Medical-grade Skincare. Why it Matters?
Texture, pore size, brown spots, blemishes, fine lines, and wrinkles - we all have experience with some of these issues in our lifetime. Wherever we look, we see a variety of available products - social media, storefronts, TV advertisements. We have aimlessly walked the aisles of our local drugstore, Ulta or Sephora only to be more confused than when we walked in. We get distracted by the pretty bottles, the targeted marketing, and let’s be honest, the lower price point. I have been guilty of this in the past - trying several brands over the years but not appreciating any noticeable improvements in my skin. I walked blindly in those aisles paying for products that were not truly serving me.
Fast forward to my position in Dermatology, where I provided care for a multitude of issues for over 3 years. I enjoyed diving deep into skin anatomy, attending yearly Dermatology conferences, and studying the science behind targeted treatments. This knowledge changed the way I looked at skin health, self-care, and aging gracefully.
But what if I told you that you can have healthy, vibrant, glowing skin by consistently using high-quality, medical-grade ingredients?! Are you already throwing away your old skincare items and making room for new and improved products? I promise you, it is a game changer and the reason why I recommend making the switch.
Medical-grade skincare products are only sold by licensed healthcare professionals. As an experienced licensed healthcare provider, we can make recommendations tailored specifically to target your concerns. These products are not available at your local chain stores, so you will need to visit a licensed healthcare professional to access these items.
Medical-grade skincare products have higher concentrations of active ingredients making them more potent than over-the-counter products. This helps you achieve results quicker than you would with other non-targeted products.
Medical-grade skincare products are regulated by the FDA to maintain 99% pure ingredients and do not contain filler or impurities. Over-the-counter products have no such regulations.
Medical-grade skincare products have proprietary advanced delivery systems that allow for the penetration of active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin. This means that products you apply to the face, neck, and décolleté will reach the targeted areas in the skin. We wouldn’t want to invest in products that sit superficially on the skin and provide no added benefits, would we?
Medical-grade skincare products are clinically proven to address specific skin concerns and repair and prevent further damage from environmental stressors. Brilliant scientists are coming up with new and innovative ways to improve their products. As a result, they spend a lot of time and money performing clinical research trials to prove the safety and efficacy of their products. As a result of this research, medical providers who recommend medical-grade skincare products can ensure patients will see improvements with consistent use.
I hope that this information clarifies why medical providers prefer to use high-quality, medical-grade ingredients and that we convinced you to consider making the switch.
