Mesmerizing Microneedle 400% Collagen Increase!

Microneedling is Simply Amazing!

This is my chest and yes, it looked this good right after 1 microneedling treatment. Because I sleep on my side and I have a large bust, I get significant chest wrinkles (I’m 47). Even though I have EXTREMEMLY sensitive skin, I do microneedling on my face and chest every 2 months; it reverses sun damage and preserves the integrity of my thinning skin, making it look MUCH younger than it is. Many people guess my age to be 10+ years younger than I am.

About Microneedling:

In a 2008 research study, it was proven that after undergoing repeated micro-needling procedures, the amount of collagen and elastin in the skin of the patients increased by an impressive 400% after just 6 months. Furthermore, the skin became noticeably plump, smooth, and rejuvenated after 1 full year, highlighting the long-term benefits of this innovative treatment.

Microneedling causes “micro-injuries” that help stimulate the skin to repair itself naturally through a process called dermal remodeling. This remodeling kick-starts your natural healing process, which stokes collagen production.

The tiny punctures immediately stimulate fibroblast activity, which starts the one-week stage of inflammation. The next phase (proliferation), is where fibroblasts and keratinocytes produce collagen. The structure of the new collagen fibers is similar to that of undamaged, youthful skin. Simultaneously, new blood vessels are created that provide adequate vascularization and oxygenation for the newly formed tissue. During the last phase (remodeling), the skin becomes thicker and creates the support, strength and flexibility for the new skin.

To provide time for all the described stages and for the best results, it’s important to wait 3–6 weeks between micro-needling sessions. For older, more wrinkled skin, or skin that has extensive acne scarring, a series of micro-needling sessions should be performed for more dramatic results. How may treatments your skin needs to reach your goals will be assessed and you will be well informed before deciding on a treatment plan of action.

Because sensitive skin can’t handle stronger peels & sometimes microdermabrasion, Microneedle treatments are my go-to for not only my own sensitive skin, but all of my aging client’s skin, even if they are extremely sensitive!

J. Renee Esthetics microneedling sessions go beyond the ordinary by pairing advanced techniques tailored to maximize your skin’s potential. Each session combines a gentle enzyme peel to cleanse and prepare your skin, L.E.D. Light therapy to soothe and stimulate cellular activity, and—when your skin type allows—microdermabrasion for refined texture and increased absorption. This powerful trio jumpstarts your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, delivering visible improvements in texture, tone, and firmness from the very first treatment—followed by microneedling continuing to enhance your complexion with lasting results. At J. Renee Organics, we don’t just treat skin; we transform it using an all-natural and healthy approach.

Microneedling is proven to help with:

• Acne and other scars, lessen depth, even skin tone

• Dark spots: age spots, sun spots, scars, etc.

• Large pores, plumps skin to make pores appear smaller

• Sagging skin, rebuilds skin structure

• Uneven skin texture and tone

• Wrinkles and fine lines

• Even-out skin tone in melasma conditions

Mast Cells, Histamine & Your Skin

Skin Issues Because of Histamine

Mast cells are a type of white blood cell that protect the body by releasing chemical mediators, such as histamine, to fight off germs, parasites, and toxins.  Mast cells reside in many parts of the body, including the skin. In the process of protecting the body, mast cells release histamine and induce inflammation.  This process is essential for a healthy, healing body and building immunity to pathogens, but when it goes awry, it can contribute to sickness and skin conditions like Melasma, Acne, Rosacea and other skin issues.

• Acne: Because histamine causes skin irritation and inflammation, it can trigger and worsen acne breakouts.  Histamine also stimulates melanin production (darkening of skin).  This is the reason I absolutely DO NOT recommend anyone with acne seeking out the sun for acne treatment; UV exposure exponentially raises the chances of life-long acne hyperpigmentation scarring. 

• Melasma: In melasma, an increased number of mast cells (and histamine) are found in the affected skin, especially after sun exposure. When someone with Melasma gets sun, the melanocytes overproduce melanin, leaving them with dark patches of skin.  Both ultraviolet (UV) radiation and visible light (VL) from the sun contribute to this process, causing existing dark patches to deepen and new ones to form. Also, sun exposure damages skin cells and triggers inflammation, which further stimulates melanocytes to produce more pigment, creating a persistent cycle of discoloration.

• Rosacea: Mast cells and the histamine they release play a central role in the development of rosacea, influencing inflammation, vasodilation, and nerve activity. Research shows that people with rosacea have an increased number and activity of mast cells in their facial skin. Histamine released from these activated mast cells exacerbates flushing, while other released substances drive the inflammatory cascade and contribute to the development of skin thickening seen in advanced rosacea. 

