The Founder
Dr. Carl Truesdale
Dr. Carl Truesdale has dedicated his life to elevating human confidence and beauty through the union of medical precision and artistic mastery. A world-renowned facial plastic surgeon and lifelong portrait artist, Dr. Truesdale believes that each face is a masterpiece—worthy of meticulous care both in and out of the operating room.
His journey into medicine was shaped by personal tragedy: the loss of his infant brother. This early experience instilled in him a profound desire to heal and to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Raised by a scientist and an artist, Dr. Truesdale’s path toward facial plastic surgery seemed not only natural—but inevitable.
He began his academic journey at Morehouse College, earning degrees in Biology and Spanish, before attending the prestigious University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, where he discovered his passion for the intricate world of head and neck surgery.
During his surgical training at the top-ranked University of Michigan, he honed his eye for detail and his love for reconstructive art. After completing five years of head and neck surgery, he moved to Beverly Hills to complete a coveted fellowship in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, ultimately founding his thriving private practice—where he has transformed thousands of lives and inspired millions across the globe.
But for Dr. Truesdale, true beauty doesn’t begin or end in the operating room.
The Company
The Birth Of Artisa Skincare
Artisa Skincare was born from Dr. Truesdale’s desire to provide a comprehensive and artistic approach to facial aesthetics—a way to care for the skin with the same level of dedication, elegance, and safety that he applies to surgery.
Dr. Truesdale created Artisa to deliver luxury-grade, science-backed skincare that works for all skin types. Seeing a lack of products designed for skin of color, he made inclusivity the foundation—bringing high-quality, accessible skincare to everyone.
“There is no better way to help people as a physician and translate art than facial plastic surgery. Artisa Skincare is an extension of that art—a gallery of formulas crafted to bring out the best in every face.” – Dr. Truesdale
Grounded in excellence. Fueled by empathy. Designed to reveal your most natural, beautiful self—Artisa Skincare is the art of skin.
The Brand
Artisa Skincare
Artisa Skincare is a powerful yet simple medical-grade skincare line designed to elevate every skin type—regardless of ethnicity, gender, or age. Developed by world-renowned facial plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Truesdale, the brand is rooted in one clear philosophy: your skin should reflect the same youthful vibrance that expert surgery can unveil.
In his Beverly Hills practice, Dr. Truesdale is known for turning back the clock—often making patients look 20 years younger in a single procedure. But surgery alone isn’t enough. Skin tells its own story. He needed a system that could match the transformation seen on the table: a routine that delivers real results with clinical precision.
