Skin Care

What are the benefits of using SkinMedica?

The SkinMedica line of high quality, science-centered products improves the condition and quality of the skin. The benefits of improved complexion are many, including:

• Improved self confidence

• Decreased chance for infection
• Decrease chance for new acne-related scars
• Decreased need for expensive makeup to cover uneven complexion and blemishes
• Improved comfort as dryness and oiliness can be balanced

The doctors at Pali MediSpa believe that skin care should be given the same priority as health care as a whole. The skin is the largest organ in the body and it serves many vital purposes. Aside from keeping moisture in and infection out, skin comprises the patient’s physical identity and, because image is so intimately intertwined with feelings of personal value and self-worth, it’s largely responsible for confidence.

What is the SkinMedica GRASS Regimen?

The SkinMedica GRASS Regimen is a line of prescription skincare products designed to improve and maintain the youthful, healthy appearance of skin. The GRASS acronym is simply the system used to ensure the right products are selected for each patient. The doctors at Pali MediSpa take the patient’s age, current condition of the skin, need for sun protection, and other unique and individual needs into consideration when selecting the products to include in their regimen.

Can patients purchase SkinMedica products without first seeing a physician?

No. SkinMedica contains a high concentration of NouriCel, which requires physician oversight and management. The regimen is also designed to be used with a degree of scientific certainty, which the physicians at Pali Women’s Health Center provide. Ongoing supervision ensures that the products are safe and effective for patients.

What is Latisse?

Latisse is the only FDA-approved treatment on the market designed to improve eyelash growth for fuller, longer eyelashes in patients. Latisse is applied to the lash line every night, after makeup removal.

How does Latisse work?

Latisse works by prolonging the active growth phase of the eyelashes.

Are these products covered by insurance?

Generally speaking, these products are considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance companies. However, patients are often surprised to learn that they can care for their skin or improve the thickness and fullness of their lashes for the same cost as a daily coffee or satellite television subscription.
