Hanging corners of your mouth can be synonymous with a self-fulfilling prophecy. There are people who become very gloomy about the effect that drooping mouth corners have on your appearance.
Vitamin A acid acts like a ‘conductor of the skin’. It stimulates the division of the skin, rejuvenating the old skin layer and making it look fresher and more radiant.
With age, skin cells divide more slowly, making the skin less fresh/vial. By using Vit A-acid ‘transforms’ the skin, removing old dead skin cells and replacing them with young new cells.
Skin cells that divide too quickly, such as with pigmentation spots, are calmed by the transformation. The skin comes into balance and signs of premature aging are corrected.
For long-term success, it is important to combine and/or continue the treatment with a care line with high doses of Vit-A, Vit-E and Vit-C.
The skin has to get used to vitamin A acid.
If you don’t build it up slowly, you can ‘overload’ the skin.
It almost sounds too good to be true: a cream that can rejuvenate your skin.
However, this always goes slower than you hope and expect. Vitamin a acid can be very irritating to the skin and it is important to build up usage slowly. If you don’t do this and use more, the skin can become irritated.
Skin irritation from Tretonoin can manifest itself in the following way:
– redness, dry skin, flaking, burning sensation.
This can lead to the exact opposite effect; the tretinoin damages the skin causing it to age!
– Use at night only.
– 1-2x a week apply thinly on clean, dry skin.
– Do you use tretinoin more than 2x a week:
– After applying the tretinoin cream, you can use a good moisturizing cream. In the beginning (and with overuse) your skin has more trouble retaining moisture, which can make the skin feel drier.
– On the days that you are not using the tretinoin cream (and for cleaning, moisturizing and protecting the skin) we recommend Skinceuticals.
This base of this care line contains high doses of vitamin C.
– AVOID SUN
It is important to protect the skin with an SPF.
-In the summer it is best to moderate the use of tretinoin cream. Tretinoin ensures that your skin reacts strongly (more) to sunlight.
– If you have irritation, you can choose to
How quickly will you see results?
The use of this cream will soon be noticeable.
It is important to know that you may experience temporary reactions such as irregularities, redness, flaking and itching as part of the transformation of your skin. These mean that the treatment is working and are not a reason to stop the treatment.
Don’t worry, this is temporary and will pass soon!
1st phase lasts 6-8 weeks:
Your skin becomes more even in color; skin cells come into balance.
2nd phase lasts 6-8 weeks:
Your skin becomes smoother and softer; natural renewal rhythm begins to recover.
Result:
The skin looks healthier and younger, is firmer and has a natural glow.
In the 1st phase, the side effects such as redness, dryness and peeling may be stronger. This disappears as enters the 2nd phase.
Treatment with Tretinoin never really stands alone. For the best improvement of the skin, we also advise you to consider a treatment with a skin specialist. Many people do not know that the treatment at the skin therapist (gedeeltelijk) is reimbursed by the additional health insurance.
I recommend the following people to be careful when using Treinoine:
– cosmetic allergy,
– very dry skin or
– rosacea.
Although it has not been proven that the use of creams containing vitamin A acid will harm you during pregnancy, oral use of vitamin A acid (such as in the treatment of acne) can. Therefore, to be on the safe side, it is advised to avoid vitamin A acid during pregnancy.
Tretinoin is not a panacea, but part of our whole-face approach. You cannot buy Tretinoin cream at a pharmacy or drugstore. You need a doctor’s prescription for this.
If you are being treated in our clinic, we can prescribe the tretinoin cream for you.
You can visit our clinic for a consultation (by appointment).
We charge €125 for writing out a prescription. This will be deducted if you purchase other medical skin care and/or undergo cosmetic treatment.
