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.

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.

Solar Protection Formula

Solar Protection Formula 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 (such at the Solar Protection Formula line or Evolutions’ eclipse brand spray-on sunblock) versus chemical sunscreens that are generally sold in drug stores.

Clarisonic

From the creators of the revolutionary Sonicare toothbrushes, Clarisonic is the sonic technology proven to gently yet effectively loosen dirt and oil to clear your pores. The Clarisonic Skin Care Brush uses a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to clean, soften and smooth your skin. In just 60 seconds a day, the Clarisonic micro-massage action cleans more than twice as effectively as manual cleansing.

Glo Minerals

Glow Minerals Skin Care Products - Medical Grade Home Care recommendations from Evolutions in Santa Barbara

Glo Minerals makeup is comprised of pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, natural high-pigment minerals, powerful antioxidants, and nourishing vitamins. This mineral line is recommended by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and skin care professionals in the U.S. and abroad because it can help and protect the skin. The anti-inflammatory ingredients with blends of Vitamins A, C, E and Green Tea Extract make Glo Minerals a perfect choice after a chemical peel or laser procedure. In addition to the advance antioxidants, Glo Minerals also provides broad-spectrum UV protection and is triple-milled for a smooth, flawless finish, and lasting coverage. Glo Minerals makeup is talc-free, non-comedogenic, and does not contain perfumes, chemical dyes, parabens or gluten-derived ingredients (with the exception of 7 products: Volumizing Mascara, Lash Lengthening Mascara, Lash Thickener & Conditioner, Smoothing Salt Scrub, Moisturizing Body Wash, Face Primer, and Lip Filler Pencil).

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.
