The Importance of Medical Grade Skincare

Whether you already follow a regular skin care regimen, or you’re just getting started with proper skin care, we’re here to guide you. Afterall, the best way to keep your skin healthy and youthful-looking is to, well, take care of it! You can get extra help and address your individual concerns with the customized treatments we offer here at Raval Facial Aesthetics and Rocky Mountain Laser Aesthetics. However, if you don’t give your skin dedicated daily attention, any treatments beyond regular skin care probably won’t produce the best possible results.

Product Quality Makes a Visible Difference

Over-the-counter skin care products can’t deliver the results you want. Why? There are a couple of big reasons:

Wrong Products

Just because a popular social media influencer or ad recommends a particular product doesn’t mean it’s exactly what your skin needs. Yes, ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, retinoids, peptides, vitamin C, etc. are good for the skin. But everyone’s skin is different. So the ingredients that will do the most for you aren’t necessarily the same as what someone else needs or recommends.

Weak Formulation, Extra Ingredients

Safety is paramount, so pharmaceutical companies selling over-the-counter products – by law – are limited in the strength of active ingredients they can use. Medical grade skin care has these ingredient percentages listed on the bottle, drug store products typically won’t give a percentage of the active “best-sellers” ingredients like retinols. In addition, it isn’t always clear what all of the inactive ingredients are. Sometimes there are dozens of ingredients listed on a bottle, but no explanation of what those actually are or what they may do to your skin. That’s important information!

So, no matter how much time you spend in the skin care aisle and how hard you try to do the right thing, your skin may not be getting the restorative or maintenance benefits you hope for.

Medical grade skin care products can produce better, faster and more predictable results. It’s as simple as that.

What’s So Great About Medical Grade?

These products are available only from a licensed medical professional – someone who recommends the product specifically for your skin and monitors your use of them. So they can be safely formulated with higher concentrations of essential ingredients. 

Yes, they cost more than drugstore brands, we won’t hide that from you. The payoff is that you’re getting more of what you need most without additives that are just filler or may even be harmful for your skin. Dr. Jeffrey Raval and our team of professional aestheticians have the expertise to properly evaluate your skin and recommend the combination of products that will have the greatest positive impact on your skin’s health.
