Latisse
Thick, dark lashes frame your eyes beautifully. If your lashes are pale or skimpy, this non-invasive treatment could be ideal. Latisse is a topical liquid applied at the lash line. It is available only by prescription from a doctor. The formulation was originally developed to treat glaucoma by reducing eye pressure. Today, Latisse is FDA-approved for eyelash growth in individuals who have inadequate lashes.
A simple nightly application of this bimatoprost ophthalmic solution creates remarkable change, with full results in about four months. Initially, you will notice increased lash length. Gradually, lashes become thicker and darker. By week eight, change is obvious, and continued use for 16 weeks ensures results. Dr. Shukla will then talk with you about the benefits of ongoing use to maintain your attractive new look.
Undeniable results
The safety and effectiveness of Latisse have been researched extensively in the United States. In recent studies, 78 percent of treated participants experienced significant increase in eyelash prominence:
- Length – 25 percent longer
- Fullness – 106 percent thicker
- Darkness – 18 percent darker
While Latisse is well-tolerated, as with any medication, there are risks of side effects. Some patients (only about four percent) develop an itchy sensation, dryness, or redness of the eyes. Darkening of skin at the lash line may also occur.
Ducray
In the 1930s, Albert Ducray, the visionary son of a dermatologist, marketed the first dermo-cosmetic shampoos. These formulations were designed to improve the condition of different hair types. Ducray shampoos are still recommended by high-end spas, stylists, and dermatologists.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is skin care critical?
Skin care is essential because your skin is your body’s largest organ and its first line of defence against infection, pollution, and harsh weather conditions. A good skincare routine helps keep the skin clean, hydrated, and protected. This care helps prevent early aging and common issues like acne or dryness. Beyond appearance, healthy skin reflects your overall well-being. When you take care of your skin, you’re also taking care of your health and confidence.
What skin care products do you offer?
We offer dermatologist-approved brands, including SkinCeuticals, ZO Obagi, EltaMD, Vivier, SkinBetter, Sajic and Alastin. These products are chosen for their effectiveness and quality. Our team can help you select the right products for your skin type and concerns.
How do I determine which skincare products are right for me?
During your consultation, our team will assess your skin’s needs and recommend a personalized skincare routine tailored to your requirements. We consider factors such as your skin type, concerns, and goals to inform our recommendations. Relying on professional care eliminates guesswork and reduces the risk of adverse side effects.
What should I expect during my first visit?
During your initial consultation, our dermatologist will carefully evaluate your skin and discuss your concerns and goals. It’s also the perfect opportunity to ask any questions you may have. Based on your needs, we’ll recommend a personalized treatment plan designed just for you. We aim to provide a comfortable, reassuring experience where you feel heard, valued, and understood.
What is the cost of skin care treatments at DRS Skincare?
You guessed it! Price varies based on product choice and individual needs. During consultation, our team will provide detailed guidelines on pricing. Rest assured, we’ll recommend products that align with your goals and budget.
Does insurance cover skin care treatments?
Insurance coverage depends on the specific treatment and your insurance plan. Cosmetic procedures are typically not covered, but some medically necessary treatments may be eligible for coverage. We recommend checking with your insurance provider for details to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Do you offer financing options for treatments?
We understand that treatment costs can add up, especially without insurance coverage. We’ve partnered with Beautifi to offer monthly payment options for procedures and packages totaling $1,000 or more. This makes it easier to manage your treatments without the burden of upfront costs.
