The Collagen Bar Expands to Lotte New York Palace with Next-Gen Skin Technology
Story by Theresa Catena.
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.
