Happy Summer!

 

I swear it was just January… and yet, here we are. Anybody else feel me?

 

I usually think of summer as slower mornings and a lighter schedule, but that definitely hasn’t been our reality this year. We’ve been busier than ever, and honestly, I’m grateful for every minute of it.

 

Our team continues to grow, and every time I look around during our monthly meetings, I’m amazed by how many people are now in the room. Seriously… how did that happen?!

 

If you haven’t already, take a moment to introduce yourself to some of our newer team members. They’re truly wonderful.

One of the biggest reasons I’ve been so busy lately is something I’ve been dreaming about for a long time.

 

I’m so excited to finally share that N2 Skin is almost here!

 

This medical-grade skincare line is a curated collection of hero products I truly trust — with active ingredients backed by science and formulas I spent years wishing existed together in one simple routine.

 

What many people don’t know is that my relationship with my skin has been one of the bigger frustrations of my life.

 

As a little girl, I never tanned, only burned. I was covered in freckles, and kids made fun of me because of them. I remember watching Jan Brady try to erase her freckles with lemon juice and immediately trying it myself.

 

Needless to say…it didn’t work.

 

As a pre-teen, I developed severe perioral dermatitis. For years, I dealt with painful, itchy pustules around my nose and mouth, relying on oral tetracycline because it was the only thing that kept it under control.

 

Then came cystic acne. Not just pimples, but large, painful cysts that were so swollen they changed the shape of my face. I was also a compulsive picker, which left me with scars that took years to improve. Eventually, I spent a full year on Accutane just to get my breakouts under control.

 

For most of my life, my relationship with my skin was negative.

 

I hated it.

 

I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and wish you had someone else’s skin. I hid behind heavy foundation and never left the house without makeup on.

 

Thankfully, that isn’t my story anymore.

 

Ironically, when I first entered aesthetics, I wasn’t convinced skincare could make much of a difference. But as science evolved and I learned more about what truly drives inflammation, pigmentation, acne, and aging, my perspective completely changed.

 

Today, at almost 55, I can honestly say I’m proud of my skin. I feel confident walking out the door wearing nothing but sunscreen, and I truly believe that the right active ingredients, used consistently, can completely change your relationship with your skin.

 

N2 Skin was born from that belief.

My hope is that these products help you feel the same confidence in your skin that I finally found in mine.

 

Every product in this collection earned its place because it’s exactly what I want in my own routine. I can’t wait for you to experience them and tell me what you think.

 

The products will be arriving before the end of the month, and we’ll officially celebrate their launch during our next N2 Community Hour on August 27th. Our incredible esthetician, Jamilia, will be hosting an evening dedicated to acne education, skincare, and of course, introducing you to N2 Skin, with promotional event pricing.

 

You won’t want to miss it.

 

As always, thank you for being part of the N2 family. Thank you for your trust, your loyalty, and your continued support. I hope you enjoy every bit of this summer season, and I can’t wait to hear all about your adventures when I see you back in the treatment room!

N2’s Take

The Science Behind SkinVive

Big news for one of our favorite injectable treatments!

 

SkinVive by Juvéderm is now FDA-approved for neck skin smoothness and horizontal neck lines, making it the first and only hyaluronic acid injectable approved for the neck.

 

We already love SkinVive for facial skin quality, lip hydration, and as a subtle “line chaser” for fine lines that need hydration more than volume.

And now, we can confidently offer this treatment for the neck, too.

 

What makes SkinVive different is that it isn’t designed to build structure or change facial shape. It’s a microdroplet hyaluronic acid treatment placed within the skin to support skin quality by improving hydration from within.

 

Recent clinical research on VYC-12L - the hyaluronic acid injectable used in SkinVive - helps explain why.

Treatment has been shown to support hydration for up to 9 months, with improvements in skin quality markers including hydration, firmness, and elasticity.

 

The study also showed changes in AQP3, a protein involved in water transport within the skin. In other words, SkinVive doesn’t just add hyaluronic acid beneath the surface. It helps support the way the skin holds and moves hydration at a cellular level.

Featured Treatment

SkinVive for Summer Skin

7f10f481-1f2d-4165-be87-200d8383d6b1.png

With the science in mind, SkinVive felt like the natural choice for our featured treatment this month.

 

Because summer skin should feel fresh, hydrated, and healthy - not heavy, overfilled, or overdone.

 

SkinVive gives us a beautiful way to improve the look of skin quality while keeping your natural movement and expression completely intact.

It’s especially helpful in areas where the skin looks dry, crepey, etched, or less smooth than it used to, including the cheeks, lips, fine lines around the mouth, and now, the neck.

 

We also love pairing SkinVive with MOXI for patients who want to resurface and rehydrate the skin in one thoughtful treatment plan.

CASE BY CASE

What SkinVive Looks Like in Real Life

This is the kind of result we love: refreshed skin that still looks like you.

 

In these before & afters, notice the softening of fine lines, the smoother surface quality, and the hydrated finish. Especially in delicate areas where texture can be hard to improve without overcorrecting.

 

The result is quiet, but impactful. And that’s the goal!

In the Spotlight - Nicola Featured on The Health Exchange Podcast with Dr. Rutland

Nicola recently joined Dr. Rutland's podcast for a fascinating conversation on aesthetic medicine. The episode explores why expertise matters more than ever in aesthetics.

 

Nicola also shares her path from emergency medicine to becoming a nationally recognized injector and educator, addresses common misconceptions about Botox and fillers, and tells the powerful story of saving her husband's life after his sudden cardiac arrest, a testament to the training and clinical experience that continue to shape the care she provides every day.

 

It’s fun, it’s personal, and it reminds us why we all choose to be treated in a clinic under her leadership.
