Dr. Dennis Gross Shares Skin Success Secrets At Milagro Spa


Successful skincare is the result realizing the synergy between medical treatments, professional services and retail products for effective at-home care. That was the message Dr. Dennis Gross, M.D., a practicing dermatologist and board certified dermatological surgeon in New York City, shared with clients of the Atlantic Club’s Milagro Spa in Manasquan recently.

“In the realm of beauty treatments at home we are starting to see revolutionary developments,” Dr. Gross told the approximately 45 women attending his three April 5 lectures. Dr. Gross has been featured Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar, and he has been a guest on television shows including The Today Show, The Early Show, Entertainment Tonight and Extra! The doctor developed the MD Skincare line of Topical Supplements that enable women to treat skin problems they encounter as they age.

“The women attending Dr. Gross’ lectures asked a lot of good questions and they all stayed to for a one-on-one skin analysis and consultation when he finished,” said Milagro Spa Manager Carly Inmen.Dr. Gross said the impact of aging on skin around the forehead, eyes and mouth is very predictable. Genetics, exposure to the sun, and wear-and-tare come into play. His approach is to target the main problem with an individual’s skin and develop a home regimen that addresses it. However, he said, the best skin care products address multiple skin needs.

“Use products that do more than one thing, such as products that include a cleanser, toner and makeup. All-in-one products serve the greater good,” he said. Dr. Gross recommends that women use skin products that are not harsh so they can be used every day. His Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel is a two-step at-home peel that is a non–irritating method of removing cellular debris from the surface of the skin, resulting in a smoother, firmer, more even complexion. His daily face peel works for aging, redness and sensitivity as well as hyper pigmentation that causes sunspots and discoloration. Dr. Gross is highly regarded as the first to develop a skin peel gentle enough for daily home use. As a skin cancer doctor who trained, taught and performed research at world-renowned institutes such as Memorial Sloan Kettering and Rockefeller University, Dr. Gross said he has discovered that, no matter what your goal, the key is always to maintain the balance of your skin. To accomplish balance it is necessary to avoid harsh products. “Skin is like muscle in that it is better to work a little every day than to work out hard once a week,” he said.

Collagen is essential to staving off the aging process and using products with ingredients that provide collagen at an early stage of skin problems will help skin to produce collagen. He has addressed this need with Hydra Pure products that fight aging. MD Skincare’s Super Antioxidant Complex provides a natural defense against harmful free radicals. Women living in this part of the country are exposed to high levels of calcium and magnesium, free radicals that breakdown collagen, change a person’s skin oils and contribute to sun damage. Magnesium, found naturally in drinking, is a heavy metal that is not neutralized by anti-oxidants.

Dr. Gross developed the technology for a unique Hydra-Pure Chelating Complex™, the first of its kind, which effectively addresses free radicals from environmental aggressors such as impure tap water, sun and pollution. He was the first to incorporate chelators, which prevent environmental aging and inflammation, into a skincare line.

“Heavy metals become part of the skin. You cannot simply wash them off,” he said.
