Don’t just fill the space. Rebuild the foundation. 🧬
While traditional Hyaluronic Acid fillers offer immediate gratification, Sculptra Aesthetics plays the long game.
As seen in this video, we are preparing and applying Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA)—a powerful bio-stimulator.
Unlike a gel that simply sits under the skin to add volume, Sculptra acts as a “seed” that signals your body to produce its own fresh, new collagen.
Why we love it at Aura:
1️⃣ It’s Structural: It reinforces the skin’s inner structure to restore facial volume that has been lost to aging.
2️⃣ It’s Gradual: The results appear subtly over a few months, so you never look “done” or puffy.
3️⃣ It’s Long-Lasting: Enjoy your natural rejuvenation for up to 2 years or more.
It is the ultimate treatment for hollow temples, cheeks, and global facial firming.

Great skin is 20% treatment, 80% habit. ✨
We love seeing you in our treatment chair for lasers, microneedling, and injectables. But the truth is: What you do between appointments matters just as much.
Think of medical-grade skincare as the insurance policy for your face.
Unlike over-the-counter products, these lines are formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients designed to penetrate the dermis and extend the lifespan of your in-clinic results.
At Aura Skin Spa, we curate a pharmacy of the world’s most scientifically proven formulations to customize your daily protocol:
💧 SkinCeuticals: Our go-to for deep recovery and moisture (like the Hydra Balm and Hydration Masque).
🔬 OBAGI: Clinical transformation for every concern, from potent Facial Serums and Eye Creams to superior sun defense.
🛡️ EltaMD: The gold standard in daily sun protection to prevent future damage.
🧬 iS Clinical: Targeted anti-aging solutions, including the powerful Neck Complex to tighten and tone.
Don’t guess with your skin. Let us prescribe the exact regimen your skin is craving.

The “bio-hack” taking over Silicon Valley.
If you’ve been following the headlines in tech and longevity, you’ve likely seen one acronym dominating the conversation: NAD+.
In Silicon Valley, where optimization is a religion, NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) isn’t viewed just as a supplement—it is viewed as a competitive advantage.
Why the obsession?
Because it treats the one currency money can’t buy: Cellular Energy.
While caffeine merely blocks sleep signals, NAD+ actually refuels the mitochondria (the power plants) in your cells. It is the biological raw material required for:
🔹 Cognitive Edge: Eliminating brain fog and sharpening focus.
🔹 Systemic Repair: Fixing DNA damage caused by stress and aging.
🔹 Sustained Vitality: Physical energy without the crash.
We are bringing this high-performance protocol out of the boardrooms and into our clinic in Jackson Square.
Don’t just read about the trend.
Feel the difference.

The luxury of biological restoration. 🩸✨
True rejuvenation is about harmony. For patients seeking a holistic approach to volume, EzGel offers a sophisticated alternative to traditional fillers.
In this video, Dr. Waechter utilizes this 100% autologous therapy. By processing your own blood to isolate beneficial proteins (Albumin) and healing factors (PRF), we create a naturally bio-stimulating gel.
The Aura Philosophy:
We use EzGel to not only restore facial contours but to signal the skin to regenerate itself.
It is an elegant solution for treating delicate areas like the under-eyes, or for global facial balancing—without the use of synthetic ingredients.
Volume that is inherently yours.
Discover the power of regenerative aesthetics.

You have the engine. Now add the turbo.
Patients often ask us: “I’m loving my results with Retatrutide/Tirzepatide, but can I do more?”
The answer is yes. This is where Peptide Stacking comes in.
While GLP-1s are incredible for appetite control and metabolic reset, adding a synergistic peptide allows us to customize your body composition goals.
Think of it as fine-tuning your transformation:
🧬 Want more muscle definition?
We stack with CJC-1295/Ipamorelin to signal muscle preservation.
🔥 Chasing a snatched waist?
We add Tesamorelin or AOD-9604 to attack specific visceral fat.
✨ Worried about skin laxity?
We introduce GHK-Cu to tighten the skin envelope as you shrink.
It is precision medicine, tailored to your aesthetic goals.

Lift the skin. Keep the volume. ✨
One of the biggest concerns when treating skin laxity is the fear of losing facial volume.
For patients with naturally thinner faces—or those who have experienced rapid weight loss through our advanced Peptide Therapies (like Tirzepatide or Retatrutide)—preserving facial fat is non-negotiable.
You want to fix the laxity, but you don’t want to look “gaunt.”
Enter Sofwave™.
Unlike older technologies that penetrate deep into the tissue (potentially melting fat), Sofwave is a “Volume-Sparing” treatment.
It delivers energy precisely at 1.5mm—targeting the collagen-rich mid-dermis while staying safely above the delicate fat pads that give your face its youthful cushion.
Why it’s our protocol of choice:
🔹 For Weight Loss Patients: Ideally paired with your Tirzepatide or Retatrutide journey to tighten skin as you slim down (“Ozempic Face” management).
🔹 For Thinner Faces: Lifts the brow, jawline, and neck without altering your natural structure.
We treat the metabolism and the skin.
On a weight loss journey? Don’t forget your skin.

Your skin has a “Do Not Enter” sign. ⛔
Here is the hard truth: Your skin is designed to be a barrier. That means most of your expensive serums are just sitting on the surface, waiting to evaporate.
Microneedling changes that.
By creating thousands of tiny, invisible channels, this treatment essentially “opens the door” for your skincare.
Instead of sitting on top, your products can finally sink deep into the skin where the real repair happens.
It turns a “good” routine into a transformational one.
Why we love it:
✨ Boosts product absorption by up to 300%.
✨ Stimulates natural collagen instantly.
✨ Smoothes texture and acne scars.
Stop wasting your products. Make them work.

Strategic beauty means working with the seasons, not against them. 🌨️
January in San Francisco gives us a unique opportunity. The lower UV index and the shift in routine allow us to perform treatments that require less sun exposure and more internal focus.
It is the perfect month to:
1️⃣ Resurface: Undo the pigmentation from last year with strong lasers like Fraxel.
2️⃣ Reset: Utilize Peptide Therapy to shed holiday inflammation and visceral fat.
3️⃣ Repair: Inject PDRN to heal the skin barrier against the dry winter air.
Don’t wait for summer to start prepping. The glow you want in June is built in January.
Your winter protocol is ready.
