SkinMedica + Tns Essential Serum Q&A

Burning and red. After 20 mins, the face seems ok.

What is the safest site to buy TNS products?

I have a history of facial Telangiectasia. Dr recommend the above serums to help with my acne scars and texture/redness/aging of my skin. The serums have worked well for overall skin health but I have noticed an increase in Telangiectasia. Can the ingredients in the products be contraindicated in people with Telangiectasia? Ie. The growth factors increase the occurrence of Telangiectasia or is it just coincidental. I am just scared I am causing more damage. Thank you for any help!

I have had dermatologists recommend growth factor products to me without reservation, despite my tendency to flush and my broken capillaries, and I have found their effects wonderful for improving my skin texture, far superior to any retinoid or acid. It seems, however, that given the indictment of VEGF and TGF-1 in telangiectasia, I should avoid these particular growth factors.

I had breast lift surgery a little over a month ago. I just want to be sure that I can put tns recovery cream directly on my scars. I don't want to cause any irritation or infection. Thanks!

I've been told by a few dermatologists that it is the single best topical product to use. Reviews have been great. Is the science behind this product sound?

I'm aware that you're supposed to stop using retinoids during the days leading up to a chemical peel, but am unsure if TNS Essential Serum by Skin Medica is safe to use during the days leading up to a peel, and afterward? Since a lot of doctors seem to sell this skin care line, I thought someone here would likely have an answer to my question. Thanks in advance.

Hello Doctors - TNS Essential Serum contains growth factors. Do these growth factors truly work to reverse and prevent aging? Are there any studies (not funded or done by SkinMedica) that objectively show that this product is truly worth the ridiculously high price?
