SkinCeuticals

SkinCeuticals is a modern Skincare line founded on the principles of scientific research and high-performance ingredients. Their products are formulated with scientifically proven concentrations of active ingredients to address a variety of aesthetic concerns.

Products and Technology:

  • Antioxidants: SkinCeuticals is a leader in antioxidant technology. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, unstable molecules that damage skin cells and contribute to premature aging. Their most popular product, C E Ferulic, combines vitamins C and E with ferulic acid to provide optimal antioxidant protection.
  • High-Concentration Actives: These products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients compared to many drugstore brands. This allows them to deliver more noticeable results.
  • Targeted Delivery Systems: SkinCeuticals utilizes innovative delivery systems to ensure the active ingredients penetrate deeply into the skin for maximum efficacy.

skinbetter

skinbetter science is the fastest-growing professional Skincare brand in the U.S. Their award-winning products correct imbalances in the skin that cause uneven pigmentation, dullness, rough skin, and other cosmetic issues.

Products and Technology

  • Overnight Creams: Designed to be applied before bed and worn overnight, these deep-penetrating products significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, moisturize the skin, and deliver much-needed nutrients at the cellular level that result in glowing, beautiful results.
  • Serums: These adaptogenic serums work fast to improve the appearance of redness, skin texture, and pigmentation within weeks.
  • Cleansing Gels: Cleansing gels offer a more thorough and beneficial cleansing than over the counter soaps or scrubs. Remove makeup without hassle or harm with these gentle cleansers.
  • Sunscreens: Available in both stick and compact forms, skinbetter sunscreen applies a consistent SPF 56 sheer sunscreen across the skin to protect from sun damage and premature aging.

Skinfix

Self-described “skin nerds,” Skinfix products emphasize clean, dermatologist-tested, cruelty-free ways to improve the health and clarity of your skin. Skinfix products claim to “fix the skin barrier” by delivering products that nurture, hydrate, and firm skin for a healthy glow.

Products and Technology

  • Acne Treatments: Skinfix Acne+ treatments help reduce the oils that cause breakouts while focusing on the skin barrier to avoid drying you out.
  • Barrier Treatments: These Skincare products focus on restoring and protecting the skin barrier for strong, healthy skin.

What aesthetic issues do Skin Care lines address?

Skincare lines like SkinCeuticals offer a comprehensive range of products to target various skin concerns:

  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Products with retinol, hyaluronic acid, and peptides stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Hyperpigmentation: Vitamin C serums and targeted lightening creams help fade dark spots and even out skin tone.
  • Sun Damage: Antioxidant-rich formulas protect against future sun damage and help repair existing damage caused by UV rays.
  • Loss of Elasticity: Peptides and growth factors stimulate collagen and elastin production, promoting firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
  • Acne: Formulas with salicylic acid and other blemish-fighting ingredients help clear breakouts and prevent future ones.

Which Skin Care products are right for me?

Our Skincare products are suitable for most skin types, but a consultation with us can help determine if they are the right choice for you. A strong Skincare regimen is ideal for individuals who:

  • Want to address visible signs of aging like wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and sun damage
  • Desire to improve skin texture and tone
  • Are looking for high-performance Skincare products backed by science

While these products are generally safe for most people, it's important to disclose any allergies or pre-existing skin conditions to staff during your consultation. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult with their doctor before using any Skincare products.

Skin Care Results

Our Skincare products are formulated to deliver visible results. You may start to see improvements in skin texture, hydration, and overall radiance within a few weeks of consistent use. For more dramatic results like wrinkle reduction or fading hyperpigmentation, it typically takes 8 to 12 weeks of regular use.

Why choose Audubon Facial Plastic Surgery for Skin Care?

Dr. Melancon is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with a keen understanding of skin health and aging. She incorporates a holistic approach to Skin Care, combining advanced surgical techniques with high-quality medical-grade products like SkinCeuticals, Skinbetter and SkinFix. All products at Audubon Facial Plastic Surgery have been carefully curated by Dr. Melancon, who requires that all products have clinical data to back them up, lending the term “medical grade.” Concurrently, selecting Skincare products that are clean and cruelty free is a priority for Audubon Facial Plastic Surgery.

Skin Care FAQ

While some SkinCeuticals products are available at select retailers, most of their formulas are only available through a doctor's office like Dr. Melancon's.

Medical-grade Skin Care targets common complexion issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, mild acne, redness, and sun damage with clinical-strength ingredients like retinoids, antioxidants, and alpha-hydroxy acids. Dr. Melancon does not treat medical skin issues such as acne, perioral dermatitis, or rosacea and recommends her patients see a board-certified dermatologist for management of these conditions.

While over-the-counter products may take months to work, many patients report visible improvements in four to eight weeks when using clinical-strength products consistently as part of a prescribed regimen.

Audubon Facial Plastic Surgery can advise you on which products are suitable for sensitive skin.

Dr. Melancon and our staff can recommend specific products based on your needs, but some of our most popular options include:

  • Skinceuticals C E Ferulic and Silymarin: Antioxidant serums for overall skin protection and brightening.
  • Skinbetter AlphaRet: soothing anti-aging overnight serum reducing sun damage and signs of aging.
  • Skinceuticals Retinols (0.3, 0.5, and 1.0): Powerful anti-aging serums to reduce wrinkles and improve skin tone.

Yes, you can often combine SkinCeuticals products with other brands.

Skincare products may cause mild side effects in some individuals, such as redness, dryness or irritation. It's important to patch-test new products on a small area of your skin before applying them to your entire face. Sometimes, you will be instructed to ease into application by starting at a lower strength or every other night, such as with Retinol use.

Please browse our online store at the link below to see all pricing. The cost of your Skincare regimen will depend on the specific products you need and the length of time you plan to use them. You can request a personalized quote during your consultation. Generally, medical-grade Skincare products like SkinCeuticals and Skinbetter tend to be more expensive than drugstore brands, but they offer high concentrations of active ingredients, have clinical studies to back their use, and often deliver more noticeable results. We have recently added SkinFix to our selection of products, which offers a more affordable option.
