Your skin’s needs change as it matures. The products that worked for you 10 years ago may not be addressing what your skin needs now and in the future.
Medical-grade skincare is formulated with active ingredients at concentrations that deliver visible results. A personalized approach to skincare addresses your specific skin concerns and helps you get the most out of your regimen.
Before anything else, you need to understand your own skin.
HOW TO CHOOSE BASED ON YOUR SKIN TYPE
The first step in choosing the right products is to understand your skin. If you’re struggling with uneven tone, sun spots, or dullness, then products that address pigmentation and support cell turnover are the place to start. If fine lines, loss of firmness, or skin texture are your focus, look for products that stimulate collagen production.
The issue with choosing products on your own is that the wrong combination can work against you. Some active ingredients can interact with one another, and what works well for one person may not work for another. That’s where working with our licensed aestheticians makes a difference. Our aestheticians are trained to address skin concerns and understand that skin responds differently to products and ingredients, making a personalized recommendation all the more important.
Now that you have a clearer picture of your skin’s needs, the next thing to consider is which products are best equipped to address them.
WHY MEDICAL-GRADE SKINCARE MATTERS
The thing that separates medical-grade skincare from what you’d get at the corner drugstore is its concentration and formulation. Medical-grade products deliver active ingredients at clinically meaningful levels and use delivery systems that reach deeper layers of skin instead of staying on the surface. Additionally, medical-grade skincare products are available exclusively through licensed providers.
Over-the-counter products are readily available and can help support your regimen, but their active ingredient concentrations are limited by what is allowed for retail sale.
Medical-grade skincare uses scientifically backed ingredients and is formulated to target specific skin concerns. When used with your skin in mind, these products work to improve skin health, texture, tone, and appearance.
At Fort Wayne Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, our team offers professional skincare products from trusted medical-grade brands, including SkinMedica® and ZO Skin Health. These product lines are designed with skin health in mind and work well as part of a personalized regimen based on your individual needs and goals.
With consistent use, medical-grade skincare can provide professional-quality results and support healthier, more radiant-looking skin.
The right product is important, but how you use it matters just as much.
IMPROVING SKIN WITH A CUSTOM REGIMEN
Just using medical-grade products isn’t enough. How and when you use them matters, too. Build your skincare regimen around the products you’re using, their ingredients, and your individual skin needs. Combining the right products in the right order will give you the best results and enhance and maintain the results of your aesthetic treatments.
A personalized regimen involves layering products in a certain sequence. It starts with cleansing, moves through treatment products like serums and retinoids, and ends with moisturizer and SPF during the day. The order is important because some ingredients need to be applied to skin that’s clean and bare, while others work best when your skin has been prepped and hydrated.
A consistent at-home skincare regimen can also complement your professional aesthetic treatments. After procedures like microneedling, RF microneedling, or chemical peels, the right products can support your skin’s healing and help maintain those improvements. At Fort Wayne Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, our aestheticians can help you build a skincare plan that works alongside treatments designed to address your individual concerns and goals.
