NAPLES, Fla., Feb. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As any one of the thousands of “snow birds” who flock to Florida for the winter will tell you, the Sunshine State, with its enviable climate, does have a downside – skin that’s exposed to intense UVA and UVB rays year-round. Dr. Patrick Flaharty, a facial plastic surgeon based in Naples and Fort Myers, noticed a common trend among his fifty-and-older facelift patients – poor skin health.
“When women talk to me about having a facelift, they’re usually most concerned with fixing the effects of gravity,” says Dr. Flaharty. “For some of our patients, they’ve never taken care of their skin in the way that they should have, and after five-plus decades of sun exposure compounded by the aging process, the skin can be in very poor condition. It’s thin, dehydrated and wrinkled. On the plus side, it’s never too late to improve the way you look! But on the negative side, if you’re considering having facial surgery – whether it’s an eye lift, neck lift, brow lift or full facelift – the results will always be better if your skin is first in optimal condition.”
Dr. Flaharty, who has performed over 20,000 facial plastic procedures, has trialed many medical skincare lines over the years, but was frustrated with the lack of results. After consulting with his wife Dr. Kristen Flaharty, a PharmD with 20 years of ethical pharmaceutical product development experience for big Pharma companies, the husband-and-wife team decided to combine skills and develop their own science-based skincare line.
Trilogy Laboratories was founded in 2014 with a licensed and registered manufacturing facility in Fort Myers to ensure that they could control the quality of the products at every step of the manufacturing process. Azul SkinHealth was born.
“About 80% of patients at Azul are mature women,” says Dr. Kristen Flaharty. “My husband wanted a skincare system that he could hand to patients and be confident their skin would be visibly healthier in 30 days. Of course, it also had to be easy to use, and reasonably priced!“
After many months of product testing, the Azul Anti-Aging System was launched. “There are 5 products in all,” explains Dr. Kristen Flaharty. “Each is a powerhouse product in its own right, to boost collagen and elastin production, but when used as a system, the results are that much more effective.”
Azul Anti-Aging System consists of:
Enzyme Polish Exfoliator – an elegant combination of exfoliating agents to reveal fresh younger skin.
Rejuva Gel Cleanser – with 10% Glycolic Acid, this cleanser gently removes dead skin cells and improves penetration of serums.
Dermal C 20% - professional strength Vitamin C containing amino acids and grape seed extract to accelerate the production of collagen and elastin.
Vitamin A Serum with Peptides - This power-house retinol serum is also loaded with peptides to boost collagen and elastin production and provide a protective barrier to prevent the formation of new wrinkles.
Growth Factor Renewal Cream - designed specifically for aging, dry, and sun-damaged skin, contains growth factors and powerful antioxidants to supplement your skin’s health, protect it from free radicals, accelerate cell turnover and gently retexturize.
“My friend’s skin looked so good after she returned from Florida that I asked her what she was using. She told me it was Dr. Flaharty’s Anti-Aging Skin Care System and I called and ordered it immediately!”
