Lexington Living: Aesthetics Meets Wellness

It's the year we have all been waiting for! Wellness and Aesthetics have officially become the dynamic duo for 2026! With focus on bio-stimulating injectables, laser, and peptides. The best news, no more 10 step skincare routines. Pick 3 products that have multiple benefits and stick to them!


Biostimulators

Let's start with biostimulators. A biostimulator is an injectable or skin booster that works with your body's own natural mechanisms to regenerate and repair. They teach your skin to rebuild itself from within. As we age, we gradually lose fat and collagen. These are the biggest culprits when it comes to signs of aging in the face but you are in luck because we have the ultimate solution for both.


  • Sculptra: The original tried and true biostimulator is made of poly-lactic acid, which gradually stimulates collagen over time, restoring structure, firmness, radiance, and youthful volume. The results are a refreshed natural look that evolves subtly, never puffy, never obvious. Think of this as an investment in your skin's future strengthening its foundation.
  • Renuva: Now it's time for the next-generation regenerative treatment that helps build volume, using biology, not bulk. Made from a purified adipose-derived matrix, Renuva signals your body to rebuild and regenerate healthy fat cells over time. Much like Sculptra there is no instant fill, it gradually replaces lost volume with your own living tissue. Ideal for places fat has diminished in the face and body.



Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing is one of the most powerful ways to rejuvenate skin because they work at a cellular level, using controlled light energy to trigger collagen synthesis and cell turnover. As a result, you can see improved texture, tone, and reverse the signs of aging. There are different types designed for different goals and downtime preferences:


  • Ablative Lasers: Remove damaged outer layers of skin for dramatic results in wrinkles, scars, deeper sun damage with visible downtime.
  • Non-Ablative Lasers: Heat the deeper layers without breaking down the surface stimulating collagen with minimal downtime.
  • Fractional Laser: Treats microscopic columns of skin leaving surrounding tissue intact, allowing for faster healing, customized intensity, and customized target concerns.


Peptides

Finally, the newest and greatest advancement in wellness and aesthetics, peptides! Peptides are chains of amino acids that have very specific functions. Think of peptides like keys to a door, only certain keys unlock certain functions and trigger a certain chain of events.


Why are peptides so useful? Their unique features and small size allow for increased permeability or absorbency into all the cells in the body. Tiny but powerful peptides can unlock the secrets to longevity and anti-aging. There are so many options with peptides—from enhancing hair, skin, and nails to repairing damaged tissue all over the body, the possibilities are endless.


Conclusion

So which treatment is the best? A well-rounded combination of treatments by a knowledgeable provider is always best. We age for many different reasons so there is no single treatment that solves it all. But we finally have all the tools we need to heal from the inside out!
