Dr. Zand has developed the safest, most effective anti-aging treatments ever. The Z Mei Skin Therapy System addresses those factors that impact the skin, including chronic skin conditions, as it aids in the production of the collagen protein matrix and increased elasticity.

Within each Z Mei formula you will find a combination of Dr. Zand's selection of the finest botanical ingredients utilizing the most technologically advanced delivery systems available. The result is the maximized efficiency of the skin's chemistry to rejuvenate itself.

At the heart of each Z Mei formula is Z Meizome, a proprietary liposomic complex developed by Dr. Zand that is naturally rich in vitamins, minerals and ancient Oriental herbs that penetrate the skin to deliver treatment at the cellular level.

Z Mei helps to repair the damage done by ultraviolet radiation, chemicals and pollutants in the environment, hormonal changes, as well as the natural aging process. As a result, the actual health, tone and elasticity of the skin can be improved.

The total Z Mei Skin Therapy System helps destroy harmful topical bacteria, leaves pores clean and unclogged, exfoliates dead skin cells, nourishes and promotes repair to damaged tissue, and rejuvenates tired skin - all of this while visibly reducing skin discoloration and the signs of aging.

And while this kind of superior treatment would cost many hundreds of dollars in specialty stores, department stores or spas, the Z Mei Skin Therapy System is surprisingly affordable.

Cleopatra bathed in sour milk (lactic acid), the ladies of HenryVIII's court applied sugar (glycolic acid) to their hands and feet. For centuries we have used nature to beautify ourselves. The Z Mei Skin Therapy System has combined the wisdom of ancient beauty secrets with the most advanced scientific technology to deliver the newest, most effective and safest skin care system available.

Skin is partly genetic, partly environmentally influenced and certainly affected by the regime we establish to care for it. The bad habits that we think we can get away with - such as frying our faces in the sun, going to sleep with our makeup on, squeezing blackheads, and swiping makeup off with the kitchen towel - are all factors that damage skin over time.

Also, our faces don't like to be lathered in too much moisturizer, irritated by strong fruit peels, excessively manipulated, or dehydrated by bars of soap and indoor heating and air conditioning.

Just like the inside of our body, the outside changes with our moods, the seasons and time. Depressed skin is different than traveling skin is different than malnourished skin is different than winter skin is different than the skin you had 10 years ago, etc. The Z Mei Skin Therapy System will keep your face clean, moist and protected.

The skin is divided into two parts. The outer part is called the "epidermis" and the inner layer is called the "dermis." At the bottom of the epidermis lies the melanocyte cells. The melanocytes produce skin color as well as age-related freckles that your dermatologist will call "lentigos" or simply age-related discoloration.

Wrinkles are also a part of aging, but age alone is not the only cause. Overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) sunlight, both UVA - responsible for tanning, wrinkling and melanoma - and UVB - responsible for sunburn and basal and squamous cell carcinoma. UV light may damage skin by increasing the production of proteolytic enzymes that break down collagen, the connective tissue located beneath the dermis.

There are many ways today to address wrinkled facial tissue: dermabrasion, chemical peels, collagen injections, glycolic peels, glycolic peeling creams, and laser resurfacing. Many of these options can be harsh, especially to sensitive skin. The Z Mei Skin Therapy System, a combination of vitamins, minerals and proteins, nourishes the skin as opposed to attempting to strip it.

Then, of course, there is aging. Unfortunately, as we age we seem to lose fat in all the wrong places - like our faces. The layer of fat stored just below the first layer of skin decreases in size. The thickness is reduced by as much as 20%. With less fat to hold up our first layer of skin, the face begins to sag. Also, as we age, the collagen or protein in our skin shrinks and our skin becomes thinner and less elastic. Our skin oils naturally diminish and our skin often becomes more dry. There is also a diminishing of the matrix of blood vessels surrounding the oil and sweat glands. All this, along with collective free-radical damage both internally and externally contribute to the appearance of aging skin.

Only with a thorough and appropriate regime of nutritive dermal care can the skin regain its youthful vibrancy.

For many years we have known about the power of antioxidants for the inside of the body. Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Vitamin A have been researched for decades.

In more recent years we have been applying them directly to the skin with impressive results. Applying antioxidant vitamins and minerals directly has been shown to significantly reduce long term damage caused by environmental exposure, as well as promote natural self repair of some of the damage already done. An independent 8-year study done by a group of French scientists and dermatologists on the efficacy of topical skin, included the following comment from Serge Hercher, national coordinator of the study: "Topical antioxidants can benefit the skin significantly and play a protective role. And, more importantly, our final results determined that regular application of antioxidant vitamins to the skin not only inhibits environmentally induced damage to collagen caused by cumulative environmental exposure, but may also facilitate the repair of existing damage - the result of which is loss of elasticity which could lead to visible wrinkling and premature signs of aging" Daniel Maes, co-author of research protocol, said, "We already knew from working with cell cultures and artificial skin grown in the laboratory that antioxidants improved the skin's resistance to UV damage."

Within the Z Mei formulas you will find a combination of the finest antioxidants with the most technologically advanced and cleanest delivery systems available to help rejuvenate the skin. The Z Mei Skin Therapy System addresses dry and oily regulation as well as enhancement of the skin's collagen and protein matrix and elasticity. This system has a visible affect on unwanted wrinkles, sun damage, and discoloration. Our product line was created to restore youthful moisture and vibrancy, and rejuvenate the skin in the most clean and natural way possible. It is a myth that different skin types require so many different types of products, since the key is simply to restore the skin's natural balance as we age.
