Nicola's Note
Happy August! As you’re reading this, my family and I are somewhere between London and Portugal, enjoying our last summer adventure before my oldest heads off to college.
It’s hard to believe this chapter is already here. I’m trying to soak up every moment, knowing how quickly these seasons of life pass.
This trip is special for another reason, too.
While in London, I’ll be meeting with a university to discuss the next steps toward earning a PhD by Research based on the clinical work I’ve dedicated so much of my time to.
Starting N2 at 50 taught me that it’s never too late to dream bigger.
A business at 50. Starting a PhD at 55…why not?!?
Back home, we’re also preparing for our busiest - and favorite - time of year. Our fall calendar at the N2 Training Center is filled with ultrasound and anatomy courses, along with incredible guest educators from around the world.
One of my greatest joys has been watching members of our own team step into teaching roles alongside me. I’m so proud of the center of excellence we’ve created, not only for N2, but for our specialty as a whole.
And finally…
I’ve used these products exclusively throughout the development process, and I genuinely love them. I cannot wait for you to experience the collection for yourselves.
You can learn more about each product below and make plans to join us for our upcoming Community Hour launch celebration.
Thank you, as always, for letting us be part of your lives and trusting us with your care.
Enjoy the last bit of your summer, and I’ll see you soon!
With gratitude,
—Nicola
N2’s Take
Why We Believe in Regeneration That Starts With YOU
There are so many “regenerative” options in aesthetics right now.
Donor exosomes, plant-based growth factors, amniotic fluid products, salmon sperm-derived products, PRP, PRF, and more.
But they’re not all created the same way, and the source matters.
Most FDA-approved products marketed for topical use are not approved for injection, so please be careful, ask questions, and understand exactly what’s being used for your treatment.
We’ve seen some horrible complications when these products are not used as intended.
One of the reasons we feel so strongly about our partnership with Acorn Biolabs is that its powerful secretome is derived from your own autologous cells.
Your body recognizes you.
That distinction matters. The safety profile cannot be compared, as nothing is safer than you.
Hair follicles are an incredibly rich source of regenerative potential, and unlike PRP or PRF, your personalized secretome can be created without returning for multiple blood draws.
We were fortunate to be part of Acorn’s early clinical research and saw firsthand how powerful the results could be.
During treatment, the secretome is used as the glide for microneedling, allowing it to be worked into the skin throughout the procedure. It is also used as a take-home product to support healing.
In the study, patients reported improvements in wrinkles, skin laxity, texture, radiance, and overall skin quality, with outcomes followed for up to one year. No treatment-related adverse events were reported.
Microneedling with your personalized secretome may be used to support:
​
-
Fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture
-
Acne or surgical scars
-
Thinning hair and scalp health
Featured Treatment

CASE BY CASE
Eleven Years of Aging Well, Together
These patient-reported selfies were taken 11 years apart.
2015 → 2026
Age 28 → Age 39
Before we met → After nearly 5 years of consistent care at N2
Anti-aging and beautification are not achieved with one modality or a single session.
It’s a consistent journey that becomes part of a lifestyle.
There is no single treatment that delivers this type of result.
What we offer every patient is the opportunity to grab our hands and age well together over the years.
It comes down to trust. We’re never going to upsell you for profit.
We will often say “no” to your requests for treatments you don’t need. And we will always give you our best recommendations for what will serve you long term.
These results are a collective effort from the entire team. And the 100% trust this patient placed in us to take good care of her.

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.
