My job is to help you look and feel great for as long as possible.
It’s also very gratifying when I get letters from those who take the time to write to me. This week my patient Gloria M. sent me a letter that makes me even more determined to keep doing what I do. Here’s what she wrote:
I attended a seminar where the staff from the Dr. Sears Health and Wellness Center were offering Botox treatments. I had always wanted nice, arched eyebrows and I hated that mine were dead straight across. Immediately from the treatment, I had the arched eyebrows that I had always wanted. I love my eyebrows now.
That success inspired me to ask about the horrible, fine lines [and] wrinkles on my upper lip. After many years of smoking, my upper lip looked old and withered. The solution was Renew SCII.
After only a few weeks, I started seeing real results. The lines were fading and the wrinkles were going away. First, my daughter noticed. She told me that my lip was getting a lot smoother.
Then my boss noticed. It was a real difference and it made me feel great and a lot younger.
I am widowed and I have been dating the same man for a number of years. At 70, it is important for me to feel attractive. It’s great for my confidence and I think my health as well.
I have experienced several clinics and medical offices, and I have never had any experience that was as friendly and caring as your Health and Wellness center. The staff is great. They take their time, and it’s clear that they care.
My experience was so positive that I recommended you to my daughter. For years, she had a deep indentation at the top of her nose between her eyes. She was so embarrassed by it that she hated looking in the mirror. It only took one treatment for you to fix it, and I cannot tell you how excited and pleased she is about it. It has done wonders for her confidence.
I am going to continue to be a regular. My next project is losing weight, and I am very confident you have a solution that will get rid of the fat that’s been building around my middle and on my thighs.
I would recommend your Health and Wellness Center to anyone.

I wish everyone lived close enough to my Wellness Center to have the same experience Gloria and her daughter had. But even if you can’t come to South Florida, you can still lift, firm and smooth your skin.
Gloria Mooney Before/After Success With Renew SCII
Gloria used my Renew SCII serum, and the wrinkling around her mouth improved dramatically.
Until very recently, damage like that couldn’t be fixed without medical procedures. But that’s changed. A new discovery has allowed us to help skin repair and rejuvenates itself naturally.1
It involves a special type of cell sleeping in the deepest layers of your skin. These stem cells only wake up when they’re needed, to repair serious damage at the surface.
But as you age, the supply of these sleeping cells dwindles. Your skin can’t heal as quickly. The wrinkles start winning the battle.
We’ve now discovered a way to boost those stem cells. We use molecules extracted from two different plants. One is a rare Swiss apple called an Uttwiler Spätlauber. The other is an alpine daisy known as Globularia Cordifolia.
These extracts stimulate your skin cells to rally their own natural anti-aging defenses.
Lab studies show the apple extract can DOUBLE the number of skin stem cells available for repairs. When the apple extract was applied to the faces of volunteers, 100% of them saw their wrinkles noticeably disappear in just 28 days.2
The alpine daisy extract had similar results. It was able to preserve 2.3 times the number of stem cells. In a French study, women using the daisy extract improved the appearance of dull skin by 67% compared to placebo. They also reduced skin inflammation and sensitivity by 23%. The extract helped restore the natural glow to their complexions.3
These extracts are brand new anti-aging ingredients. I added both to my Renew SCII serum.
But there’s something else I added that helped Gloria smooth out the wrinkles around her mouth. It’s called panthenol.
It’s a vitamin B5 precursor that your body then converts to actual vitamin B5, pantothenic acid (PA). PA helps skin cells regenerate and repair themselves.
PA also increases your levels of glutathione, the body’s most powerful antioxidant. Glutathione protects skin cells against free radical damage. It also prevents damage from excess sun, pollution or environmental toxins. All of that helps reduce age spots and wrinkles.
You can get panthenol from food. The richest sources are liver, kidney, beef, and egg yolks. Fish, shellfish, pork, chicken, dairy, mushrooms, avocado, and sweet potatoes are also good sources.
Your body also produces vitamin B5 using your gut bacteria. But your levels can get depleted from eating processed foods or drinking alcohol. Antibiotics, stress, allergies, and pregnancy can also cause a deficiency. So you may want to take a supplement.
The Recommended Daily Amount set by the government is 10 mg. But that’s way too low. I recommend 250–500 mg per day.
To Your Good Health,
Al Sears, MD
