What types of Skin aging do you treat?
Skin aging is an inevitable process that affects us all as we mature. When we glance in the mirror, we might notice the signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, sagging, and more visible pores. This aging journey of our skin is a blend of natural progression and external influences. Intrinsic aging, driven by time, leads to the skin becoming thinner and drier, with increased wrinkles and a gradual thinning of the dermis, where essential components like collagen and elastin reside. Extrinsic aging, on the other hand, is propelled by factors like sun exposure, pollution, smoking, and poor nutrition, which collectively contribute to the emergence of coarse wrinkles, decreased elasticity, laxity, and a roughened texture. If you're seeking ways to combat these signs of skin aging, our online consultation offers the following skin goals to consider: Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Minimizing the visibility of pores Enhancing skin texture
What are the benefits of prescription ingredients?
Utilizing expertly formulated combinations of active ingredients crafted by physicians, our personalized treatments are crafted to halt and even reverse the signs of aging. We harness active ingredients with decades of research supporting their efficacy in combating visible signs of aging and pigmentation while simultaneously working to rejuvenate and brighten your skin. If you qualify for treatment, your personalized solution may incorporate a blend of Retinoic Acid, Niacinamide, and Azelaic Acid. Retinoic Acid stands out as one of the most potent ingredients for addressing skin aging. It effectively slows the advancement of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation while also possessing the ability to reverse these concerns. Retinoic Acid functions by thickening the epidermis, reducing pigmentation, and restoring sun-damaged skin cells. Additionally, it stimulates collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans production in the dermis, resulting in plumper skin. Niacinamide, a robust antioxidant, boasts excellent skin tolerance. It is scientifically proven to diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation while enhancing hydration and elasticity. Serving as an effective anti-inflammatory agent, Niacinamide minimizes the risk of irritation commonly associated with potent ingredients like Retinoic Acid. Azelaic Acid emerges as a formidable opponent against pigmentation, slowing melanin production and combating conditions like melasma and pigmentation caused by sun damage and acne.
How do I use the active ingredients?
Nurturing your skin is a commitment, not just a passing fancy. In your initial personalized solution, we begin with lower concentrations of active ingredients to allow your skin to adjust gradually and minimize the risk of irritation. Over the first few months, your ingredient concentrations will increase working hard to treat, defeat and reverse the signs of skin aging. Along your treatment journey, should questions arise, our Physician Support Team is readily available with answers and assistance. Simply reach out, and we'll be by your side every step of the way.
How long does it take to see results?
Individual responses vary, and while many individuals typically observe results within 2-3 months on average, others may notice visible changes in the mirror sooner than expected. Following six months of treatment, we'll extend an invitation for a Progress Checkup. If you're satisfied with your results, your Prescriber will craft a personalized solution aimed at sustaining your clear and healthy skin while also preventing future signs of aging. Throughout your treatment journey, we remain dedicated to guiding you and continually evaluating your progress. Should adjustments to your treatment plan be necessary, rest assured, we'll be here to facilitate them.
