 At the New York Center for Facial Plastic and Laser Surgery we use a holistic approach to skin health.Your skin is a living organ with many functions. Unlike products that concentrate on skin care and treat symptoms such as dryness, replacing surface moisture, or blemishes, Doctor Jacono uses prescriptive skin care systems that restore and maintain skin health. These products treat your skin from the inside out. We use topical agents that work synergistically with proper nutrition to regulate skin cells' functions.
Keeping your skin in proper working order requires nutritional balance either through diet or vitamin supplementation. Vitamin C helps the body create collagen, Vitamin A is required by skin cells for maintenance and repair, and Vitamin E reduces scarring in some wounds. These vitamins are also antioxidants that scavenge mutant cells in the body. Doctor Jacono will help counsel you about your specific nutritional needs when creating your skin care regimen. While having surgery he will alter your nutritional regimen as some vitamins can cause bleeding during surgery. Doctor Jacono also employs homeopathic therapy to assist his patients in recovering from bruising and swelling after surgery, using a variety of natural herbal compounds both applied externally and taken orally.
Doctor Jacono uses two excellent skin product lines that correct the damage to the surface of the skin, balance pigmentation, restore skin tone, and enhance production of collagen and elastin. Both of these systems can only be accessed by physicians.
The Obagi Nu-Derm System incorporates tretinoin (Retin A) with hydroquinone, cleansers, toners, and creams to be applied daily. This will diminish the appearance of fine lines, increase smoothness, decrease pore size, reduce age spots and hyperpigmentation, correct blemishes, and improve skin elasticity. Through the use of tretinoin a constant gentle exfoliation occurs and the thickness of the dermis increase providing increased tone and a gentle warm glow to the skin. Doctor Jacono will prescribe an Obagi system designed specifically for your skin type and color.
SkinCeuticals offers a complete line of skincare for all types of skin with an emphasis on anti-aging. Founded in 1997, SkinCeuticals discovers, develops, and delivers innovative dermatology products that improve the overall health and appearance of the skin. From cleansers, to vitamin treatments and sunscreens, Doctor Jacono will recommend the SkinCeuticals products that are best for your skin.
