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.

Looking back at a year defined by confidence, connection, and cutting-edge science. 🥂
As we close the chapter on 2025, we find ourselves overwhelmingly grateful.
This year, you trusted us not just with your appearance, but with your self-esteem and your wellness journey.
We celebrated timeless transformations—from body contouring with Vanquish ME and Sculptra Aesthetic for the buttocks, to the delicate artistry of Dermal Fillers, EzGel, and neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport. We also renewed complex skin textures with our Clear + Brilliant and Fraxel laser protocols.
✨ But 2025 was truly a year of Innovation & Recognition.
We were incredibly honored to be named a Top Morpheus8 Provider, refining our expertise in deep subdermal remodeling and skin tightening.
We also introduced the future of regenerative aesthetics to Jackson Square:
🔹 The gravity-defying, non-invasive lift of Sofwave™.
🔹 The deep cellular repair of PDRN Boosters (Salmon DNA).
🔹 The metabolic optimization of our medical Peptide Therapies—including advanced GLP-1 protocols like Tirzepatide and Retatrutide, alongside longevity powerhouses like NAD+, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, and GHK-Cu.
It was also a year of growth for our family. In May, we were thrilled to welcome Shannyn, RN, whose expertise and gentle touch have elevated our patient care to new levels.
Thank you for allowing Aura Skin Spa to be your sanctuary.
To our beautiful community: May 2026 be your most radiant, healthy, and joyful year yet.
Happy New Year! 🤍

You’ve done the work. Now let’s reveal the results. 🧬
There is a misconception that GLP-1 therapies are only for massive weight loss.
In reality, they are powerful tools for Body Recomposition and metabolic optimization.
Many of our patients at Aura Skin Spa are active, healthy individuals who simply cannot break through their biological set point. They have the muscle, but it’s hidden under a layer of stubborn, hormonal fat that diet alone won’t touch.
This is where science bridges the gap.
By utilizing Tirzepatide (Dual-Action) or the cutting-edge Retatrutide (Triple-Action), we can:
🔹 Target visceral fat (the kind that hides your abs).
🔹 Increase metabolic efficiency (burn more at rest).
🔹 Preserve the lean muscle mass you work so hard for.
It’s not “cheating.” It’s bio-hacking your own metabolism to match your effort level.

So grateful for this team and all the magic we create together. Cheers to an amazing year and an even better one ahead 🤍
Unlock limitless vitality with NAD+ and Peptide Therapy. 🔋
We often think of anti-aging as an external pursuit. But true longevity—the kind that lets you keep up with your kids on the beach—starts at the cellular level.
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is the essential coenzyme found in every living cell. It is the fuel that powers your mitochondria to produce energy.
However, by middle age, our natural levels drop by nearly 50%. This decline is often the root cause of “brain fog,” fatigue, and slower metabolic recovery.
At Aura Skin Spa, we incorporate NAD+ injections as a cornerstone of our Regenerative Medicine program. While it pairs perfectly with our peptide protocols, NAD+ specifically targets:
🔹 Mental Clarity: Clears neural pathways to banish brain fog.
🔹 Cellular Energy: Increases ATP production for sustained physical endurance.
🔹 DNA Repair: Protects against oxidative stress and slows systemic aging.
It’s not just about looking younger. It’s about having the energy to live fully.

From South Korea to San Francisco: The regenerative power of PDRN. 🧬
It sounds futuristic, but the science is rooted in pure biology.
PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide), derived from Salmon DNA, is currently the most talked-about ingredient in aesthetic medicine—and for good reason.
Unlike hyaluronic acid, which simply hydrates, PDRN acts as a biological signal.
Because it is 95% similar to human DNA, it effectively “wakes up” your tired cells, providing the building blocks they need to repair damaged tissue, calm chronic inflammation, and rebuild the skin barrier from the inside out.
We recommend adding this booster to your protocol if you struggle with:
🔹 Acne scars or texture issues.
🔹 Persistent redness (Rosacea-prone).
🔹 Thin, aging skin that lacks “bounce.”
🔹 Dullness that no serum seems to fix.
It is the closest thing to a “reset button” for your skin health.
Ready to experience the “Glass Skin” effect?
Comment “DNA” and we will send you details on our PDRN protocols, or book directly via the link in bio.

You’ve restored the volume. Now, let’s perfect the skin. ✨
In aesthetic medicine, we look at the face in two layers:
1️⃣ The Foundation (Bone & Fat): Which we support with Dermal Fillers.
2️⃣ The Fabric (Skin & Collagen): Which needs to be tight, smooth, and resilient.
Morpheus8 is our technology of choice for the “Fabric.”
While fillers are incredible for lifting and contouring (as we discussed in our last post), they don’t change the actual quality of your skin. Morpheus8 does.
Using fractionated RF energy, it remodels the collagen network deep within the dermis, shrinking pores, smoothing texture, and tightening laxity along the jawline and neck.
We are proud to be recognized as a Top Morpheus8 Provider in 2025. This distinction means our medical team has the experience and precision to deliver results that are powerful, yet completely natural.
Often, the most stunning transformations come from addressing both—restoring the volume you’ve lost, and tightening the skin that covers it.

The goal isn’t to look “full.” It’s to look effortless.
There is a common misconception that Dermal Fillers are just for erasing wrinkles. But if you only chase the lines, you end up looking “puffy” rather than rejuvenated.
True restoration is about light and shadow.
As we age, we lose deep structural support (bone and fat pads), causing the face to drift downward and cast shadows—under the eyes, around the mouth, and along the jawline.
We use advanced Hyaluronic Acid matrices not to “inflate” your face, but to act as invisible architectural support. By strategically placing firm gels like Juvéderm Voluma or Restylane Lyft, we can:
✨ Lift the cheek apex to reflect light.
✨ Define the jawline to reduce jowls.
✨ Restore the deep foundation before smoothing the surface.
For high-movement areas like the lips or laugh lines, we switch to flexible micro-fillers (like Volbella or Refyne) that move seamlessly with your expressions.
The result is unnoticeable to others, but undeniable in the mirror.
Architecture meets Art.
