Medical-Grade Skincare
Achieving a refined aesthetic requires more than just in-office procedures; it requires a daily commitment to your skin’s health. While we can contour the face and body with surgery, the quality of the skin itself—its texture, tone, and luminosity—is determined by how you treat it at home. Skincare is the non-negotiable foundation of beauty. It's the daily ritual that protects your investment and ensures radiant skin for the long term.
Skincare products fall into two categories: over-the-counter and medical-grade. Medical-grade skincare differs in the concentration of active ingredients and the depth of penetration. These products are formulated to reach the dermis, where real change happens, rather than sitting on the surface like many drugstore brands.
At the MODERN Plastic Surgery and Medspa, we curate a collection of science-backed lines that utilize clinical levels of retinol, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid. These are not just cover-ups; they are functional treatments designed to correct skin function at a cellular level.
Switching to a medical-grade routine offers benefits that go beyond basic hygiene. The primary advantage is efficacy. Because these products contain higher concentrations of actives, they deliver real results faster.
Everyone with skin is a candidate for a better routine. Whether you have sensitive skin prone to redness, oily skin battling breakouts, or dry skin that needs intense hydration, there is a medical-grade solution for you. We treat patients of every skin type and age.
We offer a diverse range of products to address every skin concern. Here's a closer look at the lines we carry and what they can do for you.
Backed by extensive research, SkinMedica is a leader in growth factor technology. Their products are designed to leverage your skin's natural healing properties. We often recommend their TNS® Advanced+ Serum for patients wanting to smooth deep wrinkles and improve texture. They also offer exceptional hydration products utilizing hyaluronic acid to plump the skin.
Alastin is the go-to choice for peri-procedure care. Their TriHex Technology® helps clear out damaged collagen and elastin to make way for new, healthy tissue. We love Alastin for patients undergoing laser treatments or surgery, as their formulas significantly reduce downtime and enhance results.
Skinbetter Science is for the patient who wants uncomplicated but powerful results. Their AlphaRet® Overnight Cream is a game-changer, combining a retinoid with an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) for effective rejuvenation with little to no irritation. This line is excellent for achieving radiance without the peeling often associated with aggressive skincare.
Revision is known for targeting difficult areas like the neck and eyes. Their Nectifirm® is the gold standard for neck rejuvenation, while their Vitamin C lotions provide a brightening effect that combats environmental damage.
For those battling dryness or sensitive skin, Hydrinity offers supercharged hydration. Their proprietary hyaluronic acid technology penetrates deep into the pores to hydrate and repair the skin barrier. It is lightweight yet incredibly effective at locking in moisture.
Building the right routine can be overwhelming. That's why we offer personalized advice. During your consultation, our team analyzes your skin type, discusses your specific concerns, and reviews your previous product history to see what gave you trouble in the past. We don't just hand you a bottle and wish you the best. We design a regimen. We help you determine which cleansers, serums, and moisturizers will work in harmony to achieve the best results. Prep your skin for success by letting us guide you.
Your daily routine should be taken as seriously as the recovery from a surgical procedure. Consistency is key.
Switching to medical-grade products requires an adjustment period. You might experience mild exfoliation or "purging" as your skin turnover accelerates. This is normal. We recommend starting active ingredients slowly (like every other night) until your skin builds tolerance. We're here to guide you through the process, ensuring you stick with it long enough to see the amazing effects. Add calming masks to your weekly rotation if you feel dry or irritated.
Real results take time. While you may notice soft skin and immediate hydration after one week, true structural changes take 4–6 weeks as the skin cycle renews. Over time, you will notice a reduction in fine lines, clearer pores, and a radiant glow. The goal is supple, healthy skin that looks good naked.
Medical-grade skincare is an investment, but it's often more cost-effective than wasting money on drugstore products that don't work. The price of your routine will vary based on the number of products you add to cart. Whether you add just a cleanser and SPF or a full system, we can work within your budget to find the most impactful items for you.
Access to top-tier skincare should be simple. Our team understands the biology of skin and selects only the products that have proven their worth clinically. When you add products to your cart and shop with us, you can trust that every bottle contains safety and science to back it up.
Stop guessing when it comes to your skin. Clear acne, smooth wrinkles, or simply achieve a fresh glow with the best skincare tools available. Find the right solutions with our team. Visit our shop or schedule a consultation to build your perfect routine.

Absolutely. We often mix serums from SkinMedica with cleansers from Revision to create a custom routine that targets your specific concerns.

Yes. Brands like Hydrinity and SkinBetter Science are designed specifically for sensitive and post-procedure skin to reduce redness and irritation.
Prevention is easier than correction. We recommend starting a good routine with SPF and antioxidants in your 20s to maintain collagen and smooth texture.

Yes, you can add masks once or twice a week to hydrate dry areas or treat oily zones for a deeper clean.
The general rule is to add products from thinnest to thickest. Start with liquids, add serums, then add creams.
