Features and Benefits as developed by Dr. Ava Shamban (or) What was the Dermatologist Thinking?
What did our own ALTHAEA SKIN Founder, renowned dermatologist Ava Shamban, MD, have in mind when she developed the C·A·R·A Multi-Modal Facial Tool? In perfecting its features, she brought to the process the same discipline and exacting standards that she uses in her practice with its host of professional skin renewing technologies; lasers and light devices, microcurrent, radiofrequency, injectables and many more.
Says Dr. Shamban, “I wanted to extend and advance the in-office treatments for our patients. At the same time, I wanted to offer a tool for home use for those who couldn’t come in or afford to see us for treatment. While the C·A·R·A is no substitute for deeper and stronger professional services, with consistent use it nonetheless delivers excellent, visible improvement.”
The features incorporated into the C·A·R·A are:
- Multi-modal: “Combining technologies – radiofrequency, LED light, and EMS,” says Dr. Shamban, “addresses multiple situations at once because problem skin or aging, visibly tired skin have multiple causes.
- “Radiofrequency helps with collagen synthesis; depending on the frequency LED light kills bacteria or stimulates skin cell energy; and EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) goes deeper below the dermis to help tone and sculpt the supporting muscles below. In a single treatment, you get them all.”
- Hand held and light weight: “Unlike masks or larger bulkier tools,” she explains, “the ergonomically-designed C·A·R·A fits easily into the hand allowing for greater maneuverability and the ability to get right to the edges and into tight spots like around the nose or the eyelids.”
- Customizable: “We included different settings,” she notes, “to target the specific issues that concern the user whether it be hormonal problem skin, fine lines and wrinkles, or a generally tired looking complexion.”
- Travel and gym friendly: “With USB recharging,” she sums up, “you can take it with you. We include a travel case with your C·A·R·A device. In fact, the C·A·R·A is particularly good with jet lagged skin, helping to drain bloating and smooth away the fine lines of signs of exhaustion on your face.”
