The Passion Behind
The Product
Why we are so passionate about carrying only
medical-grade skincare at Werschler Aesthetics
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) closely regulates medical-grade (or pharmaceutical-grade) skincare products. By law, they must contain 99.9 percent of the pure active ingredients that are listed on the label. Before they can be used by the public, there must be scientific evidence showing that the skincare product is beneficial and that it does what is claimed by the manufacturer. That is to say, before a medical-grade skincare product can make it to the market, there are multiple studies completed demonstrating that it actually does what it claims to do.
This is not the case with cosmetic-grade over-the-counter (OTC) skincare products. The cosmetic-grade skincare industry does not have oversight by the FDA, which means a thorough product or ingredient testing is not required and claims of what the skincare product does has no scientific backing.
This is also why medical-grade skincare can only be prescribed by a medical professional. Skincare that is purchased from a department store, chain retailer, or drugstore, is cosmetic-grade and can be sold by anyone. Cosmetic-grade skincare is designed to sit on the surface of the skin so it can be used generically by many people. Medical-grade skincare is been designed to penetrate the epidermis (upper layer of skin) and affect deeper layers of the skin. This is why it is important to purchase skincare from a dermatologist’s office and to get staff recommendations that are tailored to specific needs.
Medical-grade skincare is not always more expensive. Generally speaking, these companies do not spend their money on advertising campaigns, but instead choose to spend that money on research, and quality product development so the investment is often similar in cost.
We go even further than this at Werschler Aesthetics. The skincare lines we carry have been chosen by us because they contain high levels of active pharmaceutical-grade ingredients and we prefer lines that minimize preservative use, which makes the skincare we carry even more remarkable.

Restorsea Pro
Restorsea Pro is a unique and revolutionary skincare line that utilizes an enzyme found in organic salmon roe that exfoliates and reduces inflammation in skin (and chronic inflammation is incredibly aging to the body and skin). This allows the Restorsea Pro product line to provide the benefits of retinol while slowing the aging process with the anti-inflammatory properties of the enzyme in skin. We love all of the products in the Restorsea Pro line at W Aesthetics.
Restorsea Pro is only found in select aesthetic medical practices across the country as the CEO and Founder of the Restorsea Pro skincare line, Patti Pao, personally selects the offices that can carry her products. Thankfully for W Aesthetics, we meet Patti’s rigorous standards to offer her line to our clients.

SkinMedica
SkinMedica was founded more than a decade ago by a dermatologist who revolutionized the cosmeceutical market by creating TNS Recovery Complex System, the first skincare product ever offered that contains Tissue Nutrient Solution (TNS). TNS is a patented cocktail of naturally occurring proteins, amino acids, and antioxidants your body uses to help your skin recover from sun damage and the effects of aging. Beyond TNS, SkinMedica offers a complete line of extremely high-quality skin care products that utilize proven skin rejuvenators, such as vitamins E and C, retinol, tea tree oil, and salicylic acid.
SkinMedica was the first skincare treatment scientifically proven by a tissue biopsy that grew collagen and actually changed skin. SkinMedica set the stage for the development of cosmeceutical skincare and we are proud to carry a full line of their products both online and in our spa.

Alastin Skincare
Alastin Skincare is a physician-dispensed medical-grade skincare line, developed with advanced and scientifically proven clinically tested products. Founded in 2015, Alastin Skincare provides a comprehensive collection of products for optimal procedure results and daily skincare regimens. They are strategically focused with research and development on innovative products with the greatest potential impact for patients and aesthetic providers. Alastin Skincare formulates all of their products with TriHex Technology, a proprietary blend of active peptides and botanicals. TriHex is specifically engineered to work with the skin to clear out old collagen and elastin proteins that have been damaged by sun exposure and aging while supporting the skin's natural ability to produce new collagen and elastin.
W Aesthetics had the opportunity to test the TransFORM Body Treatment while it was still in development and found it so incredible, we couldn’t wait to carry Alastin Skincare for our patients.
