Skin Care

Over time, the effects of sun exposure, environmental factors and natural aging conspire to make skin appear less smooth, healthy and youthful. Also, patients with acne, rosacea, eczema, or other conditions may be sensitive to many skin care products. Our office offers several skin care lines designed to address sun damage, acne and sensitive skin. Regular use of a good skin care regimen is the key to maintaining healthy, beautiful skin and preventing and reversing the damage caused by sun exposure. Dr. Black and her staff can help you design an effective regimen for your skin type, which can include over-the-counter products or more potent products such as those listed below. Call Las Colinas Dermatology for more information or to schedule a consultation.

Glycolic acid (alpha-hydroxy acid) products in formulas for oily, normal, and dry skin. Cleansers, creams, and lotions designed to gently exfoliate the top dead cell layer of skin to reveal smoother, fresher skin. www.mdforte.com

Milder anti-aging formulas that contain a mixture of antioxidants, DMAE to improve skin tone, and botanical extracts that have anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
