Dr. Jennifer Janiga is a board-certified dermatologist specializing in cosmetic procedures like injectables, laser and energy treatments, and skin care. She attended medical school at the University of Nevada, Reno, did her residency at Henry Ford Hospital, and completed two fellowships in laser and light-based therapies and in psoriasis. With her exceptional training and 20 years of experience, Dr. Janiga has developed a refreshing approach to cosmetic care. She emphasizes attentive listening and recommendations for a tailored skin care approach with effective and no-BS treatments. Dr. Janiga doesn’t pull punches or just recommend what is “trending.” As a board-certified dermatologist, she follows science and technology to recommend the best and most current treatments to her patients.
Dr. Jennifer Janiga knew she wanted to write Clearing Up Skin Care early in her career when she was introduced to Claire, a woman who came to her with questions about her current skincare routine. Claire had recently purchased a somewhat pricy skin care package, which was working okay, but she wasn’t able to identify which of those products was doing the work. Dr. Janiga sat down with Claire to help her identify the ingredients that were right for her, instead of focusing on brand names. With a custom skin care routine made for her specific concerns and individual skin goals, Claire was able to eliminate and add products so that she was only using what works for her for a routine that she would be happy with for years to come.
Dr. Janiga is still influenced by this case almost 20 years later. Fast forward to the age of social media and influencers, and there is even more reason to help those like Claire find what really works for them. With so many brand-name products and treatments available, it can be difficult and overwhelming for patients to identify what’s right for their skin type and concern. With her husband, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Timothy Janiga, by her side, Dr. Jennifer Janiga wrote Clearing up Skin Care, a comprehensive guide to selecting the ingredients and treatments that are right for you, whether that’s topical products, injectables, lasers, or facial rejuvenation surgery.
In Clearing Up Skin Care, you will find everything you need to know about your skin and what works best for it! Clearing Up Skin Care gets to the root of your skin concerns, helping you determine your skin type, understand the ingredients in your skin care products and what they do, and finally, helping you develop the skin care routine that will really work, while hopefully saving you stress, time, and money on the products that aren’t working. A basic skincare routine does not have to break the bank to achieve healthy skin, but it is important to invest in the right products.
Dr. Janiga understands that there are several different levels to skin care, depending on your age and the extent of your concerns. That’s why she developed “The Ladder” to help her patients understand where they are in terms of the age of their skin. At each rung is the level of attention patients need, starting with topical treatments and ending with surgical procedures. In Clearing up Skin Care, you can get a better idea of which rung you’re at, so you receive the right level of attention to achieve youthful-looking skin, no matter what your age says.
Finally, Dr. Janiga wants you to know how to choose a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to help you with your skin care routine and treatment. Plenty of physicians will offer skin care treatments, but choosing an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon will help ensure that you receive the specialized care you need. She will also clear up common questions and myths she hears about skin care, so you can finally get the honest answers you need.
Everyone has different skin types and skin concerns, from premature aging and dark circles to uneven texture and dark spots. By customizing your skincare routine, you will give your skin the products it needs to target specific skin concerns and maintain long-term skin health. Some of the most common skin types include:
Some people have dry skin and need moisturizing products like rich creams and hyaluronic acid to repair the skin barrier and keep their skin hydrated. More hydrated skin achieves a brighter skin complexion and smoother skin texture.
Others have oily skin or acne-prone skin that may benefit from exfoliating products with salicylic acid or glycolic acid to remove dead skin cells and oil-based impurities, promote cell turnover, and unclog enlarged pores.
Sensitive skin types require gentle cleansers and may need certain products that will calm eczema outbreaks or skin irritation. For example, oil cleansers can effectively dissolve makeup without excessive scrubbing that could irritate the skin.
Once you receive a skincare guide from Dr. Janiga, she will help you select from our wide range of medical-grade skincare products. Medical-grade products contain higher and more active quantities of active ingredients like Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid, and retinol. This makes them more potent so that they can effectively treat the skin with quicker results. Cleansers, moisturizers, eye cream, sun protection, and more are offered from top brands like Alastin, EltaMD, Obagi, SkinMedica, TIZO, and Topix.
