Medical Grade Skin Care Products

Complimentary Consultation 

The skin is the largest organ of the body. Over time, it sustains damage from the effects of aging and factors in our environment. When skin is young, it works at peak performance and continuously repairs itself. As we grow older, these repair mechanisms grow weaker. That is when we begin to see signs of damage such as thinning of the epidermis and dermis, coarsening of the skin, enlargement of pores and loss of suppleness.  We need to protect and maintain our skin with skin care products that are beneficial and not harmful to the skin.

Let us tell you about a well-kept secret - medical grade skin care products. The reason these products are such a secret is that they are not marketed in the media in order to keep the prices relatively low. They are provided through specialty physicians only.

Changing your daily skin care regime is one of the most important changes you can make for your skin. Skin care products that are provided through physicians only actually have active ingredients that can improve the quality of your skin. These are ingredients such as AHA's, (Alpha Hydroxy Acids such as glycolic or lactic acid act as exfoliants), Retinol (Vitamin A), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant), and Matrixyl (stimulator of collagen) to name just a few. The reason these products are not covered by your drug plan is because "Cosmeceuticals" are mixed with special cosmetic ingredients to combat side effects. You can therefore enjoy the benefits of pharmaceutical active ingredients without the potential side effects. There is usually no redness, dryness, flaking, or irritation that you would see with the same strength of active ingredient in a prescription cream.

At glow Medi Spa, we carry several lines of medical-grade skin products. We will assess your skin and suggest appropriate products to suit your skin type and sensitivities if any. Try it and soon you will also be sharing this well-kept secret with your best friends.
