Cosmeceuticals
"It's not just about skincare; it's about skin health."
During your consultation, Dr. Christine Brozowski will evaluate your skin condition and discuss your goals. Based on your skin type, aging profile and lifestyle, she will prescribe a skin care protocol suited to your individual needs. Dr. Brozowski has extensive scientific knowledge regarding products and active ingredients, as she developed her own skincare line. While cosmeceuticals cannot achieve the same results as office-based procedures, they can extend the life of your service and maximize your results.
Christine Brozowski, M.D. Skincare
We are pleased to announce the introduction of Dr. Brozowski's own Skincare product line. With a scientist's knowledge of ingredients and their properties, and a skin care physician's awareness of skin problems and needs, Dr. Brozowski has been at work formulating a prescription-strength line of products to address aging skin. Our signature product is a compounded lightening agent with 6% hydroquinone. This is much stronger than products available in pharmacies or over-the-counter. This compound also contains a Retinoic acid and a mild steroidal ingredient to soothe the skin and help it tolerate such a strong product. We work with a local formulator to ensure the highest quality and accuracy in dosing.
Dr. Christine Brozowski's eponymous skincare product line is only available in our office to patients of our practice. She has plans to expand her skin care line over the next year to include Rx products for acne and Rosacea.
Skinceuticals
An antioxidant expert, Skinceuticals has 10 antioxidant patents, and first introduced Vitamin C in a serum in 1997 as a photoprotective antioxidant. Other than sunscreen, antioxidants are the only skincare products shown to decrease the incidence of skin cancer. Therefore, we recommend all of our patients use an antioxidant as part of their skin care regime. Skinceuticals combines Vitamin C with Vitamin E for double the environmental protection. Additional active ingredients include Ferulic acid and Phloretin. Antioxidants are unstable and therefore, are usually formulated in serums, rather than creams. However, Skinceuticals also developed serum-in-a-gel technology, for patients who do not prefer serums. Skinceutical solutions are delivered through dermatologists and other skincare professionals.
Obagi
The Obagi Skin Health Restoration System works at the cellular level to stimulate and promote skin restoration, and lighten dark spots. Under the guidance of a trained physician, the Obagi Skin Health Restoration System helps to correct surface discoloration, blemishes, and stimulate cell renewal to bring back the complexion of younger-looking skin.
Vivite
Vivite products combine glycolic acid (an AHA naturally found in sugar cane) with the process of partial neutralization. This allows for products with significantly higher concentrations of glycolic acid with a pH closer to that of normal ski
n, which makes it less irritating. Vivite improves the texture and increases the moisture in your skin. As the dry outer layer is exfoliated by glycolic acid, younger, healthier, smoother-looking skin is revealed. Excellent for acneic skin.
Elta MD 
Elta MD provides superior sun care and are paraben-free. The very broad-spectrum UVA and UVB coverage protects the skin from sun damage that can lead to premature aging and skin cancer. Elta MD also offers a tinted sunscreen that can double as a foundation. This line is especially good for dry or sensitive skin.
Patients' Comments
"The Obagi products gel cleaner and toner with action are the best. There is no fuss, and my skin responds beautifully. I have sensitive skin and have had only a positive response. I noticed a clearer, cleaner skin within the first month. It beats cosmetic products -a small amount works with great impact." G.C.
