Medical Skin Care (see also
Products)
Medically guided skin care is a highly effective way to
improve your skin. Medical skin care goes far beyond
department store creams and moisturizers. The daily
application of physician prescribed or dispensed skin care
products can be used alone or in combination with light or
medium chemical peels, microdermabrasion and laser treatments.
All of these treatments help even out irregular skin
pigmentation and
improve fine wrinkles and surface irregularities. Acne
is generally improved, too. The end result is smoother,
firmer skin with a healthier glow. Medical skin care
greatly enhances the results of facial cosmetic surgery.
Non-surgical enhancements which complement skin care include
Botox, Restylane, Laser hair removal to permanently reduce
unwanted hair, and micropigmentation which allows medical
grade tattoo application for permanent eyeliner, lip liner,
full lip color and scar camouflage. All of these
services are offered at The Plastic Surgery Center of Dallas
for improvements with little or no down time.
TOPIX SKIN CARE LINE The Topix skin care line smells
good, applies smoothly, doesn't affect makeup application, is
highly effective and very inexpensive. We've tried a
number of slickly packaged, overpriced products. They
all seem to work equally well but some are "greasier" and many
have "scents" that aren't for everyone. Most involve
multiple steps and just aren't convenient. We believe in
simple, cost effective skin care program with a good cleanser
followed by a high potency glycolic acid or Vitamin C
containing product which applies invisibly. Moisturizer
is optional depending on your skin. Sunscreen is a must.
Retin-A is highly effective, too. We will design the
most simple program possible to effectively improve your skin.
These products are potent and are only available through a
physician. SKIN CARE OPTIONS DHR -
We have this cream specially prepared by a California
pharmacy. It contains a very high potency bleaching
cream (10% hydroquinone) to improve blotchy brown pigment and
to lighten dark scars. It's mixed with Retin-A to
accelerate the bleaching effects and cortisone to sooth the
skin, since this is very potent. TOPIX PRODUCTS AND RETIN-A -
As we age our skin thins and weakens. The outer layer of
cells gets drier and begins to "cake up", creating a duller,
paler look. It's almost like dust collecting on
furniture. Topix skin products and Retin-A free up the
dry adherent cells helping to reveal the deeper, shinier
layer. The dull hue is gradually replaced by a younger
"rosier" surface appearance. Additionally, these
products thicken and rejuvenate the underlying collagen, much
like weight lifting affects muscle fibers. The results
continue to improve for many months. Ultimately the skin
tightens and fine lines soften. It's important to stick
with it. The peak effects takes time and the benefits
gradually fade when skin care is discontinued.
