What is the DHmeds Exclusive 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™?
The DHmeds Exclusive 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™ is a physician-guided, non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment developed to support skin renewal, texture, collagen production, and overall skin quality using four complementary regenerative technologies.
The complete protocol combines:
Step 1: Microneedling
Step 2: Stem Cell Regenerative Growth Factors
Step 3: GHK-Cu Peptide Therapy
Step 4: Red Light Therapy
Rather than relying on a single modality, the 4-Step Protocol™ is designed to support the skin's natural renewal and regenerative processes from multiple angles within one comprehensive treatment for the face and neck.
What does each step of the 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™ do?
Each component plays a different role in the treatment.
Microneedling creates controlled microchannels in the skin and supports the body's natural repair response, including collagen and elastin production.
Stem Cell Regenerative Growth Factors provide regenerative signaling factors designed to support skin renewal, recovery, and overall skin quality.
GHK-Cu Peptide Therapy provides copper peptide support associated with collagen, elastin, tissue repair, and healthy skin.
Red Light Therapy uses targeted light wavelengths to support cellular activity, recovery, and overall skin wellness.
Together, the four steps provide a comprehensive regenerative approach to facial and neck rejuvenation.
What areas are treated with the 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™?
The DHmeds 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™ is designed to treat the face and neck.
Dr. Hirsch will evaluate your skin, areas of conce
rn, and individual goals during your consultation to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
What skin concerns can the 4-Step Protocol™ help improve?
The treatment is designed to support overall skin quality and may be appropriate for patients concerned about:
- Fine lines
- Uneven skin texture
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Changes in skin quality associated with aging
- Loss of smoothness
- The appearance of enlarged pores
- Uneven-looking skin tone
- Face and neck rejuvenation
- Supporting collagen and elastin production
- Maintaining healthier, more radiant-looking skin
Individual results vary, and Dr. Hirsch will evaluate whether the treatment is appropriate for your particular skin concerns.
Who is a good candidate for the 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™?
The treatment may be appropriate for adults who want to improve overall skin quality while maintaining a natural appearance.
It may be especially appealing to patients who:
- Want non-surgical facial rejuvenation
- Are noticing early or moderate signs of skin aging
- Want to improve the appearance of skin texture and fine lines
- Want to support collagen production
- Want to rejuvenate both the face and neck
- Prefer a regenerative, multi-modal approach
- Want natural-looking improvement rather than changing their facial features
A consultation with Dr. Hirsch is the best way to determine whether the 4-Step Protocol™ is appropriate for your skin and goals.
How is the 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™ different from microneedling alone?
Traditional microneedling primarily uses controlled microchannels to stimulate the skin's natural repair response and collagen production.
The 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™ expands upon microneedling by incorporating Stem Cell Regenerative Growth Factors, GHK-Cu Peptide Therapy, and Red Light Therapy as additional components of the treatment.
This creates a more comprehensive, multi-modal approach to supporting skin renewal, recovery, and overall skin quality.
How is the 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™ different from Stem Cell treatment alone?
A regenerative growth factor treatment may combine Microneedling + Stem Cell Regenerative Growth Factors.
The 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™ expands upon this approach by incorporating GHK-Cu Peptide Therapy and Red Light Therapy as additional components.
The four technologies are combined within one treatment to support multiple aspects of skin renewal and rejuvenation.
What are Stem Cell Regenerative Growth Factors?
The term “stem cell” is often used broadly in regenerative aesthetics.
The DHmeds protocol uses Stem Cell Regenerative Growth Factors — regenerative signaling factors that are applied in conjunction with microneedling to support the skin's natural repair and renewal environment.
The treatment does not involve injecting living stem cells into the face.
Dr. Hirsch can explain the regenerative product, its source, and how it is incorporated into your treatment during your consultation.
What is GHK-Cu and why is it used for facial rejuvenation?
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide that has been studied for its role in tissue repair and skin health.
GHK-Cu Peptide Therapy is incorporated into the 4-Step Protocol™ to complement microneedling and regenerative growth factors while supporting collagen, elastin, recovery, and overall skin quality.
Why is Red Light Therapy included?
Red Light Therapy is the final step of the protocol and is used to complement the regenerative treatment.
Targeted wavelengths of red light are used to support cellular activity, circulation, recovery, and the overall post-treatment skin environment.
Including Red Light Therapy allows the protocol to address another aspect of skin wellness within the same treatment.
Will the 4-Step Protocol™ make my face look different?
The goal of the 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™ is natural-looking skin rejuvenation, not changing the shape or features of your face.
The treatment focuses on supporting skin quality, texture, collagen production, and a healthier, refreshed appearance.
It does not add facial volume in the way injectable fillers can and does not relax facial muscles like neuromodulator treatments.
Is the 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™ a facelift?
No.
The 4-Step Protocol™ is a non-surgical regenerative facial treatment designed to support skin quality, texture, collagen production, and natural-looking rejuvenation.
It does not surgically remove or reposition skin and is not intended to provide the same results as a surgical facelift.
Can the 4-Step Protocol™ be used on the neck?
Yes. The face and neck are included in the DHmeds Exclusive 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™.
Treating both areas allows Dr. Hirsch to take a more comp
rehensive approach to visible skin aging rather than focusing exclusively on the face.
Is there downtime after the 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™?
The 4-Step Protocol™ is non-surgical and generally requires minimal downtime.
Temporary redness, sensitivity, tightness, or mild swelling may occur following microneedling. The skin may also feel similar to a mild sunburn for a short period following treatment.
Dr. Hirsch will provide individualized aftercare instructions based on your skin and treatment.
When will I see results?
Skin rejuvenation occurs gradually.
Some patients may notice that their skin looks or feels refreshed as it recovers from treatment, while changes related to collagen remodeling and overall skin quality develop over time.
Results vary based on age, skin condition, lifestyle, treatment frequency, and individual response.
How long do results last?
The natural aging process continues following treatment, so results are not permanent.
How long improvements remain noticeable varies depending on your skin, age, lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare routine, and individual response.
Dr. Hirsch can discuss whether periodic treatments may be appropriate as part of your long-term healthy-aging and skincare plan.
How many 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation treatments will I need?
Treatment recommendations vary depending on your skin condition, age, concerns, goals, and response to treatment.
Some patients may choose a single treatment, while others may benefit from a series or periodic treatments as part of an ongoing facial rejuvenation plan.
Dr. Hirsch will evaluate your skin and recommend an individualized approach rather than using the same treatment schedule for every patient.
How should I prepare for treatment?
Preparation may vary depending on your skin, skincare products, medications, and medical history.
Dr. Hirsch will provide specific pre-treatment instructions when appropriate. Be sure to tell him about prescription medications, topical products, recent cosmetic procedures, and any active skin concerns before treatment.
What should I expect after treatment?
Temporary redness and sensitivity are common following microneedling.
Your skin should be treated gently while it recovers. Dr. Hirsch will provide individualized instructions regarding skincare, sun exposure, exercise, makeup, and when to resume your usual products following treatment.
Following your aftercare instructions is an important part of the treatment process.
How much does the 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™ cost?
The DHmeds Exclusive 4-Step Facial Rejuvenation Protocol™ is $875 per treatment and includes treatment of the face and neck.
A complimentary consultation with Dr. Hirsch is available to determine whether the 4-Step Protocol™ is appropriate for your skin, concerns, and healthy-aging goals.
