For decades, Dr. Sue Decotiis has helped patients navigate the complex relationship between internal health and visible aging. Through her work in medically supervised weight loss, longevity medicine, and hormone optimization, she saw firsthand how dramatically metabolic and hormonal shifts can impact the skin — particularly across the body. That clinical observation became the foundation for Dr Sue Skincare.
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 New York City private practice, Dr. Sue 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, improving metabolic function - many found that their skin did not follow at the same pace. Loss of firmness. Shifts in texture. A visible decline in elasticity.
Rather than treat it as an afterthought, Dr. Sue 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.
“I combined clinically proven skincare actives with advanced delivery systems, a patent-pending peptide complex, and targeted ingredients like poppy extract to create a formula designed to get results.”
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 reflects a broader philosophy that defines Dr. Sue’s work. 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. Sue, addressing that layer is not about transformation. It is about alignment - where the external begins to reflect what is happening internally.
Triple Board-Certified in Internal Medicine, Obesity Medicine, and Anti-Aging/Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Sue approaches skin through the lens of interconnected health. Her work combines advanced diagnostics, peptide therapy, hormone optimization, medically supervised weight loss, and regenerative therapies to support patients through every stage of physical change.
