The consumer press places a greater emphasis on cosmetic procedures in the winter months, and this year is no exception. Forbes wrote about new skincare treatments to try, including Sofwave, which uses ultrasound to stimulate collagen and elastin. Miria, a new fractionated, non-ablative skin tightening and resurfacing treatment, was featured for its safety in darker skin tones. The article also covered DiamondGlow, a 3-in-1 dermabrasion treatment.
New Beauty featured two articles on filler: one on options for mature skin and the other on why not to be afraid of fillers, which included dermatologist Dr. Karan Lal’s thoughts on “filler phobia.” In the article, Dr. Lal outlined different types of filler and shared what to consider when getting filler. His tips include not falling for the “liquid facelift” marketing, choosing the right injector, and avoiding a yearly touch up.
Marie Claire’s article on laser stacking originated when the writer visited her dermatologist to address uneven skin tone and texture. Her dermatologist, Dr. Michael Contreras, recommended two laser treatments performed consecutively in the same office visit. The writer relayed that Dr. Contreras told her that the combination would give her better results with less downtime. The results proved Dr. Contreras was correct. The writer reported that her results were better than she had ever experienced with a single laser. In addition, her friends asked her if they should speak to their dermatologists about stacking laser treatments.
