• Sculptra® Filler puts volume in. Sculptra gets your face making its own again. Nothing changes the week you have it, and then over the next few months people start telling you that you look well without being able to say what changed. That is the point of it.
• SculpSure® Body Contouring You already did the work. The diet changed, you exercise, maybe you are on a GLP-1 and the scale has moved. And there is still one pocket that never went anywhere. SculpSure targets the fat in that pocket in about twenty five minutes, with flat paddles held against your skin, nothing going in and nothing taken out.
• RHA® Dermal Filler Most filler looks right in a mirror and wrong in a conversation. The RHA Collection is built to stretch and recover the way your own tissue does, which is why it is the family we reach for around the mouth and the smile lines, where everything moves all day long.
• Potenza® RF Microneedling Creams work on the surface. Acne scars, loose skin and fine lines are not on the surface. Potenza reaches the layer underneath and gets your skin building collagen again, so the change comes from your own tissue rather than from something sitting on top of it.
• Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) PRF turns one vial of your own blood into a treatment for thinning hair and tired-looking skin. We draw it, spin it, and put it back where you want the change: under the eyes, across the cheeks, or into the scalp. Nothing synthetic is added, so almost nobody reacts to it, and the result builds gradually enough that it simply looks like you.
• Pendulum® Probiotics Most probiotics are built around the handful of bacteria that are easy to grow and easy to keep alive on a shelf. Pendulum is built around one that is neither. We stock it at our San Luis Obispo office because patients ask us about gut health constantly, and we will tell you plainly what it is for and what it is not.
• Nutrafol® You noticed it in a photograph, or in the drain, or because your ponytail got thinner. Nutrafol is a daily supplement with a real six-month study behind it, which is more than most of that shelf can say. We stock it here, after somebody has worked out what is actually causing the thinning.
• JUVÉDERM® Fillers Faces do not sag so much as empty. The cheek goes first, everything below it follows, and the mirror calls it sagging. Filler puts back what left, in the places it left from. Which product goes where is the whole skill.
• IPL Photofacial An IPL photofacial uses pulses of light to clear the two things that make skin look weathered: brown spots and small red veins. The light is soaked up by the brown and the red, breaks them apart, and your body carries away what is left over the following days. Most people need three to five visits about a month apart, and a dermatologist checks your skin first.
• ICON™ Laser Hair Reduction Stop shaving, waxing and threading. Laser hair reduction clears unwanted hair from the underarms, bikini line, legs, face, back and chest, and most people stay hair free for months or years afterward. An underarm takes about fifteen minutes, a chilled tip keeps you comfortable, and you go straight back to your day.
• HydraFacial® Cleansed, exfoliated, cleared out and hydrated in one sitting, and you walk out looking like you slept for nine hours. Half an hour, no recovery, makeup back on in the parking lot. The difference here is who is standing behind the person doing it.
• Heliocare® You mean to reapply. On a boat, on a hike, at a kid's game in Pismo, you never do. Heliocare is a daily capsule made from a fern extract that adds a second layer for exactly those days. It is not sunscreen and it does not replace any part of what you already do.
