After much discussion at Northeastern Plastic Surgery, we decided to create a line of products tailored to the patients we see at our office. That’s how our Glam Stellar Collection was born, so you can choose among top-notch medical grade products that ensure that just a little goes a long way.
Our first tip upfront? Don’t pump our products out like you would with a cheap moisturizer or you’ll be spending more than you need, and your results will not be any better. In fact, some bottles may last up to 3 months or more if you use them correctly.
Our aestheticians will take the time to understand your specific skin needs and offer the routine that will bring your radiant complexion back, while also supporting your on-going health.
Get To Know Our Collection
Sun Protection
The first product we designed was an SPF, because every person should be protecting their skin from the sun when they go outside, no matter the time of year. We chose one that contains zinc and titanium dioxide, which gives physical coverage vs chemical coverage.
The reason? A physical sunscreen will reflect UV rays while a chemical sunscreen will absorb UV rays into the skin and convert them to heat. Melasma is a pigmentation caused by heat; therefore, this type of patient will be better served with a physical sunscreen than a chemical one since the heat absorption from the chemical sunscreen will exacerbate the melasma.
Our Physical Defense 50 is a spray on for easy use. To minimize the white tint, spray on fingertips and rub in, applying a little at a time. Please remember that this product needs to be reapplied every 2 hours of active sun exposure.
Antioxidant Mist
Next, we brought in an antioxidant mist, because everyone loves a nice mist. It’s cool and refreshing. But more importantly, it is used to hydrate the skin and protect it from free radical damage and pollution. This version also contains ingredients to help remove excess oil, tighten pores and soothe irritated skin.
Moisturizing
After that, we thought about moisturizing. During the colder months, many patients will require added moisture while in the warmer months you can usually go with less. We brought in:
- A rich creamy moisturizer for dry skin
- A lighter moisturizer for everyday use
- A hyaluronic acid for all day moisture retention
Our Ultimate Revival Moisturizer is a cream version that contains ceramides, peptides, hydrators and antioxidants. This cream is designed to improve skin’s elasticity, texture and tone while protecting against free radicals. It targets fine lines and wrinkles to improve signs of aging.
Our Age Repair Serum is a thinner lotion that is composed of DNA repair enzymes to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and UV sunspots caused by sun damage.
Our Hyaluronic Acid Serum is designed to penetrate deep into the dermis to provide all day moisture retention. Your skin should appear firmer, brighter, and rejuvenated.
Acne Solutions
Since many of our patients have acne issues, we brought in glycolic pads, salicylic pads, and an acne cleanser. These products exfoliate the skin without over drying and help control oil production.
Keep in mind that they should be used a few days per week, not as an everyday treatment, unless recommended by the aesthetician. If your skin becomes too dry, your body will produce more oil, which in turn will make you break out more. There needs to be the correct balance between moisturizing and drying products, and we can help you achieve this.
We understand that acne is a difficult issue to deal with and may take time to get under control. We will customize a treatment plan and explain why you should or shouldn’t use certain products.
Pigmentation Solutions
Many of our patients also have pigmentation issues, and for this we brought:
- Brightening pads
- Retinol
- And Vitamin C
The Glam Stellar Brightening Pads have an option to add hydroquinone. The dosage is customized for each patient depending on their skin needs. Our retinol, Glam Stellar Restoring Night Serum is safe for all skin types and contains DNA repair enzymes for superior benefits without irritation. Our Vitamin C+E with Ferulic Acid and DNA Enzyme Potion also contains DNA repair enzymes, Vitamin E and ferulic acid to stimulate collagen synthesis, fight dark spots and protect from premature aging.
For Our CO2 Laser Patients
For those undergoing CO2 laser treatments, we designed the Glam Stellar Gentle Cleanser that will moisturize without drying your skin. These patients will also be recommended other products to take care of their skin as it heals.
Silicone Scar Gel
Last, we chose a silicone scar gel, Glam Stellar ScarVanish. It can significantly help your scar revision journey, as it has been clinically proven to visibly flatten, soften and reduce the discoloration of these marks. It improves the appearance of both new and old scars, and even helps with the itch from new scars. A little bit goes a long way so make sure you spread it out and rub it in before using more. You may be surprised at how far it goes.
Upcoming Additions
There is still more to come for our line. We are working on a tinted SPF for those who don’t like the white color of zinc, a lotion version of our Vitamin C, and another cleanser for everyday use. If you have more recommendations, don’t hesitate to reach out, we’ll gladly take them into account.
Why Having Our Own Skincare Line?During our many years of experience, we have found that choosing which companies have the best products and which ones will benefit your patients the most is difficult, especially if you only desire a few products from each line. Every company wants you to buy their entire line, when most of the time your patients will not be using all those products. Additionally, they have minimum orders so if only one patient is using a product it is not cost-effective to stock that product in the office. By developing our own skincare line, we are able to create the products that our patients crave the most, exactly how they need them. |
