Skin Treatments
Restoring aging skin's youthful appearance and keeping it in optimal condition require a grassroots approach. Look for treatments and products with "G.R.A.S.S." in mind:
Each factor above is critical for restoring aging skin and maintaining great skin into the future—and it works best when you start early! While treatments and products to reverse the look of aging skin are more effective and available than ever before, prevention remains the best strategy for youthful-looking skin. Not only can proper sun protection, hydration, and more delay the appearance of wrinkles, spots, and other signs of aging, it makes essential skin care more effective down the road when it comes to time to make repairs as necessary to maintain the health and beauty of your body’s largest organ!
Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins that repair and remodel aging skin. As we age, we begin to lose these growth factors, resulting in slower healing time, collagen loss, and the appearance of aging skin.
Grand Rapids' Symmetry Med Spa & Laser Center offers medical-grade skin care products, which contain a high concentration of growth-factor proteins. When we replenish the growth factors lost with age, we help prevent lines and wrinkles from appearing.
Retinoids gradually exfoliate our skin's dull outer layers and aid in rejuvenation. With age, our cell turnover rate slows, leading to an accumulation of dead cells and a dull appearance to our skin.
Retinoids can remove those dead cells, giving your aging skin a luminous, youthful glow. At the Grand Rapids Symmetry Med Spa & Laser Center, we carry retinol products in different concentrations to meet your individual needs, keeping your skin looking healthy and glowing.
Antioxidants defend skin against free radicals and environmental damage, including UVA rays and environmental pollutants. Antioxidants prevent and repair damage to your body's tissues by slowing or preventing oxidation, which can lead to cell dysfunction.
If you've seen a peeled apple turn brown, you've seen oxidation in action. Unfortunately, you can also see it in action in your aging skin. The Symmetry Med Spa & Laser Center offers numerous anti-aging skin care products with powerful antioxidants to protect your skin from many different aggressors.
Sunscreen containing zinc oxide shields the skin from damaging UVB and UVA rays responsible for skin cancer and the look of aging skin. And it's never too late to start!
If you already have sun damage, your skin can heal if you start to protect it now. Our oil-free, ultra-sheer sunscreens contain zinc oxide and feel great on the skin, unlike thicker over-the-counter sunscreens. We carry sunscreen formulated with the latest science and technology, from ZO, Avène, Neocutis, and Skinceuticals.
The Symmetry Med Spa & Laser Center features clinically tested medical and physician-grade skin care products that are specially formulated using pharmaceutical-grade ingredients.
See below for a complete list of Grand Rapids anti-aging skin care products available at our office:
Specialty anti-aging skin care products address the unique needs of each individual patient. The Grand Rapids Symmetry Med Spa & Laser Center carries a wide range of specialty products to treat skin conditions that occur with age, environmental damage, or hormonal factors.
Beautiful skin doesn't just happen; it requires daily maintenance as well as frequent exfoliating treatments to remove dead skin and stimulate collagen. Exfoliation enables aging skin to absorb the nutrients in your skin care products, creating beautiful skin and a new, healthy glow! The Symmetry Med Spa & Laser Center's licensed Expert Aestheticians are dedicated to helping you attain the most vibrant, youthful skin possible, regardless of your age or skin type.
