heard about Skinmedica and Obagi but not sure what products I have to choose within each line? I'm 46. Thank you
Answer: Products All you need is an antibiotic ointment along the incisions for 1 week, and then a silicone gel scar cream. Many of these expensive creams will show no additional benefit.

Answer: Best products after a facelift? Once you are healed from the facelift, you want to protect your investment. Wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen on a daily basis is the most important thing you can do.. Many make-up foundations have a sunscreen within them. After the sunscreen, the daily use of a retinoids, such as those found in SkinMedica and Obagi products, will help promote healthy skin and a more even complexion as well as tightening fine lines. Other ingredients, such as hydroxy acids, antioxidants, and peptides can further improve the look of your skin and are also available in these two product lines. Good luck.

Answer: Best products after a facelift This is a great question. We generally suggest a range of products to use after a facelift, to maintain both the skin quality and texture after surgery. The choice of products will depend on what your skin type is. Skin types vary from oily, to dry to combination as basic categories. Based on this specific products are recommended. Overal product categories include a face wash, a sunscreen, a moisturizer, an antiageing product, antioxidant product, eye creams and neck creams. Based on all this information, we make suggestions of products- our preference are products sold from Skinceuticals.

Answer: Skin Care after Face Lift Thank you for your question. There are many good products on the market including those you mentioned. A great physical block sunscreen with zinc and titanium is important to protect your skin and prevent the early signs of aging. Retin A and a good antioxidant are also important. Every patient is different and requires an individualized skincare program. Your plastic surgeon may have a skincare team that can get you started on a great program. If not, find a dermatology or plastic surgical practice in your area that can assist you with your skincare needs. Stay away from medi-spas and department stores that don't have an on-site medical director. Best of luck.

Answer: Facelift aftercare (medical grade skin care) Thank you for the great question! This is a frequently overlooked aspect of surgical facial rejuvenation. In my practice, we use the Obagi Nu-Derm system in most cases. I like to start the patients on this comprehensive regimen pre-op, and then continue post-op for a few months (at least). The main active ingredients are: 1) hydroquinone, which helps control pigmentation; 2) tretinoin, which helps your skin make collagen; and 3) zinc oxide, which is a physical blocking SPF. The key deciding factors will be your skin type (oily/dry), sensitivity, and degree of pigmentation. Best of luck moving forward!
