At the Spa @ WDC, we are always happy to work with patients seeking treatments to address signs of aging, repair sun and environmental damage, and restore a naturally youthful look. While we have a wide range of highly effective treatments available, all of them can be made more effective with help from medical-grade skincare. Our Albuquerque-based team explains that caring for your skin between appointments helps results to last longer—and can provide a healthier, more consistent radiant glow in your everyday life.
Why does the medical-grade distinction make a difference? The short answer is that not all products are made the same!
Over-the-counter serums, creams, and other products can have some effect, but they simply aren’t as powerful as the options available from medical practices. Furthermore, anyone can buy a moisturizer or cleanser, but that doesn’t mean the specific brand or formulation you choose would be best for your skin, the time of year you’re applying it, or the results you are seeking. We would like to stress that medical-grade skincare is highly regulated, so companies are able to formulate at higher potencies and use delivery methods to help the products penetrate deeper.
Choosing a medical-grade skincare product starts with a meeting with a member of our team, who knows the intricacies of our product menu, as well as what to look for and ask in regard to your skin quality, medical history, lifestyle, and other details.
When it comes time to choose specific products, we offer several highly regarded and rigorously tested brands. SkinCeuticals® focuses on repairing damage, protecting the skin’s health, and then protecting against future environmental damage. The line emphasizes healing and rejuvenation via potent natural ingredients. PCA Skin has many options, with a leaning toward highly effective peels and daily skincare. We also carry products from acne-fighting Face Reality and scientifically advanced and dermatologist-tested skinbetter science.
Which of these options would be best for you? You can always browse the available products on our website, which organizes everything based on specific skin concerns, individual collections or systems, and brand. We even have a section that highlights skincare products made especially for men!
Of course, we are always happy to work with you directly to help you get the most out of incorporating medical-grade products into your daily regimen.
