Victoria, BC - CFAX Radio host Patty Mack interviews Dr. Lupin on Fraxel laser therapy for aesthetic skin rejuvenation and sun damage correction.

Victoria, BC’s Cosmedica is pleased to announce SkinCeuticals Retinol .5% and 1% are repackaged and once again available.  In perfect timing for Fall skin repair, Retinol is recommended nightly to optimize collagen, exfoliate skin, combat blemishes and reduce pore size.  

For first time users of Retinol, Dermatologist Dr. Mark Lupin recommends beginning with 2-3 pea-sized nightly applications per week and increasing gradually to alternate or regular nightly applications as tolerated.  Allow a minimum of 30 minutes before applying moisturizer.

Cosmedica is pleased to offer complimentary skincare consultations.  For further information on Retinol or an alternative for your unique skin type, contact Cosmedica today.

As with all health-related concerns, prevention is key.  It is with great enthusiasm that Cosmedica welcomes the Clear + Brilliant laser - a new, gentle technology developed by the makers of the gold standard Fraxel laser.  In your 20s and 30s, the body’s ability to regenerate and exfoliate skin begins to slow.  Damage from environmental factors as well as inherent tendencies start to show; the skin appears less luminous as lines and spots begin to reveal.

Utilizing unique, fractionated laser technology, Clear + Brilliant transforms the beginnings of damaged, aging skin; skin tone and texture are improved and pore size is minimized.  This rejuvenating boost leads to healthier, more radiant skin.  To learn how Clear + Brilliant can be incorporated into your skin care routine for optimal defense against premature aging, contact us today.  Capture the radiance of youthful skin with Clear + Brilliant.

Clear + Brilliant (C + B) is also recommended as maintenance between Fraxel treatments.  Refreshing C + B treatments every 1-2 months will optimally maintain Fraxel treatment results and maximize the effects of at-home skin care.
