Collagen is one of the main proteins responsible for keeping skin firm, smooth, and youthful-looking. As we age, our natural collagen production gradually slows down, which can contribute to fine lines, loss of elasticity, thinning skin, and texture changes over time.

Many aesthetic treatments are designed to help stimulate collagen production, including:
✨ Microneedling
✨ Chemical peels
✨ Laser treatments
✨ Biostimulators (like PRP and PRX)
✨ Sculptra
✨ Medical-grade skincare

Supporting collagen production can help improve skin texture, firmness, and overall skin quality for healthier-looking skin over time.

Your skin barrier plays an important role in protecting your skin, locking in moisture, and keeping irritants out. But over-exfoliating, too many active ingredients, harsh products, sun exposure, weather changes, and even stress can weaken it over time.

Here are some signs that your skin barrier may be damaged, and what to do about it ⬆️

Healthy, glowing skin doesn't come from a single treatment. Consistent skincare habits and a personalized routine are essential for maintaining your results and supporting long-term skin health. Maintaining your results often includes:

✔ Daily sunscreen
✔ Medical-grade skincare
✔ Hydration and barrier support
✔ Maintenance treatments when recommended
✔ Healthy skincare habits at home

These small, consistent habits can keep your skin looking healthy, refreshed, and radiant long after your treatment.

Myth: You can't enjoy an Aerolase treatment in the summer.
Fact: You can - and we actually recommend it!

Warmer weather, sun exposure, and travel can leave your skin feeling dry and depleted. To protect your skin, don’t forget to hydrate, use gentle and moisturizing skincare products, support your skin barrier, and lock it in with SPF each morning.

Healthy skin is for everyone 💙 This Father’s Day, remind the dads, grandfathers, and father figures in your life to take care of their skin too - from daily SPF to regular skin exams and healthy skincare habits.

Wishing a very Happy Father’s Day to all who celebrate!

For most people, washing your face twice daily is enough to remove oil, sweat, makeup, and buildup without over-drying your skin.

✔️ Morning: refresh + prep your skin
✔️ Evening: remove dirt, oil, SPF & makeup

During the summer, make sure to use a gentle, hydrating cleanser that works for your skin type!

Dehydrated skin can happen to anyone, even oily skin types.

When your skin lacks water, it can appear dull, tight, flaky, sensitive, or irritated, and makeup may not sit as smoothly as usual. Summer weather, travel, sun exposure, and overusing active ingredients can all contribute to dehydration.

Focusing on hydration, barrier support, and gentle skincare can help your skin feel healthier, calmer, and more balanced!

Unhealthy skin habits you need to stop immediately:
• Sleeping in makeup
• Picking at your skin
• Skipping sunscreen
• Over-exfoliating
