Why Use Medical-Grade Skin Care Products?

medical-grade skin care

Medical-grade skin care products, also known as “cosmeceuticals,” contain prescription-strength ingredients. They provide countless benefits to what you’ll find over-the-counter at drug stores or even fancy department store counters. If you’re not familiar with this type of product, you may wonder if it’s worth the investment. Read below to discover why you should use medical-grade skin care products before making your decision.

FDA Approved

Any type of product that is designated as “medical grade” must pass the scrutiny of the FDA through double-bind and controlled trials. These products can’t be marketed without first being proven safe and effective. Over-the-counter products, on the other hand, are self-regulated by the cosmetics industry. There’s no consistent standard in place for their production.

Stronger Active Ingredients

The active ingredients in medical-grade products can be stronger than those sold over the counter because they are prescribed and monitored by a medical professional. These products contain higher levels of such ingredients as antioxidants, retinols, and peptides. Because of their clinical nature and strength, these  medical-grade skin care products tend to provide more noticeable results than their counterparts sold in stores. Medical-grade skin care products can penetrate into the skin’s deeper layers, actually affecting the biological structure. This cannot always be said of over-the-counter brands.

Medical Recommendation 

Because you must obtain these products from a medical professional, you receive customized advice regarding the regimen that’s right for you. Our professionals will examine your skin and recommend products that are suited to your skin’s type, tone and needs. This assessment is based on an in-depth knowledge of product lines. You can anticipate positive results from a product that is recommended specifically for you.

Better Value

Medical-grade products are able to better and more effectively penetrate the skin. Therefore, it usually takes less actual product to achieve the results you desire. You’ll get more uses out of a jar of medical-grade cream than one you buy over-the-counter, and that’s simply a better value. Also, you’ll save money by receiving a product that’s specifically suited to your needs, rather than experimenting with several different kinds, hoping to find one that works.

Preventive Care

By investing in professional products now, you’ll be taking much better care of your skin. In fact, you may be saving yourself further issues down the line, including expensive and time-consuming cosmetic procedures such as skin resurfacing or anti-aging treatments. Medical-grade skin care products can give you the anti-aging benefits and protection you need now to save you hassle later.

These are some of the top benefits of medical-grade skin care products. If you want to learn more about the products offered by Urban Allure, contact our office today to schedule a consultation!
