From South Korea to San Francisco: The regenerative power of PDRN. 🧬
It sounds futuristic, but the science is rooted in pure biology.
PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide), derived from Salmon DNA, is currently the most talked-about ingredient in aesthetic medicine—and for good reason.
Unlike hyaluronic acid, which simply hydrates, PDRN acts as a biological signal.
Because it is 95% similar to human DNA, it effectively “wakes up” your tired cells, providing the building blocks they need to repair damaged tissue, calm chronic inflammation, and rebuild the skin barrier from the inside out.
We recommend adding this booster to your protocol if you struggle with:
🔹 Acne scars or texture issues.
🔹 Persistent redness (Rosacea-prone).
🔹 Thin, aging skin that lacks “bounce.”
🔹 Dullness that no serum seems to fix.
It is the closest thing to a “reset button” for your skin health.
Ready to experience the “Glass Skin” effect?
Comment “DNA” and we will send you details on our PDRN protocols, or book directly via the link in bio.

You’ve restored the volume. Now, let’s perfect the skin. ✨
In aesthetic medicine, we look at the face in two layers:
1️⃣ The Foundation (Bone & Fat): Which we support with Dermal Fillers.
2️⃣ The Fabric (Skin & Collagen): Which needs to be tight, smooth, and resilient.
Morpheus8 is our technology of choice for the “Fabric.”
While fillers are incredible for lifting and contouring (as we discussed in our last post), they don’t change the actual quality of your skin. Morpheus8 does.
Using fractionated RF energy, it remodels the collagen network deep within the dermis, shrinking pores, smoothing texture, and tightening laxity along the jawline and neck.
We are proud to be recognized as a Top Morpheus8 Provider in 2025. This distinction means our medical team has the experience and precision to deliver results that are powerful, yet completely natural.
Often, the most stunning transformations come from addressing both—restoring the volume you’ve lost, and tightening the skin that covers it.

The goal isn’t to look “full.” It’s to look effortless.
There is a common misconception that Dermal Fillers are just for erasing wrinkles. But if you only chase the lines, you end up looking “puffy” rather than rejuvenated.
True restoration is about light and shadow.
As we age, we lose deep structural support (bone and fat pads), causing the face to drift downward and cast shadows—under the eyes, around the mouth, and along the jawline.
We use advanced Hyaluronic Acid matrices not to “inflate” your face, but to act as invisible architectural support. By strategically placing firm gels like Juvéderm Voluma or Restylane Lyft, we can:
✨ Lift the cheek apex to reflect light.
✨ Define the jawline to reduce jowls.
✨ Restore the deep foundation before smoothing the surface.
For high-movement areas like the lips or laugh lines, we switch to flexible micro-fillers (like Volbella or Refyne) that move seamlessly with your expressions.
The result is unnoticeable to others, but undeniable in the mirror.
Architecture meets Art.

When topicals reach their limit, biology takes over. 🧬
We love a good serum, but the truth is, the skin barrier is designed to keep things out. To truly reverse the signs of aging, sometimes we need to work from the inside out.
Enter Injectable GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide).
Unlike standard skincare, this regenerative therapy delivers 100% absorption directly to your system. It acts as a master signal for your body to ramp up collagen production and improve skin elasticity globally—not just on your face, but everywhere.
Think of it as the ultimate upgrade to your wellness routine.
✨ The Protocol:
It is a simple, quick, and virtually painless at-home micro-injection.
No downtime. Just pure, concentrated science working to tighten, brighten, and restore your skin’s density.

Toning muscle is hard. Tightening skin shouldn’t be.
Many of our patients at our Jackson Square clinic are diligent with their workouts but still struggle with skin laxity on the upper arms. This is often because “loose skin” is a structural issue—a loss of collagen and elastin that gym weights simply can’t fix.
That’s where medical aesthetic technology bridges the gap.
In this video, we are using Sofwave™, a breakthrough non-invasive treatment. By delivering Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam technology specifically to the mid-dermis, we stimulate the production of new, healthy collagen.
The best part?
It’s not a surgery. There are no scars to hide. You can go straight back to your day in San Francisco immediately after your appointment.

The difference between aging and aging well? Tissue depth.
While surface treatments fade in weeks, Morpheus8 rebuilds collagen where your facial structure is actually supported—deep in the subdermal layers where skin laxity begins. This isn’t about temporary tightening or filler that migrates. It’s radiofrequency microneedling that triggers your body’s natural remodeling process, restoring definition to your jawline from within. The result? A sculpted contour that looks like bone structure, not injection. As a 2025 Top Morpheus8 Provider, our team doesn’t just operate the device—we understand facial anatomy, optimal depth settings, and how to customize treatment for natural, lasting results. This is precision facial remodeling guided by expertise, not trends.
