Skin Care

Skin care is one of the most valuable ways you can maintain a healthy, youthful complexion. Whether you want to preserve your skin or repair damage, our board-certified plastic surgeon and our staff can create a customized treatment plan and skincare regimen to help you put your best face forward. We offer a large variety of effective, medical-grade products to help you achieve radiant skin you will feel proud to reveal.

How Can Medical-Grade Skincare Improve My Complexion?

A physician-recommended skincare regimen tailored to your individual needs is the foundation of a healthy, youthful complexion. On top of incorporating scientifically-supported and clinically tested formulations into your skincare routine, medical-grade products can more effectively target specific skin conditions — such as pigmentation, large pores, sun damage, and wrinkles, among other issues — when compared to over-the-counter products. With advanced product lines available including Defenage and ISDIN^®, the medical-grade products at Miller Cosmetic Surgery offer:

A higher potency of active skin-enhancing ingredients, such as retinoids, antioxidants, peptides, and alpha hydroxy acids: This can accomplish a variety of goals, such as stimulating cell turnover, promoting collagen production, and helping fade hyperpigmentation.
Advanced delivery systems to penetrate the deeper skin layers: By targeting your concerns in the depths of the dermis, medical-grade products can help reduce acne or congestion, smooth an uneven texture, and improve hydration and barrier function.
Longer periods of testing for efficacy: Often developed by dermatologists and skincare specialists, physician-grade skincare is clinically tested for efficacy and backed by peer-reviewed studies.
A safer, more regulated manufacturing process: Products are typically manufactured under stricter guidelines, often requiring oversight or guidance from licensed professionals.
Long-term rejuvenation achieved faster than over-the-counter products: With consistent application, high-quality skincare products can redefine the skin texture and minimize pores, balance oil production and improve hydration, or support the skin’s natural growth process, leading to a youthful, glowing complexion.

Medical-grade skincare can address the root causes of skin issues (like inflammation, uneven pigmentation, and cellular aging) with more effective, science-backed formulations. They are best used under the guidance of a skincare professional to ensure the right product matches your unique skin needs.

LightStim Elipsa

LightStim Elipsa is a non-invasive device that uses light energy to reduce wrinkles, acne, and inflammation. Using LED light therapy, LightStim emits different wavelengths to the skin without making actual contact with the face. Similar to how plants absorb sunlight, the Elipsa device can restore a plump, healthier look to enhance the entire skin tone and texture. Depending on whether you’d like to treat wrinkles or acne, LightStim is generally used for 12 to 16 minutes for three to five days per week.
