At Bespoke Dentistry & Aesthetics, we see skin as a reflection of your overall well-being. That’s why we’re not just about smiles; we’re passionate about helping you achieve your healthiest, most radiant skin from the inside out. We know it can be overwhelming to navigate the world of skincare, so we want to share our insights and guide you on your journey to a glowing complexion. Today, we're diving deep into the future of aesthetics, exploring how preventative skincare, hormonal balance, and the food we eat play crucial roles in how our skin looks and feels. It's time we move beyond just topical treatments and embrace a truly holistic approach.

Staying Informed in the Ever-Evolving World of Aesthetics

One of the things we love most about aesthetics is that it’s a constantly evolving field, and there’s always something new to learn! A fantastic way we stay in the know, and how we believe you can too, is through platforms like YouTube. There's a wealth of amazing, informative videos coming out from dermatologists and other experts. We encourage you to seek out these resources. Listening to professionals break down the science of skincare and seeing the results they achieve is so valuable. We, at Bespoke, want to provide you with the best care based on the most recent findings.

Beyond video content, we highly recommend reading reviews and scientific articles, too. Understanding the science behind skincare is empowering, and it allows you to make informed decisions about your skincare choices. For example, you might find a wealth of information in resources like peer-reviewed journals which often publish fascinating scientific articles about the skin. These articles provide insights into how different ingredients work at a cellular level and how treatments might impact your skin in the long run. As we explore these scientific developments, we can clearly see how these findings will undoubtedly transition into the aesthetic world, and it’s something we are constantly researching to make sure you're receiving the most cutting edge care.

The Prevailing Trend: Preventative Skincare

One major shift we’re seeing in aesthetics is the move towards preventative skincare. It's no longer just about treating issues as they arise, but about proactively caring for your skin to prevent them from occurring in the first place. Think of it as starting early to build a strong foundation for healthy, resilient skin in the long run. At Bespoke, we believe this proactive approach is essential for maintaining a youthful and vibrant complexion.

What does this mean for you? It means becoming more conscious of the products you use and their ingredients. The reality is, what you put on your skin is absorbed into your bloodstream, so being mindful of the ingredients is critical. We’re seeing a shift in consumers who are becoming more educated and aware of what they’re placing on their skin. It’s an exciting trend, and we’re here to support you in learning to make the best choices for your unique skin. We can guide you in the best practices during your consultation with our talented esthetician, Beth.

The Impact of Hormones on Skin Health

Hormones play an enormous role in the health and appearance of our skin, and it's a topic we discuss frequently with our patients here in San Diego. It’s incredible how much our skin can change throughout our lives due to fluctuations in our hormone levels. We experience these changes during adolescence, pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause. These hormonal shifts can trigger various skin concerns, and understanding this connection is the first step to managing them effectively.

Take pregnancy, for example. It’s a beautiful time, but it can also bring along increased sensitivity to melasma. These brown or gray patches on the skin are caused by hormonal changes and can be frustrating for many women. We understand these challenges and want you to know we are here to help. As Beth always says, if you have any questions on how you can make your hormones work for your skin, we encourage you to discuss this during your consultation with her. We can then develop a treatment plan that's tailored to your specific needs and goals. Hormones affect us all differently, so creating a treatment plan as unique as you are, is extremely important to us.

The Crucial Role of Diet and Allergies

As much as we at Bespoke love skincare and the amazing results from our treatments, we also understand that what we put into our bodies matters just as much. Your diet, just like your hormones, plays a huge role in your skin's appearance. We’ve learned that our skin often reflects our internal health, and it’s a powerful reminder of the mind-body connection. Think of the gut-skin axis, which simply means, that when your gut health is unbalanced, this will often manifest in the appearance of your skin.

One of the most helpful steps you can take towards healthier skin is identifying any food allergies or sensitivities. There are blood panels that can help pinpoint what you might be allergic to. You’d be amazed at how often these allergies and intolerances can manifest as skin problems. For example, Beth, our esthetician, realized she had an allergy to citric acid and was constantly experiencing cystic acne along her jawline. Once she removed citric acid from her diet, her jawline cleared, and her skin transformed. It was truly a life-changing moment! So many patients have had similar experiences once they began to pay attention to their diet. This experience helps us advocate for you to consider your diet when managing your skincare concerns.

We really believe that dietary adjustments can make a world of difference to your skin. We encourage you to explore whether any of your current diet may be triggering your skin issues. We’re here to guide you on this journey!

Bespoke's Commitment to Your Skin Health

At Bespoke Dentistry & Aesthetics, under the expert care of Dr. Leah Stempfle, we are committed to providing you with a holistic approach to skincare. We believe that optimal skin health is achieved through a combination of informed choices, preventative practices, an understanding of hormonal influences, and a mindful diet. We want you to know that you are not alone in navigating the ever-evolving world of skincare. We are here to listen, educate, and empower you to make choices that support your unique needs and goals. Your skincare journey is as unique as you are!

What to Expect During Your Consultation at Our San Diego Practice

During your consultation at our San Diego practice, we'll take the time to listen to your concerns and goals. We’ll discuss your medical history, current skincare routine, and lifestyle factors that might be impacting your skin. From there, we'll work together to create a tailored treatment plan. That plan may include a range of customized skincare treatments, such as medical-grade facials, laser therapies, microneedling, and targeted skincare products. We may also discuss dietary changes or further testing for sensitivities, or recommend that you seek help from other experts to address hormonal concerns.

Our Skincare Philosophy

We’re here to emphasize, once again, that our skincare philosophy at Bespoke is rooted in prevention, education, and personalized care. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We believe in getting to know you and your skin story to give you the most comprehensive care. We’re passionate about not just making your skin look its best, but making sure it's healthy and balanced.
