DEBRA’S JOURNEY TO HEALTHIER SKIN

-

Debra George-Gabruch fought and won a tough battle with cancer, a struggle that she felt was reflected in her appearance. “After battling cancer, I needed a little bit of a lift. I was ready for a change,” says GeorgeGabr­uch.

Farm life means George-Gabruch is busy outdoors, spring through fall. “There was concern about age spots and sun damage.” She also wondered if chemo and radiation treatments had taken a toll on her skin.

“I found out about Dr. DemkiwBart­el when I took my neighbor to an appointmen­t at her medical clinic. I noticed some skin care products displayed on a shelf and that tweaked my interest. I did some research on my own on the products and called for a consultati­on.”

During that consultati­on, GeorgeGabr­uch expressed the concerns she had about her skin. “I wanted to perk up my face and my neck, address the fine lines round my eyes and the brown spots.”

Dr. Demkiw-Bartel created a custom skin-care protocol that includes a cleanser, scrub exfoliator, vitamin C serum, exfoliatio­n gel, retinol and sun screen. “Debra opted to do physician and home microneedl­ing to maximize her results, incorporat­ing various anti-aging peptides, hyaluronic acid and plant-based stem cell preparatio­ns. All of these combine for multiple mechanisms of action to achieve results,” says Dr. DemkiwBart­el.

George-Gabruch says her morning and night skin care routines have become a daily habit. “I know it takes that five minutes and I just do it. I can see the results and I know it’s working beautifull­y. I love the products; they’re awesome.”

Within a month, George-Gabruch started seeing the results of her customized skin care protocol. “I started to see my skin look brighter, shinier and fresher. People have said, ‘Wow, your skin looks terrific. What have you been doing?’”

Two years later, George-Gabruch continues to rely on Dr. DemkiwBart­el for skin care guidance. “She’s an awesome lady and so easy to work with. She really listens to your concerns. It’s an excellent program.”
