3 must-do skincare steps to prep for grad.

How to achieve glowing, clear skin for graduation day.

Your graduation day is one you and your family will remember forever. All eyes will be on you as you walk across the stage to accept your diploma, and the photos taken will be cherished for years to come; which is why you want to look your best. The last thing you want is for blemished, dull or oily skin to be what you remember about your graduation. Let us guide you to picture perfect graduation skin.

Step 1: Visia® Complexion Analysis

The first and most important step towards achieving your #skingoals is to make sure your skincare routine is working for you. Often times we are simply using the wrong products. Even though your favourite beauty blogger swears it makes her skin clear and beautiful, it doesn’t mean it is suited to your young, evolving skin type.

At The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, we offer an analysis of your skin using a specialized device called the Visia® Complexion Analysis. This device measures the features and condition of the skin beyond what can be seen on the surface. Our team of skin experts can then use this information to develop a customized, effective plan for your skin using medical grade products that specifically target the issues your skin is dealing with.

You wouldn’t leave the house after getting dressed without looking in the mirror would you? So why would you use skin care products on your face without looking in the Visia?

Step 2: Acne Treatments

Acne – the bane of every high school photo – just ask your parents. Research shows that 90 percent of teens suffer from some degree of acne. This means a breakout on graduation day is a reality that many teens will have to face. Don’t let pimples and redness ruin your big day!

At The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, we can provide gentle and effective broad band light (BBL) acne treatments to reduce blackheads and breakouts without medication. A series of treatments will clarify your skin without causing dryness and irritation. If chronic breakouts are a concern for you, you should start a series of treatments in the weeks leading to grad in order to achieve your clearest skin.

Step 3: Chemical Peels

Your cap and gown shouldn’t be the only accessories you wear on graduation day; let your soft, smooth, and radiant skin steal the show with a chemical peel treatment. This resurfacing treatment will polish away dull and congested dead skin cells, leaving your skin clear and beautiful. Come in a week or two before your big event to benefit from the glow-inducing results. Your skin will look its best for grad and the days to follow!

Feeling confident and loving your skin is the perfect way to begin your next life chapter, and we’re here to help! To learn more about these treatments and how you can achieve your skin goals in time for grad, contact us to arrange your consultation today.