• Cherry Angiomas: Mast cells also release tryptase, promoting the growth of new blood vessels (vascular proliferation) which show up on the skin as cherry angiomas or red moles.

• Eczema, dermatitis and Psoriasis: Studies have shown that histamine levels are elevated in the skin of patients with these conditions. Antihistamines have been investigated as a potential treatment, however because histamine is only one of many inflammatory mediators involved in these conditions, it’s not very effective in treating them.

Solutions for Better Skin

Diet: Consuming a low histamine diet helps dramatically reduce symptoms of histamine related skin conditions and other bodily symptoms of histamine overload.  The list of low and high histamine food is a general list; some people have higher and lower sensitivity to triggering foods and would have to do an elimination diet to find their exact triggers. 

AVOID:

• All fermented food: kefir, kombucha, Sauerkraut, yogurt, kimchi, tempeh, miso, apple cyder vinegar, some cheeses, olives, sour cream anything pickled, beer

• All aged/cured food: Aged cheeses, buttermilk, sour cream, aged/smoked/cured meats, sausage, bacon, pepperoni, wine & spirits, sourdough, vinegar, dried fruit, ALL PRESERVED FOOD (no fast food, TV dinners, left overs or boxed or canned food)

• Sea food (very high in histamine): ALL SEA FOOD, even sea food right out of the ocean has high histamine levels, but as they age, they are extremely high.

• Fruits and Vegetables: bananas, strawberries, all citrus fruit, tomato, avocado, pineapple, papaya, cherries, eggplant, spinach, squash, mushrooms

• Nuts: Walnuts, peanuts, cashews, chickpeas

• Bakery and Sweets: Chocolate, artificial sweeteners, yeast

• Spices: Allspice, anise, cinnamon, chili powder, clove, curry powder, cayenne, msg, nutmeg, paprika

• Supplements: Fish oil

ENJOY:

• Dairy & Alternatives: Pasteurized milk, butter, cream, mozzarella, ricotta, cottage, mascarpone, cottage cheese, Almond milk, Coconut milk, Rice milk and Oat milk

• Vegetables and Fruit: All but listed in “avoid”

• Protein/Meat: All fresh meat, eggs, lentils, red beans, soybeans/tofu. COOK or FREEZE RIGHT AWAY.

• Grains: Amaranth, arrowroot, buckwheat, millet, rice, quinoa

• Nuts: Almonds, Brazil nuts, Chestnuts, Coconut meat, Flax seeds, chia seeds, Hazelnuts, Macadamia nuts, Pecans, Pistachios, Pumpkin seeds, Sesame seeds, and Sunflower seeds

• Oils: Olive oil, coconut oil

• Sweets: Monk fruit, stevia, maple syrup, honey and sugar

Food Preparation

How and when you prepare and store your food is also a factor in the histamine content of a meal.  To reduce histamine in your food prep, prioritize using the freshest ingredients possible and minimize the time between cooking and eating. Histamine levels increase as food ages, and while freezing can slow this process, it does not stop it completely. You should freeze leftovers immediately, as well employing the following meal prep tips:

• Choose boiling and steaming. Studies show that boiling and steaming can decrease histamine levels, while high-heat methods like frying and grilling may increase them. An Instant Pot can also be a good option for faster cooking.

• Use low-histamine seasonings. Flavor your food with low-histamine herbs and spices, such as ginger, turmeric, oregano, and basil. Avoid spices like cinnamon, cloves, or curry powder, which are higher in histamine.

• Add "anti-histamine" foods. Incorporate ingredients that may have natural anti-histamine effects into your cooking, such as onions, garlic, apples, and blueberries. 

• Use glass or silicone containers. Use high-quality, airtight glass or silicone containers for storing prepped ingredients and frozen meals to prevent oxidation and chemical leaching from plastics.

• Cool food quickly. After cooking, cool food in small, shallow containers to reduce the time it spends at lukewarm temperatures, which promotes bacterial growth.

• Reheat frozen meals only once. Reheat frozen meals quickly, ideally straight from the freezer, and avoid reheating the same portion multiple times.

• Transport food safely. If you are taking food on the go, use an insulated bag with freezer packs to keep the temperature stable and minimize histamine increases. 

Natural anti-histamine supplements, herbs and teas:

• Supplements: Vitamin C, Bromelain, DAO enzymes, probiotics, B12, B6, Copper, Zinc

• Herbal supplements: Quercetin, butterbur, stinging nettle, mint, skullcap, turmeric, ginger, holy basil, rosemary

Anti-histamine blocker Medications

Benadryl,  provides relief from itching by inhibiting histamine's action on H1 receptors in skin tissues. These medications cause significant side effects, including drowsiness due to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. 

