Medical-Grade Skincare in Carmel & Indianapolis
Physician-dispensed retinoids, growth factors, antioxidants, and corrective serums to complement your in-office treatments and maintain results at home.
What Is Medical-Grade Skincare?
Medical-grade skincare products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients than over-the-counter alternatives and are formulated to penetrate deeper into the skin where they can produce meaningful clinical change. They are available only through licensed medical providers — not in drugstores or general retail — and are recommended based on a clinical assessment of your skin type, concerns, and treatment history.
At My Plastic Surgery Group, our physicians recommend and dispense physician-grade skincare lines to support your skin health between office visits. The right daily regimen extends and maintains the results of your in-office treatments — whether that is Botox, fillers, laser resurfacing, or surgery — and builds cumulative improvement in skin quality over time.
We carry physician-dispensed skincare including retinoids, growth factors, antioxidant vitamin C serums, corrective pigmentation treatments, peptide-based anti-aging formulations, and clinical-grade SPF. Our providers will assess your skin and recommend the products that address your specific concerns and skin type.
Medical-Grade Skincare Categories
Retinoids
Retinoids (vitamin A derivatives) are the most clinically validated anti-aging ingredient available. Tretinoin (prescription retinoic acid) accelerates cell turnover, stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines, improves pigmentation, and treats acne. Over-the-counter retinol requires conversion in the skin before it becomes active — tretinoin is active immediately, producing faster and more significant results. Our physicians can prescribe tretinoin at the appropriate strength for your skin.
Growth Factors
Growth factor serums contain proteins that signal skin cells to produce collagen and elastin, accelerating repair and maintaining skin structure. Particularly valuable post-procedure to support healing and after any laser or microneedling treatment.
Antioxidants (Vitamin C)
Pharmaceutical-grade vitamin C serums (L-ascorbic acid at clinical concentrations) protect against free radical damage from UV and environmental pollutants, brighten skin tone, and stimulate collagen synthesis. Medical-grade formulations use stable, high-concentration vitamin C in delivery systems that allow effective penetration — unlike most drugstore vitamin C products.
Corrective Pigmentation Treatments
Hydroquinone (prescription), kojic acid, tranexamic acid, and azelaic acid combinations address melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and sun-induced discoloration. Used before laser treatments to reduce pigmentation risk and after to maintain results.
Clinical-Grade SPF
Broad-spectrum SPF 30-50 formulated for daily use without the heaviness or greasiness common in commercial sunscreens. Sun protection is the single most important daily skincare investment — our physician-dispensed SPF formulations are light, cosmetically elegant, and effective.
How Skincare Products Complement In-Office Treatments
In-office treatments deliver results that home products cannot replicate — but products extend and deepen those results significantly. A well-designed home regimen:
- Prepares skin for procedures (pre-tretinoin before laser reduces complication risk)
- Supports post-procedure healing (growth factors and soothing formulations after Morpheus8 or laser)
- Maintains results between injection appointments (collagen-supporting actives)
- Builds cumulative skin health improvement that makes each procedure more effective
- Prevents new damage from accumulating (daily SPF is non-negotiable)
Patients who follow a physician-designed home regimen consistently get better, longer-lasting outcomes from every in-office treatment they receive. It is the highest-leverage daily investment in your skin.
A Regimen Built Around Your Skin
A skincare consultation at MPSG typically takes 15–30 minutes. Your provider will assess your skin type, current routine, concerns, and treatment history, then recommend a simplified, targeted regimen. We prefer practical protocols — not overwhelming 12-step routines — focused on the actives that deliver real results: a retinoid, an antioxidant, and SPF as the core, with corrective additions as needed. Products can be dispensed at your appointment or during any procedure visit, and we review your home regimen annually as your skin changes.
