In the last few months, we have seen increased demand for body contouring and cellulite procedures. As people are making plans for vacations, there has been a significant uptick in consultations for both non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures. With summer on patients’ minds, new non-invasive options for reducing fat, like the EvolveTM procedure, and are increasingly popular because there is no downtime or restrictions on activities like exercise and swimming.
We are seeing a total body rejuvenation revival. Clients are joining our DNA Weight loss program in record numbers. Both men and women are enrolling in our hormone replacement therapy and, not surprisingly, men and women are getting Brotox, Botox, and complexion renewals since we are socializing and networking in our communities again. The plasma pen has become even more popular as it delivers wrinkle repair, improved elasticity and skin tightening without plastic surgery.

Currently we have two very sought-after procedures at Saintly Skin. PDO Thread Lifting — also known as the non-surgical lower face lift — is a procedure that naturally lifts the skin and causes it to produce its own collagen. The other is the use of platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy. This can be used as an add-on to our microneedling radiofrequency treatment or used with our PRP Saintly Skin facial. PRP can also be combined with under-eye filler for optimal results. These procedures tend to take a more natural approach to anti-aging.
Our plastic surgery practice has been busier than ever. From talking with patients, I think many people had a conscious or subconscious fear that the world was drastically changing or that they might not survive the pandemic. Now that we’ve come out on the other side, we’re seeing patients who are ready to “seize the day” because one never knows what the future holds. We are especially seeing lots of elective surgeries like facelifts, eyelid and breast lifts that patients had always wanted but had just been putting off.
