Medical-grade skincare contains higher concentrations of active ingredients and clinically proven formulations that can reach deeper layers of the skin. These products are backed by research, deliver measurable results, and are only offered through licensed providers like Refined Aesthetics. Over-the-counter products often stay on the surface and provide more cosmetic, temporary benefits.
A consultation isn’t required, but it’s highly recommended. Medical-grade products are powerful, and choosing the right combination ensures you get the best results for your skin goals—whether it’s aging, pigmentation, acne, or sensitivity. Our providers can help tailor a routine perfectly for you.
Yes—when used correctly. Medical-grade skincare is formulated for all skin types, but some actives (like retinoids, acids, or potent brighteners) may require professional guidance. We can help select products that work with your unique skin needs and sensitivities.
Results vary by product and skin concern, but most clients notice visible improvement within 4–12 weeks. Medical-grade skincare works below the surface to stimulate collagen, repair the skin barrier, brighten tone, and reduce inflammation—changes that take time to build but produce lasting results.
Yes, but not all products pair well together. Some ingredients cancel each other out or can cause irritation when layered incorrectly. Our team can review your routine and recommend a safe, effective order for use.
Consistency is key. Some products (like Vitamin C, moisturizers, and sunscreen) are designed for daily use, while others (like retinol or exfoliants) may be used a few times a week. Follow the product instructions or ask our providers for personalized guidance.
Medical-grade products often speed up cell turnover and stimulate renewal, making your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Daily SPF prevents sun damage, protects your investment, and ensures your products work effectively. We recommend broad-spectrum mineral SPF—especially from Colorescience.
es—and some are specifically designed for post-procedure healing (like Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar). However, avoid strong actives right after treatments unless instructed by your provider. We’ll guide you on what to use before and after your appointment.
Absolutely. Because they contain higher-quality, clinically proven ingredients, you often need less product and see faster, more dramatic results compared to drugstore items. They’re designed to create long-term improvements, not temporary fixes.
Start with your biggest skin goals—anti-aging, hydration, brightening, acne, or sensitivity. Our providers can help select the right products, simplify your routine, and ensure everything works together to support healthy, glowing skin.
Skincare and treatments work best together. In-office services give quicker, more targeted results, while medical-grade products extend and enhance those results between visits. Think of treatments as the boost and skincare as the maintenance.
If you choose just one medical-grade product, make it daily SPF. Sunscreen prevents 90% of visible aging and protects your results. But for maximum impact, a simple trio works best: Vitamin C in the morning, Retinol at night, and SPF daily.
The program combines professional treatments, personalized products, and lifestyle guidance to clear acne safely and effectively. Your provider will build a personalized at-home routine using Face Reality® products chosen specifically for your skin type and acne type. This routine is essential for achieving and maintaining clear skin.
