Clinique Medical Skin System


New! Clinique Medical!

CliniqueMedical offers ultra healing and soothing formulations for use before and after cosmetic procedures.

Each formula is filled in a pharmaceutical environment for enhanced purity, ensuring irritation-free use. With products to prep and products to heal, CliniqueMedical covers all the needs of cosmetic procedure patients.

Improve the absorption of your procedures to optimize results and let your skin heal in comfort with CliniqueMedical's superior formulations. Recommended for use with IPL, skin tightening lasers such as Affirm, and CO2 skin resurfacing.

Products are also sold separately.

Susie's experience:
So, I decided to put CliniqueMedical to the test. About three weeks ago I had a SmartXide DOT CO2 skin resurfacing procedure. I decided to compare CliniqueMedical with the DOT SkinCare products that are included with the DOT CO2 laser treatment just to see if they were more effective and whether they offered a faster healing time.

Day 1 & 2: I used DOT system only. I used the Soothing Balm as often as I felt I needed it (about every 3 hours).

Day 3:
Here is where I started my double blind study. I continued to use the DOT SkinCare system on the left side of my face. On the right side, I began to use the Clinique Medical System.

Day 4:
I noticed that the CliniqueMedical side felt a lot more moist and I didn't need to reapply the products as much. I also started to flake and peel faster on the right side then the left.

Day 5:
The Clinique Medical side looked a lot less dry and felt less irritated.
I could now put makeup on my face and most of our clients couldn't tell that I'd had anything done. My face was clearly more healed and looked more moisturized on the right side than the left!

Conclusion:
Doing this simple split study comparing the DOT SkinCare system and the CliniqueMedical system, I concluded that my face felt much more hydrated, healed faster, and appeared smoother. If it is important to get a faster healing time and moist, hydrated skin, I'd splurge a little and purchase the Clinique Medical System. The DOT therapy products just give a bit slower results and I wasn't as happy with the feel of my skin. What if I had started using Clinique Medical from the beginning? And what if I had used it pre-treatment as suggested.....I may have gotten even faster results.

Is DOT Therapy for you? Benefits and Results



Why DOT Therapy?
The Benefits and Results

We are very excited to bring DOT Therapy with the SmartXide DOT CO ² to the Treasure Valley. Many of our clients have enjoyed using the Affirm Fractional laser with its minimal down time. Some of you will want to upgrade to the CO2 DOT therapy because it will speed up your results. Each DOT CO2 treatment is equal to approximate 3 Affirm laser treatments. The downtime is a few days longer, but if you've got 3-7 days to spare, this will be the treatment for you!

The DOT laser offers the ultimate in skin rejuvenation in just under an hour for most treatments. DOT Therapy is ideal for the treatment of sun damage, brown spots, fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity/texture and acne scars. Not only does the DOT offer amazing results, but it does so safely and quickly with little downtime. The secret is out and the benefits of DOT Therapy speak for themselves:
