It’s official--school’s out for summer! It’s time for poolside lounging, barbecues with the family, and tropical vacations spent in the sun... just don’t forget your broad spectrum SPF! At Synergy, summer means beating the heat with hot savings and we plan to spend this season celebrating all the best parts of summer. We started the season with our annual SKINsational Summer Open House at our Inside the Beltline location. This event is always a client fave (as well as one of ours)! We’ve also got some exciting small evening events planned this season at our North Raleigh location. The small events will cover a variety of topics, from vaginal health to injectables, and will give you the opportunity to meet and connect with our expert providers in a more intimate setting. This season will also see some changes to our Inside the Beltline location. As we continue to grow and expand, you’ll notice a new layout, as well as some additional treatment rooms, which we believe will only enhance your Synergy experience. In this edition of our FeelSynergy Magazine, along with event details, you’ll find information on our top treatments for glowing summer skin. It also includes a feature on melasma and stubborn summer pigmentation (trust us-- we’ve been there!) by one of our Expert Licensed Aestheticians, Ashli Carnicelli. All in all, we have plenty to celebrate this summer! Be sure you’re following along with us on social media (@feelsynergy) so that you don’t miss out on any exclusive offers or fun giveaways. Looking forward to celebrating YOU this summer!

10 Units of BotoxÂŽ Complimentary With Your Lip Blushing Treatment $70 0
VA L U E $ 8 4 5
Lip Blushing is a modern form of semi-permanent makeup that leaves a natural tint to your pout and is nothing like the lipsticked look of the past. Our Microblading & Pigmentation Expert Lisa will begin by creating a very soft and subtle outline of your lips with the desired pigment choice. She’ll then shade in the rest of your lips, which avoids the overly-lined look, creating the illusion of natural, fuller lips. See Synergy for full details and restrictions. Click to Learn More 11

Synergy Founder and CEO Anna Churchill answers reader questions in every issue of Triangle Style Magazine.
Q A
Anna, What are the alternatives to a surgical facelift? Ultimately, I want something with little to no downtime and natural results. - Olivia
Unfortunately, Olivia, it’s a fact of aging that, as the clock turns, our facial fat pads start shifting and our bodies naturally produce less collagen and elastin (the proteins responsible for bouncy, youthful skin). Luckily, though, there are a variety of treatments to achieve lifting without the downtime of your typical surgical facelift. For one, Botox® and fillers can certainly provide significant refresh to fallen or sunken in features with very little downtime. For the most facelift-like improvements, though, I’d recommend exploring the revolutionary technology of FaceTite by InMode. FaceTite uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate tightening and collagen production underneath the skin while also removing unwanted fat. Around Synergy Face & Body, we like to think of it as shrink wrap for your skin! The incisions are tiny (no need for sutures!), the procedure takes about an hour, and the swelling you might experience from treatment usually fades in a few days. FaceTite is the perfect minimally-invasive procedure for someone who needs a little more impact than nonsurgical modalities allow for, but who isn’t at the point of needing a full facelift. I’ve actually had the procedure myself, and the results speak for themselves. As always, I’d recommend scheduling a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss all of your options. Best of luck! 21
