Skin Care Regimens
Maintenance of your aesthetic results achieved by non-invasive procedures done in the spa is key and requires a skin care regimen tailored to your skin care needs. Whether it be anti-aging or acne or hyperpigmentation prevention, each consultation includes suggestions for a skin care regimen to maintain results. We prefer PCA, Obagi, SkinMedica, and Precision skin care lines and products to maintain results in between treatments.
The skin care regimen depends on your age and skin care needs. Most often, we recommend a cleanser, toner, exfoliant, serum, eye creams, moisturizer, and sunscreen. These products should be hypoallergenic (less risk of an allergic reaction) and non-comedogenic (does not clog pores and cause acne).
In addition, it is important to take care of your skin by drinking enough water, taking skin and nail vitamins and supplements to improve elasticity, avoiding sun damage by wearing sunprotection and sunscreen, and avoiding excessive alcohol and caffeine. It is also important to stop smoking which is a common cause of premature aging.
