Routines for DRY SKIN

Is Dry skin your target focus? A lot of people think that if your skin is dry you need to slather on the moisturizer, which isn’t always the case. It takes finding the correct moisturizer for your skin type, medical grade is always best, due to so many over the counter products are filled with fillers, artificial fragrances, pretty packaging. Expensive “name brand” i.e Sephora Brands, Tatcha, Clinique, Drunk Elephant, etc. are a good example. This is our go-to EMD protocol for dry skin:

Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday

AM: Suds Cleanser, Plump, Drench (apply as needed, or alternate between using plump and drench), All Eyes on You, Sunbrella
PM: Suds Cleanser, Liquid Sunshine, The Eyes Have It, Drench

Monday, Wednesday, Friday

AM: Suds Cleanser, Plump, Drench (apply as needed, or alternate between using plump and drench), All Eyes on You, Sunbrella

Saturday

AM: Suds Cleanser, Plump, Drench (apply as needed, or alternate between using plump and drench), All Eyes on You, Sunbrella

Additional in-office treatments recommended to help dry skin:

Monthly Facials or Hydrafacials
Dermaplaning

Routines for OILY SKIN

Large pores, oily skin, breakouts, sound familiar? Would you be surprised if we told you it’s because your skin is dehydrated and trying to overcompensate for it. Exfoliating and moisturizing is the key to success in bringing balance back to your skin. Exfoliating is important in allowing products to penetrate like they need to, reduce pore size, promote cell turnover. Moisturizing is the additional key in helping combat the above struggles.

Sunday-Friday

AM: Plump, All Eyes on You, Sunbrella
PM: Suds Cleanser, Liquid Sunshine, One Stop Shop, The Eyes Have It/All Eyes on You, Drench/Calm Balm

Saturday

AM: Plump, All Eyes on You, Sunbrella
PM: Suds Cleanser, Polished Pads, Drench or Calm Balm (*Darker skin tones substitute Polished Pads for Skin Mechanic)

Additional In-office treatment options for oily skin:

ROUTINES for pigmentation issues

Pigmentation problems? If you’ve been diagnosed with Melasma you know the struggle. Or maybe you have dark spots that will not go away no matter what you use. Maybe you’ve been told your pigmentation issue is hereditary and there is nothing that can be done about it. Pigmentation issues can be extremely frustrating and even seem hopeless, but with the right medical grade skincare it is possible to correct years of damage and prevent future issues. I prescribe the EMD Skin Tone protocol to any of my patients with pigmentation issues, and results are generally seen in as little as 2 weeks.

Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday

AM: Suds Cleanser, Plump, Sunbrella
PM: Suds Cleanser, Bright Idea, The Eyes Have It

Monday, Wednesday, Friday

AM: Suds Cleanser, Plump, Sunbrella
PM: Suds Cleanser, Skin Mechanic, Bright Idea, The Eyes Have It

Saturday:

AM: Suds Cleanser, Plump, Sunbrella
PM: Suds Cleanser, Polished Pads, Drench

For a more aggressive treatment option you may consider the following in-office procedures for pigment concerns, age spots, sun spots, etc.:

For sunspots, freckles, and general sun damage: Broad Band Light (BBL) Laser, HALO Laser
For Melasma: HALO Laser, Boosted Peel/Decoboost
For Redness, broken capillaries, Rosacea: Broad Band Light (BBL) Laser
For Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (e.g. scarring): Skinpen, HALO Laser

Routines for EXTREME ANTI-AGING

Deep wrinkles? fine lines? large pores? All the above? Time to call in serious reinforcements. Maybe you woke up one day and noticed some lines in the mirror that were not there before, or maybe you already have mature skin and want the most anti-aging ingredients possible. The good news it’s never too late to start a medical grade skincare regimen that can treat and reverse the signs of aging. Our EMD anti-aging protocol is for the most intensive texture correction.
