A few highlights from my time at AMWC China! I recently had the pleasure of speaking about epigenetic-guided regenerative hair restoration. We explored how understanding what’s happening beyond the scalp, from hormones and metabolism to epigenetics and cellular aging, can help us take a more personalized approach to hair loss and regeneration.

So grateful for the opportunity to share my work, connect with wonderful colleagues, and enjoy a little time exploring China along the way!

I’m looking forward to joining the Galien Forum USA 2026, Legacy & Leap, today in New York, where the life sciences community comes together: leaders, decision-makers and visionaries shaping the future of life science research and innovation.

Hindsight, Foresight, and a Generation’s Impact on Health Innovation: a look at the industry’s legacy, and what comes next.

Skin renewal starts at the cell level. Small peptide. Big benefits.

What is copper binding peptide?

GHK-Cu. Copper peptides actually support the biological processes that help preserve skin quality over time.

This formula blends them with moisturizing ingredients with renewal capacity of keratinocytes, which stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, improving skin strength and elasticity.

This formula is the ultimate example of our approach to regenerative dermatology.

What is this treatment doing for my skin beyond what I can see? I look at pigmentation, texture and fine lines, but I also want to understand what’s happening within the skin.

A study published in Nature found that a 1940 nm fractional laser shifted some age-related chemical marks on DNA toward patterns seen in younger skin. Changes were still measurable six months after the final treatment.

It’s early research, but it gives us a way to explore what treatments do beyond visible results.

Supporting the privelege of aging. Not erasing it.

10/13/2026

I’m honored to be joining the Galien Forum USA 2026 on October 29 in New York. Convened by the Galien Foundation, this year’s Forum marks 20 years of medical innovation in the United States and asks an important question: what will define the next 20?

I’ll be contributing to that conversation through a subject that has become an increasingly important part of my clinical and research work: Understanding Skin and Hair in the GLP-1 Era.

The significance of GLP-1 therapies goes well beyond weight loss. We are seeing patients experience changes in nutrient intake, fat distribution, body composition, and muscle mass, often within a relatively short period of time. These changes can also affect the skin and hair, which respond to shifts in the body’s metabolic health. What we observe externally may offer valuable insight into how the body is adapting internally.

That raises a larger question for our field. Should dermatology simply correct the visible consequences of metabolic change or can we use skin and hair to better understand, anticipate, and support the biology of that transition?

Through our Regenerative Aesthetics Program, our work in hair restoration, and my research into longevity and GLP-1 therapies, I’ve become increasingly interested in how metabolic health and aging affect the way our tissues recover and repair.

Hair shedding, changes in skin quality, loss of facial volume, and increasing laxity are not simply aesthetic concerns. They can reflect broader changes happening in the body, from nutritional status and body composition to hormonal shifts. To me, this is where aesthetic medicine is evolving. It is becoming less about correcting what we see and more about understanding the biology behind those changes.

I’m looking forward to exploring these questions with Jeremy Abbate, Vice President & Publisher of Scientific American; Leslie Eden Harris, Chief Strategy Officer for the Medical Aesthetics Incubator Center at L’Oréal Groupe; and Magali Moreau, AVP Scientific Direction, Advanced Research, North America and Brazil at L’Oréal Groupe.

Hair can tell us more than we often realize. Changes in density, shedding, texture, or the hairline can reflect what is happening at the level of the follicle, but they can also signal broader changes affecting the body. Hormonal shifts, nutritional status, inflammation, stress, genetics, aging, and scalp health can all influence the hair growth cycle and the follicular environment.

That is why the question is not simply, “How do we make hair grow?” It is: “What is affecting this follicle’s ability to produce healthy hair?”

We look at the pattern and progression of hair loss, the condition of the scalp, and the individual factors that may be contributing to changes in growth, density, and shedding. From there, treatment can be tailored to you and what the follicle actually needs.

Our Hair Regenerative Program takes this comprehensive approach, combining individualized assessment with targeted treatment to support scalp and follicular health. PRP, exosomes, and our proprietary peptide blend are delivered directly to areas of concern to provide regenerative signals within the follicular environment and support healthier hair growth.

Proactive hair health begins with understanding what is changing and intervening with the right approach at the right time.

Talk to us about your hair concerns and whether our Hair Regenerative Program may be appropriate for you.

Wellness isn’t a drawer full of supplements and a good night’s sleep. Post summer it has to be active.

A 1940 nm fractional non-ablative laser creates thousands of microscopic columns of controlled injury in the skin, and your body responds to this stimulation by switching on proteins, releasing growth factors, and waking up the fibroblasts that build new collagen. You are not removing a brown spot. You are stimulating tissue to rebuild.

And this is where it gets interesting. A study published this year looked at skin months after fractional laser treatment and found the DNA methylation pattern, the chemical tags that tell your genes which of them to read, had shifted away from the aging direction. It kept building through six months, long after the visible healing was done.

So what are you actually treating? If the answer is the brown spot, you are renting a result. If the answer is the repair program underneath it, you are building something.

Where to start: A series of three, spaced about a month apart. Plan for bronzing and a sandpaper texture that flakes through days three to five, so put these on the calendar where you have a few quiet days.

Start now and not in December. The repair keeps working for six months after you finish, and I would rather you go into the winter already with healthier skin.

Sugar and skin aging are more connected than you might think. Over time, glycation can affect collagen and contribute to some of the changes we associate with aging skin.

Topical skincare can’t undo the entire process, but the right ingredients can help support firmness, elasticity and overall skin quality.

Let’s look at what glycation actually means for your skin and what we can realistically do about it.
