One of my patients recently completed three treatments combining Ariessence® recombinant platelet-derived growth factor (rPDGF) with microneedling, and the hair growth we’re seeing has been truly impressive. Increased density, improved thickness, and healthier-looking hair.

So what is recombinant PDGF?
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is one of the key signaling proteins your body naturally uses for wound healing and tissue regeneration. Recombinant PDGF is a bioengineered, highly purified version of this growth factor, created to deliver consistent, targeted stimulation without relying on variable patient-derived products.
Why does it work for hair?
Hair follicles are highly responsive to growth signals. PDGF helps by:
• Activating dormant hair follicles
• Supporting the growth (anagen) phase of the hair cycle
• Improving follicular blood supply and cellular signaling
• Encouraging a healthier scalp environment for regrowth
When paired with microneedling, which creates controlled micro-channels in the scalp, rPDGF can pe*****te more effectively and amplify the regenerative response. Think of microneedling as the “door opener” and rPDGF as the instruction manual telling follicles to grow.
This approach is non-surgical, science-backed, and results-driven—and for the right patient, it can be a powerful option in a comprehensive hair restoration plan.
📍 As always, treatments are personalized, and results may vary—but regenerative dermatology continues to show us what’s possible when biology is respected and leveraged thoughtfully.

K-Beauty Confidential: COSRX Alpha Arbutin 2%
Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common concerns I see — and it often needs patience more than force.

Alpha arbutin is a derivative of hydroquinone that works by gently slowing down tyrosinase, the enzyme involved in melanin production. The result isn’t overnight bleaching — it’s gradual regulation of pigment over time.

What I appreciate about this formula: it pairs the ingredient with a hydrating base, which makes it easier to tolerate in routines where irritation can actually worsen pigmentation.

This reflects a core K-Beauty principle:
support the barrier, then address the concern.
K-Beauty evolved in populations prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — meaning skin that often responds better to low, steady dosing rather than aggressive treatments.
It’s not about chasing fast results.
It’s about building predictable, sustainable ones.

What should I try next?

Correction of poorly placed filler:

Thank you for trusting me ! You look beautiful.

Understanding the dynamics of aging and the youthful face is critical to truly natural facial balancing. It’s about looking at the whole face and seeking harmony not just individual perfection of features which can leave patients looking—humanoid. I use precise filler placement to improve the way the skin drapes instead of indiscriminately filing to leave the face refreshed, balanced and not overfilled!

So many of you ask me what to use between office treatments to keep your glow going. As a dermatologist, I’m all about smart maintenance. My newest go-to? The Triple Power Tri-Peptides Serum.
It combines Tri-peptides for firmness, Vitamin C to brighten like a gentle laser-effect, and Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate and replump the way filler does—all in one lightweight serum.
I recommend starting it as soon as your skin is calm post-procedure because it helps maintain results and even extend the time between visits. Try it and let me know what you think.

ASDS25 was incredible.

I was honored to direct a session on Liposuction with brilliant colleagues from all over the country including the father of tumescent liposuction Dr. Jeffery Klein. 😍

I had the chance to spend quality time with my derm family and celebrate the birthday of my brilliant, inspiring, exceptionally kind friend .fabi! 🎉

I had exciting meetings with many of my industry partners who I am so grateful to for allowing me to participate in shaping what is new to come in our field.

I had delicious food at and I’m still guilty about my shopping trip with .

I learned, I laughed and I leveled up! Thanks for always making me better. Can’t wait until next year. 💕

✨ Welcome to K-Beauty Confidential ✨
This series is my opportunity to take a closer, evidence-based look at K-beauty’s most popular products — the formulas, the ingredients, and the science that actually drives results. I’ll be reviewing each product as a dermatologist, not as a trend participant.
To begin, I tested the MediCue Pink PDRN Serum Booster Pro for a week while I was in Italy this summer. Despite heat, long travel days, and environmental stress, my skin felt more luminous, more even, and noticeably less reactive.

🔬 A quick science note on PDRN:
PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a DNA-derived molecule studied for its role in tissue repair. Research suggests that it:
• Supports fibroblast activity and cell turnover
• Helps modulate inflammation in the skin
• Enhances barrier recovery after irritation
• Improves hydration and overall radiance through healthier epidermal function
It’s a compelling ingredient for anyone dealing with sensitivity, dullness, or environmental stress exposure.
As this series continues, I’ll be breaking down K-beauty favorites with clear, unbiased dermatologic analysis.
👇 If there’s a K-beauty product you’d like me to evaluate, let me know.
