Ever had a tough day and thought, “I deserve this cupcake”? You’re not alone. Many people use food as a reward. While it might feel comforting in the moment, these little “treats” can quietly turn into habits that hold you back—especially if you're on a weight loss journey with GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide.

Let’s talk about how to tell the difference between a real reward and a trigger—and how to take back control without guilt.

If you’ve noticed changes in your period since starting GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide, you’re not alone. These medications are powerful tools for weight loss and blood sugar control—but they can also cause some surprising changes in your menstrual cycle. Let’s break it down simply and clearly.

When it comes to skincare staples, few products have earned “classic” status quite like the Obagi Nu-Derm Toner. While toners have come a long way from the harsh, alcohol-heavy formulas of the past, this cult-favorite strikes the perfect balance between tradition and innovation—gently refining your skin without stripping it dry.

If your eyes are the windows to your soul, they deserve the best frame possible. Enter: EyeMax AlphaRet® Overnight Cream—the cult-favorite eye treatment from SkinBetter Science® that works while you sleep to smooth, firm, and brighten the delicate skin around your eyes.

Wondering why your appetite feels totally different on GLP-1 meds? It’s not magic—it’s science.

Many people struggle with hunger and cravings, making weight loss feel impossible. Regular diets don’t fix the real issue: your hunger hormones.

If you’ve been trying to lose weight but feel like your body is fighting you, stress could be the reason. More specifically, a stress hormone called cortisol might be making your progress harder than it needs to be.

Lumecca IPL is an effective treatment for hyperpigmentation, targeting dark spots, sun damage, and uneven skin tone with precision. The intense pulsed light penetrates the skin and breaks up excess melanin responsible for discoloration, helping to fade brown spots, age spots, and post-inflammatory pigmentation over time. Lumecca offers one of the strongest IPL technologies available, often delivering visible improvement after just one to two sessions. It's a safe, non-invasive option for those struggling with stubborn pigmentation, especially on the face, neck, chest, and hands, and works best when paired with sun protection and proper skincare.

If you have sensitive skin, you probably have a complicated relationship with sunscreen. Redness, stinging, breakouts, and white cast nightmares—we get it. Finding an SPF that doesn’t irritate your skin or make you feel like you’re wearing a chalky mask can feel nearly impossible. That’s exactly why we’re so excited to offer Pavise SPF at Core Aesthetic—because this isn’t just another sunscreen. It’s a game-changer for sensitive skin.

You’ve tried everything to get that truly luminous, smooth skin, but some skin concerns just need more power. Maybe you have stubborn dark spots, rough texture that won't budge, or fine lines that are becoming more noticeable. What if there was a way to get clinic-level results right at home, safely and effectively?

When it comes to dermal fillers, two popular types stand out: Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers and biostimulant fillers. Both can enhance your appearance and rejuvenate your skin, but they work in very different ways. At Core Aesthetic, we believe in educating our clients so they can choose the best treatment for their unique goals. Here’s a breakdown of what sets HA fillers and biostimulants apart—and how each can help you look and feel your best.

GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are changing how many people feel hunger. They make you feel full faster and help you eat less. Sounds great, right? But weight loss isn’t just about hunger—it’s also about how we think and feel about food.

Long days, late nights, and endless screen time—we ask a lot of our eyes. Enter Obagi’s Daily Hydro-Drops Rejuvenating Eye Gel Cream, your new secret weapon for waking up looking like you actually got eight hours of sleep.

Microneedling offers a range of skin-rejuvenating benefits by creating tiny controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural healing process and boost collagen and elastin production. This treatment can improve skin texture and tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimize acne scars and stretch marks, and shrink enlarged pores. It can also enhance the effectiveness of skincare products by allowing deeper penetration of active ingredients. Microneedling is a versatile, minimally invasive treatment suitable for most skin types, and with consistent sessions, it can deliver smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

When it comes to discoloration, dullness, or uneven skin tone, finding a product that delivers without irritation can feel like chasing the glow with no finish line. But here’s your shortcut to a more radiant complexion—SkinBetter Science® Even Tone Correcting Serum is the brightening hero your routine has been waiting for.

While on a GLP-1 medication, your metabolism can shift in several ways. These medications mimic a natural hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite, leading to reduced hunger, slower gastric emptying, and lower calorie intake. As you lose weight, your resting metabolic rate may also decrease slightly—this is a normal response as your body adjusts to a smaller size and lower energy needs. However, GLP-1s help counteract some of the usual metabolic slowdowns by supporting better insulin sensitivity and glycemic control. To keep your metabolism strong while on a GLP-1, it's important to maintain lean muscle through strength training, stay hydrated, eat enough protein, and stay consistent with your movement throughout the day.

Some things are just better together—and when it comes to lips, Ourself’s Lip Filler + Lip Conditioner Duo is the dream team you’ve been waiting for. One plumps, one softens, both deliver science-backed results that take your pout to the next level.

Thinking about trying Botox? You’re not alone—this quick, non-surgical treatment has become a go-to for anyone looking to smooth fine lines and soften wrinkles with minimal downtime. By temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, Botox helps create a more refreshed, natural-looking appearance—especially in areas like the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Results typically begin to show within a few days and last about 3 to 4 months, making it an easy way to maintain a youthful glow all year long.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps or skin thickening. It commonly appears on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin, and can also cause eye irritation in some cases (ocular rosacea). While the exact cause isn’t fully understood, triggers often include sun exposure, spicy foods, alcohol, hot beverages, stress, and extreme temperatures. Rosacea tends to flare up in cycles, and although there’s no cure, it can be effectively managed with gentle skincare, prescription treatments, laser therapy, and lifestyle adjustments. Early diagnosis and consistent care are key to keeping symptoms under control and preventing progression.

Lipo-Mino and MIC B injections are popular injectable treatments designed to support fat metabolism, boost energy levels, and aid in weight management. Lipo-Mino injections typically combine lipotropic compounds (such as methionine, inositol, and choline) with key nutrients like B-complex vitamins and L-carnitine, which help the body break down and eliminate fat more efficiently. MIC B injections focus on the core lipotropic agents plus vitamin B12, enhancing energy production and supporting liver function. These injections are often used as part of a broader wellness or weight loss program, giving the body the nutritional support it needs to function at its best while promoting healthy metabolism and fat loss.
