Your life probably isn’t spent on movie sets or chronicled by the paparazzi, but that doesn’t mean you don’t want to look like a star. In an attempt to channel your inner celebrity, you may buy a closet full of dresses by designers like Diane von Furstenberg or Stella McCartney and even get your done by a celebrity stylist like Ken Paves.
But, what really makes celebrities envious are their glowing, blemish-free complexions. So, if your skin isn’t flawless, then none of that will matter. If you’re lucky enough to live in the Los Angeles area, then you can visit Gene Rubinstein, M.D., of the Dermatology and Laser Centre of Studio City, yourself and get the same procedures that he uses on his A-list clients. If not, then you can approach your own dermatologist and see if he can replicate Dr. Rubinstein’s work with procedures like these:
Visia Skin Analysis: Before deciding on any treatments, this device uses ultraviolet light to look below the surface of your skin. The result is a series of images that you and your dermatologist can review together to pinpoint your most troublesome areas, whether it be age spots or wrinkles, to determine the best treatment plan for you.
PhotoFacial: When Carrie Ann Inaba, a judge on Dancing with the Stars, visited Dr. Rubinstein, she first received a PhotoFacial. The noninvasive procedure uses gentle pulses of light to help reduce sun damage and age spots on face, neck chest and hands. Within five days, Inaba said she noticed full results.
Oxygen Facial: During her trip to Dr. Rubinstein’s office, Inabba also opted for a series of oxygen facials. The treatment is used to diminish fine lines, plumpen the skin, exfoliate and cleanse. A more hydrated look is instantly revealed as soon as your 30-minute facial is complete.
Fraxel Laser: During the makeover process on How Do I Look, one participant arrived at Dr. Rubinstein’s office where she received a Fraxel Laser treatment to reduce scarring from prior acne. The laser is great for evening out skin tone, minimizing pores and smoothing out acne scars.
Medial Depth Crystal Free Microdermabrasion- Even Oprah herself featured one of the popular procedures Dr. Rubinstein uses in his office on her daily talk show. The DiamondTome Skin Resurfacing System, offered by Dr. Rubinstein, uses microdermabrasion at a deep, yet clinically controlled, level. The treatment is used to extract blackheads and whiteheads, minimize blotchy skin and rejuvenate sun damaged skin.
Now, armed with these red carpet secrets, you will be able to outshine even the biggest divas and maybe even catch the eye of a certain Mr. Robert Pattinson.
