Ask the Aesthetician...

The Skin Suite's Aesthetician, Elizabeth Singer, answers your questions regarding the most efficient and popular skin care products on the market!

Q:

I've heard about SkinMedica®'s TNS Essential Serum and have seen it on the counter at Dr. Wethe's offfice. What is special about it and can it help me - I am in my 50's?

A:

First, yes it can help the appearance of your skin. It is special because it works on skin repair and skin rejuvenation!
SkinMedica® formulated this All-In-One treatment serum to give you the best treatment in skin repair and skin rejuvenation. It's unique because it does both in one product!!
TNS Essential Serum gives your skin growth factors to fight against aging. Our skin naturally produced these growth factors in our youth but through the normal aging process the production and level of growth factors decrease resulting in fine lines and wrinkles.
Why are growth factors important? They are proteins that regulate cellular growth, the activity of the cells and that work to maintain a healthly skin structure.
SkinMedica®'s independent clinical studies demonstrate a 97% overall patient satisfaction rate, a rapid and statistically significant reduction in roughness and fine/coarse wrinkles and an increased skin firmness with using TNS Essential Serum twice a day.
You can order TNS Essential Serum from Dr. Wethe's website link to SkinMedica®. SkinMedica® will ship at no cost to you!

A Letter to Dr. Wethe...

Dear Dr. Wethe,

Just a brief note to let you know what a 'treasure' you have in your new aesthetician Elizabeth Singer. The micropeel facial she gave me this past Monday was simply wonderful. Moreover, she expressed interest in me and we discussed the condition of my skin and the skincare products I was using. Finally, when I was leaving, she helped me with my coat. Customer service just doesn't get any better than that! Congratulations on hiring such an oustanding employee!

Sincerely,
Kathy B.
