There’s a quiet revolution happening in Manhattan’s beauty scene, and it’s unfolding inside the Lotte New York Palace hotel. In a new partnership that blends biotechnology, precision, and understated luxury, the beautiful Diana Seo, founder of The Collagen Bar, has brought her acclaimed Collagen ReCode Lift and Salmon Sperm DNA Facial to ila Spa, the hotel’s high-tech wellness sanctuary.
Diana Seo, known for her science-driven, clinical-meets-luxury approach, has long been a favorite of Manhattan insiders. Her Gramercy Park studio became a destination for those seeking visible, lasting results without the downtime of surgery. Now, she expands her philosophy, merging her proprietary collagen-restoring technology with ila Spa’s state-of-the-art wellness systems.
The spa experience feels serene but hums with quiet innovation. Treatments unfold with both traditional services and advanced touchless modalities, such as robotic massage beds that deliver surprisingly gratifying, precision motion therapy; pulsed electromagnetic field sessions that enhance cellular repair and rejuvenation; and hyperbaric oxygen therapy that accelerates healing and oxygenates the skin at a cellular level.
It’s the kind of environment that supports total restoration, where treatments take place alongside dramatic views of St. Patrick’s Cathedral — a setting perfectly aligned with Diana’s regenerative approach.
At the heart of the partnership is the Collagen ReCode Lift, a next-generation, non-surgical facial designed to treat skin from the inside out. The treatment begins with a diagnostic reading that identifies inflammation, hormonal imbalance, and hydration levels. Next comes the sculpt-and-tone phase, where Forma RF energy and Diana’s proprietary neo-collagenizer microcurrent work in tandem to lift and contour facial muscles while stimulating deep collagen renewal.
The experience culminates with what has become the newest beauty phenomenon: the Salmon Sperm DNA Facial, also known as Rejuran. The treatment uses purified polynucleotides extracted from salmon DNA, which is remarkably similar to human DNA, to accelerate repair, calm inflammation, and stimulate collagen production. Infused with cutting-edge ingredients, the formula acts as a regenerative blueprint, teaching skin to behave as it did years earlier.
The final facial stage, longevity rejuvenation, infuses the skin with proprietary peptides and biomimetic actives that strengthen elasticity and deliver unmistakable radiance. The effect isn’t merely cosmetic — it’s biological. Skin emerges lifted, hydrated, and visibly more glowing.
It’s a philosophy aligned perfectly with ila Spa’s ethos, where innovation meets stillness and technology is balanced by restorative touch therapy. Together, The Collagen Bar and ila Spa are redefining what modern skincare can be: a fully integrated experience where science, recovery, and luxury blissfully coexist.
