Cosmetics for skin care are presented in a very large assortment, but not all of them solve specific problems. Directly eliminate the cause, provide a therapeutic effect and get a lasting effect will help specially designed cosmeceuticals that combine treatment and care. Of particular note is the popular cosmeceuticals Ultraceuticals.
About Brand
The path to creating the Ultraceuticals brand began with the opening in 1988 in Australia of dermatologist Jeffrey Heber and his wife, the non-surgical cosmetology clinic Heber Davis Skin Clinic. The procedures carried out by doctors there were highly effective, but to consolidate the results of rejuvenation and improve the skin condition of patients at home, high-quality cosmetics were required.
In the market of that time, the assortment was rather scarce, and most creams did not have the necessary degree of protection against powerful ultraviolet radiation, which was necessary for the country's inhabitants.
In 1998, Dr. Heber, together with the clinic’s specialists, developed and patented a new line of medical cosmetics under the brand name Ultraceuticals. It embodied the best (confirmed by scientific clinical trials) achievements of non-surgical cosmetology.
The brand’s products help solve the problems of premature aging and age-related skin changes, elimination of acne and pigmentation. Special series allow for optimal care and recovery after laser procedures, peelings, mesotherapy and other therapeutic effects.
Today, the Australian cosmeceutical brand Ultraceuticals has gained worldwide recognition and is the undisputed leader in the market of professional corrective cosmetics.
