What is medical grade skincare and why do I need it?

Medical-grade skincare refers to skincare products that are formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients and are typically available through licensed healthcare professionals. These products are designed to address specific skin concerns and are backed by scientific research and clinical studies. They are generally more potent and effective compared to over-the-counter (OTC) skincare products. At Skin Medicine in Doncaster & Bawtry we offer the iS Clinical range of skincare which is 100% botanical.



Here are some key characteristics of medical-grade skincare:


1. Higher Concentrations of Active Ingredients: Medical-grade products contain a higher percentage of active ingredients, such as retinoids, antioxidants, peptides, and growth factors. These potent ingredients are known to deliver visible results in addressing various skin issues.


2. Scientifically Proven Formulations: Medical-grade skincare products undergo extensive research and clinical testing to ensure their safety and efficacy. They are formulated based on scientific principles, and their effectiveness is supported by evidence-based studies.


3. Professional Recommendation: Medical-grade skincare products are often recommended and prescribed by licensed skincare professionals who can assess your skin's specific needs and recommend the most appropriate products for your concerns.


4. Target Specific Skin Concerns: These products are designed to target various skin issues, including fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, rosacea, and more.


5. Absence of Harmful Fillers and Irritants: Medical-grade skincare products are typically free of unnecessary fillers, fragrances, and potential irritants that can be found in some OTC products. This makes them suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types.




Why you may need medical-grade skincare:


1. Targeted Treatment: If you have specific skin concerns that require more potent and focused solutions, medical-grade skincare may be more effective in addressing those issues compared to OTC products.


2. Visible Results: Medical-grade skincare products are often formulated to deliver noticeable and lasting results, making them a good choice for individuals looking for significant improvements in their skin's appearance.


3. Professional Guidance: Skincare professionals can provide personalized recommendations based on your skin type, concerns, and goals, ensuring you use products that are best suited for you.


4. Quality Assurance: Medical-grade skincare products are subject to higher quality control standards compared to some OTC products, giving you confidence in their safety and efficacy.


It's important to note that while medical-grade skincare can be highly effective, individual results may vary. Before incorporating any new skincare products into your routine, it's advisable to consult with skincare professional to ensure that the products are suitable for your skin and that they align with your skincare goals.
