Remember Mother’s Day last year? What am I saying?? Who can even remember what last month was like, let alone a whole year ago? Well, like probably many of you, I took it for granted, sending flowers to my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law, and neglecting the many other mothers in my life.

But not this year. No, this one, by several orders of magnitude, deserves to be as different as the situation we’re all in. This Mother’s Day should uplift the ones we hold so dear, and value, whether they’re our moms, someone else’s, or that of a very lucky cat.

LIGHTSTIM MASQUE KIT — $168/$249
For my sister-in-law, who’s a proud cat mom and stepmom, the LightStim Masque Kit is on point. She’ll be receiving the LightStim for Wrinkles device, along with 3 free SkinCeuticals Biocellulose Masques. See, we have an MWM tradition: Mask, Wine, and Movie (typically Die Hard). Then we’ll schedule an evening for our MWM, she and her husband will put on their Biocellulose Masques, my husband and I will throw on a couple of MĀSK CBD masks, we’ll all pour some wine, and the 4 of us will start a Houseparty with a fun, escapist flick.

She’ll love trying out the pair of Cryo Ball Cooling Globes with the SkinCeuticals Biocellulose Masque. Hopefully, none of her children steal them before she has at least a few chances to use them herself.

CoolTone just hit the market a couple of months ago, and sure, that might seem like years ago, but it’s so new, we’re just starting to learn what it can do, and what kinds of results people are seeing from it.

How does it work?

CoolTone uses Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) to strengthen, tone, and firm the muscles of the abs, butt, and thighs.* So even though “Cool” is in its name, it doesn’t use the same fat-freezing technology that its body contouring sibling CoolSculpting does. Its powerful MMS technology means that electromagnetic energy is shot into your muscles to cause involuntary contractions. Those contractions cause your muscles strengthen and get defined. One session on your abs is like doing twenty THOUSAND crunches!

Where does it work?

So now we know that CoolTone penetrates below the fat layer to strengthen and tone our muscles. That begs the question, “Where exactly can I use it to tone up?” Excellent question. CoolTone is a great, non-surgical way to tone, firm, and strengthen your abs, butt, and thighs. Think of all those areas becoming leaner, more defined, and lifted. Yep, that’s the image I think we’re all looking for in the mirror.

How many treatments does it take?

We recommend four treatment sessions within two weeks to get the best results. Of course, it all depends on the look you’re trying to achieve, and the body Mother Nature gave you. Not everyone wants a chiseled six-pack, so we can treat you based on whatever side of the firmness spectrum you want to be on. Within just a few weeks, your spectacular results will start revealing themselves.

That sounds fabulous, but can it be even better?

Yes. Yes, it can. Before you come in for CoolTone, start with a few cycles of CoolSculpting to reduce fat, then follow up with CoolTone, and stand back and bask in all your toned up glory! And of course, if you’re going to spend your time and money sculpting and toning, we cannot stress proper nutrition and regular exercise enough. You wouldn’t get your car detailed and immediately start filling it with trash, right? Okay, maybe some french fries…in moderation.

After all this talk about contouring your body in the newest, most exciting, least sweaty ways, are you getting pumped to get out of quarantine and get ready for summer?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage. MLD. You’ve probably heard about it by now. Athletes swear by it. Influencers are talking about it. Even doctors are writing about what MLD has done for their patients.

So just what is MLD then? Well in short, Manual Lymphatic Drainage improves fluid circulation, speeding up healing. See, your lymphatic system helps your body get rid of toxins and defend against infection. It’s an organ of your immune system! And given all the talk of Corona Virus, now’s a great time to talk about avoiding infections.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage reduces all kinds of inflammation, from post-procedure swelling, to treating acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, burns, puffy eyes, and more. It can even calm allergies and the effects of New York City air pollution! Everyone can enjoy the benefits of MLD. When we’re at rest is when our bodies repair and rejuvenate themselves. This is the most underrated thing we know about the body, and one of the hardest things for us New Yorkers to do…actually making time to relax and rest. An MLD session increases the circulation of lymph and fluids in our system, and the drainage of those fluids cleans the tissues of the body, helping that repair and rejuvenation happen faster.

We’re now offering MLD as a standalone, or a companion to any other treatment. We’re certified practitioners of the Vodder Technique, considered the gold standard in MLD. With the Vodder Technique, as with any real MLD, you can expect an extremely light touch and rhythmic stretching. It’s so relaxing and revitalizing, it’s “like a facial from the inside out.”

