To help clear the confusion you may have regarding the abundance of products on the market, the aestheticians at the Aesthetic Wellness Center have found the most effective products and in-office treatments available to our clients. It is generally recommended that an appropriate cleanser, toner and moisturizer be used twice daily, with the addition of sunscreen in the morning. With recent advancements in skincare, there are now more options than ever. In order to effectively combat issues such as premature aging of the skin, there are three major areas that need to be addressed. They are exfoliation, hydration, and the use of topical antioxidants.
Exfoliation
This is a crucial step in quickly improving the appearance of fine lines and skin texture. Exfoliation can be achieved in a few ways. The most effective method is an in-office chemical peel, which offers a great deal of rejuvenation with little or no downtime. The AWC offers two types of peels the Illuminize Peel and the Vitalize peel, after having researched and tested many others. When performed by our aestheticians, these mild in-office chemical peels promote collagen formation, a crucial factor in maintaining younger looking skin, and improve dull, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and acne.
Schedule a complementary consult with one of our aestheticians to determine which peel best meets your specific needs and expectations. Once you reach your goals, it is necessary to incorporate regular exfoliation into your homecare regime to maintain those great results.
Hydration
The second component of having healthy skin is keeping it well-hydrated by using topical products and treatments. We all know that our skin feels more comfortable and looks better when it is properly hydrated. Recent studies confirm that there are indeed long-term benefits as well. They include less frequent breakouts, slower overall aging of the skin, and more even tone and clarity as we age. This is great news, as it proves that we have more control over the aging process than previously thought. SkinMedica has several moisturizers that contain various levels of hydration based on each individuals needs. As a boost to a daily skincare routine, we offer a relaxing and deeply hydrating treatment called "The Four-Layer Facial". The plumping effects are long lasting and it is especially beneficial during the dry winter months.
Topical Antioxidants
The third key to having healthy, glowing skin is regular use of physician strength antioxidant serums. We are pleased to offer many of the most effective, technologically advanced serums available, only available in physician's offices. One of the reasons serums offer more dramatic results than lotions and creams is that the molecules are much smaller, resulting in better penetration. Our serums target different problems including hyperpigmentation, redness, lackluster, dull skin and uneven texture. Improvement can usually be seen within four weeks.
One of our most popular antioxidants is our 15% Vitamin C Complex by SkinMedica. Great for all skin types, protects the skin all day from free radical damage, and improves overall tone and texture of the skin, as well as increasing cell renewal. It is the stability and potency of this formula that makes it so popular among our clients. Topical Vitamin C is thought to have anti-skin cancer and anti-age properties. Another favorite serum is by Skin Medica, called "TNS". This anti-inflammatory serum has become a favorite of the fashion world, as it receives many accolades in celebrity interviews and recognition in women's magazines.
Last, but certainly not least, the most important component of your skin care regimen is Retinol Complex by SkinMedica. This product keeps skin exfoliated by using three crucial vitamin A derivatives: retinyl palmitate, retinol, and retinyl acetate. These ingredients leave the skin more radiant and evenly complected and help minimize fine lines and sun damage, giving your skin a more vibrant, youthful appearance.
Acne Care
SkinMedica has designed a highly effective product line to treat oily, congested, and/or acne prone skin. These types of skin care issues can appear at any age and can be exacerbated by many factors. The SkinMedica acne system is unique in that it helps to reduce bacteria and remove excess oils and impurities, without causing irritation and inflammation that can leave the skin red and flaky.
Our aestheticians can recommend a comprehensive, customized program of in-office treatments combined with the appropriate home care to achieve your skin's maximum potential.
