A smooth, clear complexion is one of the most important attributes of physical attractiveness. As we get older, however, maintaining healthy skin and a clear, youthful complexion becomes harder and harder. This is especially true when it comes to the face. As the most exposed part of your body, your face is vulnerable to the destructive rays of the sun, acne, rashes, allergic reactions and a whole range of injuries and incidents that can leave visible permanent scars.
The good news is that there are all kinds of commonly used treatments that can help.
The following are skin care products available at our Clinic, along with various sunscreens:
SKIN CARE PRODUCT LINE
One of the treatments available that eliminate or soften imperfections on facial skin and create a clearer, fresher look is glycolic acids. Sometimes referred to as “fruity acids”, these natural fruit substances blended into facial preparation can eliminate rough or dried-out surface skin. Regular use of glycolic acid containing products has been demonstrated to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and age spots.

Research has shown that vitamin C is an essential nutrient for your body, including your skin. Vitamin C is required for the formation of collagen. In fact, it may stimulate the growth of new collagen while providing added protection for the skin from ultraviolet rays and free radical damage. This cream and serum improve skin texture, tone and appearance. Apply sparingly to the face after cleansing. These products will block cellular destruction by the sun and remove fine wrinkles.

This layer is thought to moisturize the skin, reduce capillary irritation and allow the skin to return to its normal texture and color. Scarfade is to be applied in a thin coat and massaged gently into the skin. It is designed for use on all cuts, scrapes and burns once the skin is healed.
