From Med Spa to Home: How to Pair Dr. Nassif’s Skincare with Your Aesthetic Treatments

Do you love aesthetic treatments and visit a med spa regularly for microneedling, dermal fillers, or laser skin rejuvenation? If so, you may not be getting the full benefits of aesthetic treatments when your at-home skincare routine doesn’t align. Your skin may require additional care before and after treatments, and to maintain results between sessions.

Why Combining At-Home and In-Office Care Matters

Dr. Nassif is an industry leader combining at-home skincare with in-office surgical and non-surgical aesthetic treatments in his plastic surgery practice and medical spas. His skincare company was born from understanding his patients’ skincare needs before and after various procedures.

He observed that patients with healthier skin and better at-home routines had better results from interventions, and that he could improve outcomes and satisfaction by preparing the skin for procedures and supporting healing and maintenance afterwards. From this perspective, all NassifMD®Skincare formulas are designed to hydrate, nourish, and protect the skin, supporting optimal skin health and recovery.

Aesthetic treatments are powerful and advanced interventions, but they are periodic and don’t happen all the time. You may receive monthly or quarterly treatments, but your skin is exposed to stress from UV radiation, pollution, and aging every day. You need daily support, too.

Daily high-quality, expertly formulated skincare can:

Prepare the skin for med spa treatments
Enhance treatment results
Maintain treatment results over time
Increase the time between med spa treatments

Best Skincare to Use After Aesthetic Treatments + Products That Enhance Treatment Results at Home

The best skincare choices for enhancing treatment results depend on the treatment type. Let’s walk through Dr. Nassif’s recommendations.

Injectables

Injectables, including Botox® and dermal fillers for cheekbones, jawline, undereye, forehead, and other areas, are popular med spa treatments. The in-office goal for fillers is to smooth wrinkles and restore skin volume.

At-Home Skincare Pairing:

NassifMD®Hydro-Screen Hydrating Serum is an advanced hydrating, anti-aging serum with hyaluronic acid filling spheres and retinol to keep skin plump and hydrated, enhancing filler longevity.
NassifMD®Soft Focus Hydrating Day Cream blurs fine lines on the skin’s surface for a polished, makeup-optional finish.

Laser Resurfacing & Microneedling

What is microneedling? Microneedling uses a device (a pen) to inject very fine, sterile needles into the skin, causing micro-injuries. These minor injuries prompt the skin produce more collagen and elastin to heal, leading to microneedling benefits such as improved firmness and elasticity and fewer wrinkles.

Laser skin tightening uses the same principle, except the micro-injuries are caused by the laser skin treatment, called laser resurfacing. As the skin heals, it increases collagen production, breaks up dark and red areas, and promotes resurfacing.

The in-office goals of aesthetic laser treatment and microneedling are to improve skin texture and tone, while stimulating collagen production to firm, plump, and smooth the skin.

At-Home Skincare Pairing:

NassifMD®Skin Barrier Protection Cream features plant antioxidants, niacinamide , and sunflower seed oil to rebuild and protect the skin barrier post-treatment.
NassifMD®Detox Pads ( Regular or Gentle ) offer gentle exfoliation from hydroxy acids . Use them regularly once healed from the treatment to keep pores clear and maintain results.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are med spa resurfacing treatments and one of the best wrinkle treatments in medical aesthetics. A chemical peel involves applying concentrated acids, such as glycolic, salicylic, mandelic, or a combination, to the skin, which causes the skin to peel, revealing new, younger skin below. Chemical peels can penetrate deep, medium, or light.

The in-office goal of chemical peels is to brighten, smooth, and reduce skin discoloratio. Aftercare is especially beneficial.

At-Home Skincare Pairing:

NassifMD®Detox Pads ( Regular or Gentle ) support maintenance between peels by continuing with light exfoliation to prevent buildup.
NassifMD®Radiance Brightening Booster provides powerful antioxidants, namely vitamin C and F complex, to protect against free radicals between treatments and boost glow.

Radiofrequency and Ultrasound Tightening

Radiofrequency and ultrasound tightening treatments, such as Morpheus8, Sofwave, and Ultherapy, are non-surgical skin-firming procedures that use heat or sound waves to stimulate collagen and elastin production in deep skin layers. The in-office goal of these treatments is to firm, lift, and tighten.

At-Home Skincare Pairing:

NassifMD®Pro Peptide Serum helps maintain and improve skin firmness with skincare peptides designed to stimulate collagen production, making it wonderful for aftercare and maintenance.
NassifMD®Hydro-Screen Serum offers powerful hydration support and anti-aging retinol to complement the treatment tightening results.

Facials & HydraFacials

Med spas are known for their menus of facials to support skin health. A typical facial includes cleansing, exfoliation, steam treatment, extractions (to clear pores), massage, and targeted skincare. A HydraFacial uses a medical-grade device to cleanse, exfoliate, and extract. The in-office goals of facials are to cleanse, hydrate, and instantly refresh the skin. They don’t require any downtime afterwards.

At-Home Skincare Pairing:

NassifMD® Glycolic Microdermabrasion Polish is an exfoliating cleanser with glycolic acid and Ecuadorian ivory palm seeds. It keeps skin texture smooth and radiant between facials.
NassifMD®Pure Hydration Night Cream locks in lasting moisture and promotes skin rejuvenation while you sleep, helping to maintain facial results.

How Dr. Nassif’s Formulas Support Skin Recovery

NassifMD®facial plastic surgeon skincare honors the complexity of the skin by working with skin physiology and providing multiple active ingredients in synergistic formulas. There are several ways our formulas support skin recovery when used in conjunction with medical spa treatments.

First, by using NassifMD®Skincare prior to treatments, ensure the skin is healthy and prepared for the treatment to come, and that it has the nutrients and resources it needs to recover.

Second, on the day of treatment, you’ll want to avoid specific ingredients like retinol and hydroxy acids per your med spa’s recommendations, but gentle skincare from Dr. Nassif is supportive.

Then, after your treatment, follow the product guidance above to support healing, repair, and recovery.

Finally, use targeted products between monthly or quarterly med spa treatments to maintain results even longer. Ongoing maintenance requires a simple daily routine, both in the morning and at night. At minimum, incorporate a cleanser, serum, and moisturizer daily, with sunscreen during the day and exfoliation at night.

How to Build a Med Spa-Inspired Routine

When building a med spa-inspired routine, set the foundation with a daily skincare routine for your skin type and goals, and then layer in targeted products as outlined above based on your med spa treatment.

Combining med spa treatments with daily skincare from NassifMD® promotes healthy, radiant, younger-looking skin. Your daily skincare routine supports long-term skin health by fostering hydration, nourishment, exfoliation, and daily skin protection. It also supports recovery from med spa treatments, such as laser therapy for the skin, and maintains results in between. Then you can use med spa treatments for highly targeted, accelerated results.

You don’t need to rely on one or the other; use daily NassifMD®Skincare and less frequent medical spa treatments to renew the skin deeply, boosting long-term skin health and appearance.
