About This Treatment

Why Medical-

Grade

Skincare?

Medical-grade skincare differs from many consumer products in a few ways: active ingredients such as retinoids, vitamin C and growth factors are used at clinical strengths, formulas are based on clinical research, and products are recommended after a skin assessment rather than picked off a shelf. Our own compounded vitamin C serum is preservative-free and kept refrigerated to protect its strength, and our compounded retinol serum is prepared for our patients.

Also known as: medical-grade skincare, prescription skincare, clinical skincare, physician-directed skincare, professional skincare consultation, compounded vitamin C serum, compounded retinol serum, medical skin care products, cosmeceuticals

Frequently Asked Questions

What is medical-grade skincare?

Medical-grade skincare products contain active ingredients at concentrations chosen for clinical use, are formulated based on clinical research and are available through licensed medical professionals. Our team builds a regimen around your skin analysis.

Is medical skincare worth the investment?

It depends on your goals. These products contain evidence-based active ingredients such as retinoids and vitamin C, and they can help support the results of in-clinic treatments. Our physician-led team recommends what suits your skin.

Can I use drugstore products instead?

Many drugstore products are useful for daily care. Medical-grade products contain active ingredients at concentrations chosen to change how the skin behaves over time, such as its texture and pigment, and our physician-led team can advise on a combination that suits you.

How long before I see results?

Changes in texture and radiance often appear within 2 to 4 weeks, and changes in pigmentation and fine lines develop over 2 to 3 months. Results vary.
