Frequently Asked Questions

Products

Q. Your ingredient listing has substances that sound like chemicals. Aren’t chemicals harmful?

A. Every substance in the world is a chemical and, as such, can be meticulously described in scientific parlance by a chemical name - even water can be known as dihydrogen monoxide, which is actually the chemical term for H2O. The iS Clinical product line is unique in that it uses ingredients of only the highest quality and purity. Our raw materials are botanically based and pharmaceutical grade, and do not contain fillers, toxic metals, or impurities. They meet the criteria of their biochemical C of A (Certificate of Analysis) at our production facility.

Q. Are your products hypoallergenic?

A. As with other products termed “hypoallergenic,” ours contain no unnecessary fragrances, chemical preservatives, or other chemicals. Furthermore, we use pharmaceutical-grade raw materials (this is an extremely important distinction), free of impurities and “stowaway” compounds. However, because our products contain many botanical and “active” ingredients, it is possible for occasional sensitivities to the products to develop – the only way to avoid this is to create inert products, which would do nothing beneficial for the skin. That being said, we very rarely see allergic reactions to our products and are always careful to avoid known irritants in our formulations. If you are concerned about potential sensitivities to our products, please consult with a physician or skincare professional and patch test the product before applying to the face.

Q. Are the ingredients used in iS Clinical products certified organic. If not, why?

A.The products are not certified organic, although the company buys organic whenever possible. It is not always possible to buy every ingredient as fully organic-certified, as this involves certifications on many levels in different countries and with various agencies. It is not always possible in a practical sense. Furthermore, iS Clinical products are designed to contain ingredients that are botanically-based, i.e. from plants.

Q. Is it advisable to switch suddenly or gradually from a different product line to yours?

A. A sudden change is just fine, based on skin condition needs or seasonal changes. However, if you have a history of sensitivity, patch testing of our products is recommended. We recommend a seasonal skincare consultation and treatment plan with a skincare professional to best meet the skin’s changing needs and perhaps the clients' lifestyles.

Q. Can you use iS Clinical skincare while pregnant or nursing?

A. All of our retail products are non-systemic and considered safe for use during pregnancy and nursing. Though we always recommend consulting with your physician or skincare professional.

Q. Do you test on animals or use animal products in your product?

A. iS Clinical products are not tested on animals. Except for ethically sourced honey, no animal-derived ingredients are used in iS Clinical products.

Professional Services

Q. What are the benefits of a professional consultation?

A. A professional consultation allows you the opportunity to ask questions and receive feedback from a skilled professional. The professional will examine your skin to determine your Fitzpatrick scale, skin type, and skin condition. They will discuss your skin concerns and skincare goals to help you better understand which treatments and products are right for you. The professional consultation allows you to develop a plan for your skin, often involving a morning and evening recommended regimen and take-home products. Receiving advice and direction from a professional consultation will help you feel confident in your skin moving forward.

Q. What are the benefits of a professional treatment?

A. Professional facials and treatments are beneficial to the skin for several reasons. A professional treatment allows you to treat yourself to some extra relaxation and self-care. It may include therapeutic massage to the face, neck, and decolletage- giving often neglected areas some much-needed attention. It also helps to enhance your skincare routine beyond your at-home practice. The use of resurfacing devices like microdermabrasion or dermaplaning helps to further the exfoliation process. Extractions may be performed – which are done safely by a skilled professional to clean clogged pores. Anti-aging modalities may be used like microcurrent or high frequency to aid in the rejuvenation and anti-aging activity. Highly potent, pharmaceutical-grade ingredients may be safely used in your professional treatment that are otherwise unavailable for at-home use. A professional treatment helps you step up your skincare game to achieve your desired skincare results.

Q. When and how do I need a professional treatment?

A. Deciding when or how often to receive a professional treatment depends upon the individual and the desired outcome. It is typically recommended to receive a professional treatment every four to six weeks. If you have committed to a series of treatments, you may wish to be seen more often. Oftentimes, to achieve the best results for your skincare goals, seeing a professional for a treatment series is recommended for optimal outcomes. If you notice that your skin is dull or needs a boost in exfoliation, it may be time to schedule a professional treatment.

Q. Do I need to prep my skin in advance of a professional treatment?

A. Something you may want to consider before a professional treatment is discontinuing a prescription Retin –A or retinoid. Always consult with your doctor or skincare professional’s instruction on discontinuation of any products. Your professional may recommend using a specific topical product prior to a treatment in order to prep the skin for best results.

Q. How should I treat my skin after a professional treatment?

A. It’s important to hydrate and protect your skin post-treatment. Your skincare professional may recommend take-home products for you to prolong the wonderful effects of your service. Some treatments, if more invasive, may call for a more occlusive product that will protect the skin’s barrier from harmful environmental aggressors while it is healing. Other treatments will require less downtime, and you can carry on with your regimen as usual. Always follow the advice given by your doctor or skincare professional post-treatment.
