In the ever-evolving world of skincare and beauty tech, a new device is making waves for treating everything from age spots to discomfort after laser treatments. 

We sit down with Peggy Chung, a seasoned expert in dermatology and aesthetics, to discuss the “coolest” new innovation in skincare, Glacial Rx. This is the first and only cryo-aesthetic treatment that utilizes precision cooling to combat inflammation and reset your skin from within. 

In this episode we’ll discuss: 

• Cryotherapy: The benefits of cold therapy for your skin to treat inflammation and pain.
• Precision cooling: Glacial Rx delivers treatment at just the right temperature and time based on each patient’s unique biology.
• The Treatment Process: Starting with a consultation from a skilled professional., we’ll hear about what the treatment entails from the application of controlled cooling to the minimal downtime and results.
• Benefits for the skin: From improving overall skin health and achieving “Glacial Skin” to removing age spots, this treatment can be customized for each person’s individual needs.

If you’ve been getting fliers every year, it may be time to consider a new approach to adding volume: the boomerang lift.

We speak to the co-creator of the process, Dr. Oren Tepper, a board-certified Plastic Surgeon and the Director of Aesthetic Surgery at Montefiore Health System. He’s recently opened a new office at 497 Greenwich Street, and has consistently been recognized as a Top Doctor by New York Magazine and Castle Connolly’s Guide since 2017.

Dr. Tepper has pioneered a non-surgical, instantly effective fat transfer “volumizing lift” that can turn back the clock on your appearance. This innovative procedure corrects the “flattened” look often associated with aging and offers results that can last up to ten years, effectively “boomeranging” your youthful appearance.

Key Topics We Explore in This Episode:

• How aging affects fat atrophy and distribution (and why you might want to avoid buccal fat removal).
• Filler vs. fat: Which is better for different areas on the face and why?
• The Boomerang Lift: A fat grafting facial rejuvenating procedure that lifts and smooths the cheek area.
• The “Ozempic face”: Why fat might be more effective in treating volume loss after rapid weight loss.

Bumps and bruises are an inevitable part of getting fillers and Botox, but a new skincare line is setting out to reduce the downtime and discomfort!

After noticing the lack of consistent, effective, and accessible post-injection care in the industry, Shay and Nayda partnered with a world-renowned cosmetic chemist to develop a new class of skin care that elegantly blends luxury and recovery into exquisite formulas for pre-treatment, post-procedure, and daily skin maintenance. After six years of research and development, they’ve launched 2 innovative formulas to help with post-injection care.
