Regardless of your skin type or the specific concerns you may have, medical-grade skincare products may be an excellent addition to your at-home routine. These products are carefully formulated, tested and selected by dermatology providers to offer tailored benefits. At Silver Falls Dermatology, patients in Oregon and Washington can receive personalized recommendations based on their skin type and purchase a range of medical-grade skincare products. 

What is Medical-Grade Skincare?

Medical-grade skincare products are specially designed to target specific medical skin conditions such as wrinkles, acne or rosacea. These products have a greater concentration of active ingredients compared to products that are available over the counter. Medical-grade skincare is designed to improve both the appearance and health of the skin. Many dermatologists and other skincare providers prefer and recommend medical-grade skincare because it has been clinically tested to show effectiveness. 

Benefits of Medical-Grade Skincare

Medical-grade skincare has several advantages compared to over-the-counter products. Most medical-grade products use stabilized ingredients which degrade much slower, making them effective for much longer than other products. They are also designed to more effectively absorb into the skin, reaching deeper layers. Finally, medical-grade skincare is designed to treat specific conditions using a higher concentration of active ingredients compared to over-the-counter products. 

Who Should Use Medical-Grade Skincare?

Your dermatology provider is more likely to recommend medical-grade skincare if you suffer from certain skin conditions. Those with hyperpigmentation or pigmentation issues such as sun spots may be recommended products that can help reduce this discoloration. Similarly, aging concerns such as wrinkles or poor elasticity are more effectively treated or prevented using medical-grade skincare products. Finally, those with conditions such as acne may benefit from medical-grade products, especially if treatments using over-the-counter products have been unsuccessful in the past. 

Where to Purchase Medical-Grade Skincare

Medical-grade skincare is not commonly available through traditional retailers such as drugstores. Instead, you may purchase these products directly from a dermatology provider such as Silver Falls Dermatology. When you purchase these products from a professional, you can also receive recommendations based on your unique skin type and concerns. Scheduling a consultation with a dermatology provider is the best way to determine an effective at-home skincare routine including medical-grade products.