2nd generation anti-histamines are widely used to treat skin conditions like chronic hives, dermatitis and other allergic skin issues. These medications are preferred for skin conditions because they are less likely to cause drowsiness, as they do not readily penetrate the central nervous system. 2nd generation H1 histamine blockers are best for melasma because they have been shown to lessen pigment in the skin by suppressing melanin production through multiple signaling pathways.  My go-to for 2nd gen histamine blocker for skin issues is fexofenadine (Allegra), because it has fewer side effects.

3rd generation H1 blockers prevent inflammation without stopping the initial release of histamine. Third-generation H1 blockers are effective for treating skin conditions like hives and allergic reactions that cause itching and swelling. They have also been proven to help with acne and rosacea by limiting inflammation, redness and itching. Additionally, this type of medication reduces oil production in the skin, which helps reduce acne breakouts. My go-to 3rd Gen Histamine blocker for skin is Levocetirizine (Xyzal), because it has very few side effects.

H2 blockers are not the primary histamine blocker medication for skin issues, but when paired with H1 blockers, they are more effective at treating the inflammation and vasodilation that’s caused by Rosacea.  H2 blockers are medications that reduce stomach acid production by blocking histamine receptors. Famotidine (Pepcid) is my go-to H2 blocker for skin issues because it has fewer side effects.

Consult Your Physician!

This article is for informational purposes only.  Although these histamine blockers are OTC (over the counter) medications,they are still drugs and may interact with other medications or react poorly with current medical conditions.

Skincare Products if You’re Histamine Sensitive

For those with histamine sensitivity, using antioxidant rich skincare products can ease histamine symptoms of the skin.  Antioxidant skincare ingredients calm skin inflammation, alleviate redness and help strengthen barrier function.  Antioxidants can also be beneficial by neutralizing free radicals, which often trigger inflammation and lead to excessive histamine release. 

• Avoid products with ingredients that cause inflammations like: sulfates, alcohol, synthetic fragrances and lanolin. Also avoid formaldehyde-releasing preservatives like: DMDM Hydantoin, Diazolidinyl Urea, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Quaternium-15, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate, Bronopol.  These ingredients can strip the skin's protective barrier, cause irritation, disrupt its natural balance and/or trigger allergic reactions. 

Skincare Procedures if You’re Histamine Sensitive

There are few in-office skincare procedures that can help lessen a histamine reaction, L.E.D. Light Therapy is the #1 BEST thing you can do for inflamed, reactive skin. LED light therapy reduces skin inflammation by delivering specific light wavelengths that are absorbed by skin cells, triggering a process called photobiomodulation. Red and near-infrared lights promote circulation and reduce inflammation, while yellow and blue lights address other inflammatory conditions and bacteria. These lights interact with chromophores within skin cells, leading to beneficial cellular changes that decrease inflammation and improve skin health.

Teen Acne: Start NOW

Teen skin needs help before life-long scarring takes place.

Acne can plague us at any age but during adolescence and puberty is the time to start battling it.  Pre-teens are just learning how to take care of themselves and then BAM!, puberty kicks in and hormones turn their faces into an oily mess.  Chances are that your child will have some form of acne during this time. 

It is so very important to have your child on the right routine ASAP!  Washing twice per day with the proper cleanser for their skin type and applying the proper lotion will keep most acne at bay and will lessen the chances of life long scarring. 

Drugstore acne products are formulated to dry-out the skin; this is not a long-term solution, as it can set off a cascade of inflammation, over-drying the skin and causing the body to produce even more oil.  The excess oil and flakey, dry skin that it produces ends up clogging the pore and causing MORE acne. 

Addressing acne as early as possible will lessen the need for stronger medications, lasers and chemical peels later.  TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! 

Start your child on a chemical free, drug free, fragrance free, paraben free, SAFE skincare routine that won’t break the bank.  My basic acne set should do the trick, if used daily AM and PM.  The set is antimicrobial to kill acne bacteria, without killing off their healthy bacteria.  It’s anti-inflammatory to lessen the redness and swelling of acne.  And the products are very easy to use, nothing else should be added, as not all products are formulated to work well together.

Some kids need a bit more direction, or to hear it from someone other than their parents (eye-roll).  Setting them up for success may mean scheduling them for a teen facial, where I can educate them on why their home routine is important and how to stay consistent for clear skin.

Sunburn MacGyr Mask

Summer is in Full swing and sunburns are easy to get and can ruin a vacation.  I travel a lot and don’t always have my ingredient apothecary near me, so I’m gonna let you in on my MacGyvr skin skills.  I have a secret remedy that I use when I get too much UV.  It speeds healing time and takes the pain down a few notches, as well as moisturizes the crispy skin.  There are a few common ingredients that you can obtain at most hotels to soothe a sunburn. 

