This is Dr. Lisa Pruett I'm a
board-certified dermatologist at the
Center for Aesthetic and Laser medicine
at Trinity Dermatology and I'm going to
be talking to you about anti-aging skin
care and the products that we recommend.
A common concern that people have when they come and see me in the office is
they want to know what skin care they
should use there's so many options
available you know you go to any drug
store at the mall there are just a
multitude of anti-aging products that
are recommended and so I really like to
give scientifically proven
recommendations on what really improves
the aging process of our skin and so I
have many products that I've chosen that
we carry at the Center for aesthetic and
laser medicine based on that really good
evidence-based medicine. The three
products that I recommend basically to
anyone that's interested in starting a
good anti-aging skin care regimen are
Alto and this is an antioxidant so most
people have heard that you're supposed
to use vitamin C serums Alto has vitamin
C but it is also mixed with many other
antioxidants and in my view it's
probably the best antioxidant that's
available on the market. People ask well
shouldn't I just go get a vitamin C at
the drugstore vitamin C is a very
difficult product to get right you know
anybody can put vitamin C in a product
but it has to be the right percentage it
has to be the right pH and there are
many specifics and that's why the
investment in an antioxidant is very
important you want to make sure that
what you're putting on your skin is
actually doing what you want it to do.
The second product that I recommend is
sunscreen everyone should put on
sunscreen every morning put it by your
toothpaste brush your teeth put your
sunscreen on it's very important every
day to do that because we are being
exposed to ultraviolet radiation even if
we're not you know spending a lot of
time outdoors you are getting
ultraviolet radiation to your skin so
this is a great product that I like and
that I use personally myself that elta md
makes called UV elements it's a tinted
moisturizer sunscreen so a lot of my
patients really like it too. And then the
third product that
is a must is a retinoid and so skin
better science has Alpharet
and this is like a prescription retin-a
like Tretinoin and it's been studied
to perform like a 0.25 and then
also a .05% so it's a great
anti-aging product that will help you
build your collagen and and it improves
just the look of your skin and the
health of your skin tretinoin has
also been shown to help reverse sun
damage reverse some of that DNA mutation
process that happens that causes skin
cancer. So those are my top threes there
are obviously a multitude of other
products that we can recommend based on
your skin concern such as you know if
you have trouble with hyperpigmentation
we have products like even tone and then
this other product called Healey care so
if you're interested in getting a really
good skin care regimen that is backed by
science come and see us at the Center
for Aesthetic and laser medicine and we
can help you.
