, one of the most powerful antioxidants for neutralizing the damaging effects of free radicals. Following initial application, patients keep a solution on for eight hours. "It's the kind of multi-modal approach that really gives a lot more benefits than a single-ingredient peel," says Katz. Another benefit: You can save money in the long run. Other peels usually take four to six sessions before a patient sees a significant difference. At $300 to $400 for the DermaCeutic treatment, which may require just one peel session at the doctor's office, followed by a 30-day at-home regimen that includes a spot treatment (at one third the strength of the in-office version), cleansers and moisturizers. "Because the ingredients aren't harsh and are in low concentrations, the peel is ideal for skin of color," adds Katz.

Look Younger Instantly: The Blood Wrinkle Filler
Called, 'the vampire face-lift,' this new warrior on the anti-aging front involves injecting your own blood into lines and wrinkles. It may sound scary, but derms say, it works. Find out the lowdown from Bruce Katz, M.D. director of the JUVA Skin & Laser Center in New York City.
Let's face it, the plumper the skin is, the less likely you are to notice fine lines and wrinkles - skin's biggest nemesis. Well, if you're looking for a solution to turn back the clock without much invasion, Selphyl is the newest, hottest treatment on the market.
"Selphyl involves drawing blood from the arm and spinning it in a centrifuge to extract the platelets," says Dr. Katz. "The platelets are then injected into your face in wrinkle-prone areas." You can use it anywhere you have lines and wrinkles - under your eyes, the neck, cheeks, etc. "It's safer than other injectables because you're less likely to have a reaction to your own blood, "says Dr. Katz.
The treatment fills in lines, rejuvenates the skin, improves texture and stimulates new collagen production. The results can last over a year, with treatments averaging $900 - $1500.

As the weather heats up, you need to start thinking about how prevent the dangerous rays of the sun from harming your skin and it doesn’t matter if yo
Top dermatologists tell you why using a greater SPF in the warmer months is a great way to protect your skin, despite your indoor office job in the cool airconditioning. If you’re looking for a moisturizer with SPF for every day, shop our product picks!
SPF is the first thing to consider, according to dermatologist and global skin care expert Dr. Zein Obagi.
“Warmer weather typically means summer is coming. Thus, your chances of more intense exposure to ultraviolet light are much greater. You should definitely increase your sun protection factor from SPF 15 to SPF 30 in warmer weather,” says Dr. Obagi.
Not outside during the day in the summer? You may not get a sunburn, but your skin will definitely start to show signs of aging.
“Seventy percent of all UV damage is from casual exposure, getting unintended sun on your skin. UV radiation from the sun comes right through the clouds, not to mention directly through an office or car window. The odds of getting sunburn are slight, as the UVB (burning) rays are short and will not have a direct affect on the skin. However, the UVA (aging) rays are very long and penetrate deep into the lower layers of the skin, where new skin cells, collagen and elastin are formed. The latent damage of these aging rays typically appear later in life,” explains Dr. Obagi.
Using a moisturizer with SPF is a great way to add another layer of protection to your skincare routine and add to the protection in your daily sunscreen.
NYC dermatologist Dr. Bruce Katz wants people to remember that while moisturizers with SPF are great, it’s “best to use a sunscreen” for protection and you need to hit at least SPF 30 all year round.
If your skin is acne-prone or sensitive and you prefer a facial moisturizer with an SPF of 30 or high, shop our favorites and make sure to coat any exposed skin with sunscreen whether you work indoors or out!

Jennifer Aniston On Her Simple Skincare Secret & Hidden Career Passion
Jen has gorgeous skin and the secret to her clear complexion costs just $2.49!
Jennifer Aniston tells the March issue of InStyle magazine that she has used the Neutrogena Facial Cleansing Bar “since I was a teen.” She’s so down-to-earth! Jen is very into skincare, even admitting that if she wasn’t an actress, she would like to be a dermatologist!
“I’m fascinated by skin, products, and lasers. I go on the Internet and read all about it. I call it ‘laser porn,’” says Jen.
It sounds like she could use a lesson in lasers from Dr. Bruce Katz on the non-surgical facelift that uses lasers instead of scalpels to sculpt the skin.

