Getting Started With Dima Ali
Cosminology was created by Dr. Dima Ali, M.D.
and inspired by her personal sensitivity to harsh, over the counter and
prescription strength topical treatments. As a long-time acne sufferer
with a propensity for hyperpigmentation, Dr. Dima began to combine
varying strengths of potent, rejuvenating ingredients with natural,
anti-inflammatory botanical extracts and essential oils to treat her
own skin conditions and those of her patients.
Another one of her inspirations has been the
successful treatment of difficult scars that are often referred to her
by other dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons in the Washington, D.C.
area and internationally. The treatment of recalcitrant scars (from
trauma, acne or just persistent scratching from hypersensitivity) can
often take many months if not years to make a noticeable improvement.
Dr. Dima’s successful treatment of stubborn scars through the
synergistic combination of topical dermatological preparations and the
latest in laser technology is one of her most rewarding endeavors.
One of Dr. Dima’s “life defining moments” was during
the treatment of her own recent facial scar. During the research and
testing phase of new laser technology, Dr. Dima endured a “very
stubborn scar.” Her scar was healing slowly but surely with
Cosminology’s Dermacles Clinical Skincare
products. However, it was when she sought an effective yet natural and
hypoallergenic camouflage that Dr. Dima discovered the accelerated
healing of her scar. As she states: “it was like an overnight
miracle.” Dr. Dima began applying the “miracle” mineral powder to her
patients even immediately after laser or other cosmetic dermatological
procedures to cover the redness and other side effects. Even people
with acne noticed a significant improvement in their skin’s condition.
Dr. Dima admits that it was ultimately a combination of both art and
science that was the definitive cure. Nonetheless, as Dr. Dima
eloquently states:
We
talk about the connection between art and science, between quantum
physics and ‘universal forces,’ between healing energy and the latest
medical/surgical technology...But we must remember that the mind-body
connection is the most powerful of all of these in healing "dis-ease.”
I had to wonder how much of the accelerated healing of my scar was due
to my ability to effectively yet naturally cover it up which in turn
made me feel much better and less self-conscious.
Regardless, Dr. Dima believes that healthy, beautiful
skin empowers the individual to look better and feel better about
themselves whether they have an adverse skin condition or not.
Cosminology’s Dermacles Clinical Skincare and Minacles Clinical Mineral Coverage
are clinically, physically and emotionally healing. It began as a
decision to do what was best for her patients. It then became a very
personal desire to heal her own scar. Finally, it evolved into a more
"cosmic" desire to share this with anyone who can benefit. Dr. Dima
describes Cosminology as a “true labor of love” and, as she reminds her
patients who call her and her team “earth angels,” don't just believe
in miracles...expect them!
