When using Skinmedica TNS, vitamin c, glycolic and HA5. What order?

Question

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

The rule of thumb when applying skin care products is THINNEST to THICKEST. Depending on your glycolic acid (is it serum based, pad, etc?)  If it is a pad- I would do glycolic pad, vitamin c, TNS, and then HA5 (then sunscreen of course). But again- thinnest to thickest is the best way to go about it!

Erin Smith, MD · Answer

While nuances exist, one way to think about treatments is to apply thinnest serums followed by increasing thickness. Discuss with your provider on the correct order of treatments for you and your specific products.

honestly skinmedica isnt that good. we carry over 30+ lines an dont carry skin medica. at home peels like enlighten and aerify should be used every month, dermarolling weekly (see link) and products like emerageskin aox c, skin ceuticals custom dose, anteage md serum + accelerator, emerageskin hyla b, refit face; and sente bio intensive; and restorsea 10x and liquid gold.  much better products.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly, see link) should be started now to prevent further aging.

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.
