Don't Doctors Rodan and Fields look great?  They practice what they preach (and create) obviously.  I believe they are both in their 60's. But they sure don't look it.  The Senior Beauty Editor from Allure went to Corporate Headquarters in San Francisco to learn about Active Hydration Serum(AHS), their latest anti-aging product as shown in today's video.  I wish they had continued the interview, so that you could learn more about it.  
But you can learn more now by reading my blog active-hydration-serum-by-dr-katie-rodan-dr-kathy-fields and watching the lead researcher at Corporate provide more-education-on-glycerin-in-active-hydration-serum-by-dr-tim-falla. Finally, read why i-love-ahs-active-hydration-serum-by-doctors-rodan-fields. 
For the best results, use AHS in combination with one of the clinically proven regimens as described in the today's video.

Drs. Rodan + Fields have developed the AMP MD Roller to help firm both facial and neck skin as well as for use on deep wrinkles.  It is used in the privacy of your own bathroom.  This patent-pending hand held device is used in conjunction with Rodan + Fields premium skin care regimens for enhanced results.  The roller has tiny needles to stimulate the collagen production in the layers of the skin.  It is simple and quick to use as part of your nightly skin routine. The roller is not motorized nor does it require batteries or electric.  It is clinically proven to lead to a more youthful-looking appearance with routine use. After rolling the skin, it is recommended you apply REDEFINE Night Renewing Serum capsules.  The system comes with the roller and a jar of 60 blue capsules.  Each little blue capsule contains a potent serum filled with time-release PEPTIDES and over the counter strength RETINOL.
In my blog, what-is-a-peptide, I explain that Peptides have healing effects and lead to diminished wrinkles and increase the skin firmness.   
What is RETINOL?  Retinol is Vitamin A.  Vitamin A is an antioxidant, and basically reverses skin damage by signaling the cells to behave like healthy cells. Vitamin A, in the form of RETINOL, is a commonly used cosmetic ingredient in skin care products because it is so effective. Retinol helps shed dead skin to visibly improve skin texture and minimize the appearance of pores. Retinol increases collagen production making the skin look plumper and wrinkle lines smoother.
In some individuals with very sensitive skin, retinol can cause irritation and redness, but it is usually worse with prescription strength doses.  
After rolling with the AMP MD Roller, followed with the application of the retinol in the blue capsule, called REDEFINE Night Renewing Serum, your skin feels so smooth and the serum works while you sleep for the night.
I absolutely love this little tool and the RETINOL capsules.  Plus, the Docs thought of everything by including the reusable cleansing vial and a 2 month supply of purification tablets for infection control purposes to clean your roller.  
Please watch Dr. Tim Falla and Nurse Mary in the u-tubes with this article to learn more.  Each u tube is about 2 minutes but is packed with excellent pictures and information.

Have you heard of the term in the beauty industry of "11's"?  The official medical term for this is called nasoglabellar furrows. The term refers to the area on your forehead between the eyebrows that produces two side by side furrows, when people frown or scowl. After years and years, the furrows can become permanent. The furrows can develop in rather young adults who scowl a lot. And of course, this can be concerning to the young adult.
Not everyone gets "11's". Some people have a "1" or part of a "1".  Some other individuals get one hundred eleven --"111" --three furrows.  And the extreme scowler will hit the one thousand, one hundred eleven mark---"1111"--with four furrows between the brows!
There are injection treatments of the furrows, like Botox and Fillers.  I am not going to give you all the possible complications of such options, because if you read on every rare complication, no one would ever do it.  I am surprised how readily people say they are going to get a Botox injection.  The main complications are pain, bleeding, bruising, redness, swelling, and tenderness.  Injected fillers can ball up in one area, leaving a bump under the skin.  So if you plan on doing these options, go to a Board Certified provider and make sure he/she reviews all the complications, and lets you know how long the injection will last.  Most of the complications can be addressed, but be an informed consumer.
I have never gotten a Botox injection or any fillers, so I cannot give you personal experience on it.  But I can give you the alternatives that I use, developed by Doctors Rodan and Fields, Stanford trained cosmetic dermatologists.  
First, there is the basic anti-aging skin care regimen, called REDEFINE, that battles aging.  Used with consistency, it battles fine wrinkles and sagging skin.  It can definitely be a good base to treat the 11's.  
But patients want more for these stubborn wrinkles. The Doctors noticed in their own practice, that although many came for injections, just as many patients declined an injection cosmetic treatment...."no way, Doc."  The Doctors came up with putting a filler in a patch form that can be worn on the skin. Many of the patients who declined an injection, agreed to a patch that can be worn at night. The name of this product is ACUTE CARE. It infuses hyaluronic acid directly into the skin, leading to a filling effect.  I review the product and its use in my blog on hyaluronic-acid-in-skincare-and-in-acute-care-patches-by-rodan-fields.. 
Another alternative to treating the 11's and one which I have personally been using with really good results is the use of a hydration serum. I use the most recently launched product from Rodan and Fields.  It is a 30% glycerin along with hyaluronic acid, which both act as as filler for deeper wrinkles. In several recent blogs I share my excitement on active-hydration-serum-by-dr-katie-rodan-dr-kathy-fields.html  and the research on the product with more-education-on-glycerin-in-active-hydration-serum-by-dr-tim-falla.html
I can truly say this product is the bomb.  i-love-ahs-active-hydration-serum-by-doctors-rodan-fields.html Why not give it a try?
