Trust Yardley Dermatology Associates In your quest to look and feel your best.
Making wise and healthy decisions in your quest to sustain, improve, enhance, or rejuvenate your skin can be extremely difficult. Miraculous claims, breathtaking photos, and exuberant testimonials tantalize us. They seem to be everywhere! We need look no further than our smartphone screens, computers, televisions, and print media. All of us are inundated with hard to believe, often contradictory, and confusing messages!
Oh, but it gets even dicier. Not only are we burdened with the daunting task of choosing which intervention or procedure to pursue, but perhaps of equal or greater importance, the task of choosing who and where to pursue it! The practitioner that you choose has the responsibility to guide you through this difficult process. This person must have the training, skill, and experience to help you make the best choices.
If I may speak succinctly, it’s not just what you plan to have done, it’s whether what you plan to have done will provide you with the optimal cosmetic emotional outcomes. One size doesn’t fit all. We have different skin texture, tone, vascularity, elasticity, laxity, thickness, and coloration. In addition, our underlying support structures including collagen and elastic fibers, subcutaneous fat, and bony structure vary widely.
Evaluation of skin sensitivity and reactivity is very important in short and long-term care of the skin. Products, interventions, and procedures must be carefully chosen based on skin type, sensitivity, and reactivity.
Since youth and beauty are a combination of “skin and the person within”, it is exquisitely important that your skin health and cosmetic choices enhance both your skin and your physical/emotional beauty.
