Skinbetter in Northern Virginia
One of the best ways to maintain a glowing, smooth complexion is to take care of your skin. High-quality skin care products help protect your skin from the sun and environmental toxins and provide you with the nutrients and cosmeceuticals needed to promote the production of collagen and elastin. These are two protein molecules that are vital to firm and smooth skin.
As we age, collagen production declines, but with good skin care, you can maintain the collagen you have and potentially promote the production of more. Using items from the Skinbetter line of products can help support the overall health of your skin. Call VCPS to learn more about our Skinbetter offerings in Northern Virginia and Alexandria.
What Are Medical Grade Skincare Products?
There are differences between products you buy in department stores and those you purchase from your plastic surgeon. Medical-grade skincare products in Northern Virginia use quality ingredients in combinations with rigorously tested strength, such as those found in our Skinbetter products.
Medical-grade products are also backed by research studies that support the claims they make about the benefits. For example, over-the-counter skin care products can claim they contain vitamin C or retinol, even if there are only trace amounts of the active ingredients. Medical-grade products must have clinical studies that demonstrate the claims they make about vitamin C and retinol, which typically means the product has the right amount (higher concentration) of ideal ingredients.
Medical-grade products are also formulated to go deeper into the skin and thus can help boost collagen production. Over-the-counter brands generally only penetrate the outermost portion of the skin.
Skinbetter Skincare Can Make a Difference in Your Skin
Skinbetter is the fastest-growing professional skincare brand, and for good reason. The company opened in 2016 with products that help fight the visible signs of aging while protecting the skin from environmental toxins and sun exposure. The products are suitable for all skin types and help detoxify, restore, and brighten the skin using a combination of retinoids, lactic acid, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin b3.
All Skinbetter products we offer in Alexandria are dermatologist-tested and are paraben-free, fragrance-free, dye-free, and cruelty-free. Here are some of our favorites.
Techno Neck Perfecting Cream
This neck cream demonstrated significant results in a dermatologist-led clinical trial in patients with varying skin tones. The cream is applied twice daily, and participants in the study noticed significant results within the first 12 weeks.
The comprehensive formula takes advantage of the body's natural process to develop firmer and more resilient skin. By intensely hydrating the skin and working below the surface, the product improves laxity and skin texture.
Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment
Sometimes, the best treatment for your skin is a heavy dose of hydration without added weight. This moisturizer uses a patented, dermatologist-tested formula to bring back balance to aging skin. The product was tested in a dermatologist-led clinical trial. After eight weeks of applying the product twice daily, participants noted a significant change in fine lines and wrinkles.
Tone Smart SPF 68 Sunscreen Compact
Sun protection is crucial to help protect your skin and reduce the visible signs of aging, including sunspots or hyperpigmentation. This compact offers a high level of protection and a hint of blendable color that can be used as a primer under makeup or layered throughout the day for additional coverage. When used as directed with other sun protection measures, it can help prevent sunburn and reduce the risk of early skin aging and skin cancer.
Sheer SPF 56 Sunscreen Stick
This easy-to-carry stick offers a high level of sun protection in a weightless and transparent formula. It is an excellent way to carry your sun protection during recreational activities or throughout the day. The stick offers an invisible application that relies on cutting-edge science used when the product was created.
