FRAXEL® LASER
A fractional laser procedure that resurfaces the skin by treating microscopic columns while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This stimulates new collagen production and accelerates cell renewal, improving overall tone and texture.
​Ideal for treating fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, acne and surgical scars, enlarged pores, and precancerous lesions (actinic keratoses).
​Recovery: Redness, swelling, and peeling for several days. Sun protection and gentle skincare are critical.
​Results: Visible skin renewal develops gradually over weeks, with collagen remodeling continuing for months. Maintenance treatments may be recommended.

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)
A critical coenzyme found in all living cells that plays a central role in energy production, DNA repair, and cellular metabolism. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, affecting cellular function and overall vitality.
Indications / Uses: Often utilized in aesthetic and wellness contexts to support cellular health, improve energy metabolism, enhance recovery, and promote healthy aging. Available via intravenous therapy, oral supplementation, or precursor compounds (like NMN or NR).
Recovery / Considerations: Generally well-tolerated; potential mild side effects include flushing, nausea, or fatigue. Medical supervision is recommended for IV or high-dose protocols.
Results: May support improved energy, cognitive function, metabolic efficiency, and overall cellular resilience. Effects are cumulative and vary depending on individual health status and supplementation regimen.
