More About Dr Barbara
In 2002, Dr. Sturm translated the science from her clinical research and orthopedic practice into the field of aesthetics. “Aesthetics is a combination of art and science, and it is a fascinating challenge with immediate and very gratifying results for patients,” says Dr. Sturm. “I started by injecting Hyaluronic Acid and Botox which provided great results, but I kept thinking that it would be a great additional anti-aging booster for the skin if we also started mixing it with the body’s own anti-inflammatory healing factors, like we did in orthopedic medicine.”
Skincare formulated with molecular science. ‘Molecular’ means to work on a cellular level. If each active ingredient represents a molecule, each one can have a different size and different pathway to perform very specific and focused tasks throughout the skin. For a formula to be truly effective, its molecular structure needs to have a 360° approach to heal, repair and regenerate the skin across a complex matrix.
Today, Dr. Sturm has seven Dr. Barbara Sturm Spa & Boutiques worldwide, including London, New York, Miami, and LA, which are home to her high-performance treatments and serve as education hubs for her patients. Her Molecular Cosmetics collection is built on 25 years of scientific research with over 300 products and more than 5,000 carefully curated skincare routines that have gained global recognition and a cult following.
We love celebrating with our STURM Community. From taking over New York with our very own STURM POST newsstand, to our STURM HAUS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY WORKSHOP in London, we offer our customers countless ways to explore the latest in skincare technologies and anti-aging innovations. More recently, Dr. Sturm announced a three-year partnership with Frieze and the launch of an Anti-Inflammatory Lounge, offering attendees an immersive and exclusive STURM experience as well as a moment of skincare education and exploration.
Dr. Sturm’s philosophy is firmly built around the anti-inflammatory lifestyle which includes maintaining an anti-inflammatory diet and choosing skincare products rich in anti-inflammatory ingredients to replenish hydration and nutrition levels, promote telomerase activation and encourage exosome activity – key mediators in cell-to-cell communication that play pivotal roles in reducing inflammation during aging.
“My younger brother is an architect and designs all of my Spa & Boutiques my older brother takes care of my finances, and Charly has become a face and ambassador of the brand and everything that comes with it. We serve the next generation – Charly’s – so her perspectives and insights are invaluable.” – DR. BARBARA STURM
