You've heard us say it every day in the office. “You’ve gotta be on a Vitamin A derivative.”
Vitamin A products, also called retinoids, are generally broken down into 3 categories that you've probably heard of: Retinol, Tretinoin and Accutane. So what’s what? Simply put, retinoids are a group of Vitamin A products. These have a long-studied, proven track record in skincare.

Crepey skin on the arms and knees can be disheartening as we age.
We eat right, exercise and apply moisturizer. We jokingly call this downdog knees. When we begin yoga, perhaps in our 40s and 50’s we begin to view our knees in an unflattering angle. This can be the first glimpse into ageing skin. But even if you don’t go to yoga, you may begin to notice leathery skin on the upper knees and arms. This phenomenon is usually caused from sun exposure which causes a breakdown in elastin and collagen. Over time, this breakdown of the structure of the skin causes thin, paper like, leathery wrinkled and crinkled skin. So how can you reverse and repair this?

I know, you've never smoked a cigarette in your life.
It’s so unfair to wrongly characterize ALL of us. Those pesky upper lip wrinkles that make us crazy. By simply living, laughing, eating and drinking we are developing upper lip lines. Well thankfully we’re not going to tell you to stop all that activity but there are some things you can do to mitigate and soften those upper lip wrinkles. History shows us the best results come from combination therapies.
Our best cases have been from clients who commit to several different treatments to really attack those upper lip wrinkles on several levels. These wrinkles develop from repeated use. The underlying muscles are dynamic, meaning they move. A LOT. When we treat upper lip wrinkles we may suggest several different treatments including fillers, microneedling and Botox. There isn’t one magic bullet! Here is an overview:
Ok, we know the best shape for a healthy, youthful, looking face is an inverted triangle🔻 (read the last blog for more on that)
Day after day women want to know how to fix the lower third of the face: Marionette lines, jowls nasolabial folds and laugh lines. We pray for an easy fix, one thing that can fix it all. But often it's not actually treating that area first. When we do a facial assessment, we first need to consider the mid face in relation to the lower face. If there is volume loss in the midface and cheeks, we want to fill that first. The last thing we want to do is add filler to an already heavy lower face. It squares off the lower face in an unnatural and unflattering way.
You choose, Beverly Hills, Atlanta, New Jersey or whichever one you like.

Intimate wellness (or) Take good care of your vagina:
For people who have vaginas you know we like to keep ourselves in tip top shape. Our vagina requires attention and detail. In the last couple of years there has been an absolute explosion of vaginal hygiene products in the market. (I’m totally opposed to products that are vaginal fragrance or deodorant and am so tired of chemicals, pink packaging and misogynistic advertising. Give me a break!)
The entire vaginal hygiene space is SO loud and confusing right now but I’m happy this conversation has become mainstream. At last we can openly discuss our vaginas! Hallelujah. There are several great options for vaginal rejuvenation. These procedures can give you a better function and more pleasure. Let me give you the low down on the down under.
Got jowls?
I know, it's all falling down. Hollowness the the midface and jowls along the jaw line. Not a great look. Are you going for a face lift? That’s the first question to ask yourself. Surgical results are fantastic for the jowls and jawline definition, but if the answer is NO, then let’s talk about non invasive options for the jowls and jawline. Fillers aren’t just for filling and adding more volume. Fillers can slim, define and contour the jawline. Fillers can help look the neck look more defined, too. By adding fillers that act like bone, we can lift the tissue, strengthen, tighten and define the lower face.
We can’t always control the camera angle. Have you ever accidentally opened your camera on selfie mode? YIKES! The neck is a complicated little area on the body. We often get the face looking great without taking into consideration the neck. We need to care for the neck early on and not neglect the lower half of our upper self! Early intervention is best but it’s never too late to make it look better. The advances in technology have given us lots of amazing options for the neck. Here is a short list of issues and remedies for the aging neck:
What's the best way to treat my neck?
I don’t need to tell you because you might be noticing already, but as we age, lots of activity happens in the neck. The neck skin is different than the face or body. The tissue and muscles are a little bit thinner and weaker. We’ve gotten really good about taking care of our face by using sunscreen and wearing hats, but our fragile necks somehow get left out. Here’s my short list and where to start for the neck.

Diamonds may be forever, but other kinds of treasured artistry can easily go out of fashion. It’s possible the tattoo you acquired and loved a decade ago just doesn’t fit your current lifestyle. Worse yet, that body art could represent a mistake, poor workmanship or a decision you now regret. Is there a way to get a literal clean slate…to remove an unwanted tattoo safely and affordably? Definitely yes!
