Regenerative Aesthetics: A New Chapter at Luminate
By Dr. Erin Lucie, DNP
After more than 20 years in aesthetics — from lasers and injectables to the most cutting-edge skin technologies — I’ve seen trends come and go. Some are pure marketing fluff. Some have real staying power. But every once in a while, something comes along that changes how we think about aging, skin health, and even how our bodies function on a cellular level.
That “something” is regeneration.
At Luminate, we’ve never been about quick fixes. My team and I have always believed in intelligent, evidence-based care that not only helps you look better but also helps your skin and body function better. And now, we’re stepping fully into a new category that blends skin health, wellness, and longevity in a way I’ve been dreaming about for years: Regenerative Skin & Wellness.
This approach is all about:
✔ Supporting your skin’s natural healing capacity
✔ Addressing aging where it starts — in the cells
✔ Replenishing the systems that keep you feeling vibrant
Here’s what’s new in our regenerative lineup — and why I’m so excited about it.
✴︎ Provoque Facial Serum
Regeneration without the blood draw.
I’ve worked with PRP, exosomes, and all kinds of growth factors — but Provoque is the first topical I’ve used that actually mimics the skin’s own regenerative signals in a big way. It’s loaded with biomimetic peptides and growth factor analogs that help firm, brighten, and strengthen your skin — with or without an in-office treatment.
We’re seeing amazing results when we pair Provoque with Scarlet RF Microneedling, PicoSure Pro laser, or even post-chemical peel. But I also send patients home with it for daily use — especially if they have acne-prone, aging, or compromised skin. It’s elegant, fast-absorbing, and biologically smart.
✴︎ SkinBetter Science BioRewind
Because aging isn’t just skin-deep — it’s cellular.
BioRewind targets something called cellular senescence — the “zombie” cells that stop dividing but hang around sending out inflammatory signals that age the tissue around them. By interrupting that process, BioRewind helps your skin cells act younger — improving elasticity, hydration, and resilience.
It’s not just hype — it’s rooted in Nobel Prize-winning science. And when I’ve tested it myself, I’ve seen and felt the difference.
✴︎ Nuchido Time+
Cellular wellness, from the inside out.
I’m picky about supplements, but I was blown away by the research behind NAD+ and how it fuels energy production, DNA repair, and skin health. NAD+ declines as we age — and stress, poor sleep, and environmental toxins speed that up. Nuchido Time+ works by turning your body’s own NAD+ production back on, supporting clearer skin, faster recovery after treatments, and more consistent energy.
This is one of my favorite “inside-out” anti-aging tools, especially when paired with our in-office regenerative treatments.
✴︎ GlycanAge Testing
Measure your biological age — not just the candles on your cake.
Here’s the thing: your chronological age (how many birthdays you’ve had) is not the same as your biological age (how well your body is actually functioning). GlycanAge testing looks at specific sugar molecules on your immune cells to give you a real, science-based measure of your body’s aging process.
Why is this important for skin and wellness? Because it tells us where you truly are on the aging spectrum and how effective your treatments and lifestyle changes are over time. We can re-test every 6–12 months to track progress and make sure what we’re doing — whether it’s regenerative skincare, wellness protocols, or lifestyle changes — is actually reversing your biological age.
It’s one of the most motivating tools I’ve ever used with patients because you see the science of your progress, not just the mirror.
Why Regeneration Matters at Luminate
This shift isn’t about chasing the next beauty trend — it’s about treating aging as the biological process it really is. Regenerative medicine lets us:
- Extend and enhance the results of in-office treatments
- Reduce inflammation and speed recovery
- Offer meaningful, long-term improvements in skin health
- Address vitality from both the inside and outside
Whether you’re trying to smooth wrinkles, fade acne scars, restore elasticity, or simply feel more energized, regenerative aesthetics gives us tools to create real change — not just a temporary fix.
This is the future of aesthetics, and I couldn’t be more excited to bring it to you first.
If you’re ready to find out your GlycanAge and explore what regeneration can do for your skin and your wellness, my team and I are here to guide you every step of the way.
