Skin Care Products in Santa Barbara | Evolutions Medical Spa

MEDICAL GRADE HOME CARE

Evolutions Medical & Day Spa has partnered with the best in the medical cosmetic industry to bring you unparalleled home care. The product lines we carry were all carefully selected by Dr. Perkins for their excellent reputations, therapeutic value, and a high level of client satisfaction. Many of these lines utilize patented technologies and are only able to be sold by physicians. Furthermore, rather than carry entire lines, Dr. Perkins has hand-picked the “best of the best” of each line.

Our clinical staff will help you to create a customized home care regimen that works synergistically with “in-spa” procedures and promotes younger, smoother, healthier-looking skin for a lifetime. Call us today at 805-687-0212 to schedule a complimentary skin care consultation.

SkinCeuticals

SkinCeuticals products are formulated with high concentrations of pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients clinically proven to make a significant improvement in the health and appearance of skin. Founding scientist Dr. Sheldon Pinnell created a whole new skincare category with his landmark research on topical antioxidants (and specifically vitamin C) at Duke University in the early 1990’s. In 1997 he founded SkinCeuticals and over the years has built an impressive array of products that were created through high level scientific research and innovation. Today, SkinCeuticals is one of the top medical skin care lines in the world.

Luzern Skin Care

Luzern - Medical Grade Home Care recommendations from Evolutions in Santa Barbara

The Luzern Skin Care line is one of our primary lines used in our facials. Luzern products are pure – they are comprised of certified organic extracts, free of irritants and toxins – and are designed to enhance the health and beauty of the skin, from the inside out. The pharmaceutical-grade ingredients used contain ultra-high levels of antioxidants, polyphenols, and peptides and are processed pure and free from skin-damaging additives. Luzern skin care products can treat wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and loss of elasticity, without chemicals or preservatives.

TiZo Sunscreen

TiZo sunscreen products utilize micronized titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. They are free of dyes, oil, PABA, fragrance, and “chemical sunscreen” filters to minimize skin sensitivity.

Daily use of sunscreen is one of the most important things you can do for your skin. Evolutions highly recommend physical sunblocks versus chemical sunscreens that are generally sold in drug stores.

Epionce

Epionce is a physician-strength skin care line created by a clinical dermatologist. Epionce is rooted in hard science and integrates over 20 years of clinical skin research. Epionce provides the foundation to address your unique skin care needs. From improving the visible appearance of skin aging to problem skin, Epionce has a regimen to solve your specific skin concerns.

The gentle and effective Epionce formulas are paraben-free, fragrance-free, sulfate-free and gluten-free. To improve the overall health and appearance of the skin, they use restorative botanical ingredients that incorporate powerful multifactorial antioxidants along with barrier boosting cholesterol, ceramide and free fatty acids in proven concentrations.

No matter your age, Epionce formulas help unleash the natural potential of your skin. The unique approach starts with a blend of key botanical ingredients to resurface healthier-looking skin. This can improve visible effects of aging by giving you smoother, more radiant skin.

Latisse

Latisse is the first (and only) FDA approved treatment for eyelash enhancement.

Grow longer, thicker, and darker lashes. It’s not an illusion, it’s your own eyelashes — only better!

DNA Skin Institute

DNA Skin Institutes products are used as the basis of our popular DNA Facial. In addition to the advanced and patented Cryostem therapy used during the treatment, DNA home care products are organic, effective, and smell great!

DNA Skin Institute is committed to the purity and quality of their products. They select only those ingredients that are 100% natural, chemical and preservative free. These ingredients must be fresh and active in order to preserve the energetic life force of the botanicals and other ingredients.

Revision Skincare

Revision Skincare products deliver benefits patients can see, as part of a rejuvenating regimen or enhancements to in-office procedures. Their commitment to clinical testing is modeled on the principles of pharmaceutical protocols, and their superior formulation philosophy delivers transformative results while promoting skin health.

Evolutions carries some select Revision products, including Nectifirm (original and Advanced) and Intellishade 5-in-1 moisturizer and sunscreen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Though laser and other skin treatments at Evolutions can correct many problems, our advanced therapy is only part of the solution. To achieve an optimal improvement, the procedures done at the spa must be combined with a good daily regimen of therapeutic products. In fact, the consistent use of professional home care may account for as much as 40-50% of your overall result.

The products available at Evolutions are pharmaceutical grade and have a high percentage of active ingredients. Products made for mass marketing like those you get in drug stores (or even high-end department stores) often have high amounts of fillers and preservatives to counter bacterial growth and prolong “shelf life.” They also tend to have lower quantities of active ingredients. Because there has been no professional evaluation/recommendation before or after the product has been purchased, it is in the manufacturer’s interest to “water down” the products to minimize any potential adverse reactions (which in turn limits the benefits).

Each product we carry was chosen by Dr. Perkins after extensive research. Unlike some medical spas or physician offices that carry only two or three skin care “lines,” Evolutions has products from 14 different lines. This is because no single line has the best product in each category. At Evolutions, we carry items that are unique (often patent-protected and only available through a physician) and “the best of the best” from many different companies. Our trained staff is then able to construct a customized program specifically for you and your skin.

No. Our bodies are extremely dynamic and adaptable. If you keep using the same products month after month, your skin will adapt and the effect of the products will gradually diminish. By changing products periodically, your skin will continue to respond in a positive manner. Think of it like cross-training when you work out at the gym. By alternating the exercises you do, you burn more calories and have a greater positive effect on your body’s health. We are here to help and will assist you in developing an ongoing program that maximizes the benefits to your skin.

Cleaning the skin is the first step in any skin care program. We highly recommend the Clarisonic brush be used in conjunction with your preferred cleanser. Beyond that, a comprehensive program should include retinoids, exfoliants, antioxidants, and sun protection. Some clients should also consider moisturizers and skin type specific products.
