New Jersey Medical Spa News: SkinCeuticals — One of Our Essential Products

SkinCeuticals is one of our essential New Jersey medical spa products and for good reason!  This product line allows us to offer our patients non-invasive and gentle treatment for sunspots, skin saturation, even skin tone and the infusion of rich antioxidants to keep the skin looking young and fresh.

The development of each SkinCeuticals formula is done with science in mind, thus making their products extremely popular with plastic surgeons and other medical spas across the country.

Here is some of the scientific product information listed on their website:

Antioxidant Serum- “The human body uses many internal antioxidant mechanisms to defend itself from oxidative damage, but excessive exposure to ultraviolet light as well as the natural aging process depletes the body of its internal supply of antioxidants. Antioxidants prevent oxidative damage by neutralizing oxygen-free radicals before they can attack the body. Some antioxidants are available to the body by oral ingestion, but many individuals do not achieve even the minimum daily requirement through diet or supplements. Furthermore, body control mechanisms tightly control the amounts available by oral ingestion to the cells. SkinCeuticals scientists and formulators have refined ways to stabilize and deliver additional amounts of key antioxidants into skin, thus adding to the body’s natural reservoir of antioxidants.”

Sunscreen- “Until the advent of recently-patented technologies, not one sunscreen existed that provided both substantial UVA and UVB protection without turning skin white. Recent scientific findings reveal that it is the long UVAI (340-400 nm) rays that cause photoaging. Only two sunscreen ingredients (zinc oxide and Parsol 1789) protect in this range, with zinc oxide being the preferred ingredient. By incorporating two innovative technologies (Z-Cote transparent zinc oxide and encapsulated octinoxate) in one sunscreen product line, SkinCeuticals provides superior sun care products for daily use.”

Skin Lightening- “The enzyme tyrosinase converts the amino acid tyrosine into melanin in the skin. Hyperpigmentation can result when too much melanin is produced. Ingredients such as arbutin, kojic acid, and thymol inhibit or suppress tyrosinase, preventing the appearance of additional pigmentation.”

Our aestheticians actually use these products on their own skin and highly recommend SkinCeuticals as a proactive way to keep the skin nourished and protected from sun damage.

Skin care products from  SkinCeuticals are also great for people that are allergic to most from topical ointments or aging treatments.  In fact, in the history of our New Jersey medical spa, we’ve never seen an allergic reaction to their products due to their gentle nature of their formulas.
