Choosing the right skincare product can be challenging when faced with so many options available at the store or online. Over-the-counter options like Sephora or CVS may seem like a money-saving solution, but do they really work? In our practice, we assist patients in establishing and creating a comprehensive at-home skincare routine so they can optimize their surgical and non-surgical treatments. Skincare practices are an essential part of self-care, so the products you incorporate into those routines should also be carefully considered.
Our knowledgeable team is ready to guide you through all your skincare options and help you find the perfect regimen for your unique beauty journey. If you would like to schedule a skin and skincare consultation with one of our Medical Aestheticians, give us a call at 202-785-4187 or submit a request on our website.
