BONUS: MENTION THIS ARTICLE AND RECEIVE $10 OFF THE PURCHASE OF DAILY COCKTAIL AND DEEP REPAIR*

In addition to state-of-the-art fillers and laser therapies, we are committed to teaching our patients about excellent skincare.  The basic building blocks, for almost everyone, include: proper cleanser, Vitamin C and Retinol, antioxidant moisturizer and chemical-free sunscreen.

What then, are all of those “other” products on our shelves?  Our building blocks are really just the beginning!  In addition to the basics, we have some stellar, ingredient-driven products that can aid dramatically in your anti-aging regime.  These products are “Medical Grade” meaning that they contain much higher concentration and superior quality of active ingredients than anything you can purchase at CVC, Nordstrom and even Sephora.  Our product lines can be compared to Obagi and TNS, but through examining scientific studies and comparisons, we have found that ours are more effective, and usually at much better prices.

 

Fall is the perfect time to amp up your routine.  You can always make an appointment with Rennie, our in-house skincare expert, or any one of our knowledgeable staff to review your skincare protocol and to put together a plan of action targeting your specific needs.

 

Here are just two of our superstar products that we would love to show you the next time you’re in:

Retinol: The number one product that conquers aging.

So what is RETINOL?

According to WebMd, Retinol, (pronounced ret'i-nol) is:

A half-carotene; an intermediate in the vision cycle, it also plays a role in growth and differentiation. Syn: vitamin A1 alcohol, vitamin A1.

Vitamin A is a vitamin required by the retina of the eye in the form of the light-absorbing molecule retinal. This molecule is crucial for both scotopic and color vision. However, Vitamin A(Retinol) also serves a completely different function as the oxidized form Retinoic Acid, an important hormone-like growth factor for epithelial (skin) and other cells.†

According to New Beauty Magazine, Retinol is the secret to perfect skin. Vitamin A helps skin produce collagen, a natural component of the skin that gives the dermis a youthful, full appearance. Retinol reduces the look wrinkles by renewing skin cells in the dermis and epidermis and increasing the skin's elasticity. Physicians and aestheticians agree that this miracle ingredient has to power to make skin look younger, smoother and simply better.

Retinol is also often used to fight acne and reduce the signs of sun damage by speeding up the turnover of skin cells. Don't confuse medical-grade retinol with the over-the-counter products found in drugstores. Retinols founds in a physician's office offer an excellent opportunity to improve your skin without the dryness and irritation that occurs with retin-A. Retinols are available in several formulations and also are often blended with other beneficial skincare ingredients to increase the results obtained from these products. Depending on the formulation of the products and the strength used, these products are safe and effective for most skin types including sensitive skin.

Our Dr. Tanne Skincare line offers several Retinol products to our patients.

Retinol Serum is available in 4 strengths which can treat sensitive, normal and tolerant skin. Ingredients include:
Retinol- which is pure and active vitamin A - it works to increase cell turnover and exfoliation by stimulating cell production underneath the skin. Skin appears softer and smoother, and will help even out skin tone.
Green tea- which have potent anti-oxidant properties as well as anti-inflammatory and calming effect on the skin, and helps prevent skin irritation.
Caffeine- which enhances the antioxidant properties of the skin and acts as a topical vasoconstrictor.
Hyaluronic Acid- which aids in skin hydration

Clear It Up Retinol Toner Pads- An excellent product for oilier and acne prone skin that is in need of smoothing, clearing, and renewing. Clear It Up is also available in four strengths allowing treatment to be formulated for each patients needs. The pads not only resurface the skin, but also fortify and protect it with antioxidants. This product contains the same retinol as in our serum along with green tea, and caffeine, but does not contain the hydrating hyaluronic acid. This product is used nightly or every other night on clean skin as directed by our skincare professionals.

RejuvaEye Retinol Eye Gel - This is the first product that Dr. Tanne has personally used in the eye area that has the excellent benefits of retinol without the dryness and irritation that this delicate skin is prone to with other products. This unique moisturizing retinol product in an emollient gel, which allows for a sustained release of retinol, thereby reducing skin irritation.

We recommend the use of retinol nightly or every other night, depending on your skin and the condition being treated. As always, we are happy to formulate a skincare regimen for you and your specific skincare needs.
