THE N2 EDIT
Your monthly edit of evidence-based beauty, trusted expertise, and natural results—delivered by N2 Aesthetics.
June 2026
Nicola’s Note
We made it! Summer is here.
School is getting out, the days are longer, the fruit is sweeter, and family vacations are just around the corner.
Every season has its own kind of magic. For us, that magic has been opening the doors to N2 Malibu.
The welcome we’ve received from the Malibu community has been incredible and reaffirming of what we’ve always believed - that there are patients who value safety, natural outcomes, advanced treatment approaches, and the science behind their treatment decisions.
At N2, we have never been interested in following trends. We are committed to continually raising the standard of care in aesthetic medicine.
Which brings me to an important announcement.
While ultrasound has long been part of our practice, beginning this month ultrasound diagnostics will be incorporated into every filler appointment across all providers and treatment areas.
This allows us to evaluate your unique anatomy in real time, assess previous filler placement when present, and approach treatment with a level of precision, safety, and predictability that simply isn’t possible otherwise.
As a result, our filler pricing structure will evolve. Rather than pricing filler treatments strictly by the syringe, pricing will now be based on the treatment area and desired outcome.
Ultrasound diagnostics are not being added as a separate fee. They are now an integrated part of every filler treatment and a standard we believe every patient deserves.
While the structure of our pricing is evolving, the most meaningful change is the added value within every filler treatment: advanced ultrasound diagnostics, enhanced treatment planning, and an elevated standard of care.
We believe aesthetic medicine should focus on achieving balanced, harmonious outcomes - not on counting syringes. By combining advanced diagnostics with results-based treatment planning, we are able to deliver a higher level of care while staying true to the principles that have always defined N2.
As always, thank you for trusting us with your care and allowing us to do the work we love.
—Nicola
Featured Treatment
Advanced Microneedling with the Power of YOU
YOU™ Secretome: Unlike traditional growth factor products, YOU™ is created from your own preserved cells.
Microneedling remains one of the foundational skin treatments we return to again and again at N2, and for good reason.
Medical-grade microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering a wound-healing response that supports collagen, elastin, and overall skin renewal.
In simpler terms, it helps your skin function better.
Microneedling can improve tone, texture, fine lines, pore size, acne scarring, surgical scarring, and overall skin quality.
It doesn’t use heat, so it’s also safe for all skin types, including patients who struggle with melasma, and can be performed in the summer.
One of the most advanced ways we can now elevate results is by pairing microneedling with your own Secretome through Acorn BioLabs.
By delivering your own autologous exosomes and growth factors into the skin through these microchannels, we can support collagen production, reduce healing time, and boost regenerative results in a highly personalized way.
One of the reasons we love this option is the safety profile!
Your Secretome is not derived from a plant, salmon DNA, or donor tissue. It comes from you, which means your body recognizes it as its own and knows how to use it.
The result is healthier, stronger, more refined skin powered by your own biology.
CASE BY CASE
A Regenerative Boost for Skin Repair
These before & afters show what we love about pairing microneedling with Acorn BioLabs’ Secretome: healthier, smoother, more refined skin without changing the natural character of the face.
By using the patient’s own autologous growth factors and exosomes, this treatment helps support repair from within — improving the look of texture, scarring, pore size, fine lines, and overall skin quality.
If you’re considering regenerative microneedling, this month is a great time to begin.

PRODUCT PICK
Triple Cleanse for Clear Summer Skin
Between SPF, sweat, makeup, oil, and warmer weather, buildup can happen quickly. Which leads to congestion, dullness, and annoying breakouts.

The Summer Triple Cleanse includes:
Pre-Cleansing Oil
To melt away sunscreen, makeup, excess oil, and surface buildup.
Clay Masque
To help purify pores and absorb congestion without disrupting the skin barrier.
Low Foam Cleansing Gel
