The Therapon Story

Passionate about the overall health of his patients, Dr. Beckman looked for ways to improve their quality of life. While treating burn patients during residency, he dedicated himself to finding solutions for restoring function and mobility to skin-grafted areas. This passion eventually led to the development of a lanolin-based restorative cream which would benefit patients with skin grafts and dry skin. As a practicing plastic surgeon with a degree in biochemistry, Dr. Beckman continued developing skincare products based on this original formulation. 

While developing a lighter version of this cream for his cosmetic patients, he discovered a secret ingredient which would greatly enhance moisturizer penetration, L-lactic acid. Interestingly, L-lactic acid had unique side effects. Not only were the effects of the moisturizer improved, but his patients began reporting the disappearance of fine lines and wrinkles with a restored, youthful glow. This product, combined with the new, lighter facial cream directed a reversal of the aging process in cells, much like a natural growth factor.

What began as a desire to help one small population of patients grew into a lifetime of devoted research and development of skin rejuvenation products. Dr. Beckman poured his heart into developing this original formulation of lanolin-based creams and L-lactic acid into an entire family of products designed to work synergistically with the body’s natural ability to heal itself. This commitment to providing patients optimal skin health resulted in an array of highly effective products which address a wide variety of skin conditions - from acne to signs of aging. 

It was out of this commitment to patients and urgency from colleagues that Therapon Skin Health was born, a company centered on changing lives around the world through innovation, superior products and excellent customer service.
