Dr. Roy Kim breaks down the most effective options for eliminating double chins and explains why certain treatments work better for different anatomical situations. This comprehensive guide helps you understand which procedure—Kybella, CoolSculpting, liposuction, or a neck lift—will give you the best results without wasting your time or money.

• Double chins can be caused by superficial fat or deeper fat under the platysma muscle
• Neck lifts are necessary when fat is under the platysma muscle or when skin is loose
• Kybella works well for small, well-defined fat deposits but causes swelling and can get expensive
• CoolSculpting freezes fat cells but may produce uneven results and carries risk of paradoxical fat growth
• Liposuction remains the gold standard for double chin treatment with faster results and less swelling
• Treatment choice depends on your specific anatomy and the amount of fat present

Rejuran, a revolutionary treatment derived from salmon DNA, is transforming aesthetic medicine with its unique regenerative properties that go beyond traditional fillers. This polynucleotide-based treatment reactivates the skin's natural healing processes, offering advantages that conventional procedures simply cannot match.

• Not your typical filler - Rejuran is a regenerative agent derived from salmon sperm DNA
• Currently available in Korea, Singapore, parts of Europe, and Australia, but not yet in the US
• Stimulates fibroblast activity to boost collagen production naturally
• Encourages angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) for improved circulation
• Provides anti-ischemic properties that help skin retain oxygen
• Offers UVB protection as an added benefit (though sunscreen is still necessary)
• Originally developed for medical wound healing with proven clinical results
• Can be applied in concentrated form for wrinkles or diluted for overall skin texture improvement
• Typically requires 3-6 treatments, spaced about four weeks apart
• Provides more comprehensive benefits than either traditional HA fillers or biostimulatory agents

If you have questions about Rejuran or want to learn more about other aesthetic treatments, feel free to reach out to my office. Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to like and subscribe for more updates from the world of aesthetics.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies and serves as the structural foundation for youthful skin, though we naturally lose about 1% annually after age 25. The loss accelerates as we age, affected by factors like UV exposure, smoking, and high-sugar diets, but we can combat this through proper nutrition and lifestyle changes.

• Collagen makes up 30% of the protein in our bodies and gives skin its firmness and elasticity
• UV rays from the sun are a major culprit in breaking down collagen fibers
• Smoking, high-sugar diets, stress, and recreational drugs accelerate collagen loss
• Protein-rich foods like salmon, egg whites, and beans help naturally produce collagen
• Vitamin C from citrus fruits and leafy greens stimulates collagen production
• Hydration and regular exercise increase blood flow and nutrient delivery to skin
• Quality sleep reduces oxidative stress and promotes skin cell repair
• Medical treatments like tretinoin, microneedling, chemical peels, and PRP boost collagen
• Advanced options include CO2 lasers, Skinvive injections, and nanofat treatments

If you're interested in any of these treatments or want to learn more, feel free to contact my office. Subscribe and check out my other content for more ways to boost your skin's collagen.

The disconnect between patient expectations and surgical realities of cleavage in breast augmentation can lead to confusion and disappointment. Dr. Roy Kim explains the difference between the close-together look patients desire and the medically appropriate intermammary distance surgeons aim for.

• Surgeons measure "intermammary distance" and aim for about 2cm of space between breasts
• Breasts that naturally touch (symmastia) is considered a complication, not an ideal result
• Your natural anatomy, especially rib cage width, significantly impacts what's possible
• Implant profile choice affects how full the upper breast appears
• Fat grafting can help create smoother transitions and bring breasts closer together
• Supportive garments (bras, structured clothing) dramatically change cleavage appearance
• Bring inspiration photos to consultations to communicate your goals clearly
• The "perfect cleavage" seen in media often relies on supportive garments, posing, and editing

Do your homework, bring inspiration photos, be honest about your clothing habits, trust your surgeon's expertise, and ask questions until you feel confident in your understanding of what's possible for your body.

The future of skin rejuvenation may not be fillers or lasers, but exosomes—microscopic messengers naturally produced by your body that repair and rejuvenate skin from within. Dr. Roy Kim explains how these tiny biological bubbles deliver targeted regenerative benefits that work with your body's own processes for natural-looking, longer-lasting results.

• Exosomes are tiny bubbles released by cells containing essential tools for regeneration
• Unlike whole stem cells, exosomes provide only the necessary growth factors
• Treatment combines microneedling with topical exosome serums
• Results timeline: improved hydration by week 2, diminished fine lines by week 6, up to 60% increased skin thickness by week 12
• Benefits include skin rejuvenation, improved scar appearance, reduced hyperpigmentation
• Hair restoration applications show up to 30% increased hair density after four treatments
• Currently classified as cosmetic products in the US, only approved for topical use
• No "done" appearance because treatments work with your body's natural biology

If you're ready to explore exosomes as an optional add-on for skin therapy, injectable therapy, microneedling and so forth, please contact my office and we'll schedule a consultation. Share your thoughts or questions about regenerative treatments in the comments below.
