Behind the Bridal Glow: Transforming Aesthetics with Skin Boosters

Christina Delgado, FNP-BC, has established herself as a leading figure in aesthetics, known for her expertise, dedication, and passion for enhancing natural beauty. As the co-owner of Dr. Lanna Aesthetics and LC Medical Aesthetics, she has over six years of experience as an aesthetic injector. Her career began in Arizona, where she developed a deep love for the industry. This passion led her to train other medical professionals and become a PDO Max trainer, a role she has enthusiastically embraced over the past two years.

Christina stays at the forefront of the aesthetics industry by continually updating her techniques and embracing new products. She is particularly excited about the potential of skin boosters, including PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) skin boosters, which are advanced skincare treatments. PDRN is derived from salmon DNA and used in skincare to rejuvenate and repair the skin at a cellular level. PDRN has been shown in studies to promote tissue regeneration, enhance collagen production, and improve skin elasticity, leading to a more youthful and radiant complexion.

She predicts a surge in popularity by 2025 due to their proven benefits in reducing inflammation, promoting collagen production, and addressing the appearance of hyperpigmentation. For Christina, skin boosters represent a powerful tool in bridging the gap between immediate volumization and long-term regenerative anti-aging treatments. Christina is known for her personalized approach to skincare, particularly when preparing brides for their big day. She shares, “I’ve developed a comprehensive sixmonth protocol combining neurotoxins, fillers, threads, and PDO AfterGlo™ and LúmEnvy™ skin boosters. By leveraging multiple modalities, we can achieve truly flawless, radiant skin.”

Christina has been utilizing PDO AfterGlo and LúmEnvy skin booster for several years to enhance hydration, boost collagen, and improve skin texture. As a result, she has acquired a loyal clientele with her innovative approach to aesthetics. This includes the PDO facial with Glowpin™. This treatment has become a cornerstone of her practice due to its remarkable preventative and anti-aging benefits, as well as its ability to improve skin texture, hydration, radiance, and the appearance of fine lines.

“PDO AfterGlo facials have become one of our top treatments within our bridal community,” Christina stated. “We host bridal parties and offer treatments that combine the PDO AfterGlo with a toxin to prep the participants. It has become a huge hit, and our referral rate has increased tremendously.”

According to Christina, one of the main reasons her clients seek this treatment is to restore the integrity of the skin barrier, which can often become compromised, leading to a fragile, less firm, and dehydrated appearance. “When the skin barrier is compromised, it appears quite fragile and aged,” Christina explains. “But when the skin is hydrated and collagen is boosted, it takes on a bright, tight, and dewy appearance.”

When preparing brides for their big day, she begins planning months in advance, tailoring each treatment plan around momentous events like the wedding, bridal shower, and bachelorette party to ensure her clients achieve their desired glow just in time for their special moments. By starting with a chemical peel and following up with three to four microneedling sessions using PDO AfterGlo and LúmEnvy skin booster, Christina addresses issues like discoloration, fine lines, and uneven texture. “To get these impressive results, we infuse the PDO AfterGlo into the superficial layers of the skin utilizing the Glowpin, which has 19 tiny needles that create micro-perforations in the skin to deliver the serum into the top layer.” Christina states, “This combination of microinfusion with the micro-injury response creates a fantastic outcome in the skin’s appearance.” The proof of her success is that her brides tell her that makeup artists compliment them on their smoother, more radiant skin.

Clients typically see their best results in about three weeks after treatment, with effects lasting up to six months. Christina has found that consecutive treatments extend the benefits, promoting collagen regeneration and enhancing skin tone and texture. A crucial part of Christina’s success is her focus on client education and aftercare. By setting realistic expectations and ensuring her clients follow post-treatment guidelines, she helps them maintain their results. This guidance includes avoiding exercise, hot showers, and saunas for 48 hours. Additionally, makeup should not be applied for at least 72 hours. To protect the skin’s healing process, she insists that her client avoid exposure to the sun for two weeks. Lastly, she emphasizes the importance of a good skincare routine, adequate hydration, and avoiding smoking to support the benefits of in-office treatments.

Her commitment to her clients and passion for education are at the core of everything she does. Whether helping a bride achieve flawless skin or training the next generation of aesthetic practitioners, Christina strives to empower others through beauty and confidence.
