Knock, knock you have a delivery!

Many patients ask us, is there truly a difference between clinically backed skincare and DIY treatments found on TikTok? We at Porto Cosmetic Surgery in Fishers, Indiana are here to tell you that there is most definitely a difference, especially on a cellular level. And while ingredients and formulation are important, we believe that delivery systems deserve their own time in the sun.

As a medical practice, our main goal is to provide our patients with results driven treatments and products while educating them about why we recommend our products.

In order for there to be noticeable and intentional change in the skin, products have to penetrate the living layer of the skin. We know that our skin has three basic layers: the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The top layer of the epidermis is known as the Stratum Corneum and it is essential to keeping the body safe. It is made up of dead keratinocytes that form a protective outer layer of the skin. Our epidermis also has our pigment producing cells.

Next, we have our dermis which contains the living layer of our skin. The dermis is important because this is what gives us our skin elasticity. Containing  elastin and collagen, the dermis is where we intend for the majority of our results driven products to penetrate. Additionally, our dermis contains blood vessels, oil/sweat glands, and nerves. Finally, we have our hypodermis which has our fat and connective tissues.

So, now that we know the three basic layers of the skin it makes much more sense why we have to use products with adequate delivery systems so that they can penetrate past the epidermis and enter the dermis- stimulating cells to create change.

We at Porto Cosmetic Surgery in Hamilton County are a firm believer in clinically backed studies that ensure our patients are getting results driven products and treatments. This is why our most recommended medical grade skincare line is SkinBetter Science. We all LOVE these products because their delivery systems are backed by science and truly affect change. We also offer Glommed and Face Reality Skincare.
