Curating effortless beauty + results-driven aesthetics. Columbia, Pawley’s Island
Face | Skin | Body
Heading to the game? Planning to be on the boat? Either way, here are three things to remember.
01 · Skip the harsh exfoliation today.
This includes retinols, peels, and dermaplane. Anything that resurfaces leaves skin extra sun sensitive. Keep tonight simple. Hydrating before bed.
02 · Reapply your SPF.
Morning sunscreen is a given (don’t forget it!). But don’t forget to reapply it throughout the day.
TIP: Keep the Medi Pair Exo-Fit cushion in your bag for this. It goes right over makeup.
Get your ears and your hairline while you’re at it. Those are the two spots nobody thinks about and the two we see the damage on years later.
And wear a hat. 😉
03 · Wash it all off that night.
Sunscreen, sweat, and a full day of sun leave skin worn out, which is why it feels tight and looks flat the next morning. A real cleanse, then moisturize before you sleep.

GLP-1s, done differently.
The medication is one part of a plan built around you.
Before anything is prescribed, we look at where you are starting.
This includes:
• Your labs.
• Your history, lifestyle, and goals.
• Your body composition.
That baseline is why your protocol looks nothing like the next person’s.
🌿 From there we watch more than the scale. We track the muscle you are keeping and the visceral fat you are losing, because that is what tells us this is working.
Nutrition that keeps up with what your body needs. Movement that fits the life you actually live. A team that adjusts the plan as your body responds.
Success here is measured and thoughtful, not anonymous and random.
•
Your health isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your plan shouldn’t be either.

Aging isn’t just about fine lines + wrinkles.
Over time, and often faster after weight loss, the face can lose volume. That volume is what gave us softness and lift.
Natural volume comes from restoring what time quietly took, gradually and in the right places.
That’s why we lean into Sculptra, which works with your own collagen to restore volume gradually. Alongside it, SkinVive brings back the glow that makes skin look genuinely hydrated and plump.
