A good daily skin care routine is essential for the appearance and health of the skin. At home, products can be used to maintain what the patient has already achieved through other treatments, to prevent future damage, or to enhance procedures or treatments preformed in the office. Dr. Stetler's office carries several different product lines to promote the health of the skin. This is a sample of some of the product lines she recommends. Please contact our office for a complete listing. SkinCeuticals® offers a line of vitamin-C formulations which will dramatically help improve skin tone and elasticity. Researchers have shown that topically applied vitamin-C can improve the appearance of skin damaged by photoaging. SkinCeuticals® topical vitamin-C, with its antioxidant properties, will help attack free radicals and prevent future signs of aging while it renews elasticity and firmness to the skin. This product line carries a variety of products suitable for all skin types. SkinCeuticals® offers a line of sun protection products with the broadest range of UVA/UVB protection available. They contain two patented technologies, including z-cote® and sunCaps® to help prevent sun damage. The Obagi Nu-Derm® products are a unique line of cleansers, toner, and creams designed to complement the benefits of tretinoin (Retin-A) therapy. The Obagi System® combines specially developed products with medical supervision and counseling to treat the skin from the inside out. These products work on the surface to smooth roughness and correct pigmentary irregularities. They work underneath to stimulate cell renewal, improve circulation, and restore moisture. Skin Medica Skin Medica products are comprised of natural growth factors, antioxidants, matrix proteins, and soluble collagens that help restore what time takes away. This system provides improved elasticity, reduced wrinkle depth, and enhanced skin texture without burning, peeling, or irritating the skin surface. Neova The Neova line from ProCyte uses copper peptide as its key ingredient. Scientific studies have clearly defined a role for copper in the regulation of growth, development, and function of the human body. Copper specifically helps with wound healing, and is a powerful collagen and elastin promotor which is important in slowing the signs of aging. MD Forte® is a line of topical glycolic acid products. This line promotes and maintains healthy, youthful-looking skin by gently lifting away the outer, dry, surface layer of the skin. These products help to smooth the complexion and even out skin tones, giving the skin a nice radiant glow.
