Testimonials

"Dear Dr. Robben, Linda et al, I have recovered very nicely from my laser treatment. I just wanted to send you a note and thank you again for your time and care in June and over the years. It is a little embarrassing to want to look better, but you make me feel positive about it. With my 60th birthday this Tuesday, I feel good."

"I have been coming to this location for 9 years now. As my hormones changed and my hair growth increased, it was treated with the utmost care and attention. I actually commute 2.5hours this location as I moved since I started my treatment, bc that's how much I trust Mind Your Skin. Very effective results. Highly recommend!!"- SJ, Google Reviews, Summer 2018

"The team is professional, knowledgeable it makes you feel super comfortable in the office! [Dr. Robben] listens to you and cares about his patients. Highly recommend this practice!" - TIJ, Google Reviews, Winter 2018-19

Mind Your Skin, in COVID times

We are sending TLC skin care packages to health care workers at the front lines of the healthcare crisis. We received the support of Pierre Fabre Avène\Glytone in the form of a generous donation of products. Avène has nearly three centuries of expertise in caring for sensitive skin. Back in 1871 Avène sent their healing and soothing thermal spring water from the source in the Cévennes mountains to the aid of the victims of the 'Great Chicago fire'. Please help us help our hardworking heroes by forwarding their information to mindyourskin@comcast.net.

Mind Your Skin in Havertown Helps Your Care at Home

The expression "feeling good in one's skin" is from the wisdom that you feel the most beautiful and confident when you are happy with your skin! Well chosen skin care products go a long way towards this goal! Select from the most current Medical Grade Skin Care Products in Havertown and South Philadelphia for skin care maintenance and enhancement. Who better to advise you on your skin's needs than skin care experts?

MEDICAL GRADE

At Mind Your Skin, we handpick the highest-grade skin care product lines and home run products for you, so you don't have to. Medical grade means more and better active ingredients, and fewer inactive ones, including 'filling' agents and preservatives. The dispensing system is key for certain items such as vitamin C which is unstable and degrades when exposed to air. Furthermore, the delivery system ('vehicle') is the secret sauce. Often the active ingredient has to be cloaked, folded or otherwise altered or disguised or aided in order to get past our skin barrier. before successful deployment. This is where science really takes over and where "Medical Grade" sets itself apart from many over-the counter treatments. To begin with you should treat your skin to ongoing exfoliation and sun protection. Moisturize as needed. Additionally, none of these need be expensive! Stepping it up a notch: We have available antioxidants and various treatments directed at specific concerns. Our estheticians get you started and move you along a personalized skin-care regimen. Think of us for example as your personal skin care trainers! Below are our "go-to", top performing skincare products. These are available for on-line purchase as well via our web store.

BIOPELLE

Biopelle Tensage Advanced Cream

Keen scientists observe that certain snails have an astounding capability to heal their integument ('skin'). In addition we know that with age our skin loses the benefit from the repair properties of our natural growth factors. As is the case for many other important components, our skin is just not keeping up. Biopelle Tensage Advanced Cream helps supplement this decreased level as growth factors are applied to the skin. European scientists discovered and patented SCA Bio-repair Technology. Tensage^® Growth Factor features SCA-6 Bio-repair Technology, a special secretion concentrated from the Cryptomphalus aspersa snail. Besides growth factors glyco-proteins and antioxidants help repair, maintain and protect skin from the visible signs of photo-damage. These snail secretions improve fine lines and hydrate, producing softer skin.

Extra emmolliance helps provide additional hydration for mature skin types
Helps skin appear smoother and brighter
Helps address advanced signs of aging

(The snails at the farm in Spain escape any harm in this process)

As a result of its strong performance, Biopelle Tensage Advanced Cream makes it to our top products list!

This product is available for on-line purchase via our web store.

ALASTIN

Alastin Skin Nectar features Skincare TriHex. This technology's approach entails treating aging skin with selected peptides and botanicals that target the extracellular matrix. The Skin Nectar helps to enzymatically clear damaged proteins stuck in the extracellular matrix (between the cells). The product also stimulates and supports the skin’s natural ability to produce elastin and collagen. In addition, antioxidants and Arnica Montana help to calm and reduce redness. In summary, we love the Skin Nectar pre- and post our deeper laser treatments because it boosts results while reducing downtime.

SkinMedica

HA⁵ Smooth and Plump Lip System

The SkinMedica HA5 lip plumper is a system that features ingredients similar to hyaluronic acid. Lips incorporate it in addition to the blend of proteins that it contains thereby enhancing fullness and volume. These anti-aging ingredients protect, smooth and plump your lips. This clinically tested, two-step lip treatment decreases an aging appearance, such as the look of fine lines, improves contour, and enhances the fullness of lips. It's generally used alone or as the complement to lip filler because it prolongs how long that will last.

Because it is a strong performer the SkinMedica HA5 lip plumper system makes it to this top products list! This product is available for on-line purchase via our web store. Incidentally, as a member of the Allergan family, a lip plumper or other SkinMedica purchase counts towards your Brilliant Distinctions Points Rewards

LATISSE®

Latisse® 5ml lusher lashes is the first and only FDA-approved treatment prescription for lusher eyelashes. Latisse grows eyelashes for people who have inadequate or not enough lashes. As we age, our eyelashes generally become thinner, lighter, and shorter. A once daily prescription treatment applied to base of the upper lashes will grow eyelashes longer, fuller, and darker. In 10 to 12 weeks, you will notice remarkable results! Compared to other products out there we have just NEVER seen it NOT work! Finally, Latisse® has a very long established safety record as it was used for certain eye-conditions for many years. (Latisse® qualifies for rewards at Brilliant Distinctions by Allergan, the maker of Botox® and Juvederm®) Follow this link to the world of Lusher Lashes

Because it is a strong performer Latisse® 5ml lusher lashes is in the top "go-to" products list at MindYourSkin! This product is available for on-line purchase via our web store.
