Q: What is your favorite treatment to recommend as we kick off the new year?
A: Dr. Elizabeth L. Tanzi: The Genius RF device for a youthful, natural look around the eyes. This treatment combines radiofrequency and microneedling to gently stimulate collagen production over time, with just one to two days (or less) of recovery. After two to three sessions, you’ll notice a reduction in fine lines and a refreshed, lifted appearance around the eyes.
A: Dr. Geeta Shah: This time of year, I love focusing on skin rejuvenation and resurfacing. One of my top picks is the BroadBand Light (BBL)/MOXI Laser combination treatment because it helps even out skin tone, improves fine lines and texture and gives the skin a healthy, radiant glow—with little to no recovery. Another favorite is the Profractional laser for smoothing and tightening the skin around the eyes and reducing lines and wrinkles around the mouth. With some recovery time (up to a week), now is a great time to undergo this treatment and allow your skin to heal.
A: Dr. Tania Peters: Sofwave and CoolSculpting. Sofwave targets skin laxity, and I especially love it for enhancing the jawline area. CoolScultping is great for improving body contours and smoothing stubborn bulges in areas like the belly, waist, back and under the chin. Both treatments are non-invasive with minimal downtime and typically deliver the best results in two sessions, four to six months apart. Since the full effects of both develop over several months, starting them early in the year ensures you’ll see visible results by summer.
