Achieving Healthy and Beautiful Skin Doesn’t Have to Be a Mystery

 
 

How to get the healthy skin of your dreams

Whether you suffer from acne, pigmentation, redness or aging skin, there are solutions available to correct and create the skin of your dreams. While genetics play a role in skin quality, we are also believers that through simple skin care routines and targeted treatments, glowing skin is possible! Not sure where to start? Don’t worry we have you covered in these three steps!

1. Book a Consultation with a Dermatologist — The first step to getting your skin into shape is to develop a customised skin care plan with a Board-Certified Dermatologist. By consulting with a Dermatologist from the beginning, you are starting with the best information and an informed plan right off the top. This alone can save you the time, energy and ultimately the cost of self-guiding through trial and error. 

A Dermatologist completes a five-year residency (and many examinations) after medical school to obtain their board certification in dermatology. They know everything about the skin, the anatomy of the face and the changes that occur with aging. Dermatologists have also been at the forefront of pioneering and developing all the leading cosmetic non-invasive procedures done today.

If you have skin care conditions that require additional treatment or have questions, your Dermatologist is there to help and advise on next steps.

2. Corrective Treatments — Once you have been prescribed a skin care routine that fits your lifestyle and concerns, we can address any other issues you may have with your skin. Age spots, sun damage, redness, broken facial vessels and dull skin are conditions that can be addressed in the clinic with little or no downtime.

3. Protect your investment with medical grade skincare, year-round — A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin care problems- including the increased risk of skin cancer. Daily use of a minimum SPF 30 sunscreen can slow down the damaging effects of sun exposure-yes, even on cloudy days! By skipping sunscreen, the skin is not getting the full benefits from the skincare and facial treatments prescribed. Additionally, wearing daily sunscreen is the number one thing you can do to prevent early signs of aging. Don’t skip this essential step! 

With a plethora of (mis)information readily available through the internet and social media, it is more important now more than ever to seek out reliable and true sources of expertise when doing your initial research into potential skin solutions and anti-aging treatments. After all, your skin is an actual organ in your body — the largest one at that — and should be treated as one of your most precious assets.
