Summer went by quickly and fall is finally here! The fall and winter months are usually a time when cosmetic procedures and treatments increase—an opportunity to recover from procedures with considerable downtime and reduced sun exposure that may interfere with recovery.
For MedEsthetics’ September issue, we focus on jowls, jawline and chin, spotlighting the FDA’s acceptance to move forward with potentially approving Skinvive by Juvéderm for the neck as clinicians increasingly treat the face and neck as one entity. Megan Fox’s serum, a Botox alternative she uses, her sister claims, is also explored next to its effectiveness and whether it suffices in place of it Botox.
You’ll also learn the importance of staff with ongoing training and continued education in the business consult section, and on the note of proper training and education, we also delve into John Oliver’s coverage of medspas and how this industry needs better regulation and universal laws as diverse expertise comes into play. While estheticians juggle the grey zones of laws, looking for ways to practice beauty safely and earn credentials, we discuss how to navigate appropriately and responsibly. Celebrities, too, are playing a role in patient education and informed discussions around body enhancements.
Flip to the product round-up for treatments that target the jowls, jawline and chin specifically, and check out a new research initiative with Brown University, a goal to uncover the biological shifts in age as women search for empowerment and effective solutions to mitigate the signs of aging.
Happy fall,
Jamie O’Toole
