Retinol Complex

skinmedica retinolSkinMedica Age Defense Retinol Complex enhances the skin’s texture to promote a brighter, more youthful complexion. It stimulates collagen production and enhances faster cell renewal to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. With continued use, faster cell renewal is encouraged. Algae extract ensures skin is soft, hydrated and protected against free-radical damage. It also improves elasticity and works effectively to visibly reduce acne scars. Come in for a free consultation to discuss a treatment plan customized just for you.

How To Use
Apply a single pump to face in the evening. If you have never used a retinol product before, begin by limiting use to twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, and then advancing to each evening or as tolerated. Mild redness, peeling and irritation is expected when using this product. Use daily sun protection with SPF 20 or higher during use of this product. Avoid getting in eyes. If contact occurs, rinse eyes thoroughly with water.
 

I am eight months into the bottle and am very pleased. I have dry sensitive skin and this is my first attempt at a retinol product after the recommendation from my dermatologist. There was slight tingling and redness at first, but I always layered a moisturizer on top. Now, after slowly ramping my way up, I’m using it up to four times per week at night with no irritation. The pump provides the perfect amount and the design ensures the sensitive ingredients are protected from the elements. It will last me another couple of months at least. I will continue to purchase other products in this retinal line as my skin adapts to the higher strength formulations.

Excellent service and an overall pleasant experience. Victoria was professional and knowledgeable. She proposed treatments addressing both my anesthetic and medical concerns.. I could not be happier with the results. Also, the Receptionist, Mattie, was pleasant and efficient. I look forward to future treatments.

Hayes Valley is the best! Kate did an incredible job with Dysport removing the wrinkles from my forehead, Sandra gave me great abs and glutes with Emsculpt, and Linda gave me my youthful facial structure back with Sculptra. These women are truly amazing. So glad that I found them!

I love Hayes Valley Medical and Esthetics! I've been coming for a while now for Botox and filler treatments. Linda is AMAZING! She knows just the right amount of product needed in all the right places to bring out my best facial features. I feel more handsome every time!!

The front desk staff are super sweet and helpful. They always ask exactly what I want and I never feel like I'm being 'upsold' or encouraged to do anything other than what I came in for. I would highly recommend HVME to anybody that is on the unsure about trying some of the services they offer. You won't be disappointed. Thank you!!

Diana at the front desk is so sweet, the medical assistant was amazing & personable and Kate who did my procedure is my favorite! As I walked out and met my husband, I told him how much I enjoy being there & what a good vibe Hayes has.

Sheila and Linda took great care of me and I look younger and vibrant.  I do not trust anyone else for injectables.  Linda is careful, thoughtful, and respectful of one’s budget. I have followed her from Marin into SF and I will continue to follow her where ever she practices.
