Skin Genes Rx
Leveraging Precision Medicine
Skincare has now entered a new era.
The principles that have led to the rise of Precision Medicine can now be used to elevate skin health and wellness.
In fact, when you DECODE your skin’s DNA, we can better RECODE it to becoming healthier and more beautiful.
Skin Genes Rx™ is a scientific approach to skincare based on these genetics insights.
It begins with an understanding of your skin DNA and this is accomplished by discovering what risk factors your skin holds. Sensitive to sunlight? Prone to develop aging spots and freckles? Have premature skin aging due to oxidative stress? Vulnerable to dryness, inflammation or poor elasticity? Trouble absorbing dietary nutrients that support healthy skin?”
By understanding your skin’s DNA findings, we can interpret your genetics report and customize a personalized skincare and dietary program just for you.
Skin Genes Rx™ scientifically restores your skin’s health and beauty, from the inside out.
Founder
Elaine Chin, MD, MBA
Almost 25 years ago, I landed in the skincare industry because my girlfriends wanted a physician to help them launch a professional skincare line from the US. “Why not?”, I said, “It should be fun!”
Little did I know that during those first few years, it was a decade of skincare that was unprecedented in new technological development. We went from nurturing steam, extractions and facials to AHA and BHA skin peels, laser treatments and medicated skin products with vitamins.
I’d famously declare in my training sessions to estheticians and dermatologists,” Why do a facial when you can do a medicated one that has impact?”
L’Oreal came along and bought out our rights for the BioMedic Clinical Care line we were distributing in Canada. Our team decided to formulate our own skincare line and named it Biophora. Today, it continues to thrive in the marketplace under the direction of my former business partners.
Around 2007, it seemed like the right time to move forward. The med-spa industry was beginning to behave like a grab bag of products and services that I felt was becoming disingenuous. There were so many anti-aging claims that were far-fetched, and the consumer was getting very confused.
I didn’t abandon the health consumer but rather doubled down to develop my clinical practice at Executive Health Centre with a team of holistic practitioners and began to offer personalized healthcare. We curate and leverage the best in Precision Medicine, by understanding genetics, hormones, nutrients and specialized biomarkers to prevent and predict the early onset of worrisome medical conditions.

Returning to the Skincare World
Since I left the skincare world almost 25 years ago, many of the ground-breaking skin treatments and methodologies I was involved in, are now mainstream and available over the counter.
It’s now time to share my expertise on the advances in personalized healthcare and apply it to skincare.
Let’s appreciate how precision medicine can help us develop the best skincare regimen possible for those who want the best science has to offer.