Get Madonna’s Non-Surgical Facelift Now
If you want to look as young as Madonna did on the Super Bowl, even if you’re 53 (like she is), then you can get her gorgeous skin without undergoing the knife. Here’s how.
Whether you loved or loathed Madonna’s totally talked about Super Bowl performance, you have to admit that she and her skin looked stunningly ageless.
But that wasn’t always the case. Just a couple of years ago, the Material Girl was looking less than youthful. Darker circles were forming under her eyes, her cheeks were starting to sag and her pallor was getting ashen. Madonna looked tired.
So how did Madonna kick 53 in the face, literally, and look as fresh as a daisy at the Super Bowl?
The word among top NYC dermatologists is that Madonna’s youthful look is NOT the result of a traditional facelift. Instead, the superstar has undergone treatments with a Smartxide DOT CO2 laser, believes top NYC dermatologist, Dr. Bruce Katz.
“It gives a better result than a surgical facelift,” says Dr. Katz, “because you never get that tightened deer in the headlights look .”
“When you have laser treatments you CAN’T end up looking different — the treatments can only take you back to what you used to look like, whereas surgery can change the way you look,” explains Dr. Katz.
In Madonna’s case, he believes she has successfully had a series of four to six laser treatments with excellent results.
“She has the ideal woman’s eyes — no dark circles or crow’s feet, elevated eyebrows with nice arches and she has smooth light skin,” says Dr. Katz. “No woman her age could look like this without doing anything.”
The great thing is that you can also get the same laser treatments as Madonna.
So how does the laser work to drop years off your face or neck?
“It drills microscopic holes in the skin and vaporizes the skin’s damaged collagen which is responsible for wrinkling, loose skin, dark spots and lines,” explains Dr. Katz. “The laser also stimulates new collagen production which fills the channels drilled in your face and fills in your lines and wrinkles, as well as tightening the skin, says Dr. Katz, who has had highly successful results with many patients.
The side effects are fairly minimal. You’ll be red and puffy for a couple of days, so it’s best to have the treatments on a Friday afternoon so you look perfect again by Monday.
“The only thing is that you won’t see the full results of the treatments for three to six months. “It takes that amount of time for the collagen to come in and as it matures, it tightens the skin,” explains Dr. Katz, ”but you will see results after two to three sessions.”
Other benefits of the laser non-surgical facelift — the improvement in your face will be gradual so no one will notice that you’ve had work done, and once the new collagen comes in, it can literally take 15 to 20 years off your age and last up to five years — in which case you can do it again.
Most people require 4 to 6 session to get the best results and treatments cost about $975 per treatment, but that’s still far less than the typical $15,000 – $18,000 for a traditional facelift.
Now, I can tell you that I’ve tried the laser treatments and I can totally notice the results. I literally have no crow’s feet now, almost no lines under my eyes and my skin has never looked better or smoother, and I’m 55. So I am not surprised that Madonna has chosen this refreshing route.
If you want to try laser treatments, you need to find a doctor like Dr. Katz, who specializes in laser treatments and is Director of Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Clinic at Mt. Sinai Medical Center and Director of Juva Skin & Laser Center in NYC.
And once you have had the Madonna laser lift, then you must stay out of the sun so you don’t damage your skin again. You must wear an SPF 15 everyday and an SPF 30 sunscreen containing either zinc oxide, titanium dioxide or avobenzone, to protect your skin if you go into the sun.
“Protecting your skin from the sun is the best anti-aging treatment you can continue to do,” insists Dr. Katz.
In any case, if you want to look ageless like Madonna, you now have her secret!

Keep Your Skin Looking Young Forever Like J-Lo!
If you want eternally-young looking skin, you need to try two new anti-aging products that REALLY work, plus use sunscreen, explains top NYC dermatologist, Dr. Bruce Katz.
Here’s the great news if you want to have the kind of young-looking skin that star like J-Lo, 42, Jennifer Aniston, 42, and Halle Berry, 45, have no matter how old they get. You can have it too!
“Using a sunscreen on your face everyday with an SPF of 15, or SPF 30 if you’re going to be out in the sun, is the BEST anti-aging tactic you can do,” says Dr. Bruce Katz, from Juva Skin & Laser Center in NYC.
“Just make sure your sunscreen includes one of these three ingredients: zinc oxide, titanium dioxide or avobenzone. So check the ingredient list.
Then you should start your own daily anti-aging regime. Dr. Katz recommends that you to use a green tea extract face moisturizer or serum after washing in the morning.
“Green tea extract has been proven to be 80 times more effective as an anti-oxidant than vitamin C, another popular anti-oxidant,” he explains. Studies now show this, he says.
Anti-oxidants actually neutralize “free radicals” which are “unmatched” electrons in your skin. The unmatched electrons disrupt and break down cells. The anti-oxidants in green tea extract neutralize the electrons and prevent them from damaging your healthy cells, he explains.
Dr. Katz suggests his Juva Spa Green Tea Triple Antioxidant Cream, but you can also look for other green tea moisturizers in pharmacies on online like Proactive’s Green Tea Moisturizer, Alba’s Aloe & Green Tea Oil-Free Moisturizer and H2O’s Green Tea Antioxidant Face Complex.
Then your next step is to use a moisturizer by Neocutis at night after washing. The Neocutis product contains growth factors which again have been shown in clinical studies to slow down the aging of skin cells.
The key is to “use different agents that work differently to slow down the aging of the skin,” says Dr. Katz.
Sounds doable. So you too can have skin as youthful as top Hollywood stars no matter what your age!

