What are your most sought-after treatments right now?
Patients are seeking treatments that address their lower face and neck area. For every concern, we have multiple solutions, and patients see the best results when they combine these treatments. Fillers and neuromodulators can help wrinkles and folds. Several devices, like Sofwave and Evoke, address skin laxity, and we can either melt or freeze submental fat to get rid of a double chin.
What new treatments have you launched this year?
We’ve introduced a lot, and we were involved in clinical trials for most! Having been the first to treat a human patient with CoolSculpting, we were thrilled to be the first with the new Elite system. This fat-freezing device can treat four areas at once with better contact, which will save patients hours of treatment time with transformative results. Evoke sculpts cheeks and jowls with RF technology. For cellulite, we’ve introduced Resonic, which uses Rapid Acoustic Pulse technology to break up the tethering collagen fibers, and we have other modalities as well. Juvéderm Volux is the first and only FDA-approved filler for jawline definition—very exciting!
What does Laser & Skin have in store for 2023?
As pioneers in our industry, we’re always working to help bring more groundbreaking devices to market through our clinical studies. We already have more than 10 FDA trials planned for 2023, and we can’t wait to introduce you to the game-changing technology. As we spend another year helping patients look and feel their best, we’ll be working on our glow-up too. Keep an eye out for exciting changes!
