Medical-grade skincare products and procedures offer benefits that over-the-counter products can’t match, including personalized formulas that help restore a youthful appearance as they repair and rebuild skin at the cellular level.
Dr. Gordon Sasaki is a triple board-certified plastic surgeon who initially included medical skincare in post-procedural treatment plans to speed healing and improve surgical outcomes.
The results were so impressive that Dr. Sasaki worked with chemists to develop medical-grade products and procedures offered at his multi-tiered practice, Sasaki Advanced Aesthetic Medical Center, in Pasadena, California.
Read what makes these products and procedures different than their over-the-counter cousins and how they can benefit your skin.
Only available under a physician’s supervision, medical-grade skincare products are formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients than over-the-counter (OTC) products. This makes them a more potent alternative, often solving issues more quickly and effectively.
These ingredients have also been scientifically evaluated and proven to address specific skin concerns, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and aging.
Skincare procedures available at Sasaki Advanced Aesthetic Medical Center that utilize medical-grade products include facial and body peels, microdermabrasion, rosacea treatments, and other services that enhance skin health and promote a youthful appearance.
We also use innovative technologies such as photorejuvenation and radiofrequency (RF) energy to optimize treatment results for teens and adults.
Our InnoVessence Skincare line is formulated to address your skin’s appearance by providing the nutrients necessary for optimal health.
The benefits of medical-grade skincare include:
One of the most significant advantages of medical-grade products is their potency. They contain a higher percentage of active ingredients like retinoids, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants.
This means they can penetrate deeper into the skin’s cellular layers, offering more effective results than OTC options.
Medical-grade products undergo rigorous testing and clinical trials to ensure their safety and efficacy.
These products are backed by scientific research and meet Dr. Sasaki’s rigorous standards for targeting acne, fine lines, uneven skin tone, and other cosmetic issues at a cellular level.
Skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all. Medical-grade products are customizable and tailored to your specific skin type and concerns.
Depending on your needs, Dr. Sasaki or one of our skincare specialists assesses your skin and develops a personalized regimen that provides the best results.
The molecular structure of medical-grade products is designed to enhance absorption. This allows the active ingredients to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, where they can be most effective.
Over-the-counter products often only work on the surface, but medical-grade formulations go beyond repair and rejuvenate from within.
Although some OTC products may provide temporary results, medical-grade skincare focuses on long-term health and improvement.
With consistent use, these products can significantly improve your skin's texture, tone, and overall health, helping you maintain a youthful and radiant complexion over time.
The FDA regulates medical-grade products, ensuring they meet strict safety standards. This regulation means that these products are effective and safe for use when prescribed by a physician, reducing the risk of adverse reactions that can sometimes occur with unregulated OTC products.
Individual results can vary. However, Dr. Sasaki has evaluated and approved every product and technology available at Sasaki Advanced Aesthetic Medical Center.
Our highly trained skincare specialists remain under Dr. Sasaki’s guidance, ensuring your experience meets his expectations for patient safety and satisfaction.
