The Importance of At-Home Skin Maintenance

Though the skin is the largest of all the organs, it is often the most overlooked, especially in our earlier years. With the exception of acquiring some type of chronic or recurrent skin condition, it is common to neglect a deeper care for our skin until perhaps time moves forward and we see signs of aging. 

The significant benefits of seeking professional skincare treatments should not be underestimated. There are many options available for a multitude of skin concerns. These range from IPL for unsightly dark spots, laser hair reduction for unwanted body hair, microneedling or sublative treatments for acne scars, or peels, radiofrequency and many more for aging, sagging skin.

What many individuals fail to recognize is the importance of an at-home skincare regimen.

The products we introduce into our skin on a daily basis, in the privacy of our homes, is vital to both maintaining and preventing the issues that will plague our skin over time. A proper skincare routine at home will also protect the investment every individual makes when they receive professional treatments at regular intervals.

Proper skincare forms the foundation for healthy skin, as well as maintains results from professional treatments while addressing common concerns such as acne, dehydrated or dry skin, sun-damage and visible aging concerns like fine lines, and a loss of elasticity.

Consistent daily care protects the skin from environmental damage, promotes cell renewal, and improves texture and tone, which contributes to overall appearance and even boosts mental well-being due to the fact that how we feel we look on the outside, can often determine a large percentage of our confidence and self-esteem.

Just as proper nutrition is essential for physical health, a daily skincare routine is the base for healthy, radiant skin.

A good regimen will maintain the skin's protective barrier and can prevent issues such as an accumulation of bacteria and the buildup of dead-skin cells. 

It is important to seek guidance from a skincare professional who can assist in identifying skin concerns and create an at-home treatment protocol using professional medical-grade skincare products.

Consistent routines can lead to fewer breakouts, reduced signs of aging, and a healthier complexion. 

Personalized care can help to manage specific concerns such as acne, dryness, or hyperpigmentation as well as overall enhancement and maintenance. Using the proper products on your skin regularly is essential for extending the longevity in the outcomes of your professional treatment sessions.

A consistent routine can boost the effectiveness of in-clinic treatments by as much as 60% as it promotes cell renewal and skin cell protection.

Introducing antioxidants and vitamins through medical-grade skin products is proven to enhance cell turnover and stimulate cell renewal, which helps slow down the visible signs of aging. 

Moisturizing ingredients lock in hydration, keeping skin plump, while regular exfoliation increases the cell turnover rate and removes dead skin cells for a tighter look and a smoother texture. 

Daily care protects the skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays. 

Because our mood can often be affected by our physical appearance, being certain to take care of your skin is a rewarding, self-care practice that can help to improve self-confidence.

At Optimal Health and Wellness Center, we offer several medical-grade lines of skincare. 

Our AnteAGE MD® medical-grade skincare line boasts the use of growth factor ingredients derived from either human stem cells or bioidentical cells.

 A top pick is the AnteAGE MD® Biosome or Exosome™ System. This is a powerful regenerative duo to take on all of your skin concerns in just two simple steps.

The AnteAGE MD® Serum restores and protects with a fast absorbing formula of concentrated growth factors, antioxidants and peptides.
AnteAGE MD® Accelerator is packed with powerful active ingredients including vitamins C and E, bakuchiol, a retinol alternative, and growth factors to activate repair at the cellular level. This skincare line features multiple post-procedure products which are ideal  following laser, microneedling, and other ablative or collagen-inducing treatments. It also offers products for daily use to improve the health and appearance of skin at any age.

Our medical-grade NuGenisis skincare line is packed with antioxidants, peptides and plant-based stem cells. The antioxidants protect the skin by reducing and counteracting free radical production, which can damage the skin. When used daily, they can reduce sun spots, calm skin inflammation and combat visible signs of aging.

The NuGenisis peptide ingredients are proven to work in all aspects of your aging skin’s appearance. As people age, they have less and less naturally-occurring collagen, elastin & hyaluronic acid. This decrease causes skin to be thinner, looser, and duller. Clinical studies have shown that when peptides are applied topically, the skin is triggered into making more collagen, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Additionally, by harnessing the self-renewal properties of plant stem cells, NuGenisis products have a promising approach for repairing and regenerating tissues affected by the aging process. Many studies have been conducted to understand all the characteristics and properties of stem cells. Plant stem cells have the ability to change into cells with specific functions.

Studies have demonstrated very promising benefits to our skin such as improving cellular turn-over, wrinkles, sun damage and more.
