If you have been working out consistently, eating well, and still can't shift a stubborn pocket of fat around your abdomen, flanks, or thighs, you are not alone, and you are not doing anything wrong.

At LuminaSkin Med Spa, our team has spent nearly two decades helping Bay Area patients feel more confident in their own skin, an

Yes, salmon DNA is a real thing in skincare. And yes, I know the name raises questions. At LuminaSkin, I am very intentional about what I pair with treatments. I do not add something just because it is trending. I want to know what it does, why we are using it, and whether it actually makes sense for your skin. That is why, for certain patients, I like pairing Clear + Brilliant with a professional topical polynucleotide product — better known on social media as “salmon DNA.”

At LuminaSkin, I am very intentional about the skincare products we offer our patients. A product has to do more than sound innovative or look beautiful on a shelf. I want to know that it complements the treatments we perform, supports long-term skin health, and has a meaningful role in a patient’s overall treatment plan. That is why I chose to bring two Pavise products to LuminaSkin: Dynamic Age Defense, for daily protection, and Extracellular Matrix Restore, for advanced po

Let’s be real, being a teen isn’t easy. Between school pressure, extracurriculars, social life, and all the internal changes happening behind the scenes, it’s no surprise that skin often joins the chaos. Acne, excess oil, redness, dryness, and uneven skin tone are incredibly common during adolescence and you’re not alone in dealing with it. At Luminaskin Broadway Burlingame, we specialize in helping teens navigate acne with confidence, education, and real solutions. We belie

Glutathione, though technically a tripeptide, is one of the most powerful and widely studied. Often called the body’s “master antioxidant,” glutathione helps protect cells, detoxify the body, and maintain a radiant, youthful glow. With age, stress, and environmental toxins, natural levels decline
