At Yoo Direct Health, everything starts with the belief that beauty and longevity are tied together. The clinic’s work is grounded in assessing underlying biological factors, including hormones, gut health, sleep patterns and metabolic function to tailor care around long-term health. When the root causes of aging are treated carefully, the aesthetic results come faster and last longer.
Its mission is simple—help people look better because they feel better. By blending functional medicine with regenerative aesthetics, the clinic prioritizes prevention and stability over quick fixes, connecting treatment decisions to patients’ broader skin and health considerations.
“We take a whole-picture, longevity-driven approach to create an aesthetic plan that supports natural and long-lasting results,” says Alexis Yoo, CEO.
A Structured Approach to Aesthetic Care
Biology remains the starting point for every plan. Rather than building care around surface concerns, Yoo Direct Health evaluates each patient’s physiology to determine what will meaningfully support skin health. Tools such as phenotypic age testing, hormone panels, gut analysis and wearable data help establish a baseline before any aesthetic intervention is considered. Facial anatomy and individual aging patterns are then assessed to guide how care is applied.
Clinical decisions are supported by a range of treatment models selected to strengthen tissue and support healthy skin function. These include regenerative therapies such as ozone-enhanced platelet-rich fibrin, peptides, shockwave therapy and polynucleotides, alongside hormone optimization, neural therapy for scar modulation and customized medical-grade skincare. This combination improves skin structure and slows down signs of aging. Each treatment is chosen based on how it supports the patient’s biology rather than as a standalone solution.

“Our goal is to make aesthetics feel holistic, strategic and deeply personalized, supporting the whole person, not just the wrinkle or the pigment spot,” says Carmen Puckett, aesthetic nurse.
Treatment Grounded in Education and Engagement
Education plays a central role throughout the care process. Patients gain clarity on why their skin is changing and how each treatment decision is made. Yoo Direct Health explains how factors such as hormones, inflammation and sleep influence skin health and uses metrics like glucose trends and phenotypic age to track progress over time. This helps patients feel involved and more confident in the direction of their care.
Every plan is built around the patient’s history and comfort level, creating a personal and well-paced process. By blending science with the human side of care, it helps patients make informed decisions and stay engaged throughout their treatment.
In one instance, a 46-year-old patient with persistent cystic acne had undergone hormone replacement therapy that improved her overall well-being. She later developed acne flares due to hormonal fluctuations. Underlying gut imbalance and a non-medical-grade skincare routine further contributed to inflammation and delayed recovery.
Yoo Direct Health addressed these internal causes with targeted supplementation and therapies such as IV ozone and peptide support. This was followed by an aesthetic plan focused on treating active acne and post-inflammatory scarring. Over the course of treatment, this combined approach improved her skin health, restored confidence and helped her feel more in control of her overall well-being.
Patients increasingly arrive with questions about underlying health factors, reflecting a growing interest in how data and clinical assessment inform care. Yoo Direct Health supports them with clarity, education and realistic expectations. The clinic continues to refine its care model and incorporates new diagnostics that are relevant to the evolving patient needs.
By maintaining a biology-first approach, Yoo Direct Health helps patients understand how their skin and health are related and how care evolves. This emphasis on continuity and informed decision-making supports outcomes that feel personal and sustainable.
