About the treatment
Skin care is a range of practices that support skin integrity, enhance its appearance, and relieve skin conditions. They can include nutrition, avoidance of excessive sun exposure, and appropriate use of emollients. Practices that enhance appearance include the use of cosmetics, botulinum, exfoliation, fillers, laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion, peels, retinol therapy,[1] and ultrasonic skin treatment.[2] Skin care is a routine daily procedure in many settings, such as skin that is either too dry or too moist, and prevention of dermatitis and prevention of skin injuries.[3]
Skin care is a part of the treatment of wound healing, radiation therapy and some medications.
Background
Skin care is at the interface of cosmetics[4] and dermatology.[5]
The US Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act defines cosmetics as products intended to cleanse or beautify (for instance, shampoos and lipstick). A separate category exists for medications, which are intended to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease, or to affect the structure or function of the body (for instance, sunscreens and acne creams), although some products, such as moisturizing sunscreens and anti-dandruff shampoos, are regulated within both categories.[4][6]
Skin care differs from dermatology by its inclusion of non-physician professionals, such as estheticians and wound care nursing staff.[1][7] Skin care includes modifications of individual behavior and of environmental and working conditions.[7]

Patient succes stories
Marti
My husband and I have been traveling and needed a way to de-stress. I emailed over the weekend and called and Dr. Gwin, the person I wanted to speak with, was out of town. However, Eric, the Co-director, put us in touch with Bev and she came in on her day off to accommodate our schedule to do some craniosacral therapy. Eric even contacted me to be sure that appointment was going to work. All more than I would have expected! We arrived and just upon entering, felt the tensions beginning to leave. The atmosphere is so supportive! We also decided to take an infrared sauna and “whole body vibration therapy,” which I had never tried. I highly recommend both! Most of all, I recommend the practitioners. This is a true gold mine! THANK YOU!

The practitioners are highly skilled and work together to create a full range of modalities under one roof. The facility exudes peacefulness, warmth and love. The products that are used are of the highest quality. This high level of professionalism starts at the top with Dr. Gwin Stewart. Congratulations to Dr. Stewart on creating an exceptional health and wellness collaborative. Our community is blessed to have the St. Louis Wellness Center in our neighborhood.
