The Story of SkinMedica®
Our founders began a revolution in skin health that continues to fuel the scientific research, innovation, and transformative results for which SkinMedica® is known.
“The most rewarding part of what we do is watching the changes in a
patient’s self-esteem and happiness”
– Dr. Fitzpatrick, Dermatologist & Co-Founder of SkinMedica®
The Patients and Physicians We Serve are at the Center of Everything We Do
Inspired by their patients seeking healthier looking skin, SkinMedica® was founded by pioneers in the science of skin rejuvenation. Our co-founder, the renowned dermatologist Dr. Richard Fitzpatrick, had a vision to develop a better way to slow the aging process and unlock the potential of the skin to heal from within; and in 1999, the groundbreaking scientifically based skin care line called SkinMedica® was born.
Looking Forward
