Aging gracefully has nothing to do with pretending to be 25 forever. It is about looking rested, bright, and confident at every age, while still feeling like yourself when you look in the mirror.
At Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology (RAD) in Laguna Hills, CA, the focus is on subtle refinement, not drastic change. The goal is skin that looks healthy, supported, and naturally refreshed. Your plan is guided by a world-class, Board Certified Dermatologist who understands the science of skin aging in detail and designs every recommendation with your long-term results in mind.
When medical expertise shapes your routine, you are not guessing with your skin. You are following a strategy that respects how your skin actually functions and how it changes over time.
The Power Of Maintenance
Think about how you care for a car. Skipping oil changes, cleanings, or regular checks eventually shows. Skin behaves in a similar way. Consistent maintenance helps keep collagen production active, tone more even, and texture smoother.
Instead of waiting for concerns to become severe, RAD builds plans that keep your skin supported year-round. Treatments such as Multi-Frequency RF with Xerf, RF microneedling with Scarlet SRF, laser resurfacing with NouvaDerm, and regenerative injectables like Sculptra, Radiesse, and Cellenis Derma PRP act like a skilled pit crew for your skin. They encourage repair, stimulate new collagen, and maintain structure before bigger issues appear.
Prevention is usually easier than correction. Small, strategic treatments now often mean less aggressive intervention later, which can translate to smoother aging and more predictable results.
The Five Ways We Age
Aging is never just one problem, which is why a single treatment on its own rarely addresses everything. RAD looks at the main categories of facial aging and builds a plan that speaks to each one.
1. Volume Loss
Over time, we lose volume in the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area as fat pads thin and collagen declines. This can lead to a tired or hollow look even when you feel fine. Biostimulators and regenerative fillers such as Sculptra, Radiesse, and PRP-based options restore soft structure, not balloon-like fullness. While judicious precise use of Premium HA fillers like Restylane can address localized volume loss. The aim is a gentle lift and contour that still moves with your expression.
2. Skin Laxity
Collagen and elastin production slow with age, and gravity becomes more noticeable. Energy-based treatments like Multi-Frequency RF skin tightening with Xerf, Scarlet SRF radiofrequency microneedling, V Soft PDO threads, and Nitrogen Plasma with PlaDuo Pro help firm and tighten, improving jawline definition and the appearance of sagging. These treatments encourage your body to rebuild support from within, rather than simply pulling skin tight.
3. Texture Changes
Sun exposure, slower cell turnover, and dehydration can cause roughness, enlarged pores, and a dull surface. Fractional laser resurfacing with NouvaDerm and targeted exfoliating treatments, such as PRX, refresh the outer layers of skin. They smooth texture, soften fine lines, and help light reflect more evenly for that “baby skin” effect many people are seeking.
4. Tone And Pigmentation
Years of California sunshine, plus a few missed SPF days, can leave behind brown spots, redness, blotchiness, and broken capillaries. NouvaDerm laser treatments, Photofacials or IPL sessions, and medical-grade brightening products like PRX Plus, SkinBetter Alto Advanced or Mystro Balance, and Alastin A-luminate focus on creating a more even tone. The goal is a clear, calm canvas rather than layers of makeup to cover discoloration.
5. Dynamic Wrinkles
Expression lines from frowning, smiling, or squinting eventually etch into the skin. Neuromodulators such as Dysport or Xeomin soften movement in precise areas so lines are less visible while you still look like yourself. The intention is a rested appearance, not a frozen one.
When all of these areas are considered together, results look balanced and believable. Friends may notice that you look refreshed or well rested, but they should not be able to pinpoint exactly what changed.
Medical Grade Skincare That Works For You
What sits on your bathroom counter matters just as much as what happens in the treatment room. Many people collect products based on trends or social media, then feel frustrated when results are underwhelming.
Medical grade skincare is different because the formulas are designed to penetrate effectively and create visible changes in the skin. At RAD, recommendations might include:
- Antioxidants such as SkinBetter Alto Advanced, SkinBetter Mystro Balance, and ISDIN Eryfotona Ageless to help defend against free radical damage from pollution and UV exposure.
- Peptide rich formulas like Defenage 8 in 1 BioSerum and Alastin Restorative Complex to support collagen and elasticity.
- Retinoid based products including SkinBetter AlphaRhet Overnight Cream and ISDIN Melatonix to encourage healthier cell turnover and smoother texture.
These products extend the benefits of in office treatments and keep your results more stable between visits. Instead of guessing, you have a plan that fits your skin type, your goals, and your lifestyle.
Why A Natural Look Still Takes Work
A natural appearance does not mean doing nothing. It means choosing treatments that respect your features and your facial proportions. At RAD, the aesthetic goal is for you to look refreshed, not altered.
Regenerative dermatology focuses on supporting the skin’s own systems rather than only masking signs of aging. Layered improvements over time allow your results to evolve gradually. This approach lowers the risk of an overdone look and creates changes that blend with your face as it matures.
Many patients appreciate that friends simply comment that they look well rested, brighter, or more confident, without assuming they have had a specific procedure.

Aging will always continue, but you have real control over how your skin moves through that process. Regular maintenance visits, thoughtfully chosen treatments, and a consistent, science-based home routine can keep your skin luminous and resilient for years.
