Achieving and maintaining beautiful, healthy skin requires more than over-the-counter products found at your local drugstore. Medical-grade skincare products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients, backed by rigorous clinical testing, and formulated to deliver measurable results. At AestheticEye, serving Cincinnati and Dayton, OH, Dr. Ginger Henson and Dr. Jonathan Pargament carefully curate a selection of the finest cosmeceutical lines available, ensuring our patients have access to scientifically-advanced formulations that complement their aesthetic treatments and support long-term skin health.
The Science Behind Medical-Grade Skincare
What distinguishes medical-grade skincare from department store alternatives? The difference lies in the formulation, concentration, and delivery of active ingredients. Medical-grade products, also known as cosmeceuticals, bridge the gap between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. They undergo extensive clinical trials, contain pharmaceutical-grade ingredients at therapeutic concentrations, and are designed to penetrate deeper layers of the skin where real transformation occurs.
These professional products are exclusively available through medical practices and licensed professionals who understand skin physiology and can recommend appropriate regimens based on your unique needs. The formulations we offer at AestheticEye work synergistically with our surgical and non-surgical treatments, helping to prepare skin for procedures, accelerate healing, and maintain your beautiful results long-term.
Why Choose Professional Skincare Products?
Investing in medical-grade skincare offers several significant advantages over retail alternatives:
- Higher Concentrations of Active Ingredients: Pharmaceutical-grade formulations contain potent levels of proven ingredients like retinoids, peptides, growth factors, and antioxidants that deliver visible results
- Superior Penetration: Advanced delivery systems ensure active ingredients reach deeper skin layers where cellular transformation occurs
- Clinically Proven Results: Extensive research and clinical trials validate the efficacy of medical-grade products
- Complementary to Treatments: Professional skincare enhances and prolongs the results of surgical procedures, injectables, and laser treatments
- Customized Recommendations: Our expert team evaluates your skin type, concerns, and goals to create a personalized regimen
- Quality and Purity: Pharmaceutical-grade ingredients meet stringent quality standards for safety and effectiveness
- Professional Guidance: Access to ongoing support and adjustments to your skincare routine as your needs evolve
“Beautiful results from any aesthetic procedure begin with healthy skin,” notes Dr. Henson. “The right medical-grade skincare regimen is essential for preparing skin for treatment, supporting optimal healing, and maintaining your rejuvenated appearance for years to come.”
Our Curated Selection of Premium Skincare Lines
At AestheticEye, we proudly offer four exceptional medical-grade skincare lines, each bringing unique benefits and innovations to address diverse skin concerns:
Alastin Skincare
Alastin Skincare has revolutionized the field of aesthetic medicine with its patented TriHex Technology®, which supports the skin’s natural ability to produce new collagen and elastin while clearing damaged proteins that accumulate from aging, sun exposure, and environmental damage. This innovative approach helps maintain and extend the results of cosmetic procedures while improving overall skin quality.
The Alastin product line includes specialized formulations designed to prepare skin before procedures, accelerate healing afterward, and maintain results long-term. From their renowned Regenerating Skin Nectar to their comprehensive daily skincare essentials, Alastin offers scientifically-backed solutions that work at the cellular level to support skin rejuvenation. These products are particularly effective when used in conjunction with surgical procedures, injectables, and laser treatments, making them an essential component of comprehensive aesthetic care.
Plated Skin Science
Plated Skin Science represents a groundbreaking advancement in regenerative skincare, harnessing the power of platelet-derived exosomes to rejuvenate aging skin at the cellular level. Their proprietary Renewosome™ technology delivers a pure, potent blend of growth factors and signaling molecules that communicate directly with skin cells, triggering natural renewal processes that restore youthful vitality.
Unlike traditional anti-aging products that primarily work on the skin’s surface, Plated penetrates deeply to stimulate collagen production, improve texture and tone, and enhance overall skin health from within. Clinically proven to reduce fine lines, improve radiance, and restore a more youthful appearance, Plated offers professional-grade results without needles or downtime. This cutting-edge line translates decades of regenerative medicine research into elegant daily skincare that delivers transformative results for patients seeking the most advanced scientific solutions available.
SkinCeuticals
SkinCeuticals has earned its reputation as a gold standard in medical-grade skincare through decades of pioneering research and unwavering commitment to scientific excellence. Founded by a renowned dermatologist, this pharmaceutical-grade line is built on three foundational principles: prevent future damage, protect healthy skin, and correct previous damage. Every SkinCeuticals formulation undergoes rigorous clinical testing to ensure optimal efficacy, stability, and absorption.
The brand is perhaps best known for its exceptional antioxidant serums, particularly the iconic C E Ferulic, which provides advanced environmental protection while improving signs of aging and photodamage. SkinCeuticals offers comprehensive solutions addressing a wide spectrum of concerns—from pigmentation and aging to acne and sensitive skin. Their evidence-based approach ensures that each product delivers measurable results, making SkinCeuticals a trusted choice among dermatologists and plastic surgeons worldwide. Whether you’re seeking prevention, correction, or maintenance, SkinCeuticals provides scientifically-validated formulations that deliver on their promises.

Image Skincare combines cutting-edge scientific innovation with the power of nature to create effective, results-driven formulations for every skin type and concern. This physician-founded line features high-performance botanical ingredients alongside proven pharmaceutical compounds, offering a balanced approach to skin health that addresses both immediate concerns and long-term wellness.
From their targeted treatment collections addressing specific concerns like aging, acne, and hyperpigmentation to their gentle daily essentials suitable for sensitive skin, Image Skincare provides comprehensive solutions backed by clinical research. Their commitment to safety means all products are paraben-free, formulated without artificial fragrances, and never tested on animals. Image Skincare’s diverse range makes it accessible for patients at any stage of their skincare journey, from those just beginning to explore medical-grade products to experienced users seeking specialized treatments for complex concerns.
Enhancing Your Treatment Results
Medical-grade skincare plays a crucial role in maximizing outcomes from surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures. Whether you’re undergoing blepharoplasty, receiving injectables, or considering laser treatments, the right skincare regimen enhances results and supports optimal healing.
Before any procedure, preparing your skin with appropriate medical-grade products can improve tissue quality, accelerate healing, and reduce the risk of complications. Post-procedure, specialized formulations support recovery, minimize downtime, and help maintain your beautiful results. Long-term use of professional skincare protects your investment in aesthetic treatments, slowing the aging process and preserving your rejuvenated appearance.
Dr. Pargament and Dr. Henson work closely with patients to develop customized skincare protocols that complement their treatment plans. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin’s unique needs, discuss your concerns and goals, and recommend specific products and routines tailored to achieve optimal outcomes.
