How you care for your skin on a daily basis makes a world of difference. VIDA Aesthetic Medicine offers world-class in-office treatments and a convenient online store so you can also shop the best products and have them delivered directly to your door. We take safety seriously, and although VIDA is open for appointment only we are also committed to helping you continue to social distance and get the products you need without having to venture out.
There are thousands of skin care products on the market and we know that it can be overwhelming to look for the right ones. Something many clients do not realize is that the products that you see in commercials and advertisements aren’t typically medical-grade, which means they simply are not as high quality as what you can get at our office. Plus, these advertised products are often comparable in price to the best products recommended by dermatologists. You’re not doing your skin or your debit card any favors when you opt for products that haven’t earned the medical-grade status.
The VIDA Skin Care Difference
Proper skin care that will actually help your skin look younger, healthier, brighter, and clearer demands a combination of in-office treatments and daily at-home skin care—with the right products. But which products are best for you right now? Bear in mind that our skin care needs change as we age, and can also shift quickly based on other factors like changing seasons. VIDA is available to provide customized recommendations, and you can always call us during business hours for advice on which products will complement your skin and goals. We only recommend what will truly benefit you, and offer easy online shopping with access to an array of the highest-quality products.
If you’re new to medical-grade products, you may not recognize the names of the leading skin care manufacturers. Epionce, EltaMD, ZO Skin Health, and SkinMedica are just a few of the companies that dermatologists recommend. Why don’t you see these products advertised like you do household names? It’s simple—they don’t need this extra promotion. They have a strong following and the results speak for themselves.
What’s so Impressive About Medical-Grade Products?
You also won’t see medical-grade products at the pharmacy, because medical-grade products can legally only be offered at specific sites, like medical day spas. The big difference between medical-grade products and others is the ingredients used and the concentration of the main active ingredients. Legally, products that aren’t deemed medical-grade can only use up to a certain (often small) percentage of the active ingredients, such as retinol. Simply put, you’re getting a stronger and purer product when you shop medical-grade, which also means you need to use much less of it.
Maybe you’ve seen some of these names while online shopping. Be careful, because many online sites might not be selling the authentic product. They may be tampered with and perhaps watered down. Alternatively, sometimes bargain sites do get access to the real product, but it’s close to expiration or long since expired. Expired products can be less effective at best and nearly pointless at worst.
Ultimately, you don’t know what you’re actually buying and getting unless you order medical-grade products from a trusted source. That’s why we have expanded our online store, so that you have peace of mind knowing you’re always getting the genuine product. We also want to make it safe and easy for you to shop and restock online, so we ship quickly and regularly offer specials on products.
See the Difference with Medical Grade Skin Care Products
It’s never too late to improve your at-home skin care regimen. In fact, it’s recommended that you routinely discuss your regimen with a skin care professional so that you’re not simply sticking with an old routine because it’s what you’re used to. Our skin is the biggest organ we have, and its needs simply change on a regular basis.
There’s no one size fits all skin care regimen, and if you see an advertisement for a product line offering such an easy approach, beware. The best skin care routines are designed just for you, are regularly revisited, and are recommended by experts at a medical day spa that are trained and supervised by board-certified medical doctors.
Are you ready to make your skin care regimen the best it can be and achieve the results you’ve been dreaming about? Call VIDA Aesthetic Medicine today at (503) 399-0021 for a complimentary consultation and recommendations.
