Pelvic floor health is something most women deal with.

The adjustments happen so gradually you almost don't notice. A bathroom stop before leaving the house becomes routine. Certain workouts quietly get dropped. You just... work around it.

And because no one talks about it, you assume it's just you. It's not just you.

Incontinence is incredibly common, especially for women who've had children or are in perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause. As estrogen declines, pelvic floor muscles naturally weaken and lose elasticity. They lose strength and integrity.

This isn't something you caused. It's something your body is going through.

What's actually happening: Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support your bladder, uterus, and bowel. When those muscles weaken, bladder control decreases, urgency increases, pelvic organ support weakens, and sensation during intimacy can change.

The solution: Emsella.

Emsella is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that strengthens pelvic floor muscles. You sit fully clothed in a specialized chair for 30 minutes. HIFEM technology delivers approximately 11,200 involuntary pelvic floor contractions per session — the equivalent of 11,200 Kegels. Fully clothed, no downtime, nothing internal.

Emsella can be focused in two ways depending on your goals — bladder control, or sexual health and sensation. Your treatment is customized based on what you're experiencing.

What to expect: Typically 6 sessions over 3 weeks (2 per week, spaced 48 hours apart) or 1 per week for a more gradual approach. Most people notice improvement within 2–4 weeks. Results may continue to improve over the following months.

You don't have to quietly adjust anymore.

Audrey asked Kacie to walk her through the actual routine, not the basics, but what she genuinely reaches for every morning and night.

Here's what's on her shelf right now.
At night, her go-to retinol is Skin Better. "It works, but it's not irritating." For anyone who's struggled with retinol sensitivity, that distinction matters.

Her morning routine is where the layering gets intentional.

She starts with Hydrinity, a hydrating serum she says goes a step beyond surface moisture. Then topical vitamin C — Obagi's dropper serum. "My skin just glows after putting that on."

The product she gets most excited about is the D·E·J Daily Boosting Serum from Revision. It's peptide-rich and supports cellular energy and collagen signaling, the kind of ingredient that makes the rest of your routine work harder. "It's almost like the fountain of youth in a bottle. And when I use it, my skin just looks better."

To finish: ColorScience physical SPF. Tinted mineral sunscreen that doubles as a light foundation. "I'm a little lazy when it comes to makeup. I put that on and we're done."
The routine isn't built around one brand. It's built around knowing what each product does and why it earns its place.

Everyone's talking about longevity. But what about the health span of your skin?

Living longer only matters if you're living well. The same applies to your skin. The goal isn't just to slow aging, it's to make sure your skin is genuinely healthy when you're in your 70s and 80s.

Here's what that actually looks like.

The holy trinity of preventative skin health: a nightly retinoid, daily vitamin C, and daily SPF. Start in your 20s. Earlier is always better.
"Vitamin C is one of the only topicals that actually stimulates collagen. It also boosts the effects of your sunscreen. And retinoids support cellular turnover in a way very few ingredients can match."

Beyond the basics — active ingredients matter. Most over-the-counter moisturizers don't contain the ceramides, peptides, or actives your skin needs to maintain integrity over decades. What's in your products is as important as using them consistently.

Regular facials. Lasers. Neurotoxin. SPF every single day without exception. These aren't luxuries. They're maintenance.

And then there's what to avoid. Sugar, smoking, unprotected sun exposure, and alcohol all accelerate collagen breakdown. You don't have to eliminate everything — but moderation is real, and it shows up on your skin over time.

You don't have to cut it all out. Just don't do it every day.

Your skin is keeping score. The decisions you make now compound, for better or worse, over the next few decades.

Laser recovery just got more interesting. PDGF — Platelet-Derived Growth Factor — is a highly bioactive growth factor that stimulates fibroblasts, supports revascularization, and activates the skin's wound-healing response.

Research suggests it may be up to 300,000 times more potent than standard PRP formulations.

For Jenny, the recovery side of the equation is what makes it genuinely compelling.

"I'm excited for the future of what this can do for lasers and wound care."

After more significant laser resurfacing procedures, recovery time and prolonged redness are the primary patient concerns. PDGF has the potential to shorten that window. In Jenny's early clinical experience, she's observed notably faster epithelialization in the first 24 hours following treatment.

It's applied once in-clinic, and patients can continue using it at home throughout recovery — so the support doesn't stop when they leave.

We're watching this one closely.

"If you could fix one skin concern, what would it be?"

We asked. You answered, and under-eye hollowing came up more than almost anything else.

Here's what's actually happening. As the skin under your eyes thins over time, it casts a shadow. That shadow reads as hollowness and tiredness, regardless of how rested you are. It's a skin quality problem, not a concealer problem.

And filler isn't always the answer.

"A lot of people come in wanting under-eye filler, but not that many people are actually good candidates. It's a very finicky area. If the skin quality isn't there, filler is just never going to look good."
That's why Kacie sends many of her patients to Audrey for PRF.

PRF uses your own blood's growth factors, reinjected underneath the eyes to stimulate collagen and elastin production. The goal isn't volume. It's a more robust skin structure. Denser, more structured skin casts less shadow. Eyes look less hollow because the foundation actually changed.

Typically done in a series of three. And no, it doesn't sting.
"PRF does not have a sting to it. Which is incredible."

Meet Kacie Killough, our advanced aesthetic specialist & trainer — and a member of the Restora team for 15 years.

When she started here, her skin was a different story. Cystic acne. Tanning beds. Aggressive products that were stripping more than they were helping.

First, deep laser resurfacing, real recovery, and results Kacie says she'd choose again without hesitation.

"A million times over, I would do it again. It's one of the best things I did for my skin."

That was 11 years ago. Since then, she's maintained with annual lasers — BBL, Moxi, Halo — lower intensity than that first corrective year, but completely consistent.

"Now, anytime someone tells me I have great skin, I think back to that person — because I know where I started."

The people caring for your skin have skin stories of their own. That's not a coincidence, it's part of what makes this team different.

Fat loss in the hands and face isn't a skin concern, and it isn't always a structural one either. In areas where fat itself has thinned, the approach needs to match what's actually depleted.

Renuva is an acellular adipose matrix that may support the body's own regenerative response where fat has been lost over time. Because it works with your biology rather than around it, results develop over months — not days.

A consultation is where we figure out what's driving the hollowing and whether Renuva belongs in that plan.

"What's your go-to for bio-regenerative in 2026?"

PDRN — polynucleotide therapy derived from salmon DNA.

Delivered through mesotherapy or microneedling, PDRN may support collagen production, hyaluronic acid production, and skin regeneration at a cellular level.

What it may help with:
Fine lines, skin laxity, deep hydration, and antioxidative stress.

"If you're dealing with dull, tired skin — it's gonna help bring it back to life."

PDRN is gaining traction in regenerative aesthetics. It's not a quick fix. It's a biological signal that supports your skin's own healing processes over time.
