Healthy Skin Starts Here

Introduction to Skincare

The skin is constantly exposed to factors that can affect its health and appearance, including sun exposure, pollution, stress, hormones, dehydration, and natural collagen loss. While cosmetic treatments can address specific concerns, the foundation of long-term skin health often begins with a consistent, professionally guided skincare routine tailored to an individual’s skin type and goals.

Medical-grade skincare products are formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients to support healthier skin function, improve tone and texture, protect against environmental damage, and maintain long-term skin quality. At Ackerman Aesthetics in Newport Beach, Dr. Ackerman and his experienced team help patients throughout Orange County develop customized skincare regimens that support healthy, radiant, natural-looking skin at every stage of life.

What is Skincare?

Skincare refers to the daily use of professionally selected products and treatment strategies that maintain skin health, improve complexion quality, and address concerns such as aging, acne, pigmentation, dehydration, and sensitivity. A personalized skincare routine may include cleansers, exfoliants, moisturizers, sunscreens, serums, retinoids, and antioxidants tailored to the patient’s skin condition and goals.

At Ackerman Aesthetics, skincare recommendations often include trusted medical-grade brands such as AlumierMD, Elta MD, SkinMedica, and Dr. Ackerman’s custom skincare line. These products work together to improve skin texture, hydration, tone, clarity, and long-term skin resilience while supporting healthier skin function overall.

Unlike over-the-counter skincare products that may contain lower concentrations of active ingredients, medical-grade skincare is often formulated to penetrate more effectively and create more noticeable, long-term improvement when used consistently.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Skincare?

Skincare is beneficial for virtually all patients because every skin type can benefit from healthier maintenance, hydration, and protection. Treatment plans and product recommendations are fully customized according to the patient’s age, skin condition, sensitivity level, and long-term complexion goals. Often, we see:

  • Patients experiencing dryness, dullness, uneven texture, acne, or discoloration
  • Individuals looking to maintain healthier, more youthful-looking skin long-term
  • Men and women interested in preventative skincare and collagen support
  • Patients seeking to improve or maintain the results of aesthetic procedures and treatments
  • Healthy individuals willing to follow a consistent skincare routine tailored to their needs

What Are the Benefits of Skincare?

A professionally guided skincare routine can do far more than simply improve the skin’s appearance temporarily. Consistent skincare helps support healthier skin function, protect against environmental damage, and maintain smoother, more radiant skin as patients age. It:

  • Improves skin texture, hydration, and overall complexion clarity
  • Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, discoloration, acne, and uneven tone
  • Supports healthier skin barrier function and long-term skin resilience
  • Protects the skin from environmental damage and premature aging with proper sun protection
  • Enhances and maintains the results of professional aesthetic treatments over time

How to Begin Your Skincare Journey

Dr. Ackerman or another member of our experienced team will evaluate your skin type, concerns, lifestyle, and long-term complexion goals to create a skincare regimen specifically for you. At our office in Newport Beach:

  • Your provider will assess concerns such as dehydration, acne, pigmentation, sensitivity, fine lines, or texture irregularities to determine which products and ingredients are most appropriate for your skin.
  • Patients will discuss their current skincare routine, previous treatments, lifestyle habits, and aesthetic goals so recommendations can be tailored accordingly.
  • A personalized skincare regimen may include cleansers, serums, moisturizers, retinoids, exfoliants, and sunscreen products selected according to your skin condition and sensitivity level.
  • Your provider will explain how different active ingredients work, how products should be layered, and what timeline to expect for visible improvement.
  • Recommendations for complementary treatments, such as chemical peels, microneedling, or laser resurfacing, may also be discussed to enhance long-term skin rejuvenation results.

What to Expect From Skincare

Professional skincare improves the skin gradually and consistently over time rather than creating dramatic overnight change. Depending on the products selected and the concerns being addressed, patients may notice improvements in hydration, brightness, texture, clarity, and smoothness within the first several weeks of consistent use.

Some active ingredients, such as retinoids or exfoliating acids, may initially cause mild dryness, flaking, or temporary sensitivity as the skin adjusts. However, with proper guidance and product selection, the skin often becomes healthier, stronger, and more balanced over time.

Consistency is one of the most important factors in achieving and maintaining long-term skincare results. Patients who follow their personalized skincare routine consistently often experience healthier skin quality, improved tone and texture, and better long-term support for collagen maintenance and the prevention of skin aging.

Combining My Skincare with Other Procedures

Professional skincare is often one of the most important components of maintaining and enhancing the results of aesthetic treatments. Since healthy skin responds more effectively to professional procedures, skincare is frequently combined with other rejuvenation treatments to create more comprehensive complexion improvement.

Chemical peels may be combined with medical-grade skincare to improve discoloration, texture irregularities, acne concerns, and overall skin brightness. Consistent skincare can also help maintain peel results and support healthier skin turnover between treatments.

How Much Does Skincare Cost in Newport Beach?

The cost of skincare in Newport Beach varies depending on the products selected, the complexity of the patient’s skincare routine, and whether professional treatments are incorporated into the overall skin rejuvenation plan. Some patients require only a few foundational products for maintenance and prevention, while others benefit from more intricate regimens targeting concerns such as acne, pigmentation, aging, or skin sensitivity. Our experienced team will recommend products specifically tailored to your skin condition, goals, and lifestyle.

Patient Reviews

    Life changing facelift!

    Dr. Ackerman did a deep plane facelift, a lip lift, and a brow lift on me. I was about to turn 60 and I figured it would be now or never. I have struggled with a thin face and started having substantial sagging and Fillers were beginning to make me look unnatural and pillowy. I am thrilled to be able to say that I couldn’t be happier.

    Amazing Experience

    Immediately after seeing 3 other plastic surgeons for consultation, my parents and I knew Dr. Ackerman was the surgeon for us. He has an amazing and trustworthy staff, who we felt very welcomed by. When we met with him so he could give me a consultation for my nose, he was very honest about some of the setbacks that may come with my particular surgery.

    Excellent results and experience!

    I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. Boris Ackerman and his team! I came to him for a facelift, eyebrow lift, and a revision rhinoplasty, and from start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. Dr. Ackerman is not only incredibly skilled and precise, but he also has an artistic eye that made all the difference in my results.

    Like refreshed versions of themselves

    Dr. Ackerman is an exceptional surgeon. I had reviewed his before-and-after photos beforehand, and it was clear that his patients looked like refreshed versions of themselves—not like entirely different people. That was exactly the outcome I wanted, and it’s exactly what I received.

    That decision exceeded every expectation.

    “I absolutely love Dr Boris Ackerman. I cannot recommend my plastic surgeon highly enough. He performed my original facelift when I was 45, and 20 years later, I trusted him again for an updated procedure—and that decision exceeded every expectation.” Mary R
