January

2020 was definitely a memorable year. As a society, we navigated a crippling pandemic, social isolation, divisive politics, and riots for racial justice. Some of us lost love ones, some of us lost our livelihood, some of us lost our hope. We could dwell on all that negativity or, we could be thankful we are a strong, resilient, loving species and approach 2021 with a refreshed attitude and the confidence to face what tomorrow brings us without fear. That’s what I’m choosing.

Regarding skin, this is a great time of year to start undoing all the damage we did from the summer. Procedures like chemical peels and IPL that we use to treat sunspots require sun avoidance for a couple of weeks which makes these cold winter months ideal timing for scheduling that. Also, if you haven’t already lasered unwanted hair on your body, getting started now, will ensure soft smooth hairless skin in time for summer.

As we look to set resolutions, make goals, and dream big, I encourage you to focus on health, energy and happiness. Be well my friends!

Happy New Year!
