What Does Skincare Do?

There are many factors that affect your skin – both internal and external. Many people wake up one morning and see a completely different person in the mirror than they remember being. While skincare has become more of a focal point these days, it is often the last thing that most even consider. When you maintain a good skincare routine, you are fighting not only your current skin condition but also help prevent (or at least slow down) further deterioration of your skin. A good skincare routine can protect, hydrate, and improve the appearance of your skin. At Greensboro Plastic Surgery, we provide our North Carolina patients with a full line of skinbetter & Colorescience to help maintain and improve the texture and look of their skin with a simple routine application.

Why is Skincare Important?

While it’s often an afterthought for many of us, proper skin care is important for numerous reasons. Not only can a good skincare routine help keep your complexion looking healthy and glowing, but it can also prevent acne, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and make your skin look more youthful. Proactively caring for your skin is also much easier and cheaper than repairing potential skin problems in the future.

Why skinbetter?

Formed in 2016, skinbetter’s science was established on three pillars: a technology pipeline of scientific innovation across multiple skincare categories, rigorous clinical substantiation of the safety and efficacy of the products developed from these novel technologies, and a partnership with dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and other healthcare professionals in the aesthetic medical community to deliver best-in-class skincare solutions to their patients.

This biotech-based aesthetic philosophy turned skinbetter into one of the world’s leading specialty pharmaceutical companies in medical dermatology and aesthetic medicine. Their rich heritage in dermatologic and aesthetic medicine helped inform their entire approach to identifying unmet skincare needs in the market, discovering and developing breakthrough technologies to address those needs, and researching and testing these breakthroughs to the highest clinical and scientific validation standards.
