Skin Care
As a dermatology practice, we want to offer our patients the best skincare
products available. They must be non-irritating, effective, and work with the
topical medicines that have been prescribed for you. That’s why Las Colinas
Dermatology offers handpicked lines of clinical-quality products that can be
used at home. These products, which are available only through physicians, meet
our strict standards, and we know they can make a real difference in the health
of your skin.
For our patients, we offer an initial consultation to select the products that
will work best with any skin condition and/or prescription medications to help
you reach your goals: clear skin, reduced brown spots and scars, less sun damage
and other signs of aging, better texture and elasticity, and better moisture
balance.
For these products to be effective, anti aging skin care treatment products must
address the real causes of wrinkles, sagging, fine lines, uneven pigmentation
and all of the other signs of aging.
Those causes are:
-
Higher levels of free
radical molecules within the skin's cells
-
Lower levels of
naturally occurring antioxidant-molecules to control the free radicals
-
Fewer new skin cells
being produced
-
Less protein to hold
the cells together
The best anti aging skin
treatment addresses all of these. Think of it as a health supplement for the
outside of your body, because if you look at these issues, you see that the
necessary ingredients are not unlike the nutrients in your daily vitamin.
The skin care lines I recommend are:
