Choosing the proper skin care routine

skin care routineThe most important thing about choosing a skin care routine is knowing your skin. There are many skin types and knowing yours will help you select the appropriate products. For instance, someone with sensitive skin may experience stinging/burning or reddening of the skin when products with a strong fragrance or harsh ingredients are applied. Another example is someone with oily skin should avoid heavy petroleum-based moisturizers and instead might try a light hyaluronic acid-based moisturizer. Knowing how your skin will react to certain ingredients is key to healthy skin and complexion.

Listed below are the 5 common skin types and characteristics of each.

  • Sensitive- red, itchy and dry
  • Normal- little to no sensitivity or imperfections such as visible pores or blemishes
  • Dry- red rough patches and a dull complexion
  • Oily- shiny complexion, large pores and skin blemishes
  • Combination- may be oily in certain areas of the face like the T zone but be normal or dry in other areas such as cheeks

Let’s talk Trusculpt 3D

TruSculpt 3DTrusculpt 3D is a nonsurgical, no downtime, radio frequency treatment used to melt pockets of body fat. It is perfect for those stubborn areas resistant to diet and exercise – like a double chin or fat around the abdomen and flanks. The average treatment time is between 30 minutes and an hour. Results can be seen in roughly 6-8 weeks. It takes 12 weeks to see the full results.

Why does it take weeks to see results? The radio frequency technology breaks down fat cells that take time to naturally absorb and flush out of the body. The treatment is virtually painless. It has been compared to a hot stone massage. Trusculpt 3D is not a replacement for a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Patients with a BMI less than 30 are the ideal candidate.

Rosacea

rosaceaRosacea is a common skin condition characterized by redness or flushing of the skin in the center of the face. It can slowly spread beyond the nose and cheeks to the forehead and chin. In some cases the ears, eyes, chest and back may be affected.

Rosacea is often mistaken for adult acne because of the pustules and papules that appear in crops on the face. Tiny blood vessels become more prominent with Rosacea as well.

It is important to seek treatment from a dermatologist as some over-the-counter and at-home treatments may worsen the condition.

Rosacea can be effectively managed with a combination of creams, lotions, washes, retinols and antibiotics.

If you have a tendency towards rosacea, it is important to protect your skin from the sun as sun exposure can cause flare ups. Spicy foods, hot drinks, stress and alcohol can also be triggers.

Chemical Peels

chemical peelChemical peels are a great way to exfoliate damaged skin cells to reveal smoother and more evenly pigmented skin. We offer a variety of chemical peels for all skin types and skin concerns. Our mild Beta peel helps open clogged pores and clear up acne.

Our most popular peel is the Vitalize peel. It is suitable for all skin types and noticeable results can be seen after just one peel. It helps clear acne and improves the appearance of hyperpigmentation, acne scarring and melasma.

And our most advanced peel – the Rejuvenize – uses advanced exfoliation to improve skin texture and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Our peels may be purchased as single treatments or in packages of three. We recommend a package of peels as you will get the best results with multiple treatments.
