Skincare

A good skincare routine can improve the results of surgical and non-surgical rejuvenation procedures, as well as preventing and slowing down the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and sun damage.

Skincare Options to Suit You

At SANDS Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, we offer a wide array of medical-grade skincare products tailored to suit your unique needs and goals.

ZO Skin Health

ZO Skin Health is one of our most effective and popular skincare product lines. The products are medical-grade, which means their active ingredients are highly concentrated. Regardless of your age or ethnicity, ZO Skin Health treats and improves sun damage, acne, rosacea, and pigmentation, while rejuvenating your skin.

As these products are medical-grade, we recommend consulting with a professional to find out which product is best suited to your individual needs. We will be happy to guide and advise you here at SANDS Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery in New Orleans, LA.

Glytone

Glytone is a leader in the use of active acids in skincare. Offering personalized professional grade skincare, Glytone products treat various skin complaints including hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and rough skin.

Obagi Eyelash and Eyebrow Serum

Do you wish you had thicker, longer lashes and fuller eyebrows? Obagi Medical provides an eyelash enhancing serum and an eyebrow boosting serum that have been clinically proven to improve the density and volume of eyebrows and lashes. These serums are easy to use. After cleansing the skin at night and allowing it to dry completely, the serum is applied to the eyebrows or lashes. You should see noticeable results within 8 weeks.

Alterno

Alterno is a revolutionary treatment for acne. A lightweight formula that absorbs quickly, Alterno delivers the efficacy of tretinoin in a hydrating lotion. Tretinoin boosts cell renewal and is about 20 times more potent than retinol, improving the elasticity of your skin while reducing fine lines and hyperpigmentation.

Alastin Products

Whether you need a daily moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated in the winter or you’re trying to enhance and extend the results of an aesthetic treatment, you could find what you need in the Alastin product line.

Keep Your Neck Firm and Youthful

Many people are concerned about how gracefully their face will age. In our extensive experience, people forget about the neck until problems arise. One of our favorite Alastin products is the Restorative Neck Complex with TriHex Technology(R). Combined with a proprietary blend of peptides and powerful antioxidants, this is the next generation of decolletage and neck firming treatments.

Some clients particularly love using this product after receiving Kybella® injections. Now that your chin is youthful-looking and slim, you might want to tighten and firm up your neck as well. While there are other “neck firming” skincare products on the market, they don’t seem to be designed specifically for the unique issues of thin neck skin.

Retain Your Youthful Glow

Renewal retinol is another of our clients’ favorite Alastin products. They particularly love that this product soothes their skin and keeps it hydrated when the weather turns cold. Contained in a solid lipid, active retinol combats the signs of aging while preventing acne breakouts and locking moisture into the skin. It can be used to extend the duration of results from anti-aging treatments.

Cleanse Your Skin While Keeping it Hydrated

The Gentle Cleanser is a gentle, self-foaming cleanser that contains a proprietary blend of several essential vitamins and minerals. These nutrients were thoroughly researched by medical professionals and are designed to clean, soothe, and soften the skin while still keeping it hydrated.

If you wear makeup, we may recommend using this product before you come in for any of our aesthetic treatments. It thoroughly removes both makeup and environmental pollutants. This sulfate-free product is also great for people with dry skin or sensitive skin.

Latisse

We all know that the eyes are the window to the soul. Therefore, you want to have eyes that stand out and enhance your attractiveness. Long lashes are the true attraction to your eyes. Since most of us are not born with long lashes, we use makeup to extend the lashes. Fortunately, there is a product that provides those long eyelashes, and it’s known as Latisse. As the first FDA-approved prescription treatment of its kind, Latisse aims to enhance the length, thickness, and darkness of the eyelashes.

Is Latisse a Suitable Treatment For Me?

Typical candidates for Latisse treatment are men and women who feel that their eyelashes are lacking in density or volume. Latisse won’t make your eyelashes curl or look unnatural. It is designed to make them more prominent and noticeable. It is important to keep in mind, though, that the product is not a replacement for mascara. You can still use mascara in addition to Latisse if you’d like.

How Does Latisse Work?

The exact way Latisse works is unknown. However, the treatment is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways. First, it increases the length of this phase. It also increases the number of hairs in the phase. Fundamentally, the product boosts the darkness and strength of your eyelashes.

Is it Difficult to Use?

Applying Latisse is a simple process. Using a sterile, disposable applicator, you apply the clear liquid once a day to the base of the upper eyelashes. It really couldn’t be any easier, and our professional will make sure to provide exact instructions.

When Will I Start Seeing Results?

The results of your Latisse treatment should be gradual, but you may begin to notice improvements already in the first couple of weeks. Your lashes should continue to become fuller, longer, and darker week by week. In the clinical trial, the majority of users saw a significant improvement by two months. However, it’s important to note that results vary from patient to patient based on a number of factors.

Elevate Your Results with High-Quality Skincare Products

Medical-grade skincare is highly effective when used correctly. Used in combination with rejuvenation treatments, it can take your results to a whole new level, as well as making them last longer. Many of these products require a prescription and a consultation with a qualified professional. During an appointment at SANDS Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery in New Orleans, LA, we will discuss the details of the treatment and prepare a skincare routine personalized to suit your needs. We are honored to serve the men and women of New Orleans, LA and surrounding areas. Contact our office today to schedule a consultation!
