Post-Pandemic Skin - How to Recover and Where to Start |
Now that things are slowly opening up again, it's time to put our best face (and body) forward.
The pandemic took its toll on our skin. We've seen those wrinkles and dark spots creeping up on us during our video chats this past year. By now, we know our every line and wrinkle, the double-chin appearing in our selfies, the dark circles under our eyes from too many nights binge-watching Netflix, and feel the "Quarantine 15" that snuck up on us. So where do we go from here?
If your skin is lackluster and your body needs some contouring to get you feeling and looking your best, we have plenty of options to help you hit the reset button.
From the most sought-after treatment now (Lip Filler), to a quick skin refresh (HydraFacial), a fast way to freeze fat for good and tighten up that waddling chin or tummy bulge (CoolSculpting), or ultimate skin rejuvenation with Laser Resurfacing, our treatments and skin experts are here to guide you back to skin wellness.
Contact us for a FREE Cosmetic Consultation at 520.795.7729, Ext. 0 or request an appointment here. We'd love to help you get a fresh start (and back to your best self) this summer!

Patient treated with Isotretinoin (formerly Accutane). Results vary. Requires medical visit for diagnosis and treatment. Acne treatments are customized for our patients for optimum results. |
Head back to class with confidence! We have many acne treatment options and skin care products to get your skin fresh for your first day, class pictures, and the whole year through:
Skin Care Tips:
-
Be good to your skin and wash your face morning and night. This removes dirt, oil, and debris to reduce bacteria and gives your skin time to recover (and breathe). For normal or combination skin, use a mild cleanser (i.e. Cleanance Hydra Soothing Cleansing Cream (formerly Clean-Ac)). If your skin is oily, use a gel or foaming cleanser (i.e., CeraVe® Foaming Facial Cleanser or Betalplex® Gentle Foaming Cleanser).
- Make sure you wash your linens weekly to decrease the risk of your skin being in contact with hair oils, dirt, and makeup, which can lead to clogged pores.
- Keep your cell phone clean with a daily antibacterial wipe. Anything you touch with your hands, or place your phone on the surface of, will contribute to germ buildup that can also increase your chances of skin irritation and breakouts.
- Avoid picking at acne as it can lead to scarring.
- Always apply products with clean hands and avoid touching your face excessively.
- Clean your makeup brushes regularly to combat bacterial growth on the bristles. Use a gentle soap to wash brush, rinse, squeeze out excess moisture with a clean towel, and dry flat on a clean surface.
- Don’t skip the shower after gym class, sports, or a long day. Keep your skin clean to avoid bacteria and to remove sweat and sebum buildup.
If you have acne, or simply want healthier skin, schedule an appointment with us. We have many treatment options and skin care product to enhance and improve!
