magic skin elixirs?
"As with much of life, there are no 'magic pills' or 'silver bullets' that make everything better," confirms Dr. Janna Bentley, "And so it is with skin care and rejuvenation." Age, sun damage, skin conditions, acne scars etc. all require different approaches to achieve the best results for your particular skin. After a consultation with a physician, your current skin regime can be reviewed or, in many cases, a new skin treatment regime determined that suits you.
Safety & Efficacy
As a physician owned and operated skin care clinic, safety and effectiveness are two primary concerns. We have carefully selected products that meet these two goals. In addition, we care about value for our clients. For instance, the Obagi line of skin care products are very effective, but generally cost more than the SkinTx, Vivier, SkinMedica products with very similar ingredients and identical results.
Combination therapies for effective skin treatment
Dr. Mandy Wong elaborates, "In many cases, our experience in skin treatment – or medical evidence – determines that a blend of skin treatments with skin care maintenance via products – and avoiding sun damage – are the most effective."
For example, a middle aged women may notice she no longer looks as young as she feels, and is looking for a non-surgical solution with little "down time." Based on a consult with a doctor, a typical treatment regime could be as follows:
- Laser skin treatment or acid skin peel to rejuvenate and stimulate natural collagen.
- Botox and tissue fillers in a few areas to restore skin.
- A select few skin care products for daily maintenance.
The bottom line? Your treatment is individual, just like you, and requires a medical doctor to ensure you get safe, effective and good value skin treatment... and the process should be enjoyable!
