Back in the OR today doing what I love has me feeling like myself again! Facelift & necklift with liposuction makes for a happy surgeon! Early wake up, good music in the car, great OR team, beautiful results & happy patients is just what this Thursday needed.
....
Injectables & in-office procedures are part of what I do but thankfully being a Facial Plastic Surgeon provides another option for facial rejuvenation. A multifaceted approach to the face & aging, including skincare, injectables/non surgical interventions, & surgical options, enables me to care for patients at every stage & across a wide variety of concerns. Just as a carpenter doesn’t carry only one tool, I love that my breadth & depth of training has provided quite the “toolbox” to make sure we keep you looking like you, but better. 😉 ...

Retinols PSA:
Retinol use is part of the Holy Grail of Skincare - Retinoids, Vitamin C & SPF (& frequently added hyaluronic acid serums). These photos show the redness, dryness, flakiness & irritation that accompany starting a retinol or Retin A. The retinol purge includes breakouts & a less than desirable appearance, texture & feel to the skin. However, this is normal & expected. Again, for those in the back, this is normal & expected. Conveniently, now is the perfect time to start given that we are all still isolated for the most part through the end of the month & our social calendars have taken a hit!
....
Photos are taken 1.5 weeks after starting back my SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 after pregnancy. Pictured is terrible looking skin with red patches, irritation, sensitivity, dryness & flakiness. Good news though - this is self-limited (except in a small handful of people).
....
Tips for improving the “lead-in” or acclimatization to retinols that I use:
1. Start 2-3 nights a week for the first 2-3 weeks. Increase frequency after that or as tolerated. Goal is use nightly or most nights per week without issue then bump up to increased strength.
2. Apply with a moisturizer or hydrating serum.
3. Minimize any additional skin irritants & do not start other new active ingredient products during your adjustment period (it’s more than your skin can handle).
4. If you are using a retinol less than 2-3 times per week, might as well save your money. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Questions? Interested in starting? We carry Retinol 0.3 - 1.0 in the office & frequently start patients on Retin-A or tretinoin for those who are ready. Come see me or our esthetician @laurinwilsonaesthetics for any & all skincare recommendations!
