Before undergoing any surgical procedure, I wanted to do the absolute most I could to prepare my skin/face/body so that I would have the best possible outcome. I did not want to have a facelift that would pull wrinkled, sun-damaged neck skin up on my face for all the world to see. I wanted the […]
I have the good fortune to work for a truly great facial plastic surgeon, who is highly trained and who has a unique approach to surgery, utilizing tried and true methods and innovative techniques he has developed over his 20 + years of practice. His emphasis on quality and his refusal to compromise on safety, […]
ThermiVa and Missy are the best and have changed my life! After seeing a urologist and undergoing physical therapy for incontinence issues, I was looking at bladder surgery in order to get relief. I am in my 60s with autoimmune and hormone challenges which create vaginal laxity, dryness and the bladder urgency. Even laughing would […]
We’ve all seen the photos of celebrity plastic surgery nightmares. No one wants to end up looking worse than they did before the surgery. But how can you be sure? Do your research.

I also get […]
I used to think that it was enough to wash my face twice a day and wear sunscreen if I was going to be in the sun. What more do you need? Apparently, a lot more. I was introduced to medical grade skincare products in my new job. I always thought all cleansers and moisturizers […]
I had struggled with acne in my teens and early twenties like most of us do. I also had extremely oily skin. One dermatologist told me I had the oiliest skin he had ever seen. Another recommended washing my face with Zest deodorant soap to combat the excessive oil. Another had me sit under a […]
“You are what you eat.” We’ve all heard this saying, and it is, of course, true. A healthy diet is one critical component to a healthy, youthful complexion. But diet alone is not the answer. Of equal importance is “what you do.” That’s right, together with a balanced diet, regular exercise is critical to help […]
