Hair & Skin Optimization

Beauty From the Inside Out—Clinically Backed

Patients want youthful skin, stronger hair, and healthy aging—but they don’t always want lasers, injectables, or topicals with harsh side effects. The Hair & Skin Optimization stack targets inflammation, collagen breakdown, oxidative stress, and follicle health to restore beauty from within.

This protocol is ideal as a standalone offering or bundled with aesthetics, weight loss, or hormone therapy to enhance visible results and overall confidence.

Ideal Use Cases

Use this stack for patients who report:

  • Thinning hair or slowed regrowth
  • Brittle texture, shedding, or scalp health issues
  • Fine lines, dryness, or dull complexion
  • Crepey skin, loose tone, or uneven texture
  • Postpartum hair changes or hormonal hair loss
  • Long-COVID, medication-induced, or GLP-1-related hair changes

Best for:

  • Women in perimenopause or postpartum recovery
  • Men with early-stage hair loss or post-TRT skin/hair changes
  • Aesthetic patients seeking deeper, lasting rejuvenation
  • Patients not ready for PRP, microneedling, or hair transplants
