Should I be using Medical-Grade Skin care?
What sets apart over-the-counter skincare from 'medical grade' products? You might think it's just a marketing gimmick, but there's actually a significant distinction.
Medical grade products have solid clinical evidence backing them up. They conduct tests to measure outcomes, rather than simply relying on claims based on a single ingredient.
Medical grade products undergo rigorous testing after production to ensure they contain the ingredients they claim to have, often at concentrations that are more effective than those found in over-the-counter products.
Health Canada strictly regulates and tests medical grade products, while over-the-counter products are not subjected to the same level of scrutiny.
Over-the-counter products primarily address surface-level skin concerns and cannot deeply penetrate the skin layers. In contrast, medical grade products are formulated to reach the dermis, where essential processes like collagen, elastin, cell production occur.
Although medical grade products may have a higher initial cost, you typically need only small amounts to achieve noticeable results.
When using medical grade skincare, it's common to receive a consultation from an expert. This ensures that you're using products tailored to your specific needs and goals.
