At MiraMed and Day Spa, we believe that 80% of your skincare results happen at home, while the remaining 20% comes from professional medspa treatments–the 80/20 Rule. Understanding and applying this principle is the key to maintaining radiant, youthful skin year-round.
Let’s dive into how this simple rule can dramatically improve your skincare routine—and how we’re here to perfect that essential 20%.
What is the 80/20 Rule in Skincare?
The 80/20 Rule, borrowed from the Pareto Principle, suggests that a small portion of your efforts (in this case, medspa treatments) delivers a large portion of visible results when paired with consistent at-home care. While microneedling, chemical peels, and facials offer powerful transformations, your daily regimen sets the stage and sustains the glow.
At-home skincare, especially when guided by medical-grade recommendations, does the heavy lifting. Medspa treatments refine and enhance those results, targeting deeper layers of the skin that topical products can’t always reach.
Why At-Home Skincare is 80% of the Glow
To truly maximize your medspa investment, your daily routine must include high-quality, science-backed products. Two essentials? Vitamin C and retinols.
🧴 The Power of Vitamin C:
- Brightens skin tone
- Fights free radicals and pollution damage
- Boosts collagen production
- Improves skin texture and radiance
💫 The Magic of Retinols:
- Stimulates cell turnover
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Minimizes acne and congestion
- Evens out pigmentation
At MiraMed and Day Spa, our providers recommend medically proven formulations of these active ingredients, designed to work in tandem with your in-office medspa treatments.
How Medspa Treatments Make Up the Final 20%
While at-home skincare maintains and builds healthy skin, medspa treatments deliver targeted, accelerated results. Think of them as your skincare “boosters”—essential for tackling deeper concerns and jumpstarting your glow.
✨ Our Most Popular Treatments Include:
- Microneedling: Stimulates collagen and elastin to firm skin and reduce acne scars.
- Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL): Targets sun damage, pigmentation, and redness for a clearer, more even complexion.
- Chemical Peels: Improves texture, tone, and pigmentation for a new glow.
- Botox & Fillers: Smooth fine lines and add volume where aging takes its toll.
By combining your home routine with these professional treatments, your skin sees faster, longer-lasting results.
If you’re not sure where to start with your regimen, that’s what we’re here for! Our specialists take a personalized approach, matching you with products and treatments that work harmoniously. We don’t just recommend what’s trendy—we suggest clinically backed solutions tailored to your skin type and goals.