Sunburn Soothing Ingredients (approximate measurements, doesn’t have to be exact):

• 1 tsp Honey

• 1-2 Chamomile Tea Bags

• 1-2 Green Tea Bags

• Small bucket of Ice

• 1/4 cup or 1 packet of Oatmeal

• 2 Egg Whites

• 3 Cups Water

• 2 tsps of Aloe, if you can get your hand on some.

• If you only have a couple of these items, that is ok, improvise, all ingredients are anti-inflammatory and will speed healing.

DIY Mask Instructions:

1.     Heat 2-3 cups of water in the microwave and add the oatmeal to it.  You’ll want way more water than it takes to make the oatmeal. Also add to the hot mixture, green and/or chamomile tea bags. Let this set for 5 minutes.

2.     After 5 minutes, remove the tea bags and sift out the solid oatmeal, leaving the oatmeal/tea water behind.  You can throw the solid oatmeal away.

3.     While its still warm, mix in 1 teaspoon of honey and put container on ice or in the freezer till cool (NOT ice cold).

4.     Remove from ice/freezer and mix in 2 egg whites. Add 2 teaspoons of aloe if you have it too.

5.     Apply mixture to face or any burned area 1-2 times per day for 15 minutes.  Shower it off gently with tepid water and pat dry.  Immediately, while still damp, apply a non-scented lotion and stay out of direct sunlight. 

I highly recommend investing in some SPF clothing so you don’t have to put chemical SPF on over the sunburn, where it can soak right in.  That said, if you don’t have these clothes, wear SPF to protect your skin further if you’ll be in the sun.  Reapply often.

Illness & Birth Defects: Parabens

Parabens have been used for over 50 years as a preservative in food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, but recent studies have correlated parabens with hypersensitivity, obesity and infertility. 

Because parabens mimic estrogen in the body, they disrupt hormonal balance and result in several health issues like weight gain, skin irritability and reduced fertility. Almost 77 % of rinse-off products and 99 % of leave-on personal care products contain parabens. 

Women who used paraben containing nail polish, perfume, lotion, cosmetics, sunscreen and hair gel had urinary concentrations of parabens that were 28–80 % higher than people who used organic products.  Studies show that women with higher levels of parabens in their urine were more likely to experience irregular menstrual periods and impaired ovarian function, both of which are signs of PCOS.  Infertility, endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), are a few of the reproductive issues in women with which parabens have been associated. 

Parabens are readily absorbed into the human body and can lead to detrimental impacts on health, including the onset of skin allergies, endocrine dysfunction, reproductive issues, as well as a negative impact on the liver.  Unfortunately, cosmetics manufacturers are not required by law to remove parabens from their products.

Even worse, the influence of parabens during pregnancy are alarming!  Moms using products with parabens during pregnancy can cause permanent disruption of their baby’s feeling of satiety, increasing the child’s chances of becoming obese. Also, parabens in the urine of pregnant women is associated with birth defects affecting the genitals of their children.  Boys exposed to parabens prenatally had a reduced distance from the anus to the scrotum – a recognized sign of endocrine disorders that may affect future sperm quality and testosterone levels. The girls had shorter distance and changes in their reproductive hormones, but we do not yet know the long-term impact of these changes.

Please read your personal care products and trash any that contain parabens. Hairspray, shampoo, skincare, perfume, sunscreen, shower gel, shaving cream…anything you put on your body should not contain parabens.  I can help with the skincare; J Renee Organics facial and body products do not contain parabens or chemicals of any kind.

Topical Vitamins, Nature’s Antiaging Cream

UV Protection from Skincare ingredients

Topical antioxidants from skincare offer a range of benefits for the skin, primarily by fighting free radicals and reducing oxidative damage that cause wrinkles, age spots and increased susceptibility to skin diseases and cancer.  Additionally, topical antioxidants can help protect against UV damage and reduce inflammation when used daily on the skin. 

The benefits of plant extracts and peptides in protecting against UV and pollution damage are proven to protect skin from and reverse UV damage. Topical application of antioxidants can enhance the photoprotective function of UV filters in sunscreen as well.

The sooner you start using these little miracles from nature, the better your skin will look. Not only that, it will look youthful MUCH LONGER than someone who is not using them!

I started using natural, antioxidant rich products in my late 30s and I still look much younger than my peers at 45.

• Vitamin C, known for its skin brightening effects, also helps protect the skin from sun damage and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.  

• Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant that can reduce UV damage at a cellular level. When combined with vitamin C, it provides even greater protection. 

• Niacinamide can increase antioxidant defenses in the skin, control inflammation and reduce UV-induced skin damage. 

• Ferulic acid is an antioxidant that enhances the stability and effectiveness of vitamin C and E, and it also protects the skin from sun damage by reversing its effects and absorbing UV rays. 

In summary, incorporating antioxidant-rich skincare products into your routine, along with regular sunscreen use, can contribute to a more robust defense against the damaging effects of UV radiation and help keep skin youthful, healthy and beautiful.

ALL J Renee Organics products are packed with vitamins, minerals and natural antioxidants!

What is Microdermabrasion?

MIcroderm

Microdermabrasion (microderm) is a non-invasive, comfortable, exfoliating procedure that produces immediate improvement of the texture and tone of the skin.  Microderm cleans out the pores making them look smaller, fades sun spots and acne scars, clears blackheads and acne, plumps fines lines and puts that youthful glow back into your cheeks.   For significant improvement of pigmentation (sun spots & Melasma) and persistent acne, you may need a series of treatments.  

The number of treatments and space between depends on your skin type, the severity of your condition, your goals and your budget. Monthly or bi-monthly microderm treatments are beneficial for individuals with thick/dry skin, persistent acne or for people over 25 wanting to keep their skin looking and feeling young.   The procedure takes about 30 minutes and there is no down time.  I highly recommend pairing microderm with Light Emitting Diode Therapy (LED).  LED plumps skin at the cellular level by helping your body produce its own collagen, kills the bacteria that causes acne, among other benefits.

Reversing Sugar Binge Skin Issues

Now that you've stuffed yourself with Easter goodies, we unwrap how it affects your skin ... and how to reverse the damage.

Elevated insulin (caused by too much sugar) can increase oil production in the skin, leading to clogged pores, blackheads, spots and acne. Additionally, high sugar intake can cause inflammation, which can exacerbate acne, Rosacea, eczema and other skin conditions.

Excessive sugar consumption can negatively impact skin health long-term by promoting inflammation, damaging collagen and elastin, aging the skin and body faster.  This occurs through a process called glycation- where sugar molecules attach to proteins in the skin, forming advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs damage collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of elasticity.   

Reversing this damage completely is not possible, but we can lessen the effects by using retinol, sunscreen, using natural antioxidant rich skincare products and by using peptides and hyaluronic acid. J Renee organic products and skincare treatments are packed with these ingredients for a reason! Natural ingredients have been extensively studied and proven to positively effect skin beauty and skin health.

While not consuming sugar is optimal, that's just not realistic. Doing monthly facials and using antioxidant rich skincare products at home daily will help erase the effects of some of the fun holiday treats. It’s imperative to use proper skincare at home and get facials if you regularly indulge in sugary treats, bread and pastries and alcohol. Schedule your facial today and we will asses your skin, assign you a skin type and make a home routine for you so there is no guessing or wasting money or time on preserving your youthful beauty.

Study on Antioxidants for Topical Use in Anti-Aging

Allergies, histamine & skin.

Pollen counts this year are OUT OF CONTROL! Historical highs in pollen are leading people to severe seasonal allergies, sleep issues because of it and skin problems.

People who experience seasonal allergies tend to experience dry, itchy, irritated skin. Also, histamine naturally stimulates oil production in the skin, so when you take antihistamines, it can dry the skin out. Combat dry skin with the proper lotion for you and your allergic condition.

When histamine is released in the body, the skin tells a story of the internal battle: it gets itchy, irritated and inflamed. If you already have skin issues like acne, rosacea, eczema or dermatitis, it could make those conditions worse when pollen counts are high.

Natural antihistamines are easier on the skin and the body and can provide relief from allergy symptoms as well as skin issues. Quercetin is a natural antihistamine that is found in apples, onions and berries. There are also quercetin supplements sold that can be taken daily.

During the height of spring and pollen counts, it’s helpful to avoid high-histamine foods so your body isn’t overwhelmed with reactions, making you feel and look worse. High histamine food consists of anything “old” or “aged”. Skip the left-overs, avoid aged, smoked, preserved, “sour” or picked food. Seafood is often the worst for histamine counts. Some fruits and veggies are also high in histamine, those include avocado, banana, tomatoes and worst of all: citrus fruits. Eating fresh meat, fresh veggies and fruit (accept the ones listed above) will help with your allergy battle.

As for your irritated, allergic skin, switching to a calming skincare regimen during spring that’s more moisturizing may help with redness and dry skin issues during high pollen times. For more information, schedule a free skin consult today to find your answers.
