Medical-Grade Skincare
“Physician-curated skincare regimens for sustained skin health”
Medical-grade skincare products contain active ingredients at clinically effective concentrations — significantly higher than over-the-counter formulations. A physician-directed skincare regimen is the foundation of any skin health program and enhances the results of all in-office treatments.
Treatment Overview
Session Time
Skin assessment and protocol consultation takes 30–45 minutes. Products are dispensed and a usage regimen is provided.
Downtime
None for the consultation. Initial skin adjustment (retinoid initiation) may involve temporary dryness or mild peeling for 2–4 weeks.
Results Timeline
Skin texture and radiance improvement may be noticeable within 4–8 weeks of consistent use. More significant changes in pigmentation and fine lines emerge over 3–6 months.

Dr. Honrado's team performs a detailed skin assessment and builds a customized protocol using physician-dispensed, medical-grade formulations. The regimen is adjusted over time based on the skin's response and treatment goals.
