The holidays are right around the corner, and if you’re like most of us in Brentwood, you want to look refreshed and radiant for family gatherings, office parties, and all those photos that end up on the fridge for the next year. The good news? You don’t need a full overhaul to get there. A solid medical-grade skincare routine can make a noticeable difference—often in just a few weeks.
Dr. Ashley Guthrie, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, has built her practice around helping patients look like the best version of themselves, and
medical-grade skincare is one of her go-to tools. Let’s walk through why it works, how to use it, and why now is the perfect time to start.
What Sets Medical-Grade Skincare Apart?
You’ve probably tried a few drugstore creams or even splurged on a high-end moisturizer. They feel nice, smell great, and might give a temporary softness. But medical-grade products are different. They’re formulated with higher levels of active ingredients that actually reach the deeper layers of your skin—where real change happens.
Think of it this way: over-the-counter products are like watering the surface of your lawn. Medical-grade skincare is more like feeding the roots. The results aren’t just surface-level; they’re backed by clinical studies and show up in smoother texture, reduced fine lines, and a more even tone.
Why November Is the Sweet Spot
Cooler weather, less intense sun, and a built-in timeline before the big holiday events—this month is ideal for starting a new routine. Many of the key ingredients in medical-grade products (like retinoids and peptides) work best when you’re not battling daily UV exposure. Plus, giving your skin four to six weeks means you’ll see meaningful improvement right when you want to look your best.
Dr. Guthrie often tells patients: “Start before Thanksgiving, and you’ll be glowing by Christmas.”
The Star of the Show: Alastin Skincare
Dr. Guthrie chooses Alastin for a reason. Its patented TriHex Technology® does two important things: it helps clear out old, damaged collagen and elastin, and it encourages your skin to produce new, healthy proteins. The result? Firmer, more resilient skin that looks naturally refreshed.
A few patient favorites:
Restorative Skin Complex – A daily moisturizer that hydrates, firms, and calms redness.
Regenerating Skin Nectar – Perfect before or after in-office treatments to speed healing.
HydraTint Pro Mineral SPF – A tinted sunscreen that doubles as light coverage.
Gentle Cleanser – Removes makeup and debris without stripping your skin.
You can order Alastin products online anytime, or stop by the office for a quick skin assessment and samples.

Dr. Guthrie adjusts every plan based on your skin type, concerns, and lifestyle. Sensitive skin? She’ll swap in soothing ingredients. Breakouts? She’ll add targeted acne fighters.
