The Benefits of Medical-Grade Skin Care

We’ve all purchased skincare products of varying degrees of quality at drugstores, but are the products that you can get from plastic surgeons in Atlanta really worth it? Take a look at these reasons to make a trip to your plastic surgeon:
Greater Potency
Medical-grade skincare products have higher concentrations of active ingredients. That’s why they must be administered under the direction of a physician. Their prescription-strength formulations produce more effective results than store-bought products.
Tested & Proven
Skincare product lines offered by physicians are developed through clinical research. Many also undergo clinical trials to test their effectiveness before making them available to patients.
Exclusive, Advanced Technology
Before advancements in skin care make it into over-the-counter products, they usually start out in products only available from a physician. Others may never make it to your favorite store. To get the latest technology for skin health, look to physician-dispensed skincare products such as Obagi® and SkinCeuticals.
Professional Medical Guidance
When you go to a store, even a specialty skincare retailer, you don’t have the benefit of asking a medical expert about what skin regimen is right for you. When you visit a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist, you’re receiving medical advice from someone who uniquely qualified to evaluate your skin and provide recommendations.
