Let’s be honest—skincare can be confusing. There’s no shortage of advice, influencers, and flashy packaging, but very few products actually deliver the kind of results you can see and feel. That’s why, at About Face Aesthetics, we only recommend medical-grade skincare backed by real science, trusted formulations, and results that support everything we do in the treatment room.

Whether you're visiting us for microneedling, regenerative plasma, skin tightening, or just looking for a skincare reset, what you use at home matters—and we’re here to make it simple.

Medical-grade skincare isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what actually works.

What Makes Skincare “Medical-Grade”?

Medical-grade products are designed with higher concentrations of active ingredients and formulated to penetrate below the surface of the skin. That means they don’t just sit on top and smell nice—they work at the cellular level to improve tone, texture, hydration, pigmentation, and even collagen production. These products are typically only available through licensed providers, because they’re backed by clinical research and designed to pair with professional-grade treatments.

This is especially important if you’re investing in treatments like radio frequency microneedling, regenerative plasma, or post-procedure recovery where you want to protect your skin barrier and maximize results.

Why Drugstore Products Can’t Compare

It’s easy to fall for skincare from beauty retailers or Instagram brands, but many of those products are diluted, fragranced, or contain irritants that don’t play well with sensitive or post-treatment skin. Even if the packaging looks promising, the concentration of active ingredients often isn’t high enough to make a visible difference—or it’s too harsh for consistent use.

At About Face Aesthetics, we help you build a routine that fits your skin type, your goals, and your lifestyle—without all the fluff.

What We Use and Love in Our Office

We carry a curated lineup of medical-grade skincare brands we trust and use ourselves. Each line is hand-selected for specific skin concerns and complements the treatments we perform every day.

SkinBetter Science is known for its multitasking formulas and simplified routines. We love the Alto Defense Serum for environmental protection and the AlphaRet Overnight Cream for combining retinoid benefits without the irritation.

Alastin Skincare is our go-to for skin renewal and recovery, especially after treatments like microneedling or laser. The Regenerating Skin Nectar and Restorative Eye Treatment are client favorites for healing and long-term anti-aging support.

Neocutis offers a powerful lineup of growth factor products that help restore skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration. Their Lumière eye cream and Bio Serum Firm are perfect for anyone noticing early signs of aging or texture changes.

You can explore or reorder any of these through our Shop Skin Care store.

How Skincare Supports In-Office Treatments

The treatments we offer—like microneedling, radio frequency skin tightening, and regenerative plasma—are powerful tools for long-term skin transformation. But what you do at home every morning and night makes all the difference in how your skin looks and behaves between visits.

Medical-grade skincare helps:

• Accelerate healing after procedures
  
  
• Maintain hydration and elasticity
  
  
• Brighten and even skin tone
  
  
• Reduce inflammation, breakouts, and visible pores
  
  
• Extend the life of your results
  
  

It’s not about replacing what we do in the office—it’s about reinforcing it every day from the comfort of your own bathroom.

What to Expect From a Custom Skincare Plan

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your current routine (or help you start one), skin concerns, and long-term goals. You’ll leave with a clear plan—usually 3 to 5 products max—that fits your budget, skin sensitivity, and real life.

We keep it practical. No 12-step routines or overwhelming suggestions. Just what works.
