As we kick off the New Year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on where we’ve come from as well as to look ahead at what is sure to be an amazing year. We’re now officially going on 15 years since Synergy’s doors opened at our Inside the Beltline location in 2004! That space in the Shoppes of Glenwood Village has seen multiple renovations over the years. In 2018, we expanded our North Raleigh location by about 4,000 square feet to include a laser and training center. With the merger of Collins Plastic Surgery, you may have noticed a slight change to our name... We are now known as Synergy Face & Body! We are the Triangle’s only full-service spa, med spa, laser center and plastic surgery practice. In 2019, we will be launching our training/consulting division, as well as our Body by Synergy™ division, which has been spearheaded by the addition of our latest muscle sculpting and toning device Emsculpt®. And since our physical space has gotten a facelift, we thought our digital profile should get revamped as well. Make sure that you’re following us on social media (@feelsynergy) for the latest updates on services and giveaways, and be on the lookout for our all-new website that will be launching this season. As you flip through the (digital) pages of this inaugural edition of our online magazine, I hope that you’ll find the information about our specials, recent community activity and Q&As with your favorite providers both useful and interesting. I hope you love it as much as I do! Cheers to 2019!

with Brooke Studley, M.S., PA-C Winter is one of the best seasons for laser treatments, giving your skin the chance to fully renew before you reveal the beautiful results during busier warmer months.
Q: What is the best treatment for damaged skin during winter months? A: I personally love the Halo™ hybrid fractional laser treatment. It is the first hybrid laser of its kind using non-ablative and ablative wavelengths that can help address several skin issues in one treatment with a lot less downtime than older generation lasers. One Halo™ can treat fine lines and wrinkles, pore size, irregular texture, and sun damage including brown spots and red spots very thoroughly. The procedure is relatively pain-free and patients can apply makeup within 24-48 hours of the procedure. The Halo™ can be used on the face, neck, chest, arms, hands, and legs for a complete skin rejuvenation outcome. Q: Who is an ideal candidate for laser treatments? A: Patients who want a comprehensive treatment for anti-aging! Lasers are precisely customized for each patient to address specific concerns. I love using Botox® and fillers to help improve aging skin, but lasers can treat the underlying symptoms and can even prolong the effect of your injectables! Because lasers can stimulate your own skin to produce collagen and erase the signs of aging, the results are very natural and permanent!

Synergy offers several pain-relieving options for those who are anxious about discomfort during a laser treatment. In addition to topical and injected numbing, patients may also choose to add PRO-NOX™ (a.k.a. “laughing gas”), an inhalable blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen that is self-administered without side effects.
Q: How do laser treatments like BBL™ and Halo™ work to restore skin? A: BBL™ (broad band light) therapy utilizes different wavelengths to heat up the upper layers of the skin to treat sun damage, rosacea, acne, and aging, or sagging skin. The treatment stimulates your cells to renew and allow for healthier, clearer, brighter and more youthful looking skin to appear. Halo™ utilizes customized energy to create microscopic channels in the skin. The ablative wavelength targets the epidermis (outer layer of skin) to treat texture and pore size. The non-ablative wavelength targets the dermis (deep layer of skin) to treat sun damage and aging skin. This process stimulates your own cells to create new collagen, which is the building block of our skin. Halo™ creates healthier, tighter, more vibrant skin that continues to improve over several months. Q: What is the biggest bang for your buck with limited downtime? A: For patients who want to address texture and sun damage but don’t have a lot of downtime, the Clear & Bright treatment is a great option. Using a combination of BBL™ and non-ablative fractional laser, you can achieve great results with only a few days of true social downtime. I also recommend the NanoLaserPeel™ to patients which only requires about 1-2 days of downtime. It’s like having an aggressive microdermabrasion and helps tremendously with skin texture, pore size, fine lines and wrinkles, and superficial pigment. Patients love how refreshed and luminous their skin looks afterwards. It’s also an amazing maintenance treatment after receiving the Halo™ or Clear & Bright treatments.

Synergy Founder and CEO Anna Churchill answers reader questions in every issue of Triangle Style Magazine.
Q A
As seen in this issue
Anna, I have heard about complexion analysis reports and figured with the new year approaching perhaps this would be the best time to nail down and address some of my problem areas. What exactly does the analysis show me? Thank you, Stephanie Stephanie, this time of year is the perfect time to take a serious look at your skin! Receiving a complexion analysis before starting any regimen or treatment is crucial to tracking your progress and results. At Synergy, we’ve invested in the VISIA® Complexion Analysis System by Canfield Scientific to give our clients and patients the most sophisticated experience in aesthetic and skin care consultations. To get the analysis started, you’ll simply take a quick photo in the VISIA® interface, and then after a few moments the device will reveal exactly where your skin stands in terms of red spots, brown spots, UV damage, wrinkle density, texture and pores. Not only that, but VISIA® is also able to simulate how your skin will age in the next few years, and its database of 250,000 faces will show you how your skin compares to other people your age. If you’re on the fence, I can’t stress it enough how important this kind of analysis is for giving you tangible evidence of both your baseline and any progress you make from treatment. The best part is that, at Synergy, these consultations are complimentary and you’ll leave with your customized report! Schedule an appointment for a VISIA® complexion analysis today.

Synergy offers effective Tattoo Laser Removal with Perigree™ technology
The TRI-Beam Q-Switched Laser works by directing light energy into your skin. Different colored inks respond to different wavelengths of light, so your treatment will be customized for your specific goals and the specific tattoo you wish to have removed. While tattoos require multiple treatments to be completely eliminated, you can see the progress by the lightening of the tattoo as you continue with treatments. To help alleviate any pain from treatment, Synergy offers PRO-NOX™, a Zimmer Chiller, as well as topical and injected numbing agents.
