Sophisticated medical spa patients are seeking products and treatments that penetrate deeper into the skin for more effective, long-lasting results—but when is this a safe choice? San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Katerina Gallus of Restore SD Plastic Surgery was featured in a recent article in MedEsthetics magazine highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of using skin treatments and devices to increase the absorption of topical skin care products.
In the last decade, there has been a significant amount of research put into improving the absorption of skincare ingredients, and, as a result, treatments and technology that purport to increase penetration of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), specialized serums, and other skin-boosting products have saturated the medical aesthetics market. Lasers and microneedling are a few of the treatments that have seen a surge in combined use with topically-applied skincare.
But, is deeper always better? In this article, Dr. Gallus and several other physicians weigh in on the pros and cons of various devices and the topical treatments used in conjunction with them.
