Best Treatments for Skin
Treatments for skin health, rejuvenation, and anti-aging. From red light therapy to peptides, scored on dermatological evidence.
Retinoid Therapy
Topical Retinoid / Tretinoin Anti-Aging Protocol
Gold standard topical anti-aging treatment using vitamin A derivatives (tretinoin, retinol, adapalene). Increases cell turnover, stimulates collagen production, and treats acne, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. 40+ years of research support.
Red Light Therapy
Photobiomodulation (Red/NIR Light)
Low-level light therapy using red (630-670nm) and near-infrared (810-850nm) wavelengths to improve mitochondrial function, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue healing.
Collagen Peptides
Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides
Hydrolyzed collagen protein that supports skin elasticity, joint health, bone density, and gut lining integrity. Bryan Johnson takes 12.5g daily. The most abundant protein in the body, declining significantly after age 25.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy
An autologous blood-derived treatment where concentrated platelets and growth factors are injected to accelerate tissue healing, reduce joint pain, restore hair growth, and rejuvenate skin. One of the most widely adopted regenerative treatments globally.
LED Light Therapy (Skin)
LED Phototherapy for Skin
Different wavelengths of LED light target specific skin concerns: red light (630-660nm) for collagen and wrinkles, blue light (415nm) for acne bacteria, NIR (830nm) for deep tissue healing. Available as professional treatments and at-home devices.
GHK-Cu
Copper Peptide GHK-Cu
A naturally occurring copper peptide with remarkable anti-aging, hair growth, and skin rejuvenation properties. Known for reversing grey hair and improving skin elasticity.
Rapamycin
Rapamycin (Sirolimus) for Longevity
An mTOR inhibitor originally used in organ transplant patients, now emerging as the most evidence-backed pharmacological longevity intervention. The landmark Harrison 2009 study showed lifespan extension in mice, and the PEARL trial (2025) confirmed safety in healthy adults at longevity doses.
Microneedling
Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)
Creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles, triggering a wound-healing cascade that produces new collagen and elastin. Effective for acne scars, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin rejuvenation. Can be combined with PRP ('vampire facial').
Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin (Carotenoid Antioxidant)
A potent carotenoid antioxidant derived from microalgae. 6000x stronger than vitamin C as an antioxidant. Supports skin, eye, and cardiovascular health.
Laser Resurfacing
Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing (CO2 / Erbium)
Fractional laser treatment that creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen remodeling and cellular turnover. Used for wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and overall skin rejuvenation. CO2 and Erbium are the most common laser types.
Chemical Peels
Controlled chemical exfoliation using acids (glycolic, salicylic, TCA, phenol) to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate renewal. Treats hyperpigmentation, acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture.
IPL Photofacial
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photorejuvenation
Broad-spectrum light therapy targeting melanin and hemoglobin to treat sun damage, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, broken capillaries, and uneven skin tone. Non-ablative with minimal downtime compared to laser treatments.
RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency Microneedling (Morpheus8)
Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivery at adjustable depths. Morpheus8 is the most popular device. More effective than standard microneedling for skin tightening, body contouring, and deep scar remodeling.
Steam Therapy
Steam Therapy / Banya / Hammam
Traditional steam bathing encompassing hammam, banya, and modern steam rooms. Deeply rooted in Middle Eastern and UAE culture, steam therapy delivers moist heat at 40-50°C with near 100% humidity to promote cardiovascular conditioning, respiratory clearance, and skin detoxification. Evidence from Finnish sauna studies broadly supports heat therapy benefits, with growing interest in the specific advantages of steam over dry heat.
Glutathione IV
Intravenous Glutathione Therapy
Intravenous infusion of glutathione, the body's master antioxidant, for detoxification support, skin brightening, and oxidative stress reduction. Popular in wellness clinics globally, especially in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Exosome Therapy
Mesenchymal Stem Cell Exosome Therapy
Cell-free regenerative treatment using exosomes (nano-vesicles) derived from mesenchymal stem cells. Contains growth factors and miRNAs that promote tissue repair. Exciting preclinical science but limited clinical validation.
