The end result is to improve cellular turnover for a clearer, firmer, and more even skin tone. Fourteen products make up this system, including physician-prescribed Tretinoin at 0.05% or 0.10% concentrations.

Seven products make up this system with ingredients from hydroquinone, alpha hydroxyl acid, and micronized zinc oxide, to octinoxate.

• ELASTIderm® Eye Treatment utilizes a bi-mineral complex, malonic acid, and rich emollients to replenish elastin around the eyes and then mediates an elastin-collagen synergy to achieve functional elasticity. Reductions in wrinkles appear in as little as two weeks, depending on the person.

• ELASTIderm® Décolletage specifically targets the neck and chest to address hyperpigmentation, age spots, freckles, fine lines, and wrinkles. The end result is a revitalized, radiant, more flawless and youthful glow. Two products make up this system with ingredients from 4% hydroquinone, Restorative Elasticity Complex, and a bi-mineral complex, to malonic acid. This system is sold as a package.

• CLENZIderm M.D.® is designed to reduce acne quickly in normal-oily and normal-dry skin types. Three products make up the system for each skin type, with ingredients such as 2% salicylic acid, 5% benzoyl peroxide, and menthol. The normal-oily system is for patients preferring gels, while the normal-dry system is for patients preferring lotions. This system is sold as a package.

• Rosaclear™ is a prescription based, non-comedogenic, dermatologist and allergy tested, anti-inflammatory and light-reflecting skincare system to treat erythema, blotchiness, acne-like pimples, overly sensitive skin and rosacea.

SkinMedica®

SkinMedica® (mid-1990s, San Diego, CA) leverages an effective synergy between aesthetics and science to offer a superior anti-aging product line. By focusing on growth factors, the science behind SkinMedica® innovatively targets the epidermis at the cellular level. Backed by years of impressive and extensive clinical research, the product principles follow six steps, each with a number of products specific to your skin type.

The following are the six (6) steps of the SkinMedica® product line:

* Cleanse consists of four products depending on your skin type, to clear away dirt, make-up, and pollutants without compromising the skin’s moisture balance. The end result is to enable better absorption of other skin treatments. Depending on the product, ingredients include salicylic acid, botanical extracts, or ultrafine jojoba spheres.

* Tone consists of two pH balanced products to freshen, clarify, and refine the skin for all skin types. Depending on the product, ingredients include alphahydroxy acids, salicylic acid, tea tree oil, or willow bark extract.

* Skin Rejuvenation consists of two products for all skin types that utilize physiologically balanced growth factors, multiple antioxidants, matrix building peptides, amino acids, skin brighteners, calming and soothing agents, and essential skin nutrients to effect a natural cellular rejuvenation of the epidermis. Products from this step are necessarily essential not only to any anti-aging regimen, but also to the effective biological normalization of healthy skin, with effective results within one month and marked improvement within three months.

* Age Defense consists of thirteen products (four for the face, three for the eye area, two for the lips, and four for post-procedure) to address skin tone, texture, firmness, puffiness, fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, lip volume, and to maximize results from CO2 and fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing and deep chemical peels. Key ingredients include vitamins A, C, and E, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, depending on the product.

* Moisturize consists of eight products to restore hydration and revitalize skin tone and texture. Key ingredients include vitamins A, C, and E, alpha-beta-hydroxy acids, and growth factors blended with antioxidants.
