How Can You Reduce Premature Skin Aging?

/0 Comments/in /by

Like it or not, sometimes premature skin aging happens to some of us.

If you’re one of those who are experiencing this, don’t worry as there are ways to reduce premature skin aging.

How can you reduce premature skin aging?

  • We strongly recommend you safeguard your skin from the sun every single day. Seek the shade, avoid the Sun between 10 am and 3 pm, wear long sleeves and use a broad-spectrum water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30. Apply sunscreen every day to all skin that is not covered by clothing.
  • Avoid scrubbing your skin clean as it causes irritation and hastens skin aging. Instead, cleanse your skin gently to remove makeup, dirt, etc.
  • Wash your face gently twice a day and after sweating. Perspiration irritates your skin especially when you use a hat or helmet.
  • Apply a moisturizer on your face every day. Moisturizer traps water in your skin, giving it a youthful appearance.

If you are concerned about skin aging, consult the best skin specialists in Shinagawa Aesthetics.

We offer advanced treatments and minimally invasive procedures for firming up your skin, smoothing wrinkles, and improving your complexion.

What Are The Skin’s Proteins? | Shinagawa Blog

What Are The Skin’s Proteins?

/0 Comments/in /by

What exactly are the skin’s proteins? Let us take a look at them and their respective functions.

Collagen: Collagen is the most plentiful protein in the skin, making up 75-80% of your skin. Collagen and elastin are responsible for warding off wrinkles and fine lines. Over time, the environment and aging reduce your body’s ability to produce collagen.

Elastin: Think elastic. Elastin is found with collagen in the dermis. It’s another protein, responsible for giving structure to your skin and organs. As with collagen, elastin is affected by time and the elements. Lower levels of this protein cause your skin to wrinkle and sag.

Keratin: Keratin is the main protein in your skin, and makes up hair, nails, and the surface layer of the skin. Keratin is what forms the rigidity of your skin and helps with the barrier protection that your skin offers.

Do you have myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism?

Michael Caasi used to but not anymore after having LASIK at Shinagawa.

“It’s been months since I had my LASIK surgery and it was a life-changing moment for me!” said Michael.

“My myopia (nearsightedness) and very high astigmatism are both gone now! From 275/230, I now have a 20/12 vision! Life is better for me now. Everything is clear now. Thank you, Shinagawa for this wonderful experience!”

Wearing shades will now be a thing for him, too.

“I can wear shades now and don’t need to wear glasses anymore. Also, with the pandemic, before, I needed to wear glasses with a face shield. Now, not anymore.”

LASIK: One Of The Best Christmas Gifts | Shinagawa Blog

LASIK: One Of The Best Christmas Gifts

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s the holidays once again and for sure, you are trying to think of a gift truly worthy of the one you love, or even to yourself.

We all want the best for the people we love, and if the one you love sees the world with less than crystal clarity, LASIK vision correction – the gift of clear vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses – is a gift that will keep on giving long after the holidays have ended.

While it’s wonderful to give traditional gifts, whether it’s a hand-knitted sweater or the latest piece of technology or something extravagant like a brand new car or a vacation trip, these gifts generally make very little difference in a person’s quality of life.

On the other hand, imagine the difference in your loved one’s quality of life (or even your own) that it would make to wake up every day to naturally clear vision.

Imagine what it would be like to receive precise, individual vision correction, technologically tailored to address and resolve nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, as well as the tiny distortions inherent to your loved one’s unique eyes.

Imagine what it would be like for the person you love to experience greater contrast sensitivity and perception of fine detail, allowing them to better appreciate and enjoy the visual gradations, distinctions, and intricate contours that give the world its richness and make it easier to perform everyday tasks.

Imagine what it would be like for the person you love to swim, jog, play contact sports, roll around with the kids, and watch TV without having to bother with, worry about, or switch back and forth between glasses or contact lenses.

Imagine what it would be like for the person you love to be able to completely forget about their glasses or contact lenses. No more having to keep track of their glasses, no more having to clean and store their contact lenses, no more having to hassle with absolutely anything to see absolutely clearly.

There are so many reasons why LASIK makes a truly worthy gift for your loved one this holiday season. Reach out to us today and together we’ll take the steps to help your loved one receive the gift of clear vision and a better quality of life.

Holiday Health Tips | Shinagawa Blog

Holiday Health Tips

/0 Comments/in /by

The holidays are officially here and they are notorious for wreaking havoc on our schedules, and waistlines.

While we enjoy all our holiday festivities, it is also important for us to keep our health in check amidst all the celebrations.

Here are a few tips to stay the course during this tempting season:

Limit Your Alcohol Intake

Alcohol is just empty calories. Sorry to say. The more we drink each night, the higher the chances we’ll skip our workouts and increase our waistline. Try alternating a glass of water between each drink during the holidays to help reduce your intake.

Go To Bed Early

It’s easy to stay up later each night to play catch-up during the holidays, but a lack of significant sleep will add up. Sleep is essential for your overall health, and we tend to snack on unhealthy foods the later it gets in the night.

Reduce Your Portions

The holidays bring new flavors that maybe we haven’t experienced in months. That’s no reason to get seconds or thirds during the same meal. If you feel you want seconds, try walking away from the table (maybe start cleaning the kitchen) and if you still want seconds after 10 min, then do what you must. Remember, there will be snacks and goodies everywhere during the holidays, so stay strong!

Happy Holidays, everyone! Let’s stay healthy while we enjoy and soak in the spirit of Christmas.
