Non-Invasive Procedures and Treatments from 2020
Now we’re two blogs into the breakdown of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) cosmetic procedure statistics for the year 2020. In those first two blogs we talked about the overall decline in surgeries of 14% due to the average 8.1 weeks of office closures during COVID lockdowns. We also detailed some research into […]
Don’t Be Scared of a Peel
During this scary time of year, there is a lot to be afraid of. Saw and Friday the 13th Marathons on AMC, wondering if you have purchased enough candy for the hordes of little ghouls and goblins traipsing about Worcester (so you don’t run out OR get left with extra bags that you’ll then eat!), […]
Transitioning from Summer Skin: Time to Repair
There are so many things that excite us about fall. The heat finally breaks, leaving us will a chill in the air that feels so refreshing after a long hot summer–and this summer was especially hot for many of us! The call of sweater weather and reading with a candle flickering nearby is hard to […]

Even skin tone, minimal wrinkles, and little to no acne don’t just happen. Maybe you’re worried about one specific skin issue, or maybe you have a […]
Beauty Really Is Skin Deep
April is the month of beauty, and nothing says beautiful like healthy, glowing skin. Men and women spend thousands of dollars each year on products to cleanse, brighten, tone, protect and hydrate the skin.

Exfoliation: Your Skin’s Best Friend
