Retin-A for Serious Skincare

Retin-A (Tretinoin) measurably improves skin tone and texture by boosting skin cell renewal and collegen generation. Available by prescription, Retin-A (Tretinoin) works at a cellular level to smooth wrinkles, lessen pigmentation, tighten pores and reduce sun damage. Originally developed to treat acne, Retin-A (Tretinoin) topical cream has been approved by the FDA for cosmetic use.

Retin-A is available by prescription.

Your doctor or dermotologist will determine the appropriate strength for your skin and advise you on the side effects and risks - not be used be pregnant or breastfeeding women, increased sun sensitivity, etc. My dermatologist prescribed Retisol-A .025% to be applied nightly. The Retin-A (Tretinoin) medication is carried in a light cream and includes a sunscreen. For the first couple of weeks, I applied a thin layer of the Retisol-A cream every other night and thereafter nightly.

Initial side effects included some redness and some skin flaking. To mitigate this, I adjusted the amount by using a little less the next day. I also noticed some increased oilyness on my forehead.  During the day, I use a colostrum face cream that I find very soothing. Before going outdoors, it is important to apply a sunscreen.

Results are noticed in six to eight weeks. Maximum benefit is attained in six months. I have been using the Retin-A (Tretinoin) medication for about a month now. I like the creamy base of the Retisol-A and I can already feel improved skin density and clarity. Used in combination with Botox injections (also available from your dermitologist),  you can achieve that relaxed confident ageless look at relatively low cost and minimal downtime.

Retisol-A cost per tube (45g) is about $50 (Canada) which is comparable to higher-end drugstore creams. As a prescription, some or all of it may be covered by your private insurance.

Botox is delivered by injection.

Botox is the best way to soften wrinkles and refresh you look quickly without downtime.

Botox directly addresses one of the primary causes of wrinkles. Wrinkles particularly between the eyes on the forehead form from repeated muscle contraction. Botox temporarily freezes the muscle so it doesn't contract removing the underlying cause of the wrinkle. The face takes on a more relaxed and youthful look.

Botox serum is injected directly into the muscle being treated by your Dermatologist. The pain is minimal but the injections strangely crunch as the needle contacts the muscle tissue. The procedure takes about a minute. I had a mild headache the next day. Your dermatologist can explain all of the risks and side effects.

Cost was $250.00 for 25 units which is expected to last four to six months. Wrinkles treated with Botox cosmetic will begin to relax a few days after the injection. Overall I feel much less stress in my face which makes me look better and feel better. Love it!
