Dr. Sue Decotiis, MD, is a triple board-certified physician specializing in medical weight loss, hormone optimization and metabolic health. Board-certified in Internal Medicine, Obesity Medicine and Anti-Aging/Regenerative Medicine, she brings a comprehensive, integrative approach to patient care, bridging traditional medicine with advanced, evidence-based therapies.
In her Manhattan private practice, Dr. Decotiis works with women navigating perimenopause and menopause, as well as men experiencing hormonal decline, including andropause. Her focus is restoring metabolic function, energy, cognitive clarity and overall vitality through highly individualized, data-driven treatment plans. These protocols often include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, peptide therapy and medically supervised weight loss, all grounded in advanced diagnostic testing and a deep understanding of the body’s interconnected systems.
Increasingly, her work began to surface a more nuanced challenge. As patients experienced meaningful internal change—losing weight, stabilizing hormones and improving metabolic function—many found that their skin did not follow at the same pace: loss of firmness, shifts in texture and a visible decline in elasticity.
Rather than treat it as an afterthought, Dr. Decotiis approached it the same way she approaches everything else: through observation, pattern recognition and clinical refinement—that process led to the creation of Dr. Sue Skincare.
The formulation reflects a balance of established skincare principles and emerging innovation. Retinol supports surface renewal. Ceramides reinforce the skin barrier. Multi-depth hydration systems restore suppleness. Poppy extract supports the skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid. At its core is a proprietary, patent-pending peptide complex designed to signal fibroblasts, supporting collagen and elastin production while helping maintain and repair the skin’s structure.
The goal is not to override the skin, but to support it as it adapts to internal change. This philosophy defines Dr. Decotiis’ broader approach to medicine. The body is not a collection of isolated systems; it is interconnected, constantly responding, adjusting and signaling. Skin is part of that system, and often the final layer to respond.
For Dr. Decotiis, addressing that layer is not about transformation, it is about alignment—where the external begins to reflect what is happening internally.
