Dermatologist cosmetics
Skin doctors, also called dermatologists, take care of the largest organ of our body: the skin. However, they have to complete extensive training before they can do so. After studying human medicine and obtaining the subsequent license to practice medicine, a five-year specialist training course follows. Only then are they allowed to work as dermatologists. However, once they have completed their training, they also have first-class specialist knowledge.
Know-how depth for excellent cosmetics
Dermatologist cosmetics are based on this excellent specialized and skin-physiological knowledge. They enjoyan excellent reputation, because who could offer or recommend more appropriate and effective products than the dermatologist who knows the skin condition of his patients very well? Through personal contact with them, they can also precisely document any skin changes and compare them at any time. Thanks to their expertise, dermatologists are also able to handle high-dose active ingredients responsibly. Patients and/or customers can rely on the quality of the ingredients, the effectiveness and the tolerability. All of this naturally gives users a good feeling, and that in turn is what makes dermatologist cosmetics so trustworthy and successful.
What distinguishes high-quality dermatologist cosmetics from conventional products?
Dermatologists should not offer their patients conventional products from large corporations. These often do not contain a sufficiently high concentration of active ingredients and sometimes even contain unsuitable compositions. Therefore, they cannot optimally combat the numerous skin and hair problems. Cosmetics that physicians recommend to their patients should be specifically tailored to the respective symptoms and needs. These can be quite different and therefore require carefully selected dermatological ingredients.
Skin problems must be solved – this is not possible with mass-market products.
Typical skin complaints with which patients consult their dermatologist are irritations, redness and pimples. In such cases, the doctor must first determine the cause of the problem. Once the trigger has been found, high-quality dermatologist cosmetics can alleviate the symptoms or even make them disappear completely. Atopic skin, which may even tend towards eczema, is also one of the most common complaints in a dermatologist’s practice.
It can become a significant burden for those affected. With his extensive expertise and thanks to the personal relationship with each patient, the doctor is able to recommend exactly the right cosmetic treatment for the person concerned. Some people simply expect too much of their skin. It is then over-cared for and reacts with itching, a feeling of tension, an unpleasant burning sensation or pimples and papules.
The case is clear here: the stressed skin absolutely needs to recover! The specialist knows exactly which dermatologist cosmetics will help. Hair also often causes problems. It may fall out, be far too thin or suffer from annoying dandruff. Conventional off-the-shelf products are usually not enough. However, with good dermatologistcosmetics, your hair can soon be lush, healthy and supple again, and dandruff will no longer form.
What makes good dermatologist cosmetics?
The focus is on the use of high-dose active ingredients, as already mentioned. Compared to conventional products, this is the most important distinguishing feature and acts as a trademark for dermatologist cosmetics. At least as important is the very good dermatological tolerance, even for sensitive skin. This is also an absolute must for dermatologist cosmetics.
The third pillar consists of booster products that provide quick and lasting relief. After all, those affected often suffer immensely from their complaints, and relieving them as quickly and as long as possible is one of the main tasks of a dermatologist. Examples include oils with vitamin F for dry skin, moisturizing boosters with glycerin, urea, aquaporins, high-dose hyaluronic acid and osmolytes.
Ceramide boosters with different ceramides, for example, are ideal for restoring the natural skin barrier. DMS base creams are also very important. DMS stands for “Derma Membrane Structure”, and the appropriate dermatologist cosmetics are ideal for regenerating a damaged skin barrier.
Special products as dermatologist cosmetics
Not only the figure can have “problem zones”, also the skin sometimes shows itself particularly sensitive, irritated or extremely dry at certain points. On the eyelids, for example: here the skin is generally very sensitive and dries out easily. It is often irritated or even scaly. The eyelids also need special care for atopic and allergic skin. An eyelid cream is therefore the ideal cosmetic for dermatological use.
The skin on the elbows also frequently causes problems. There are only a few sebaceous glands here. But skin diseases such as psoriasis and neurodermatitis often cause very rough and sometimes even cracked skin on the elbows. An elbow balsam with concentrated active ingredients quickly provides relief. However, special cosmetic products for dermatological use are also important for oncology. The care products should be tailored to the individual needs and the type of therapy (e.g. chemotherapy), which means that conventional cosmetics are out of the question here. Anyone who suffers from itching for various reasons needs dermatologist cosmetics that can alleviate this.
And hair and scalp sometimes also need special care. An example of a product that is often requested is a hair growth serum. We should also not forget the young patients, because they often have to deal with skin problems at a young age. However, since children’s skin is very different from that of adults, their care products must be formulated differently. Dermatologist cosmetics for kids are extremely high quality and should not be confused with the somewhat questionable trend of Sephora Kids!
Offer your patients and customers your own dermatologist cosmetics
Cosmacon supports dermatologists in the development and implementation of their own high-quality care line. The brand then bears your name and clearly stands out from typical standard cosmetics. This is an advantage for you and your practice, but also for your patients, who can only benefit from the state-of-the-art formulations.
