Home Use Products at TLJ Aesthetics MD
What you use on your skin at home is an important part of your journey to better skin, whether treating skin conditions, the signs of aging or as a preventative course of action.
Home use products contain both cosmetic ingredients (those that improve the appearance of the skin) and active ingredients (those that alter the function of the skin, which can be administered through prescription or over-the-counter-level drug potency). These categories of skincare ingredients are defined by the FDA.

- Nobel Prize-winning technology enhances penetration of moisturizing hyaluronic acid and minerals into the dermis where it is needed (not just sit on the surface of the skin)
- Increase elastin and collagen synthesis
- Decrease inflammation
- Reduce bacteria
- Accelerate wound healing
Not all ingredients are created equal; TLJ selects products that are uniquely formulated to help avoid irritation while delivering on effectiveness.
