OTC vs Pharmaceutical Grade Skin Care: Part 1 of 3

Over the Course of this 3-part blog we intend to clarify the confusion between Over the Counter Skin Care Products. vs Pharmaceutical Grade Skin Care Products. With all of the media hype and a plethora of skin care options to choose from, it’s no wonder why most consumers are confused as to what would be the best products for their skin. Should you been using OTC (over-the-counter) or Pharmaceutical skin care? Skin care is a multi-billion dollar industry estimating approximately 43 Billion dollars in revenue each year and steadily increasing. (Site) This tells us a few things…good and bad. Good news is people are concerned about taking care of their skin and are willing to spend the money in-lieu of achieving healthy, younger looking skin. Bad news is consumers are uneducated about their skin care needs and are virtually throwing money into the wind hoping the youthful skin fairy will find them. The fact that most consumers are uneducated about the care of their skin is an entire topic in itself. Our skin is our largest organ and unfortunately no one ever teaches us the proper way to care for our skin. We would like to explain the key differences between OTC and Pharmaceutical grade skin care products in hopes that consumers will feel more confident about their skin care options.

What Should I Expect From My Fat Transfer?

Fat Transfers may be one of the hottest new cosmetic procedures, but the actual process of using excess fat as filler began way back in the 1980's. Over the years, liposuction procedures have become safer and more efficient, allowing surgeons to perfect their Fat Transfer techniques. Today, a Fat Transfer is an excellent way to permanently augment the breasts, buttocks, hands, cheek bones, and the calves. What also makes a Fat Transfer a great option, compared to saline or silicone implants, are the benefits from using your own cells. There are no allergic reactions or chance for rejection when using your own fat tissue. The procedure is safe and the stunning results will last for years to come.
