Skin Care Programs
Benefits/How It Works
Benefits:
Acquiring and maintaining healthy skin are important goals. At Cosmedica, a specific dermatologist prescribed skin care program is tailored for each patient’s particular needs.
How It Works:
Care of the skin involves protection from excess sun and the elements along with creams to correct past damage and stimulate the natural processes that lead to a healthier, more youthful appearance. Adjunctive skin care is critical to maintaining results. Vitamin A, C and E creams have rejuvenating and anti-oxidant effects Whereas traditional sunscreens need to be reapplied every 2-4 hours, vitamin C and E creams confer a low level protection for a full day – filling the gaps between sunscreen applications. At Cosmedica, we help direct the right balance of these for each individual’s skin type. We recommend only high quality creams.
