Stay golden! If you’ve ever clocked that unmistakable, glassy sparkle to a celebrity’s complexion on the red carpet, chances are they’ve paid a visit to Dr. Mariana Vergara.
The board-certified MD, who treats A-listers out of her private Beauty Villa Vergara in Beverly Hills, California, has become the go-to stop for radiant skin thanks to her signature Golden Facial: a customizable microneedling treatment that uses 20 ultra-fine 24K gold platelet needles to deliver a glow-boosting cocktail directly into the dermis.
The 45-minute procedure is anything but one-size-fits-all. Instead, Vergara customizes each session with a tailored blend of active ingredients.
Think: Botox, stem cells, exosomes, PRP, hyaluronic acid, tranexamic acid, peptides, vitamin C, and glutathione, infused for a lit-from-within finish.
The outcome? You’re not only stimulating collagen production through controlled micro-injuries, but also targeting concerns like texture, enlarged pores, redness, wrinkles, oiliness, and pigmentation, all in one appointment.
And perhaps most importantly during award season, there’s little to no downtime.
“The patient’s skin will look normal the day after, so it’s very convenient, since no redness or inflammation will appear, unlike with other treatments,” she explains.
“I suggest getting it done 2 days in before a big event for better results and to give skin time to heal so it looks smooth, hydrated, and radiant,” the beauty expert adds.
While the finish is bright and luminous, Vergara’s aesthetic is intentionally understated.
“I have a very natural approach and patients who are looking to maintain their natural beauty without changing their essence,” she shares.
According to Vergara, in-office visits should refine, not redefine, and lasting results depend on a steady routine between appointments.
“It’s all about consistency, the right products, and the right treatments to not look overdone.”
Her golden rules are simple. “Wear sunscreen daily, rain or shine, and don’t forget to exfoliate, so dead skin cells are removed and ingredients can penetrate deeper.”
