Your skin is the largest organ in your body and is changing constantly throughout your life. The primary mission of your skin is to protect your inner body from the external environment and its harmful effects.
Essentially, the skin acts as a barrier to the outside world. However, in order for the barrier function of the skin to be effective, the epidermal or outer layer of the skin needs to be well hydrated.
The level of water or hydration of the skin helps to maintain its integrity as a barrier. When skin is not well hydrated, it will appear dry, scaly, and rough to the touch.
The first line of defense for skin hydration is to use topical products applied to the skin surface. The best hydration skin care products will contain hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally-occurring molecule that attracts and holds onto water on the epidermis, or skin surface.
At both offices of Maine Laser Skin Care, we carry medical grade topical HA products. These items support the ability of your skin to maintain hydration levels.
Our second skin hydration approach is the Diamond Glow Facial. This cutting-edge technology uses a diamond tipped dermabrasion tip to exfoliate the skin, removing dead and thickened skin cells in the process.
Then, the device also superficially permeates the skin with 5 different forms of HA. This process helps instantly hydrate just below the surface of the skin, resulting in a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
Finally, the latest development is use of microdroplet injections of HA in the form of a revolutionary new product called Skinvive. Clinical studies have shown that patients who were treated with Skinvive reported high satisfaction scores about how hydrated and healthy their skin looked.
Over the next several months after microdroplet injections of Skinvive, patients used terms like "glowing" and "refreshed" to describe their skin. Since Skinvive is a relatively new treatment, we here at Maine Laser Skin care will be offering special pricing of this treatment over the next several months, especially when it is combined with Diamond Glow packages.
These price discounts will be only be available while supplies last. You can certainly book ahead by calling us either at (207) 873-2158 in Augusta, or at (207) 303-0125 in Scarborough to grab your spot and look glowing for all your summer events.
