These days, it is hard to open the radio, the television or a magazine and not be bombarded with advertisements about skin care products. They have people testifying on infomercials that the products are making their skin lines disappear. Billions of dollars are spent on cosmetic products because people want to look better and younger. But there is no proof what so ever, that these products are effective. In fact, many can be harmful and cause the skin to age faster. Many of our patients asked us “what do you think is a good product to use Doctor?” This prompted Dr.Rafizadeh to search through many skin care systems and come up with two different product lines. Obagi Nuderm and then later on Biomedic products. Both these companies have a systematic approach to skin care and offer products that are effective in helping patients to have better and healthier skin. We offer procedures like micropeel, permanent makeup (micro pigmentation) and camouflage makeup. Our Skin care specialist is Christine who is an RN with additional training in skin care and has over 9 years of experience in this field.
