Medical Grade Skin Care
Your skin is the largest organ in your body. Medical grade skin care has a scientific evidence base to support the effects that are proven by dermatologists. It has pure, sometimes encapsulated, active ingredients at a therapeutic dosage which make cell changes within the skin. This means that they are scientifically proven to work and penetrate deep in the skin to treat, repair, and prevent many skin conditions. They cannot be purchased over the counter in shops or salons. They can only be provided by a registered and trained medical professional who has undergone brand specific training. Many of the products are prescription only products.
Medical grade skin care is a journey and requires review as your skin changes, with the seasons or improves and ages with time. As we age our skin cell turnover decreases and we lose collagen. Hormones affect our skin over time. Exposure to UV rays over the years and many more factors impact on our skin, including those that we have control over, and those that we don’t.
There are many skin concerns that we can treat with medical grade skin care including the physical signs of aging, dullness and laxity but also medical skin conditions such as acne, oily, dry or combination skin, large pores, scarring, rosacea and redness, pigmentation, melasma.
Medical grade skin care will often consist of potent active ingredients and powerful antioxidants such as retinol, tretinoin, arbutin, hydroquinone, vitamin C, vitamin E, niacinamide, peptides, ceramides, stem cell complexes, hyaluronic acid, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), Beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), glycolic acid, lactic acid and papain.
