A surgeon’s answer to real rejuvenation.
Early in her plastic surgery training, Dr. Hillelson discovered the benefits of using quality natural ingredients in skin care. A former research chemist associate at Harvard and Johns Hopkins, she realized her dream of producing a breakthrough technology for real skin rejuvenation — Iridesse® Skin Crèmes.
She spent more than five years researching and testing Iridesse® on skin elasticity, thickness, luster and resilience, and has since dedicated herself to perfecting the line.
“My patients tell me that my skin-care products, Iridesse for night, day and eye, have significantly improved their skin’s radiance, fine lines and laxity.”
