We’re thrilled to welcome a new addition to our skincare lineup — Re-Q Pro-Longevity Face Serum.
For years, skincare has focused on treating the visible signs of aging: fine lines, dullness, loss of firmness. Products can soften those effects for a while, but Re-Q takes a different approach, and it’s one we can’t wait to bring to our patients at DLA.
Aging doesn’t mean your skin cells disappear. They simply become less active over time. Re-Q works by helping “wake up” these quiet, exhausted cells, encouraging them to produce collagen and elastin again. Rather than masking the signs of aging, it supports your skin’s natural renewal process at the cellular level — for firmer, smoother, healthier-looking skin from within.
Why We Chose Re-Q
Dr. Sarah Sawyer has spent her career looking beyond the surface of skin health. Alongside her integrative medicine fellowship, she’s pursuing advanced fellowship training in longevity medicine — the science of supporting the body’s systems for the long term, not just correcting what’s already visible.
Re-Q’s pro-longevity approach reflects exactly that philosophy, which is why it earned a place in our lineup.
This is also the thinking behind Laser Stack, Dr. Sawyer’s customized multi-laser protocol, and it’s the same lens we bring to aesthetic treatments: from XERF skin tightening & microneedling, to biostimulatory injectables such as Sculptra.
Re-Q gives our patients a way to support that same cellular-level renewal at home, between your treatment visits.
The Science Behind Re-Q
At the heart of Re-Q is RLX-201, a patented pro-longevity molecule developed to help restore balance within aging skin cells.
As we age, fibroblasts — the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin — can become less active, or “exhausted.” When this happens, skin may begin to lose firmness, elasticity, and radiance. Re-Q is designed to help reactivate these quiet fibroblasts, encouraging them to function more efficiently and support your skin’s natural renewal processes. Think of it as helping your skin remember how to behave like younger, healthier skin.
This represents a shift from traditional anti-aging treatments toward pro-longevity skincare, a category focused on maintaining optimal skin function for the long term rather than just correcting what’s already happened.
Powerful Ingredients Working Together
Alongside RLX-201, Re-Q is formulated with a carefully selected blend of ingredients that support skin health and vitality:
- Swiss Garden Cress Sprout Extract: supports the skin’s natural detoxification processes and helps protect against environmental stressors.
- Sophora Japonica Extract: a potent antioxidant that helps defend skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage.
- Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane: a turmeric-derived antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals while supporting overall skin health.
- Artocarpus Lakoocha Wood Extract: a botanical brightening ingredient that helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and promotes a more radiant complexion.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: a powerful form of hyaluronic acid that draws moisture into the skin, helping it appear plump, smooth, and hydrated.
- Betaine & Glycerin: hydrating humectants that help strengthen the skin barrier and maintain long-lasting moisture.

The Future of Skincare, Here in Birmingham
The future of anti-aging isn’t just about correcting wrinkles — it’s about supporting the health and longevity of your skin from within. Re-Q Pro-Longevity Face Serum represents a breakthrough in skincare science, helping to awaken exhausted fibroblasts and support the natural production of collagen and elastin.
Under Dr. Sawyer’s guidance, it’s a natural extension of the pro-longevity approach already at the center of our practice — and we’re proud to be among the first in the Birmingham, Alabama area to offer it to our patients.
