SKIN CARE PRODUCTS
Science is advancing the cosmeceutical and cosmetic industry. There are a number of topical therapies that will be recommended for rejuvenation, or for specific skin problems. These will be prescribed or recommended because evidence exists to support their value in your treatment plan. The spectrum of proven anti-aging products is increasing, with exciting prospects. The products are usually fairly simple, with one or two active ingredients in a base cream/gel/serum. The mechanisms of inducing the anti-aging or therapeutic effect are varied, but the final common pathway leads to more attractive skin.
Most research indicates that combining therapies with different mechanisms produces results that are greater than the expected sum of the parts. That is, there is an advantage to combining products with diverse mechanisms and common final pathways, because they converge with a greater impact compared to single use. For example, combining microdermabrasion with topical Vit A acid derivative (prescription anti-aging topical therapy) enhances the effect of the topical by removing the thick surface layer and permitting better penetration of the active ingredient into the site of action within the deeper layers. And priming the skin cells with a stimulating nutriceutical or pharmaceutical will enhance the response of skin to the stimulation of microdermabrasion. In short, the skin care products prescribed or recommended for your therapy have been clinically proven to be safe and beneficial. And the therapeutic approach is multifaceted to achieve optimal results.
There are several skin care cosmetic lines available at Nirvana. These lines are selected for you on the basis of active ingredients and proof of benefit. Most of these are physician lines, because they have ingredients that require supervision. There is also a botanical line that is suitable for those with “sensitive skin”. The field of cosmetics is complex, especially for the consumer with little time to research the products. Most consumers spend a considerable amount of money trying to address their cosmetic skin problems with retail lines of skin products. These may have benefited your skin, but perhaps not to your satisfaction, and perhaps at considerable expense. The medical director at Nirvana has made every effort to remain current with the field of rejuvenation, and accordingly has made selections of skin care cosmetics that comprise biologically active ingredients with some basis for validity of claims. Some, but not all, of these products have been clinically studied as a compound, but some have ingredients that have individually been proven effective. So, choosing a cosmetic line is difficult at the best of times, but it helps to choose one with some biologic rationale based in science. Nirvana has tried to do that for you.
