Skin Care

Procedure Process
& Ideal Candidates

As part of our Medi Spa, we strive to offer and recommend only the highest-quality skincare products for you to incorporate into your daily routine. Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jeffrey Antimarino, actively oversees and works hand in hand with our providers to source the finest medical-grade products.

Our skincare products are available at our Shadyside and Monroeville office locations. Below is a list of our product inventory, along with a description of their primary ingredients and benefits.

What To Consider When Choosing Your Skin Care

Ingredients

Look for products that contain clinically proven active ingredients such as retinoids (like retinol or tretinoin), vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and growth factors. These ingredients should be present in effective concentrations to deliver results.

Consult a Provider

Consult with a practice provider if you have specific skin conditions or are unsure about which products would be most beneficial for your skin type.

Skincare Regimen

Consider the overall skincare regimen—products should complement each other and work synergistically to address your skin concerns without causing irritation or adverse reactions.

Schedule Your Skin Care Consultation

If you are interested in enhancing your daily skin care routine with one or more of our products, we would like to extend a complimentary skin care consultation to you. Our providers can help assess your current skin care routine, address your concerns, and ultimately help you define the right routine for you to achieve healthier skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best skincare routine?

The best skincare routine varies based on individual skin type and concerns. However, a basic routine typically includes cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and sunscreen during the day. Nighttime routines may involve additional treatments like serums or retinoids.

How often should I exfoliate?

Exfoliation frequency depends on your skin type and the type of exfoliant used. For most people, 1-3 times per week is sufficient to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. Over-exfoliation can irritate the skin, so adjust based on how your skin responds.

Do I really need to wear sunscreen every day?

Yes, sunscreen is essential daily, even on cloudy days or indoors. It protects against harmful UV rays that can cause skin damage, premature aging, and skin cancer.

What ingredients should I look for in anti-aging products?

Effective anti-aging ingredients include retinoids (like retinol or tretinoin), vitamin C, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants (such as vitamins E and B3). These ingredients help reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, and promote collagen production.

How can I treat acne-prone skin without making it worse?

Use gentle cleansers and non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) products. Look for ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to help clear acne. Avoid excessive scrubbing or harsh products that can irritate and exacerbate acne.

What should I do if my skin is sensitive to skincare products?

If you have sensitive skin, choose products labeled for sensitive skin or those free from fragrances and harsh chemicals.

Is it okay to mix skincare products from different brands?

Mixing products from different brands is generally acceptable if each product suits your skin type and concerns. However, be cautious when combining active ingredients like retinoids or acids to avoid overloading your skin and causing irritation.
