Skin Health Program

The CosmeSurge Skin Health Program

The CosmeSurge Skin Health Program is one of the most effective treatments available to restore your skin’s health, enhance its beauty and prevent aging.

Your individualized program will be selected based on your skin characteristics. You will also be advised of the approximate time required to achieve the desired improvements in your skin.

The Definition of Total Skin Health

We define total skin health as skin that is smooth, vibrant, clear, firm, young looking and functioning well. Healthy skin exhibits a level of tolerance usually seen only from infancy to about 10-12 years of age. By age 12, skin begins to undergo changes that gradually alter its function and reduce total skin health.

How Skin Changes with Age And Disease

Skin, like other living tissue, is affected by many factors, external and internal, which can lead to its deterioration. For example, when pores are clogged or surface elasticity is lost, certain skin diseases may become aggravated and pores may expand in size. Acne develops when oil glands produce excess oil and pores become clogged. Brown spots develop in response to internal hormonal changes and external sun exposure. Wrinkles form and firmness is lost as the skin loses collagen faster than it replaces it. Disturbances in skin functions in combination with the many other internal and external influences cause the gradual loss of what we call skin health.

Skin health is affected by the interaction of many different factors, we therefore don’t treat one problem at a time but we rather focus on correcting skin function and restoring total skin health. That is how we achieve and maintain skin beauty.

Beginning the CosmeSurge Program

At your initial appointment, we will evaluate your skin, define your objectives, and usually begin the cream treatment program incorporating the CosmeSurge Skin Health system. The system consists of cleansers, toners, moisturizers, skin lightening, anti-aging and anti-acne products as well as sunscreens.

CosmeSurge Skin Health system is based on cosmeceuticals rather than cosmetics. Cosmeceuticals are a combination of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals i.e. cosmetic products with biologically active ingredients that have medical or drug-like benefits. The key ingredients include vitamins C, E and K, pure retinol, peptides, hydroxy acids, botanical extracts and essential oils.

Understanding your treatment program and your responsibilities

Our program uses all possible means to improve, correct, and beautify your skin. Your cooperation and understanding are also essential to successful treatment. To ensure the success of your treatment, you must:

• Define your objectives
• Make a commitment to achieve them
• Follow your treatment program
• Keep your appointments

The initial 4-6 weeks of your therapy are a transition period. During this period, your skin may temporarily exhibit redness, exfoliation, and dryness. These normal reactions to the treatment vary depending on the strength of your program.

Once your skin becomes stronger and its natural tolerance is restored, the reactions will gradually subside. You will then begin to experience noticeable results.

Upon completion of your treatment, a simple maintenance program will be recommended to keep your skin looking healthy and young for many years to come.
