We are going to simplify your daily skin care regimen and give you back both time and money. Optimal skin care is based on three basic principles: 1. Protect 2. Correct 3. Restore
1. Protect One of the most important aspects of skin care is photoprotection. Sun exposure adds up over the years and causes skin cancers, wrinkles and discolorations. A broad-spectrum sunblock or sunscreen with at least an SPF 15 should be applied every day, rain or shine, regardless of the season. Sunscreens contain chemicals that absorb ultraviolet radiation while sunblocks contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide that physically reflect and scatter ultraviolet radiation. In general, sunblocks tend to be less irritating and provide far better protection against both UVA (the “aging” ray) and UVB (the “burning” ray) compared with chemical sunscreens.
Our clinic has worked hard to provide clients with a full selection of the best sun protection products available. We have one to fit every skin type. For a detailed description of each of our sun protection products click here.
2. Correct The visible signs of aging skin, such as decreased clarity, progressive wrinkling, hyperpigmentation, roughness, and lack of tone, are largely due to chronic ultraviolet exposure and collectively referred to as “photoaging”. Retinoids, such as Retin-A, are relatives of Vitamin A and have been shown in many academic studies to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and brown spots. Over the course of years, the regular use of a topical retinoids may reverse photoaging. Retinoids help to normalize and correct sun-damaged skin cells and stimulate new collagen formation. After repeated application of a retinoid, the outermost skin layer (stratum corneum) thins. At the same time, the cells in the dermal level are stimulated to produce more collagen and thicken. The benefits of retinoids are only observed with long-term application, typically requiring six to twelve months of use before any significant improvement can be appreciated. Moreover, scientific studies have shown that ongoing use is needed to maintain efficacy.
Retinoids commonly cause flaking and dryness when first used. Over time and with consistent use your skin will adjust and the irritation subsides. A great way to begin using a retinol is with a more tolerable product such as Epionce®. The Lytic lotion when used in conjunction with an Epionce® Renewal moisturizer is tested and proven to be as effective as prescription strength Renova® without the dryness, redness or irritation.
The Epionce® Lytic Lotions reduce imperfections, uneven texture, clogged pores, dead skin cells, dry patches, and signs of aging. Featuring the patent pending EpiA™ and EpiB™ complexes, Epionce® Lytic Lotions thoroughly penetrate the skin to help clear blemishes while reducing redness and chronic inflammation.
Our dermatologists and skin care specialists can help determine which product is best for your particular skin type.
3. Restore Topically applied antioxidants can rejuvenate skin damaged by daily exposure to free radicals that cause cell damage and result in processes that lead to signs of aging. Applying an antioxidant such as our Epionce® Renewal products will provide superior antioxidant protection throughout the day to help restore your skin.
Epionce® formulas combine a highly effective delivery system with active botanical antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients in proven therapeutic concentrations. Epionce® is not made with just one key ingredient but several including Meadowfoam/Flax Complex, Date/Apple Fruit Extracts, Rose Hip/Safflower/Avocado Complex, and Essential Fatty Acid, Sterol Ceramide Precursors. These active ingredients penetrate deep into your skin cell layers helping to reverse visible signs of aging resulting in more youthful, healthy skin. Epionce® Renewal products also help block and prevent damaging inflammatory factors, which cause premature aging as well as reversing signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation while improving firmness, radiance and texture.
