More people today are looking for clean, effective ways to care for their skin, and many are turning to botanical skin care supported by science. Whether you're targeting acne, fine lines, or overall dullness, finding the right treatment can feel overwhelming. Should you go for a facial, a chemical peel, or invest in a high-quality serum?
At East Cooper Plastic Surgery, we specialize in personalized facial rejuvenation treatments and skin care treatments that support healthy, radiant skin at every stage. Located in Charleston and Mount Pleasant, SC, our experienced team will help you choose the safest, most effective option for your unique skin.
In this guide, we’ll explore how each treatment works, what skin concerns they address, and how combining them with the iS Clinical botanical line can support your long-term skin health.
Facials: Gentle, Hydrating, and Perfect for Maintenance
A professional facial treatment is one of the best entry points into skincare, especially for those new to clinical-grade services. At East Cooper Plastic Surgery, our facials are more than just relaxing; they are designed with your skin’s health in mind.
Facials at East Cooper Plastic Surgery start at just $75, making them an affordable way to refresh and maintain your skin.
We use iS Clinical botanical skincare, which blends pharmaceutical-grade plant-based ingredients with clinical research. That means your facial is not only gentle and hydrating, but also designed to support long-term skin improvement.
Facials are especially helpful for:
- Mild dryness or sensitivity
- Occasional breakouts
- Dull or uneven tone
- Prepping the skin for events or treatments
With no downtime and customizable formulas, facials are ideal for regular skin maintenance or as a first step in your aesthetic care plan.

Chemical Peels: Powerful Exfoliation for Visible Results
If you’re dealing with more noticeable concerns like hyperpigmentation, acne scars, or signs of aging, a chemical peel may be your best next step. A peel works by applying a safe chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates dead or damaged layers and encourages fresh, smoother skin to surface.
At East Cooper Plastic Surgery, we offer a range of chemical peels, from light to medium depth, all designed to treat the skin without excessive irritation. We tailor every peel to your skin type and goals, and pair them with iS Clinical’s botanical-based post-treatment care, which helps calm the skin and accelerate healing.
After a peel, Sheald Recovery Balm is a go-to. This soothing balm locks in hydration, protects healing skin, and minimizes post-treatment discomfort.
Chemical peels are best suited for:
- Uneven skin tone or melasma
- Acne and acne scarring
- Fine lines and sun damage
- Enlarged pores and texture
Wondering about “chemical peel near me”? Our Mount Pleasant office provides a calm, professional setting for your treatment, with expert care before, during, and after your peel.
At-Home Serums and Daily Care: Science-Powered Skincare
Between in-office treatments, your skin needs consistent care at home. That’s where serums and cleansers come in, particularly those with active, plant-based ingredients formulated for skin health, like those found in iS Clinical.
Unlike over-the-counter products, iS Clinical uses pharmaceutical-grade botanical ingredients that are backed by clinical studies. Each formula is developed to deliver specific results without harsh chemicals or unnecessary fillers.
Some of the most popular iS Clinical products include:
- Cleansing Complex: Deep-cleans without drying out the skin
- Pro-Heal Serum Advance+: Combats inflammation, acne, and pigmentation with vitamin C and botanical extracts
- Hydra-Cool Serum: Provides immediate hydration and soothes irritation
- Eclipse SPF 50+: Offers sun protection with antioxidant-rich hydration
Another patient favorite is Brightening Complex, which targets uneven tone, dullness, and dark spots with botanical brightening agents.
These products are ideal for patients looking to address:
- Aging or fine lines
- Sensitive or compromised skin
- Dryness and dehydration
- Breakouts and inflammation
Our team will help you build a personalized at-home routine to complement your in-office treatments and protect your results long-term.
Why We Trust iS Clinical for Every Skin Journey
Not all skincare is created equal. iS Clinical stands out for its unique combination of botanical purity and clinical strength. Developed by Innovation Skincare, every iS Clinical product is:
- Formulated with pharmaceutical-grade ingredients
- Clinically tested for safety and efficacy
- Free from parabens and fillers
- Non-comedogenic and safe for all skin types
- Recommended for post-procedure and cancer-recovery patients
At East Cooper Plastic Surgery, we rely on iS Clinical for its consistency, clean formulations, and proven results. Whether you’re recovering from a surgical procedure or simply building your first skincare routine, it’s a brand we trust for all skin journeys.
We often recommend Reparative Moisture Emulsion, a multitasking hydrator with restorative botanicals that help strengthen and protect sensitive or post-procedure skin
Combining Treatments for Better Results
One treatment doesn’t always fit all. That’s why many of our patients see even better results when combining in-office procedures with at-home care.
For example:
- A light chemical peel followed by a Hydra-Cool Serum can improve texture while reducing inflammation
- A facial with antioxidant-rich serums preps your skin before a big event
- Daily SPF and gentle cleansers support healing after a peel or microneedling session
Our team will guide you through building a complete care plan that supports your goals, timing, and skin sensitivity.
For patients layering treatments, Super Serum Advance+ is a powerhouse, boosting collagen and reducing signs of aging while complementing in-office care
Personalized Skincare Plans, Backed by Experts
Every person’s skin is different. That’s why we never take a one-size-fits-all approach. At your consultation, we’ll assess your skin type, concerns, lifestyle, and treatment history to design a tailored plan that works for you.
We often recommend a four-step foundation using iS Clinical’s botanical products:
- Cleanse – Removes impurities without disrupting your skin barrier
- Treat – Targets specific concerns like pigmentation or breakouts
- Hydrate – Restores balance and boosts moisture retention
- Protect – Shields skin with SPF and antioxidant support
To complete the cycle, Extreme Protect SPF 30 offers antioxidant-rich sun protection while nourishing the skin barrier
This approach works especially well for patients recovering from surgery, starting a new treatment like microneedling, or those with sensitive skin due to cancer care.
