Learn How We Do It Differently at Skin Therapy
Did you know, true genetically sensitive skin is actually quite rare? Most people are dealing with what we call “sensitized skin” due to an impaired skin barrier. The good news? Your skin barrier can be rebuilt.
While most skincare advice available today centers around stripping and resurfacing your skin, we treat the skin through the lens of corneotherapy, a method that is all about keeping your skin barrier strong.
By utilizing skin-mimicking skincare that works in harmony with your natural skin, along with teaching you habits and lifestyle changes that help maintain a strong skin barrier, we can heal your skin. Meaning no more itchy, stinging reactions to products. No more random, blotchy redness. And you’ll finally be able to treat your acne, pigmentation or any other concern you put on the back-burner while you managed your sensitivity.
So whether you’ve recently damaged your skin barrier, or if you’ve been dealing with sensitive skin your entire life, allow us to help you restore healthy, happy skin.
Sensitive Skin Care
My own before and after. For years, I dealt with skin so sensitized that it would sting and turn red after rinsing with only water. Now, I can perform advanced chemical peels and use corrective skincare without worrying about sensitivity.
