Most luxury skincare is vanity packaging. Fragrant creams that sit on the surface without ever communicating with your cells. Skincare is a biological extension of clinical treatments. If you are investing in a Morpheus8 or a DiamondGlow, your at-home routine is what protects that investment.
In a tropical climate like Puerto Rico, humidity is a double-edged sword. It keeps the skin from drying out, but it also traps sweat, pollutants, and sebum, leading to tropical congestion. This congestion leads to a range of skin problems, including shortening the lifespan of your clinical skin treatments.
Essential medical-grade ingredients include bioactive compounds such as TriHex peptides, stabilized L-ascorbic acid, and defensins, formulated at higher concentrations to penetrate the basement membrane. Unlike cosmetic-grade products, these formulas are clinically proven to trigger cellular repair and pigment regulation rather than just providing temporary surface hydration.

| High-Humidity Hydration | Alastin HA Immerse | Deep hydration without the heavy cream feel. |
| Sweat-Resistant Shield | Colorescience Flex SPF 50 | Adapts to your tone and won't melt in the humidity. |
| Post-Procedure Recovery | Alastin Skin Nectar | Clears damaged proteins to maximize laser results. |
In San Juan, heavy occlusive creams often lead to breakouts. Instead, we prescribe Alastin HA Immerse Serum. It’s a water-light formulation that helps your skin produce its own high-quality hyaluronic acid. It gives you the glow without the grease.
Standard SPF 30 isn't enough for the 10+ UV index we see in Puerto Rico. We exclusively stock Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection. The Flex formula contains encapsulated iron oxides that adapt to your skin tone, providing a blurred, makeup-optional finish that actually blocks the HEV (blue light) and infrared heat known to trigger melasma.
If you are over 35, your skin’s recycling process slows down. This serum uses TriHex Technology to clear out old, clumped collagen and elastin fibers. Think of it as spring cleaning for your dermis, making room for the new collagen we stimulate during your in-office microneedling sessions.

My Clinical Opinion: I often see patients spend thousands on procedures, but wash them away with low-quality drugstore cleansers. We curated NUMED Shop to ensure our patients have access to the exact same concentrations we use in the treatment room.
When you purchase from us, you aren't just buying a bottle; you are buying a clinical protocol designed by American Board-Certified Physicians who understand the unique biological demands of Caribbean skin.
