At Hakimi Plastic Surgery, we believe that exceptional skin doesn’t happen by accident. While our surgical and nonsurgical procedures can work wonders, the daily care you provide your skin plays an equally important role in maintaining your results and overall skin health. That’s why Dr. Hakimi specifically recommends Skinbetter products to his Beverly Hills patients.
What Makes Skinbetter Different?
You’ve likely tried countless skincare products that promised the world but delivered disappointment. So what makes Skinbetter worth your attention? The answer lies in its pharmaceutical approach to skincare.
Skinbetter was developed by a team of biochemists and physicians who understood that effective skincare requires more than just trendy ingredients — it demands scientific innovation. Each formula undergoes rigorous testing and contains precisely measured active ingredients that work together to improve the health and appearance of your skin.
“I only recommend products I truly believe in,” Dr. Hakimi explains. “What impressed me about Skinbetter is that they don’t just throw popular ingredients together — they spend years researching how the ingredients interact and developing delivery systems to ensure those ingredients reach the right skin layers.”

Discover the SkinBetter Difference
When patients see the price difference between drugstore brands and medical-grade options like Skinbetter, they often wonder if the results justify the cost. Dr. Hakimi is quick to emphasize that it isn’t just about paying more, it’s about getting measurable value for every dollar spent.
Skinbetter is an award-winning product line that never compromises on quality. Using medical-grade products is an investment in your skin, thanks to their ability to enhance and maintain professional treatments while delivering improvements impossible with retail products. Here’s what sets Skinbetter apart from similar brands and products.
Scientifically Proven Ingredients
Skinbetter products are formulated by biochemists and physicians who understand skin at a molecular level. Each product undergoes extensive laboratory testing before performing clinical trials on real patients. Some of their proprietary formulas and advancements include the NOw Complex, which increases the body’s natural nitric oxide (NO) production to visibly improve aging skin, and b.r.y.t. (brown, red, yellow tone) Technology, which delivers a dramatic reduction in hyperpigmentation without hydroquinone, making it safe for all skin types.
Award-Winning Formulations
The results speak for themselves. Skinbetter has received numerous accolades from dermatologists and beauty experts alike. Their revolutionary AlphaRet Overnight Cream, which combines a retinoid and an alpha hydroxy acid to refresh the skin with minimal irritation, has been awarded “Top Medical-Grade Product” by NewBeauty for three years running.
Enhanced Delivery Systems
Even the best skincare ingredients are useless if they don’t absorb well. Skinbetter products feature an advanced InterFuse delivery system to enhance the performance of ingredients that resist topical application, ensuring they penetrate deeper for more targeted, noticeable results.
The Power of Antioxidants & Peptides
Antioxidants provide defense and protection against free radicals, while peptides are the building blocks of essential proteins like collagen and elastin. Important ingredients that support the overall health and appearance of your skin, antioxidants and peptides are included in several Skinbetter products, from the popular AlphaRet Overnight Cream to the award-winning Alto Defense Serum. Combined with an enhanced delivery system, Skinbetter maximizes the impact of these beneficial ingredients.
Crafting Your Skinbetter Regimen
An effective skincare routine is about quality over quantity. You don’t need a bathroom cabinet full of products — just the right ingredients for your needs and skin type. Dr. Hakimi helps patients build personalized Skinbetter regimens based on these three essential steps:
1. Choose An Antioxidant
Antioxidants are your skin’s first line of defense against environmental damage. Skinbetter’s antioxidant formulations utilize a powerful combination of 17 different antioxidants, along with vitamins C and E, to protect and nourish your skin. Our favorite antioxidants include:
2. Choose a Retinoid
Nothing transforms skin like a retinoid. These vitamin A derivatives accelerate cell turnover, boost collagen production, and improve everything from fine lines to acne. Skinbetter’s AlphaRet line combines a retinoid with an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) to enhance and renew your skin with minimal irritation. Our favorite AlphaRet products include:
3. Choose a Sunscreen
The most effective anti-aging product you can use is sunscreen. Look for broad-spectrum protection with an SPF of 30 or higher and apply daily to keep your skin free from sun damage, age spots and other signs of photoaging. Our favorite sunscreens include:
How Does Skinbetter Fit Into My Current Regimen?
Transitioning to new skincare products should be done gradually to avoid a reaction. We recommend beginning with just one product — typically an antioxidant serum like Alto Defense — and using it for one to two weeks before introducing anything else. Apply Skinbetter products from thinnest to thickest consistency: serums first, followed by lightweight lotions, and finishing with richer creams. Always wait 30-60 seconds between layers for proper absorption.
If you’re using prescription skincare like tretinoin, Skinbetter can complement these treatments perfectly. For retinoid users, start with AlphaRet just twice weekly, alternating nights with your prescription. Morning routines should always include an antioxidant for protection, while evenings can focus on renewal. Remember that quality trumps quantity — Skinbetter‘s superior formulations mean you’ll need fewer products to achieve remarkable results.
Enhance the Results of Surgical or Nonsurgical Procedures With Medical-Grade Skincare
At Hakimi Plastic Surgery, we believe exceptional results come from a comprehensive approach to beauty. This is why Dr. Hakimi strategically incorporates Skinbetter products into pre- and post-procedure protocols for patients undergoing both surgical and nonsurgical treatments.
After any procedure, your skin needs gentle yet effective care. Skinbetter helps to:
- Speed up the healing process
- Enhance and maintain your results
- Minimize the appearance of incision lines or scarring
- Provide ongoing protection to preserve your investment
Dr. Hakimi will recommend the right combination of products to protect and enhance your skin after surgery, laser treatments or injectables. This might include a broad-spectrum SPF, intensive moisturizing creams or serums, and a non-irritating cleansing gel for sensitive skin.