How To Protect Protect Your Skin From Winter Sun Damage
When my doctor recommended I soak up some sun after discovering my vitamin D levels were dangerously low, I thought to myself: Am I slathering on too much sunscreen?
I'll admit that I've become quite obsessive about skin cancer prevention after meeting a twenty-something melanoma survivor last winter. But I wasn't about to skimp out on my sunscreen because this season has fewer patches of sunshine.
"Don't be misled by the dropping temperature," warns Dr. Bruce E. Katz, director of the JUVA Skin & Laser Center in New York. "The sun's harmful rays are just as strong and damaging despite what your thermometer says -- particularly the UVA rays which are responsible for aging skin. UVA radiation reaches deeper into skin and contributes to wrinkles and skin cancer risk. Nearly all (95 percent) of the UV radiation that we are exposed to is UVA."
Dr. Alex A. Khadavi, founder of Advanced Skin & Hair adds, "Reflection of radiation from snow requires aggressive sunscreen protection, maybe even more than summertime as individuals participate in snow activities like skiing and snowboarding. Almost 80 percent of UV radiation is reflected from snow while only 25 percent from sand."
Reconsider physical sunscreen. While this type of sunblock--which contains Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide--may be messy to apply, it offers the best year-round protection. "They provide better broad spectrum coverage as compared to chemical-based sunscreen which are usually either UVB or UVA blockers," says Dr. Khadavi. "Additionally, physical blockers work for a longer period of time giving longer coverage requiring less re-application. They are also less irritating than chemical blockers."
Beware of sunsreen's archenemy: sweat. "Many think that simply applying your daily SPF moisturizer once in the morning is sufficient for a day's worth of coverage. If you are outdoors and bundled up your skin still sweats and SPF needs to be reapplied throughout the day." says Dr. Katz. Continuously smooth on a naturally healing and moisturizing sunblock with a minimum of SPF 30, making sure that it has fully absorbed into skin.
Those may not be just any old spots. "Freckles, age spots, spider veins on the face, rough and leathery skin, fine wrinkles that disappear when stretched, loose skin, a blotchy complexion, and actinic keratoses (thick wartlike, rough, reddish patches of skin) can all be traced to sun exposure. The sun also attacks the skin's elastin, weakening the skin from springing back, and causing wrinkled and leathery skin," says Dr. Katz. "During the winter, look out for any rough, red skin, an increase in moles and broken blood vessels on teh face to detect sun damage. Also be aware any cuts or bruises on your skin that are not healing as this may be an early sign of skin cancer."
Protect your pucker. Windburn lips can be a pain, but to prevent this apply a petroleum-infused lip balm with SPF.
Enhance your sun protection with the right foods. "In general, fruits and vegetables are foods high in antioxidants and help us fight free radicals and sun damage, while foods such as meat, dairy products, simple carbohydrates, sugar and processed foods cause inflammation and can contribute to making sun damage worse," says Dr. Katz.
According to Dr. Khadavi, foods like leafy greens, peppers, squash, watermelon, blueberries and tomatoes that rich in vitamin C and the antioxidants caroteniods and lycopenes can help prevent sun damage.

Botox Stripped Down: New Injectable Xeomin Hits Shelves
NEW YORK, Oct, 18, 2011/ PRNewswire via COMTEX/--The JUVA Skin & Laser Center, New York's premier destination for the most advanced skin and laser treatments, will be among the first 100 dermatology offices in the US to receive Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) for cosmetic use beginning October 2011.
Xeomin, a Merz Aesthetics product, is being referred to as the "naked injectable" by physicians because it does not contain any additives or complex proteins. The benefit of this, according to Dr. Bruce Katz, Clinical Professor of Dermatology at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Director of the JUVA Skin & Laser Center in New York, is that the body is less likely to have an adverse reaction to the treatment than with Botox. Side effects and efficacy are expected to be similar to other botulinum toxin products.
"We are thrilled to have another highly effective botulinum toxin available to treat frown lines - which is still one of the most commonly treated areas here at JUVA, "said Dr. Bruce Katz. "By being selected to offer this cutting edge product to our clients as early as possible the JUVA Skin & Laser Center is once again at the forefront of the latest advancements in skin treatment. We expect that the availability of Xeomin will offer even more safety assurance to patients opting for this type of an injectable treatment and ultimately create some friendly price competition among its competitors."
Xeomin was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in July for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabeller lines, more commonly known as frown lines between the eyebrows, in adult patients. This approval was based on two clinical trials that found that Xeomin significantly improved the appearance of glabellar lines 30 days following the first injection.
Xeomin will be available in dermatology offices around the United States in the spring of 2012; however, JUVA Skin & Laser Center will be offering the treatment as early as October 2011. It is also approved for the improvement of glabellar lines in 14 countries in Europe under the brand name Bocouture.

Sandra Bullock showed up to support her BFF Ryan Reynolds at 'The Change Up' premiere and ended up stealing the show!
The HOT mama puts fellow women of her age to shame. She is 47! Sandra Bullock has been one of the hottest women in Hollywood for almost two decades now, but I think she is getting better with age. Walking the red carpet on Ryan Reynold's arm on August 1, Sandra glowed. We spoke with world renowned dermatologist Dr. Bruce Katz, from Juva Skin & Laser Center in NYC, who gave us his insight onto what Sandra may be doing to keep her skin looking so youthful.
"She definitely get's some Botox in her forehead, probably both on her frontal and horizontal lines. However, it does not look she has any around her eyes since there are still some lines - this keeps her looking natural. She also probably gets fractional lasers which helps to keep the skin tight. It is also possible that she gets fillers around her laugh lines and cheeks, such as Radieese or Juvederm," explains Dr. Katz.
