Acorn: Personalized Skincare Redefined

Acorn is a revolutionary skincare treatment that utilizes your own stem cells to produce a personalized, cell-free serum known as a secretome. This serum is rich in growth factors, cytokines, exosomes, and microvesicles—molecules that dramatically accelerate tissue regeneration and support deep skin rejuvenation.

Unlike generic solutions, Acorn is crafted uniquely for you. Your stem cells are gently collected from hair follicles, cultured, and transformed into a lyophilized (freeze-dried) product. Once rehydrated with hyaluronic acid, it is applied topically post-treatment and may continue to be used at home for lasting results.

Why Choose Dr. Courtney for Acorn Treatment?

Dr. Courtney is more than a surgeon; he is a true advocate for personalized care. With advanced training at the Texas Medical Center and years of experience in facial and aesthetic procedures, he understands that every patient’s skin is as individual as their goals.

Under Dr. Courtney’s care, your Beverly Hills Acorn treatment is administered with precision, timing, and an eye for optimal recovery. His ability to seamlessly integrate Acorn into your post-procedure protocol ensures that your results are enhanced and beautifully natural.

How Acorn Is Applied and Used

The process begins in our clinic with the collection of a small number of hair follicles. This non-invasive, painless step yields your unique stem cells, which are then used to formulate your secretome. The finished product is applied topically after your treatment and sent home for continued use, amplifying the benefits of your in-office procedure.

Acorn is not sold off the shelf. It is a biologically personalized treatment, administered under the supervision of professionals like Dr. Courtney to ensure safety, precision, and effectiveness.

Recovery and Results with Acorn

Patients often report visible improvement as early as one day after their in-office application. The serum supports rapid recovery, minimizes redness and irritation, and enhances overall skin texture and glow.

Used over the course of a week or two, our Beverly Hills Acorn treatment continues to work in harmony with your skin, revealing cumulative improvements and lasting radiance.

FAQ

What types of procedures pair best with Acorn for optimal results?

Acorn is most commonly used following laser resurfacing and microneedling, but it can also be paired with radiofrequency treatments or other energy-based therapies that benefit from accelerated healing and enhanced tissue regeneration.

Can I use other skincare products while using Acorn at home?

Yes, but it’s important to follow Dr. Courtney’s instructions on which products to avoid. Harsh exfoliants or active ingredients like retinoids may interfere with the absorption or benefits of the secretome.

How long is my stem cell sample viable for future Acorn treatments?

Once harvested and stored correctly, your youthful stem cells can be used multiple times, even years later, making Acorn a sustainable option for long-term skincare support. Please note that long-term storage may involve additional fees and will be reviewed during your consultation.

Does Acorn help with acne scars or pigmentation?

Yes. The regenerative components in secretomes may support improvements in skin tone and texture, including reduction in post-inflammatory pigmentation and the appearance of acne scars when used with appropriate resurfacing procedures.

Is there a risk of infection or contamination from the stem cell process?

The Acorn protocol involves sterile collection, culturing, and sealing under clinical laboratory standards. Risks are minimal, but Dr. Courtney follows rigorous protocols to ensure the highest level of safety.

Can Acorn be used on areas other than the face?

Absolutely. While the face is the most common target area, Acorn can also be applied to the neck, chest, or hands—any area that has undergone aesthetic treatment and may benefit from enhanced recovery.

What is the cost of Acorn treatment?

Pricing varies based on whether Acorn is added to a standalone procedure or part of a comprehensive treatment plan. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed quote tailored to your specific needs.
