From Sculptra to Stem Cells: The Treatments We’re Trying Right Now + Susan Yara’s New-ish Brand, Playa
5/5/202632 min
This week, we’re getting into everything we’ve been doing in the name of beauty—treatments, tweaks, and… stem cells?!
Sara kicks things off with a full rundown of her recent visit to the new Things We Do location in West Hollywood, where she tried Sculptra, Skinvive, and PRFM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix). What is PRFM, how is it different from PRP, and why is everyone talking about it right now? Then, Kirbie shares her experience with a next-gen peel from Australian brand UltraCeuticals that she’s eager to see the results of.
And finally: we both took things to the next level with Acorn Bio Labs at Facile—yes, we did stem cell retrieval. We’re breaking down what it is, why we did it, and what this could mean for the future of beauty (more to come here…).
In news, we’re talking about Susan Yara’s new-ish brand launch: Playa. (Sound familiar? There's a reason.) What can we expect? We’re breaking it down.
