Viktoria De’Ann

Viktoria De’ANN Peptide Cosmeceutials are proudly featured at Advanced Skincare.

 

Viktoria De’ANN is a technologically based company that synthesizes in a FDA-certified laboratory its own unique Peptide Messengers that are administered transdermally. Optimizing the cells in growth areas of the skin (dermis and epidermis) allows for an internal re-establishment of Natural Healthy Cell Cycle. As these supporting layers of the skin peak towards their natural operating function the affects can be seen in the subsequent outer layers through corrective balance exfoliation, skin health, and visible skin beauty.

 

These powerful products employ Active Natural Biological Peptide Messengers which are beneficial to the health, repair, and rejuvenation of the skin.

 

Peptides work in harmony with the body to regenerate cellular communication. This communication is proven to be a key component in healthy, ageless & beautiful skin.

 

Working as the body’s cellular messengers, peptides relay information for the initiation of processes such as repair and remodeling. This translates to collagen regeneration, healthy cellular metabolism, reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, lifted skin, improved texture, increased smoothness, and more clarified skin.

 

What are Peptides?

Peptides are natural biological messages, produced by the body, in order to communicate necessary tasks to be performed. Peptides are your body’s language and communication network. Each peptide, or message, is composed of a specific order of amino acids (the same building blocks of protein). There are many different amino acids and therefore millions of different combinations or messages that can be made out of them. It is best to think of amino acids like the English alphabet. Alone the letters (amino acids) are just letters, but once you start combining them in a specific combination, they become words, and then words become whole sentences (peptides) which can then communicate an exact message. Some of those messages can promote healthy skin through initiating collagen production or another message to relax facial muscle contracts to help soften wrinkles.

 

As skin ages it loses the message to replenish itself at the proper rate. Damage from the environment slows cell turnover rate, causing the dead cells on the surface (stratum corneum) to accumulate and become thicker reducing moisture, nourishment, and protection from within, producing rough unhealthy skin. The ultra violet (UV) rays from the sun, increase pigmentation and damage to skin cells, resulting in age spots and freckles. Collagen and elastin,which is the structure that holds the skin together, start to break down causing it to lose its firmness and resilience.

 

Peptides allow the skin’s cellular function and skin renewal cycle to become optimized and renewed, which replaces the upper thick dead skin cells. Rejuvenation of the dermis helps to renew and smooth the skin’s surface. Renewal of the stratum corneum also helps reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation and freckles, while healthy Collagen and Elastin promote firm, youthful skin.

 

Why makes Vitoria De’Ann different?

Unlike other product lines who must buy their peptides from raw material suppliers, Viktoria De’Ann sysnthesizes its own unique messengers. This allows them the unique opportunity to formulate with a higher concetration of active and also offer a superior product treatment at unbeatable price point.

The Difference Between OTC & Cosmeceutical Grade Skincare Products?     

Do You Know The Difference Between Over The Counter and Cosmeceutical Grade Skin Care Products?                                                                       

Over the counter (OTC) is any skin care product that can be purchased at a store or online without supervision.  OTC’s products do NOT have the same amount of active ingredients that cosmeceuticals have.   They are NOT allowed to under law.   Cosmeceuticals are pharmaceutical grade products that are only available through licensed skincare professional!  Cosmeceuticals contain a much higher amount of active ingredients than you could purchase OTC and they penetrate much deeper into the skin.

 

Why are active ingredients important? These are the ingredients that MAKE a change in the skin. Some of the conditions or concerns that most consumers are trying to correct: Hyperpigmentation, Melasma, Acne, Fine lines & Wrinkles, Hydration, Sun Spots ext.

 

OTC products ONLY work with the outer most layer of the skin.  By law they cannot penetrate nor correct. So when you use OTC products you are applying the product and it just sits on the surface of the skin. It will not penetrate any deeper!   Bummer RIGHT!   I know. Think of all the money spent over the years on products that just work on the surface.  OTC products have so many fillers, parabens, dyes, fragrance ext and they are most likely watered down.

