At The Rejuvenation Space, we take a whole-body approach to skin health. While our clinical treatments address the skin directly, we know that what happens inside the body has a profound effect on how the skin looks, feels, and responds to treatment.
Nutrition, sleep quality, stress levels, gut health and the natural ageing process all influence skin function at a cellular level. When these foundations are supported, our clinical results are stronger, longer-lasting, and more consistent.
Why Internal Support Matters for Skin
The skin is the body's largest organ, and like every other organ, it depends on nutrients, hormones, and cellular signalling to function well. Collagen synthesis requires vitamin C, zinc, and amino acids. The skin barrier relies on essential fatty acids. Inflammation, which drives conditions like acne, rosacea, and accelerated ageing, is heavily influenced by gut health and diet.
When we see clients whose skin is not responding as expected to treatment, internal factors are often part of the picture. Supporting the body from within is not a replacement for clinical care, but it is a meaningful complement to it.
SynTernals NAD+ — Cellular Energy and Skin Longevity
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It plays a central role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular resilience. NAD+ levels decline significantly with age, and this decline is associated with reduced cellular repair capacity, increased inflammation, and accelerated skin ageing.
SynTernals NAD+ supports the replenishment of NAD+ levels through a clinically relevant dose of NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), a direct precursor to NAD+. For skin, this translates to improved cellular energy, better repair of UV-induced DNA damage, and support for the longevity pathways that keep skin functioning optimally as we age.
We recommend SynTernals NAD+ particularly for clients focused on healthy ageing, skin resilience, and those undergoing treatments that stimulate cellular regeneration, such as skin needling, Rejuran, or PRP.
SynTernals Alpha Omega — Essential Fatty Acids for the Skin Barrier
The skin barrier is the outermost layer of the skin, responsible for retaining moisture and protecting against environmental aggressors. A compromised barrier is at the root of many skin concerns, including sensitivity, dryness, reactive skin, and conditions like eczema and rosacea.
Essential fatty acids, particularly omega-3s (EPA and DHA) and omega-6s in the right ratio, are critical structural components of the skin barrier. They support the lipid matrix that holds skin cells together, reduce inflammatory signalling, and help regulate sebum production.
SynTernals Alpha Omega provides a high-quality, balanced blend of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. For clients with reactive, dry, or inflamed skin, this is often one of the first internal supports we recommend alongside topical treatment.
Imbibe Beauty Renewal — Collagen and Gut-Skin Axis Support
The gut-skin axis is a well-established area of research. The health of the gut microbiome influences systemic inflammation, nutrient absorption, and immune regulation, all of which have direct effects on the skin. A disrupted gut microbiome is associated with acne, rosacea, eczema, and accelerated skin ageing.
Imbibe Beauty Renewal is a marine collagen powder formulated to support both gut integrity and skin structure. It contains hydrolysed marine collagen peptides, which are absorbed efficiently and provide the amino acids needed for collagen synthesis in the skin. It also contains prebiotics and gut-supportive nutrients that help maintain a healthy microbiome.
We recommend Imbibe Beauty Renewal for clients looking to support their skin from within, particularly those focused on skin firmness, hydration, and gut health. It works well alongside our collagen-stimulating treatments.
Imbibe Beauty Sleep Hot Chocolate — Sleep, Cortisol and Skin Recovery
Sleep is when the skin does its most significant repair work. Growth hormone is released during deep sleep, driving cellular regeneration and collagen production. Cortisol, the stress hormone, drops during sleep, allowing the skin to recover from the inflammatory effects of daily stress.
Chronic poor sleep is associated with increased skin sensitivity, impaired barrier function, accelerated ageing, and reduced treatment outcomes. It is one of the most underestimated factors in skin health.
Imbibe Beauty Sleep Hot Chocolate is formulated with magnesium, ashwagandha, and other adaptogens that support the nervous system's transition into rest. It is designed to be taken in the evening as part of a wind-down routine, supporting deeper, more restorative sleep and, by extension, better skin recovery overnight.
Our Approach: Internal and External, Together
We do not prescribe internal supplements as a substitute for clinical treatment. What we do is look at the whole picture. When a client's skin is not responding as expected, or when we want to maximise the results of a treatment plan, internal support is often part of the conversation.
The products we recommend are chosen because they are evidence-informed, high quality, and aligned with the clinical outcomes we are working toward. We stock SynTernals and Imbibe in our clinic because we believe in them, and because we have seen the difference they make.
If you would like to discuss whether internal support is appropriate for your skin goals, we are happy to talk through it at your next consultation.
