If you've visited my skin clinic in Needham Market, Suffolk - you'll know that I'm a huge advocate of medical-grade skincare and often prescribe products alongside treatments to get the very best results for you.
But why exactly is medical-grade skincare superior to products you'll find on the shelves on the high street?
Here's a quick run-down of the top-level facts associated with medical-grade skincare:
Medical-grade skin products contain active ingredients that have been rigorously and medically tested and proven to elicit cosmetic benefits.
Medical-grade products can only be prescribed and sold by a qualified and registered professional - this ensures that you're only using products that will benefit your skin and work for your skin type and any conditions you may be experiencing.
Medical-grade skincare has the exact, correct percentages of actives that have been tested to make effective changes to your skin.
Medical-grade skin products are made up of smaller-sized molecules. This enables the active ingredients to penetrate the deeper layers of skin - working at a cellular level - dramatically increasing their efficacy - high street products are not designed this way.
Medical-grade skin products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients than those you can purchase over the counter or on shelf. Medical-grade products use prescription-strength ingredients to promote your overall skin health.
The main benefit of using medical-grade skincare is that you have a professional consultation before they're prescribed - this means that I can assess your skin either in-person or virtually - ask you all sorts of questions about your skin, health and lifestyle and make suggestions for you that are completely tailored to you and what your skin needs. I can also provide some guidance on small lifestyle tweaks and additional treatments or supplements that will further help to improve your skin health.
This means you'll get the best possible products on the market for your skin, as we're all unique and our needs are all slightly different - promoting optimum skin health whilst helping you to look and feel your best.
