Medical Grade Skincare...and why you need it
You have probably heard about the so called magical skin-healing powers of department store serums. There is also that exclusive and very expensive cream discovered by a certain aerospace physicist which uses powerful ingredients from the ocean (BTW that one retails for over $400). We see those skin-transforming promises on billboards, commercials and magazines all over the world. Let’s FACE it, beauty is big business and it is everywhere. It’s hard to decipher what is true, what is best for you and what actually works with your skin. How can you sort out the difference between real actual results and powerful ad campaigns? Pure and simple, the best products have the best ingredients, at the appropriate strength and in correct combinations, all which are backed by clinical research studies. Not fancy ads or sneaky marketing tactics. There are some key differences between the skincare products that you will find at PHI and the ones you find browsing your local mall.
Did you know that by law, over the counter products cannot change the structure of your skin?
Sure, over the counter products feel nice and have pretty bottles, ads and celeb endorsements, but they are not allowed to penetrate deeper than the outermost skin layer called the epidermis. They sit on the surface of your skin and barely touch the deeper dermis layer where those collagen producing cells live. Medical grade skin care products contain a high concentration of active ingredients that are formulated to reach the deepest levels of your skin. This will help skin cell turn-over as well as encourage collagen and elastin production.
Medical grade skincare products must have clinical research studies to back up any claims about it’s benefits. No marketing dollars spent here, all proven science and real results. If you are dealing with acne, sunspots, or aging, you need skin care products that will penetrate the deepest level of the skin. A scary fact about over the counter products is that they are not required to have clinical studies done, which means the claims they make are not always proven to be true. You might have softer skin, but you aren’t doing a darn thing to enhance the quality of your skin.
Listen, you can find quality ingredients at department stores, but they are rare and you need to know what to look for. Watch for fillers, read the labels and their ingredient concentration levels. Oftentimes there are trace amounts of active ingredients, but they are surrounded by synthetic additives. Most of these big brand creams and serums contain wonderful ingredients, they just wont be the same concentration that you will find in ZO Skin Health or SkinMedica. Higher concentrations mean faster results and actual change.
Medical grade doesn’t necessarily cost more, as you can expect your product to last longer and your beauty cabinet wont be overflowing in bottles that just didn’t work. When selecting our skincare lines, we ensure that each product is high-quality, capable of guaranteeing results and is safe for our patients. Whenever we suggest a product for patients, we want that product to reflect us, and it needs to meet our high expectations.
