THE N2 EDIT
Your monthly edit of evidence-based beauty, trusted expertise, and natural results—delivered by N2 Aesthetics.
December 2025
December tends to move quickly around here—full calendars, last-minute appointments, and a lot of you trying to squeeze in a moment of self-care before the year turns. It’s a busy season, but a special one, and we’re grateful to be part of your end-of-year routines.
I’m also excited to share something we’ve been working on behind the scenes:
N2 Aesthetics is opening a second location in Malibu in early 2026.
Located just near Pepperdine in Malibu Colony, the new space will feel like a boutique extension of our Manhattan Beach clinic, with a classic Mediterranean aesthetic and a calm, welcoming atmosphere.
To support this expansion, we’re currently hiring a Clinic Manager to oversee reception and on-site operations. We’re looking for someone with strong leadership/management skills, warmth, and ideally a background in aesthetics.
If this sounds like you (or someone you know) please email our Corporate Manager, Elizabeth Duffy, at elizabeth@n2aesthetics.com or learn more and apply here. We’d love to meet you.
Wishing you a joyful and restorative holiday season,
Nicola
N2’s Take
Why Combining Sofwave + Hyperdilute Radiesse Can Deliver 30% More Collagen
A recent clinical commentary analyzed how pairing multiple collagen-stimulating modalities, specifically microfocused ultrasound (HiFu/Sofwave-type energy) with soft tissue biostimulators like hyperdilute Radiesse, produces significantly greater collagen formation than either treatment alone.
The takeaway?
-
Energy treats the deeper layers.
-
Radiesse stimulates the superficial layers.
-
Together, they generate a stronger, more organized collagen response with improvements in elasticity and a threefold increase in skin thickness.
This dual-modality approach mirrors what we already practice at N2:
staged, layered treatments that elevate results, especially for the neck and lower face. (It’s also a great example of our evidence-based philosophy, not gimmicky or trend-driven techniques!)
See the real patient example in Case by Case below.
Introducing the New N2 Wellness Programs
GLP-1 and IV Therapy
We’re so excited to be rolling out a new wellness category led by Josh Tarpley, M.D., a board-certified Family Medicine physician.
GLP-1 - (Informational Consults Now Open)
This month, we’re opening informational consultations with Dr. Tarpley for clients interested in GLP-1–based metabolic support. These consults are designed to answer questions, review your health history, and determine whether one of our upcoming programs is a good fit for you.
-
December Promotion: Consultations are $150, and if you choose to move forward with a program in January, that fee will be credited toward your enrollment, making the consultation free.
Full GLP-1 medication initiation and treatment pathways will officially launch in January.
Programs will include two physician-developed options using Dr. Tarpley’s tirzepatide–glycine protocol for metabolic support, sustained weight loss, and increased vitality:
-
Microdosing Experience — gentle, supportive entry point
-
Transformation Experience — full, structured program with labs, nutritional/supplement support, and InBody® scans
IV Therapy and Peptide & Vitamin Injections
Coming January 2026
Designed to support hydration, immunity, recovery, and overall vitality—perfect for clients looking to feel clearer, more energized, and supported from the inside out.
Full IV Therapy services will officially launch in January, but early bookings are available now.

CASE BY CASE
Real results using the Sofwave + Hyperdilute Radiesse combination.
A Transformation Nine Months in the Making
These progress photos show how thoughtfully layered treatments can create surgical-level improvement without surgery. This patient’s plan included:
✓ Sofwave to the face + neck
✓ Hyperdilute Radiesse to the neck
✓ Strategic filler placement
✓ Botox + SkinVive for refinement
Visible Results: a tighter neckline, smoother texture, and improved lower-face contour—thanks to the powerful synergy of collagen stimulation and subtle structural support.

Last month we delved into the science of Hyperdilute Radiesse (HDR) + Sofwave and explained how it delivers such impressive results for the face and neck. This month we’re shifting our focus with this treatment to the body, just in time for those bare midriff moments.
Choose your preferred treatment:
1) Opt for the combo of HDR +Sofwave for the most effective treatment for crepey skin and laxity of the lower abdomen. Scientific studies have shown a 30% increase in collagen production when combining these two fantastic modalities. This is your best bet for a tighter, trimmer tummy by mid summer!
2) Alternatively, we are also offering individual packages of either Sofwave or HDR for your stomach. We’re here to assist you in selecting the best treatment for your individual needs.