 

One the BIGGEST reasons consumers purchase OTC products are because they think they cannot afford medical grade cosmeceuticals. This is not true. Most OTC products you get from the drug store, department stores, independent cosmetic sales consultants or even a mall kiosk are often the same price or more expensive. You end up using more of the product and replacing it sooner which means more $$$$ all for products that regardless of what you pay do nothing except give the appearance of working.

 

Medical Grade Cosmeceuticals are acutally more affordable because they have a much higher concentration of pharmaceutical ingredients, they last longer because you do not use as much, and don’t pay for  T.V. infomercials, packaging, perfume or big advertising campaigns.

 

So does this mean OTC products do not work? If you have never used a skin care regime before… maybe but only with a minimal result as again under law OTC cannot penetrate nor correct a skin condition.   They will only work superficially. And this is where you end up with multiple skin care products that you get tired of because they do not work and you throw them in a drawer or trash can.   Again waste of $$$$.

 

Whether you want to combat the signs of aging, resolve problematic skin issues or simply maintain healthy skin, we can recommend a skin care products that will meet all of your needs.

Signature Treatments

At Advanced Skincare & Wellness, we believe that every facial should be unique and tailored to each client’s individual skin needs. No two women are alike nor should your face be treated in the same way.   A good clinical facial actually takes into account the specific (and varying) needs of every inch of the face. It is customized to treat whatever ails you, including clogged pores, breakouts, and uneven skin tone, and fine lines. I will listen to all of your concerns and develop the perfect plan for your skin and lifestyle. Sometimes we don’t know what our skin really needs so to help you along this journey, we will create a facial treatment just for you. My skincare room is quite affordable, which goes a long way in making professional skincare a regular part of your routine.


Our Bespoke Facials is NOT a standard facial, but a customized facial treatment using several facial devices in a single treatment. Essentially a multi-step procedure tailored to solve 4 main skin problems: acne, pigmentation, aging and sun damage (4 problems in 1 solution).   They are a unique combination of our popular anti-aging facial treatments and protocols for excellent skin rejuvenation all wrapped into one hybrid treatment. The treatment can include a mixture of Skin Peels, Microdermabrasion, Dermaplaning, O2 Oxygen therapy, Non-Surgical Face Lifting, No Needle Skin Infusion and LED.  All of this for the fraction of the cost, we believe every woman should be able to afford these services and this is why we do not charge you for each modality we use, like other skincare offices. All treatments must perform in a series for optimal results.

Bespoke Anti-Aging

Our Bespoke Signature Facial is the ultimate anti-aging treatment and is our most popular facial for clients ages 25 and up because it maintains good skin quality and provides anti-aging benefits. Anti-aging facials use products and techniques designed to slow the aging process, brighten skin and reduce wrinkles. The key to preventing wrinkles is to start early and receive monthly treatments.

 

You’ve probably heard the old expression: “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”                                                                                            When it comes to skincare, that advice rings especially true!

 

That’s why investing in your skin is essential. $150 to $175    (You would pay $275 0r more anywhere else)

 


Signature Precision Lift

Our Bespoke Signature Precision Lift is targeted to clients with early aging changes, jowling, and mild neck and face laxity, which typically starts to show up between the ages of the 30s to 50s. In addition to contouring the jawline and neckline, our exclusive Precision Lift includes collagen induction therapies ( micro-needling or Dermatude) to minimize fine line and wrinkles. If your goal is a more youthful complexion, this facial uses a variety of anti-aging treatments ranging from vitamin-infused serums to light therapy and radiofrequency.

 

Preventative facials are your best defense against premature aging skin by preventing toxic build-up, dehydration and collagen breakdown.

 

Monthly facial treatments are a must, not only prevent aging but destroy bacteria to prevent acne blemishes. If you can’t spring for monthly, try going four times a year to sync up with the seasons. Maybe purchase in a series at a discounted price.                                                                   

Individual price $200 to $275 (The cost for this treatment starts around $450 at other spas )
