Plastic Surgeon, Dr. James Beckman, CEO and founder of Therapon Skin Health, didn’t envision starting a skin care company over two decades ago. He set out to develop products not available at the time to improve the overall skin health and appearance of his own patients. The plan was for only a few products regularly used on a daily basis that ensured youthful skin results. By establishing the practice that Theraderm products must be developed based on proven need, he developed a high standard for the company. Therapon core values include a mandate that every product must be as effective as, or better than, any product available from any other source. They must also be made of the safest ingredients for human use, be least irritating or sensitizing as possible and must be able to be used with any other product or skin care regimen. “We listen to our physician partners, we listen to the estheticians who are actually providing skin care and we listen to customers,” Dr. Beckman said. “When we recognize a need for a product for a skin condition that’s out there, we study the science and cellular biology to engineer a solution for that problem.” Focused on providing clinical-grade products that produce visible results for a variety of skin care concerns, Therapon Skin Health works to make sure every user of their products knows what it feels like to be comfortable in their skin. “Every person should have the opportunity to look as refreshed, young and healthy as absolutely possible,” Dr. Beckman said. “Anything I can do to make that happen has been a lifelong passion.”
