Acne, inflammation, redness, wrinkles, age spots, loss of volume or elasticity – these are just a few of the skin concerns people experience.
For each concern, there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of products, treatments and services that vow to take care of it for you.
With so many options competing for your attention, how do you sort through the noise and make sure you’re making a good investment?
“It’s so easy to become overwhelmed,” says Sheena Wagner, medical aesthetician at Plastic Surgery & Skin Specialists by BayCare Clinic. “We all struggle with skin issues, and what most of us want is just an easy way to find a solution that works.”
The aesthetic services team at Plastic Surgery & Skin Specialists by BayCare Clinic is trained specifically to help you sort through the noise.
“We offer free aesthetic consultations for all our patients,” says Wagner. “We work directly with patients and listen to their concerns. From there, we can recommend specific products or treatments depending on their needs.”
Plastic Surgery & Skin Specialists by BayCare Clinic carries a wide variety of products from Revision Skincare and SkinMedica. They also provide a variety of aesthetic services including facial treatments, laser treatments, injections and more to help with skin care concerns.
Those interested in learning more about what types of products or services might help with their individual skin care concerns can start by filling out Plastic Surgery & Skin Specialists online Skin Evaluation form.
“A glimpse into a person’s lifestyle, eating habits and any potential allergies is important when determining the right treatment for their skin care concerns,” says Caitlin Cotnoir, medical aesthetician at Plastic Surgery & Skin Specialists by BayCare Clinic.
Some products, and even serums used in some of the aesthetic treatments, may contain fruits, dairy or acids that could affect those with specific skin sensitivities or allergies.
The online skin evaluation is a great starting point to a larger conversation, says Wagner.
“It helps our patients start thinking about their skin concerns, but more importantly it can be the first, easy step in finding the solutions they need.”
Wagner cautions there is no “miracle fix” either.
“Healthy, beautiful skin requires a little work, and the products and services you need may change as you age; with the seasons or for a variety of other reasons,” she says. “That’s why it’s important to check in regularly with your skincare professional. We can help navigate the sea of products and services based on your current needs and concerns.”