We highly recommend Manual Lymphatic Drainage prior to and after Plasma Pen, and post-procedure for PDO Threads. Great BEFORE and after cosmetic surgery. It’s also great before a facelift, because we’re giving the surgeon optimal healthy tissue to work with, and it’s great after a facelift to decrease healing time and inflammation, and encourage repair.

At Tribeca Medspa, we recognize that many of our patients, regardless of experience, are uncomfortable, even anxious about the pain and discomfort associated with cosmetic procedures. PRO-NOX is the solution! The versatile, gas delivery technology makes any procedure more comfortable. PRO-NOX relies upon a clinically proven Nitrous Oxide Delivery System that is designed to deliver an oxygen and nitrous oxide gaseous solution that relieves pain during all in-office procedures.

How is PRO-NOX different than similar technologies?
The functionally effective PRO-NOX system is 100% customizable and controlled by the patient. It’s easy to use, adjustable based on the patient’s own needs — and most importantly, it’s safe. With PRO-NOX you get exactly what you need to mitigate pain and discomfort on your terms.

How does PRO-NOX work?
As a self-administered treatment, the amount of gas is regulated by the patient. The gas is released and inhaled through the mouth with nearly instantaneous effects. Because there is no wait time for PRO-NOX to fully take effect, you get exactly what you need as you need it. The effects are also short-term and wear off within approximately 10-15 minutes, so there is little recovery time required. Once the procedure is complete, you can be on your way.

What treatments can it be used for?
Ultherapy, Fraxel, Nova Thread, WarmSculpting, Injectables or PRO-NOX can be used upon request!

There’s a chill in the air and the fall season is settling in. As we switch our summer wardrobe to fall, we must also change our skin care regimen. In the transition between seasons, going from hot to cold, you may notice that your skin changes as well. As the air around us gets colder, it also becomes drier resulting in the air pulling moisture from your skin causing it to look dull and dehydrated.

Sometimes the effects are subtle, sometimes they’re more pronounced. You may notice that as your skin loses moisture, it can become more sensitive, more visible fine lines and wrinkles, increased telangiectasia (spider veins) and thirsty for some extra TLC. Suddenly, you’re not putting your best face forward. A few small tweaks to your skincare routine, along with an aesthetic treatment, can have your skin glowing in no time.

TMS to the rescue! Make an appointment today for a seasonal skin analysis and let our experts help your skin transition into the fall season.

Our Fall Recommendations:

• Chemical Peels
• Camille of NY Glycolic Acid
• TMS Signature Facial
• Lifeline Dual Action Scrub
• Laser Retexturizing Treatment
• Custom D.O.S.E

Fraxel non-invasive laser treatments have become increasingly popular for treating the cumulative effects of time, sun exposure, pollution, stress and even fatigue — everything that keeps your complexion from looking as young as you feel.  But did you know that Fraxel has the potential to destroy pre-cancer and even early skin cancers? A 2013 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology helped to validate Fraxel for this purpose.

More specifically, it’s an effective treatment for actinic keratosis (AK), the most common pre-cancerous skin condition.  AK shows up as rough, red, scaly patches, and is caused entirely by sun exposure and UV damage.  Left untreated, AK can turn into a type of skin cancer known as squamous cell carcinoma.  Fraxel creates microscopic zones of injury in the skin, stimulating a wound-healing cascade that ultimately results in increased collagen production and photo rejuvenation.

Fraxel Restore is the laser of choice because it can effectively treat actinic keratosis that focuses especially on sun damage in the top layers of the epidermis where squamous cell carcinomas start. 

So why Fraxel over other treatments?  It is the only treatment that not only treats the pre-cancerous actinic keratosis, but also treats the cosmetic aspects of sun damage.  In other words, it will get rid of the potentially dangerous spots and make your skin look younger too.

You can expect two levels of results, immediate and progressive. Immediately after initial healing is complete, the surface of your skin will feel softer and tone will start to become even. Progressive results occur over the next three to six months as the deeper layers of the skin continue to heal.

All that fun in the summer sun can wreak havoc on your skin. Even when you think you protected your skin from the sun’s damaging UV rays, you often can’t be sure until it’s too late. Sun exposure can and will do long-term damage to collagen, elastin and even skin cell DNA. Fall is the time to repair and rejuvenate!

Uneven skin tone, dehydration, sensitivity and hyperpigmentation (sun spots) are common signs that your skin has been exposed to sun damage. With hyperpigmentation, in particular, it can take several weeks for melanin to reach the skin surface, intensifying dark spots. 

Before the damage is visible, let Tribeca MedSpa preserve and restore your skin’s health with the reparative and rejuvenating treatments your skin needs today.
