You can't have a milestone birthday (hello 40!) in aesthetics without taking a moment to appreciate the glow-up, and looking back at 30 year old me, I would say it has been a significant one. No gate keeping here! Here is what I have done over the last decade:

- Quarterly botox (yes, every quarter this past decade). If this before and after isn't the poster child for consistent crows feet tox, I don't know what is.

- Swapping trendy Sephora skincare for science backed medical grade products. I started focusing on ingredients and not influencers.

- Microneedling: I started in my mid-30's, but was not consistent until a few years ago, THIS is when my skin really started to change

- Lasers and devices: I have done everything from Ultherapy to RF microneedling, IPL and more. These have been so beneficial in changing the surface of my skin, from pigment to texture.

- Biostimulators: Both Sculptra and Radiesse. THIS has been one of the biggest game changers in my glow up. It literally stopped the aging process and brought back my youthful collagen rich skin. Multiple sessions over multiple years.

- Periodic fillers: Ive had filler in my cheeks, jawline, temples and lips annually for the past 5 years (lips for the past 7). Nothing else will give you "shape" and "contour" like filler. Also - yes. Those are my natural lips on my before picture. This is why lip filler is one of my favorite things to do. It changes the whole face!

- Peptides and HRT - These have literally changed my life. GLPs (Tirzepatide) and Testosterone have been the most impactful for me.

- Chemical peels - Anywhere from 3-6 times per year depending on my skins needs.

This may sound like a lot but there isn't a treatment I have done that has not contributed to this before and after. In the moment, the changes and progress might feel small, but when you look back over time, you can see they aren't really small at all. So TRUST the process, I promise your future self will thank you.

✨Multiple Biostimulators: Full Face Rejuvenation ✨

Historically in aesthetics, traditional filler has been the go to for anyone looking to restore facial volume loss or enhance certain features. While I still LOVE filler in the right place for the right person, the results are temporary and often focused on immediate volume restoration in a very specific area.

Enter Biostimulators! Biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse, PDGF, PRP/PRF etc.) target the root cause of volume loss and aging skin: collagen depletion. These treatments not only restore lost volume, but the volume once created, lasts a lot longer than filler. It also adds to collagen in the skin as well, which traditional filler cannot do. Think of biostimulators as the “foundation” in your makeup routine, laying the base for everything else. Filler can then be used to highlight and contour certain areas after a good foundation of collagen and volume is established.

On this lovely patient, we used a combination of different biostimulators to achieve this natural result, and her skin will produce more collagen in the months following treatment in each area. This means a longer, more natural looking result that is you, but better :)

If you've followed me for any length of time, you know I've been on a skincare JOURNEY -- and I do not say that lightly. Investing in myself has become a priority and today I'm sharing all the details on where I started, what I've done, and the only woman I trust with my skin: Aiyana Atelier! (link in comments)

Most of you that have been in my chair have heard me talk about the collagen stimulating effects of procedures like Sculptra, PRF and Microneedling, but did you know there are things you can do to help it along? Here are some simple tips to help ensure you’re getting the best results possible! ⬇️

OPTIMIZE PROTEIN INTAKE
Protein, particularly the amino acids found in sources like lean meats, fish, eggs, and plant-based options, provides the building blocks needed for this collagen synthesis. Consuming an adequate amount of protein helps ensure the body has the necessary resources to rebuild and strengthen the skin’s structure, leading to more effective and long-lasting results from the treatment. Additionally, protein supports overall skin health & aids in tissue repair.

ADD IN A BIOAVAILABLE COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENT
These drinks contain high-quality collagen peptides, which are easily absorbed by the body and promote the synthesis of collagen in the skin. In addition to collagen, drinks like Skinade also includes essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C, which is crucial for collagen formation, as well as biotin and Omega-3 fatty acids, which help improve skin elasticity and hydration. Can you tell we have a favorite? 😆

SUPPLEMENT WITH VITAMIN C
Without adequate vitamin C, collagen synthesis is impaired, leading to weaker skin, increased wrinkles, and slower healing. Additionally, vitamin C is a potent antioxidant, helping protect the skin from environmental damage, which can lead to further collagen loss over time.

SUPPORT WITH SKIN CARE
Topical products that include vitamin C, peptides, and retinoids can directly stimulate collagen production and protect existing collagen fibers from breakdown. Exfoliating regularly removes dead skin cells, allowing for better absorption of these beneficial ingredients, while sunscreen protects the skin from harmful UV rays that can speed up collagen loss. Consistency is key!

Thank you Communikait for sharing your journey!

Have you heard of NeoGen PSR USA? It uses nitrogen plasma to rejuvenate skin, target sun damage and fine lines, and overall sculpt the face. Eventually, the old skin will slough off and what's left is a radiant glow!

I had my first treatment done at Aiyana Atelier and these are my 3 day results so far. A few things:

Nope, it doesn't hurt!
The biggest post-care is staying hydrated (lots of water) and no working out.

The powerful impact of collagen production! This is before and after a session of Sculptra, an injectable collagen stimulator. Unlike filler, Sculptra helps the body produce collagen in the areas injected resulting in natural facial volume and brighter skin. While outcomes may vary from person to person, we think she had some pretty fantastic results! Drop your Sculptra questions below or visit www.aiyanaatelier.com to book a consult!
