VitaMedica Vitamins

VitaMedica was founded by a physician who recognized that patients want a health care professional to work with them to devise a personal plan for health and wellness. VitaMedica utilizes nutraceuticals, combinations of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, to provide support for surgery, healing, wellness, and age management.

The surgery supplements created by VitaMedica allow patients to be proactive in their healing process. In this day and age, we are greatly affected by time and feel pressure to speed up the recovery process after surgery. VitaMedica offers comprehensive program kits and individual supplements that are designed to help speed up the recovery process. Each product is tailored to meet the varying needs of different surgical patients, and the easy-to-use products ensure compliance and excellent results.

Surgery patients also benefit from the optimal nutrition provided by the surgery supplements. Although many patients take nutritional supplements in increasing amounts, their use around the time of surgery is not always desirable. VitaMedica’s surgery supplements have been specially formulated to eliminate any nutrients that may have an adverse effect and provide nutrients essential to internal wound care by enhancing the body’s natural mechanisms for repair and healing.

VitaMedica’s age management supplements actively manage the aging process. These supplements aid in extending a patients “health span” – the number of healthy years that one can expect to live. The age management nutraceuticals are specifically formulated to maintain health, wellness, and beauty. There are also supplements targeted to specific skin issues, such as acne, and aging of the skin as a result of free radical damage.

What are free radicals?

Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms with an odd (unpaired) number of electrons. They can be formed when oxygen interacts with certain molecules. After they are formed, these highly reactive radicals can elicit a chain reaction, similar to falling dominoes. When they react with important cellular components, like DNA, or the cell membrane, they may damage them and cause the cells to function poorly or die. However, our bodies have a defense mechanism, known as antioxidants, to minimize or eliminate free radicals from damaging healthy cells.

Antioxidants can safely interact with free radicals and stop the chain reaction before vital molecules are damaged. While our bodies have a number of enzyme systems that scavenge free radicals, the principle vitamin antioxidants are vitamin E, beta-carotene, and vitamin C. Another member of this group is Selenium, a trace metal that is required for proper function of one of the body’s antioxidant enzyme systems. Unfortunately, the body cannot manufacture these micronutrients so they must be supplied in the diet.

VitaMedica products help replenish the body’s supply of micronutrients, essential to cellular health. If you are interested in VitaMedica products or have any questions regarding skin health and wellness, please call us at (781) 331-3222 or use our contact page. Our medical estheticians are happy to help you design a skin healthy regimen perfect for you, so call and make an appointment today!

Summer in New England

Filed under: Skin Care Products, Obagi, Wrinkle Cream, Medical Esthetician, Therapeutic Facials, Boston Plastic Surgery, Jane Iredale, Esthetician, Medical Skin Care — dan July 28, 2007 @ 8:02 am

Four things to remember in avoiding the sun’s harmful rays:

1. Wear Sunblock
2. Stay out of the sun when it is most harmful - between 10 am and 4 pm
3. Check the UV index each day and be especially careful outdoors on higher numbered days
4. Remember that beach sand, water and snow reflect the sun’s rays and increase radiation. Clouds only block about 20% of UV radiation, and being in the water does not offer protection since UV radiation can pass right through it.

The summer season inevitably brings trips to the beach, lying by the pool, working in the garden, riding bikes, and walking the dog. We need to remember the dangers of exposure to the sun without skin protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Telling patients to stay out of the sun is often advice not heeded, especially after a long, cold, New England winter. Wearing a hat and long sleeved clothing is also not always possible or desired. The use of sunblocks is a great and an effective compromise.

Most people have a basic understanding of sun protection factors (SPF). These provide a measurement of the UVB sunlight needed to produce redness on sunscreen product-protected skin as compared to unprotected skin. Higher SPF numbers are better. Newer to the market are sunblocks which block UV radiation of the skin by reflecting the rays, not allowing absorption. These physical blockers include titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.

Since the effects of sunlight on the skin include premature skin aging, skin cancer, and other skin disorders, we recommend using skin care products which contain sunblocks. These can be found in the makeup, skin care products, and sunblocks which we carry. By adding sunblocks to your daily skin care regimen, you protect your skin, keep its appearance more youthful, and avoid exposure to cancer-causing UV radiation.

Boston Plastic Surgery carries a full range of medical-grade skin care products, including Allergan, Avene, Boiron, Glytone, Kinerase, Neostrata, Nia24, Obagi, Person & Covey, and Vitamedica, plus Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup. Many of these products incorporate the sunblock components of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, thus providing the best protection available against UV rays. We also carry sunless tanning products in liquid and pad-infused forms, to help you get that healthy glow without subjecting your skin to sun damage.

If you are careful and safe when out in the sun, you will look beautiful for years to come.
