As our skin ages, several factors such as sun exposure, gravity, harsh drying agents such as soaps and make-up, and muscle motion can all combine to produce significant effects on our appearance. As skin tissues age, the tissues in the deeper layers of our skin break down and thin significantly. These changes results in typical signs of aging including wrinkles, lines, creases, spots, stretched pores, abnormal skin growths, pigmentation changes and changes in complexion. Medical skin care treatments can reduce these signs of aging to greatly improve the appearance of your skin.
Gupta Plastic Surgery provides individualized custom non-surgical skin care programs which are specifically tailored to your skin type and degree of aging. After your consultation, Dr. Gupta will recommend the best skin care regimen to dramatically improve the appearance of your skin. Medical skin care treatments differ from commercial "skin care" products which consist of only routine over-the-counter products with weak active ingredients and often no therapeutic value.
Skin care products have also been proven to be highly effective in preparing the skin for cosmetic facial surgical procedures, to improve healing and help maintain long-term results after surgery.
At Gupta Plastic Surgery, we are proud to highlight the Vivité® line of skin care products, developed by the makers of Botox® and LatisseTM. The various products in the Vivité® line are specifically designed to smooth skin, reduce blemishes, improve surface discoloration and rebuild collagen. These products are beneficial for both women and men.
VIVITÉ® skin care formulations are based on exclusive GLX Technology™, a formula matrix that acts as a catalyst for the penetration of glycolic compund bound with natural antioxidants. Glycolic compound is a complex, pH-balanced mixture of glycolic acid, ammonium glycolate, purified water and higher-molecular-weight oligomers of glycolic acid. No other skin care system offers you this powerful component. VIVITÉ skin care has GLX Technology throughout the product line in unique formulations that maximize the anti-aging benefits. The VIVITÉ skin care routine provides many benefits:
-
Stimulates the skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid and collagen
-
Stimulate the production of epidermal growth factor, which is vital to healthy, new skin
-
Antioxidants protect epidermal cells against destructive free radicals
