Our skin is like a superhero in a never-ending comic book series, facing new villains every day; from environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays, to the natural shifts we all go through with age. At FORM, we arm our patients with the ultimate knowledge and unwavering support they need to achieve and maintain radiant, healthy skin. Join forces with FORM’s knowledgeable, skilled team and unlock the potential your skin holds.
What does your skin need?
Understanding your skin’s needs can feel like a secret code just waiting to be cracked. A hybrid of our team’s professional guidance, an array of medical-grade skincare, and transformative treatments working in tandem can make all the difference in your skin’s appearance and health. Whether you’re noticing dryness, uneven skin, advanced signs of aging like wrinkles and lines, pigmentation, a loss of volume, or sagging skin, there’s a unique solution that matches your skin’s needs.
Three Pillars of Skin Protection
Our skin is the greatest multitasker. It’s the first line of defense against the outside world, it regulates the temperature of our bodies, and it synthesizes nutrients we need. We advocate for a comprehensive approach to skincare; that means understanding your skin’s needs at each layer with triple-threat protection:
-
Physical Protection.
Did you know: UV radiation is responsible for up to 80% of visible skin aging! Even when it’s cloudy out, skin is vulnerable to damaging UV rays. It’s within your control to slow down these signs with proper protection. A great broad-spectrum sunscreen with UVA/UVB protection is the cornerstone of any effective skincare routine. We recommend using a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily, even on cloudy days. Our SkinMedica® Daily Physical Defense® Sunscreen (SPF 34) not only blocks harmful UV rays but also contains antioxidants to combat free radicals. Choose a moisturizing sunscreen to combine protection with hydration.
-
Antioxidant Defense
Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage skin cells. Beyond the sun’s effects, they can accelerate signs of aging and damage. Free radicals are produced by various factors including UV exposure, pollution, and stress. Antioxidant products can neutralize these harmful molecules, preventing oxidative stress. Try SkinBetter Science Alto Defense Serum™ with a proprietary blend of 19 antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10, and various plant extracts. It provides comprehensive protection against environmental stressors and has been clinically linked to skin cancer prevention.
-
Hydration
There’s a good reason we’re always reminding patients to hydrate! Proper hydration is essential for maintaining skin elasticity, promoting cell turnover, and creating a healthy skin barrier. Dehydrated skin can appear dull, flaky, and more prone to fine lines, acne, dull texture, or discolouration. So hydrating with medical grade skincare also helps prevent future signs of aging. We recommend Skinbetter Science® Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment. It’s a high-performance, triple-action formula that helps to bring moisture and hydration balance back to skin. This product improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as it supports healthier-looking skin, resulting in improved appearance of skin radiance, suppleness and smoothness.
Addressing Common Skin Concerns
Aging Skin
We all somehow think it won’t happen to us, but over time we all start noticing lines and creases in the mirror. Our skin changes dramatically as we get older. As we age, our skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin decreases, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. But who says you can’t turn back the clock? Let’s show those wrinkles who’s boss. Professionally-recommended skincare products get right the source of aging by restoring moisture and bringing back volume.
Product highlight: SkinBetter Science InterFuse® Intensive Treatment LINES
This innovative product uses a patented delivery technology to drive high molecular weight hyaluronic acid deep into the skin, effectively plumping fine lines and wrinkles. It also contains neuro-calming peptides and a collagen-nourishing complex to support overall skin health.
Dull or Lackluster Skin
Buildup of dead skin cells, environmental pollutants, and decreased cell turnover can lead to a dull complexion. You might notice your skin doesn’t glow like before, or that it looks older or more tired. Choosing products that slough away dead skin cells without damaging the skin’s delicate moisture barrier is key to finding the right balance.
Product highlight: SkinBetter Science® Detoxifying Scrub Mask
This dual-action product combines gentle exfoliation with detoxifying clay minerals. The biodegradable spherical beads resurface the skin without causing micro-tears, while the clay absorbs excess oil and impurities.
Uneven Skin Tone
Hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and overall unevenness can be caused by sun damage, hormonal changes, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. We all notice dots and pigmentation that pops up especially after a long summer spent in the sun. Over time these changes can exacerbate signs of aging and take away from a lovely, even complexion.
Product highlight: Alumier MD EverActive C&E®+ Peptide
This innovative Vitamin C serum is uniquely packaged to prevent oxidation, ensuring maximum potency. It combines 15% Vitamin C with Vitamin E and MATRIXYL® Synthe’6® peptide to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkle depth, and even out your complexion.
Professional skincare consultations make a transformative difference
There are commonalities in how our skin ages and changes, but everyone’s skin is unique. Meeting with a FORM skincare expert to craft a unique plan is the best way to ensure you’re optimizing your skin health and beauty.
We speak skin! We have the training, wealth of experience, and expertise to illuminate what your skin truly needs.
At FORM Face + Body, our expert aestheticians offer personalized skin consultations to assess your unique needs and develop a tailored treatment plan. We’ll get to the root of your concerns to recommend the best product combinations, treatments, and procedures that truly transform your skin.
What to expect during a skincare consultation
During a consultation, we consider factors such as:
- Skin type and current concerns
- Lifestyle and environmental factors
- Medical history and any skin sensitivities
- Your skincare goals
Based on this comprehensive evaluation, we can recommend the most effective combination of in-office treatments and at-home care to achieve optimal results.
Useful tip: Don’t forget to ask about our surgical services during your consultation. Sometimes, a more comprehensive approach can provide the transformative results you’re seeking; treatments and surgeries can work in tandem to boost collagen, lift sagging skin and restore a more youthful look. We’re here to discuss all your options and to help you make informed decisions about your skin health and overall appearance.
