How To Turn Back Time With the Right Skin Care

Often clinicians at med spas, with years of experience, working with patients getting skin treatments done on a regular basis see people who are not necessarily taking the important steps to use proper skin care at home. Most people buy skin care over-the-counter at different times without consulting with their clinician first. These at home products may be counterproductive in achieving the desired goal if the skin care does not compliment the treatments done at their med spa.
Clearly, prescription strength skin care from a doctor’s office extends the effects of any treatment provided in office, whether it is a laser, radio frequency or needling treatment. To reverse the signs of aging and correct any skin issues, three to six treatments with four-week increments are recommended. It then requires only a few treatments each year due to the natural aging process.
Patients see great success in mixing either needling treatments with radio frequency or laser treatments with needling. These procedures speed up the renewal process of aging cells, build new collagen, brighten dark spots and help tighten the skin.
Proper skin care is important because our skin is the largest barrier against infection and aging that we have. Keeping our skin healthy and moist helps keep this barrier strong. When the skin gets dry and irritated by harsh soaps or the wrong products, skin cracks can occur and this makes us more prone to infection.
Skin care is the range of practices that support skin integrity, enhance its appearance and relieve skin conditions.
It is just as important to wear sunscreen in the winter as it is in the summer. It protects you from the sun’s rays – specifically ultraviolet light – that can damage cells. The correct skin care is necessary when being exposed to the winter weather. Having healthy skin also helps your body keep its temperature at a constant level.
