As a facial plastic surgeon, I’ve dedicated my career to helping patients look and feel their best. While surgery can create transformative results, many people are surprised to learn just how much can be accomplished with consistent, high-quality skincare alone—no scalpel required.
In my Beverly Hills practice, I work with a diverse group of patients: some ready for surgery, others not quite there yet, and many looking for a long-term approach to slow and reverse the visible signs of aging. That’s exactly why I developed Artisa Skincare—to bridge the gap between cosmetic procedures and daily skin health.
Here’s my professional, non-surgical guide to reversing the signs of aging—and how I recommend using medical-grade skincare to support your skin at every stage of the journey.
1. Start With High-Powered Antioxidants
One of the most critical steps in preventing and reversing aging is protecting the skin from oxidative stress. Sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle factors generate free radicals that break down collagen and speed up the aging process.
My go-to solution? Artisa’s Antioxidant Defense Serum
This daily serum is packed with stabilized Vitamin C and ferulic acid—ingredients proven to brighten skin tone, fade discoloration, and neutralize free radical damage. Used consistently, it helps restore luminosity and prevent the formation of new fine lines and age spots.
2. Support the Skin Barrier and Stimulate Repair
As we age, our skin’s ability to repair itself slows. That’s why barrier support and cellular renewal are essential for healthy, resilient skin.
Artisa’s Renewal Repair Cream is a cornerstone of my recommended routine. It provides deep hydration while delivering ingredients that promote healing and regeneration. It’s ideal for post-procedure recovery—but equally powerful in a non-surgical regimen focused on aging gracefully.
3. Integrate Retinoids Thoughtfully
Retinoids remain one of the most well-researched, effective tools for improving skin texture, softening wrinkles, and boosting collagen production. But many patients experience irritation or dryness when using them incorrectly.
Artisa’s Age Reversal Cream is formulated to deliver the benefits of retinoids without overwhelming the skin. I often recommend starting with 2–3 nights per week and pairing it with the Renewal Repair Cream to buffer and soothe the skin.
Over time, this step helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and gives the skin a smoother, firmer texture.
4. Stay Consistent With Cleansing
The foundation of any routine—especially one targeting aging—is proper cleansing. Residual makeup, sunscreen, and pollution can all accelerate skin aging if not properly removed.
The Radiance Cleanser is designed to cleanse thoroughly while calming the skin with green tea, chamomile, and aloe. It's gentle enough for twice-daily use and ideal for all skin types, including mature or sensitive skin.
5. Focus on Prevention and Patience
Finally, it’s important to remember that non-surgical skincare is a long game. Results build gradually, but they’re cumulative. Patients who commit to a consistent, medical-grade routine often find they can delay (or even avoid) cosmetic procedures altogether.
And for those who do eventually choose surgery, they enter the process with stronger, healthier skin—and heal better as a result.
Final Thoughts
Skincare is not just maintenance—it’s medicine. With the right regimen, tailored to your unique needs, you can absolutely reverse early signs of aging, improve skin tone and texture, and restore a radiant, youthful appearance—all without surgery.
That’s the philosophy behind Artisa Skincare. Every product was designed not only with clinical science in mind, but with your long-term skin health as the priority.
If you're not quite ready for a procedure—or simply want to invest in your skin proactively—I encourage you to start here.
To your healthiest skin,
