Radio Frequency (RF) Energy Delivered Microneedling is one of the most exciting and versatile technologies on the market today – it jumpstarts collagen production, smooths out fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin quality, and reduces scars and stretch marks, and can be used on any skin type for texture, pores, scars, and skin tightening anywhere on the body.  Microneedling uses a special device with needles to create tiny channels in the skin to trigger its natural wound healing capabilities, namely the production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks of supple, youthful skin. Unlike lasers which are light-based, these devices use radio frequency energy to produce bulk heating of the dermis that induces new collagen production to tighten, firm and thicken skin. We talk to Dr. Jessica Weiser about what we can expect from the treatment, and the best away to achieve maximum results. She also gives the tea on the state of things in Soho and exciting advancements in cellulite reduction!

Breast size, shape and proportion play a unique role in every woman’s self-perception, sense of physical balance, femininity, and confidence. Pregnancy, weight gain and loss, heredity, or advancing age can predispose to loss of breast volume, projection and position. We talk to Dr. Adam Kolker about how a breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, can restore a more youthful, perky, attractive shape, proportion and balance to the breasts. We also dive into the differences in implant types (saline vs. silicone), how to find the best size and surgeon, and review all of the risks and considerations one must make before undergoing any type of breast augmentation Amber also shares a personal story and reveals why Dr. Kolker might be her “breast” kept secret.

Until recently, the only way to reduce skin laxity—such as jowls and drooping cheeks—was through a surgical face lift or mini-lift. While injectables can restore lost volume, they cannot remove loose skin, and so a new type of procedure has been developed to fill in the gap between noninvasive facial rejuvenation and facelift surgery: The “thread lift.”  While there are three types of threads used, they all involve the use of temporary sutures inserted under the skin, to pull the skin back slightly and lift the face or neck. In addition to to the subtle but visible lift, the threads activate the body’s healing response and creates collagen.  But while the results can be fabulous, one doctor says they are not as consistent as Botox and Filler.  We talk to Dr. Samer Jaber about thread lifts, and the pro’s and con’s of using them.

Up to 90% of skin aging is due to the effects of the sun, but what if we could stop that damage – even after a burn occurs? We talk to Dr. James Beckman, founder of the Theraderm Skin Renewal System, who says his line can reverse UV damage that has already happened to skin throughout the day – whether you used sunscreen or not. Theraderm incorporates a patent-pending formulation that is currently being proved in a bio-engineering university study to prevent most permanent sun-related damage when used AFTER skin injury occurs. This is accomplished with medical-grade formulations and a mix of ingredients that includes the primary natural mediator of energy storage and use in the body, enzymes, powerful antioxidants and patented peptides. One of the patent-protected peptides is exclusive only to Theraderm products and is proven to reduce and repair signs of aging in the skin itself!

Currently, the most popular and effective non-invasive, skin tightening device on the market, Ulthera uses ultrasound energy to tighten not only the superficial layers of the skin but also some of the soft tissue beneath them. It’s also the only FDA-approved non-invasive treatment for skin lifting. The treatment takes about an hour and a half, and its effect lasts up to two years. We talk to Raechel Lowe, a licensed aesthetician with an extensive medical background who is renowned for her role as a trainer, key opinion leader, mentor, and investigator for laser companies. Hear how she treated Amber’s skin and the real truth about the procedure, the pain involved, and the results.
