The best skin care starts with understanding who you are, how your skin behaves and what it’s been through. At Resurrect Skin MD, we believe your regimen should be as personal as your life’s story.
Led by Dr. A. Jay Burns, a nationally recognized laser and aesthetic medicine expert, our approach goes beyond surface-level fixes. We’re here to help you understand your skin’s needs, challenges and potential, and to guide you toward a regimen that reflects that individuality.
Your Skin Is a Living, Breathing Organ
Your skin isn’t static, and neither should your skincare be. Seasons change. Hormones shift. Stress levels rise. Maybe you’re recovering from a procedure, prepping for a milestone event or just noticing your skin doesn’t “bounce back” as it used to. The product that worked for you last winter may be wrong for your skin this spring.
At RSMD, we treat your skin like the dynamic organ it is. That means identifying exactly what your skin is asking for and crafting a plan that evolves with you, so you’re never stuck in a routine that’s no longer serving you.
Dr. Burns’ Optimal Skincare Regimen is rooted in this philosophy. We don’t rely on trendy products or complicated 10-step routines. We focus on what actually works to support your skin’s health, function and appearance at every stage of your life.
What Makes Personalized Skin Care So Effective?
At Resurrect Skin MD, personalization isn’t a buzzword. It’s a philosophy grounded in science. Customizing your regimen means:
- Targeting your specific skin concerns, whether it’s acne, aging, hyperpigmentation, dryness or inflammation.
- Choosing ingredients that align with your skin type and avoiding ones that could trigger irritation.
- Adjusting your regimen as your skin changes, rather than staying locked into a static routine.
- Combining the right active ingredients in the right order so they are more effective and don’t have negative interactions.
This tailored approach turns skin care from a frustrating guessing game into a journey of visible improvement and deeper understanding of your skin.
What Personalized Skin Care Looks Like in Real Life
No two skin journeys are the same, and that’s exactly why personalization matters. It might mean shifting from harsh exfoliants to barrier-repairing serums for one patient. For another, it might mean prepping for a fractional laser treatment with collagen-building skincare and transitioning to pigment-correcting products afterward. Whether you’re new to skincare or managing post-procedure healing, your regimen should meet you exactly where you are.
The Role of Expert Guidance
Dr. Burns often sees patients who’ve spent hundreds—sometimes thousands—on trendy products that don’t work for them. That’s because marketing, social media influencers and viral product lists can’t replace medical expertise.
As one of the nation’s most accomplished laser experts and an early advocate for skin-focused wellness, Dr. Burns combines decades of experience with a passion for education. His Skin to Life™ philosophy is built on teaching patients how to truly care for their skin through a balanced combination of advanced treatments, proper home care and lifestyle considerations.
A personalized consultation at Resurrect Skin MD includes in-depth skin analysis, health history and product compatibility checks to ensure your plan works harmoniously with your body’s natural processes.
A Science-Based Skincare Regimen, Built Just for You
Dr. Burns’ Optimal Skincare Regimen is the cornerstone of effective, personalized care. While every regimen is tailored to the individual, this philosophy is built on four essential product categories that support healthy, resilient skin at any age:
Sunscreen: Protect First, Always
Sun exposure is the leading cause of premature skin aging and damage, regardless of your skin tone. Dr. Burns emphasizes daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to prevent UV-induced breakdown of collagen and elastin. Whether you prefer creams, sprays, powders or makeup with SPF, the key is choosing a formula you’ll use daily.
Collagen and Elastin Support
Procedures like laser treatments and surgery are only part of the picture. Healthy skin quality is what makes those results shine. Alastin’s Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology® is a cornerstone product that clears damaged elastin and collagen while jumpstarting fresh production. It also reduces recovery time and supports smoother, more radiant results pre- and post-treatment.
Antioxidants: Daily Defense and Brightening
Antioxidants like vitamin C, niacinamide and CoQ10 protect your skin from environmental stressors while promoting brightness and tone. Dr. Burns recommends evidence-backed formulas like Revision’s C+ Correcting Complex and Alastin’s A-Luminate Brightening Serum to reduce pigmentation, prevent oxidative stress and boost long-term skin vitality.
Retinol Alternatives for Long-Term Results
Retinoids are among the most effective tools in skincare, but traditional Retin-A can be too harsh for some. RSMD recommends well-tolerated alternatives like Revision’s Retinol Complete 1.0 or Alastin’s Renewal Retinol 0.5. These products increase cell turnover, improve skin texture and reduce signs of aging with less irritation.
Your Skin Deserves More Than a Guess
At Resurrect Skin MD, your skincare journey begins with a conversation, not a prescription.
Your consultation is designed to feel like a collaboration. We discuss your current routine, what’s working (and what’s not), and explore the skin goals that matter most to you. We analyze your tone, texture, elasticity, hydration and sensitivities—and look at the full picture, including lifestyle, stress and hormone shifts.
From there, we build a plan that feels realistic and effective. You may need just a few strategic swaps. Maybe you’re starting fresh. Either way, you won’t leave with a generic product list—you’ll leave with a personalized path forward that helps your skin thrive now and into the future.
