What’s New in Skincare: From K-Beauty to Salmon DNA

🌸 What is K-Beauty? 

K-Beauty—short for Korean Beauty—is more than just a skincare trend. It’s a philosophy that redefined how we care for our skin worldwide. Bursting onto the scene in the 2010s, K-Beauty continues to inspire a new generation of treatments focused on prevention, hydration, and healthy skin from the inside out. 

Key hallmarks of K-Beauty: 

• Multi-step routines: The iconic 10-step process—double cleansing, exfoliating, toners, essences, serums, sheet masks, moisturizers, and sunscreen. 

• Prevention & hydration: Protecting the skin barrier and preventing damage before it starts. 

• Innovative ingredients: Snail mucin, bee venom, fermented extracts, and ginseng—all Korean breakthroughs. 

• Gentle formulations: Designed for sensitive skin, prioritizing soothing and layering hydration. 

• Cultural influence: “Glass skin”—that clear, luminous, dewy glow—originated from K-Beauty ideals. 

At Trevi Longevity & Aesthetics Institute, we’re proud to bring these principles to life—right here in Highland Park—with cutting-edge technologies and medical-grade artistry. 

🔹 Ulkin & Ultight: Gentle Ultrasound Innovation 

Remember the treatments we unveiled at last year’s Open House? Our Ulkin and Ultight systems remain some of the most sought-after, patient-loved technologies imported directly from South Korea. 

• Ultight: Uses Micro-Focused Ultrasound (MFU) to lift and tighten the skin without pain, anesthesia, or downtime. It stimulates collagen deep in the dermis, creating both an immediate lift and long-term rejuvenation. 

• Ulkin: Uses Dual Ultrasound Micro Massage at multiple frequencies to enhance elasticity, hydration, and nutrient absorption—awakening skin cells and improving resilience. 

Together, Ulkin + Ultight deliver smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin. 

🔹 Coming to This Year’s Open House: KryoGlow™ Featuring TargetCool™ 

Experience KryoGlow™, our next-generation cryo facial that instantly cools, tightens, and revitalizes the skin—leaving you with a radiant, healthy glow. 

How It Works: 
KryoGlow™ uses precision cooling technology to deliver controlled bursts of cold to the skin’s surface. This stimulates circulation, boosts collagen production, and reduces puffiness and inflammation—revealing firmer, brighter, more refreshed skin. 

At Trevi Longevity & Aesthetics Institute, each KryoGlow™ session is fully customized and can be enhanced with Kardie boosters to infuse powerful nutrients, peptides, or antioxidants. 

What KryoGlow™ Treats: 

• Dull, tired-looking skin 

• Puffiness or swelling 

• Loss of firmness or elasticity 

• Uneven tone or redness 

• Chapped or dehydrated lips 

Why Patients Love It: 

• ✨ Instant results—skin looks more lifted, toned, and radiant 

• 💆‍♀️ No needles, no downtime—completely non-invasive 

• ⚡ Customizable—combine with facials, microneedling, peels, or post-laser care 

• 💋 Needle-free lip plumping—when paired with our fine line filler serum 

Key Benefits: 

• Tightens and firms through natural vasoconstriction 

• Brightens and refreshes by boosting oxygen-rich blood flow 

• Reduces puffiness and inflammation 

• Supports collagen production for long-term results 

• Perfect pre-event treatment—glow instantly for weddings, photoshoots, or big events 

The Experience: 
Sessions last just 20–30 minutes and feel soothing and invigorating—never painful. You can walk out glowing and get right back to your day. 

This treatment perfectly embodies the K-Beauty philosophy: nourishing the skin at its foundation, not masking surface flaws. 

🐟 Salmon DNA in Skincare—What’s the Deal? 

One of K-Beauty’s most surprising innovations is Salmon DNA, also known as PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide). It may sound unusual, but the science is remarkable. 

Where It Began: 

• PDRN was first studied in the 1980s–90s for wound healing and tissue regeneration. 

• Extracted from salmon sperm or roe—because salmon DNA closely mirrors human DNA, making it safe and effective. 

How It Works: 

• Activates adenosine A2A receptors to reduce inflammation. 

• Stimulates fibroblast activity, boosting collagen and elastin. 

• Enhances angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), improving repair and rejuvenation. 

Modern Uses: 

• In Asia, it’s injected directly into the skin (not FDA-approved in the U.S.). 

• In the U.S., it’s used post-microneedling or infused with advanced devices like our new TargetCool™ system. 

• Also available in serums and creams for anti-aging and brightening. 

💡 Fun Fact: PDRN began in regenerative medicine—only later did Korean and Japanese dermatologists adapt it for beauty and aesthetics. 

✅ The Trevi Takeaway 

• K-Beauty revolutionized skincare with prevention, hydration, and innovation. 

• Trevi Longevity & Aesthetics Institute is the only medical practice in the area offering this full suite of K-Beauty–inspired treatments, including PDRN. 

• Salmon DNA (PDRN) isn’t just a buzzword—it’s rooted in decades of medical research and now used to support tissue repair, anti-aging, and natural radiance.
