We understand how your skin is affected by age and environmental factors. We have specific solutions for the changes that occur as your skin ages. A healthy skin care regimen using daily skin care products as well as corrective skin care treatments can help slow or reverse your skin’s natural aging process.
As our skin ages, it loses much of the underlying tissue that made it as soft and supple as a child. Over time, collagen (the “glue” that holds elastin together) is depleted from the dermis. Collagen depletion makes our skin thinner and less supple and causes skin to sag and lose its resiliency. In addition, as we age, decreased blood flow to our skin results in slower healing. For post menopausal women, skin produces less protective oils so our skin dries out more easily.
Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and one of the most important. It regulates your body temperature, prevents harmful substances from entering, and provides a shield from the sun's harmful and damaging rays.
Most of us use soap and water to clean our faces without realizing that this may not be beneficial to us. While this leaves our skin with that “clean feeling,” soap is actually neutralizing our skins acid pH thereby stripping away our natural defense systems. Particularly for those of us that wash our faces more than two times a day because of a problem condition.
We have chosen professional skin care lines that are specifically formulated to help preserve, replenish, maintain and correct the proper pH of the acid mantle of the skin.
In addition to a daily skin care regimen, we also offer non-invasive medical treatments to combat and reverse the signs of aging. We have the ability to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, remove age spots and other types of pigmented lesions. We also combine prescription skin care to treat some of the most stubborn skin conditions.
