Hey guys! It’s been a while. There have been so many exciting things happening at Exhibit, especially in our skincare world, that I had to take a little blog hiatus to stay on top of it all! This is now the perfect opportunity for me to fill you in on what we’ve been working on- and our latest additions! (Speaking of filling you in, be sure to check out Nicole and Jon’s aesthetics podcast “Fill Me In” if you haven’t already, just sayin’.)
As most of you know, in June, Exhibit doubled in size for its one year anniversary. Well now, we have that new side all filled up- with new treatments, devices, and providers! We added on the Sciton mJOULE laser, the VISIA Skin Analysis machine, our wellness program directed by our Nurse Practitioner Megan, our wonderful new aesthetician Nikki, and waxing services with our body wax and brow specialist, Taylor. We also have added on some new products from ZO, Skinbetter, and SkinMedica.
We recently had another successful Grand Re-Opening party to celebrate all of our new additions. We love being able to do these events to give back to our loyal clients, and we are SO grateful for all of the support, and for you guys continuing to choose Exhibit. We really are so lucky to have some of the best patients out there- you guys are the heart of our business. We look forward to holding more mini events throughout the year, and hope to continue this Open House tradition every year! While I am on this, just want to shout out the Exhibit team, it really is a work culture and environment unlike any other. With admirable leadership, mutual respect, when your goals are aligned, and you all feel appreciated- you really are unstoppable. Being such a high volume practice, with so many projects going on, and the holiday season around the corner, there’s no one else I’d rather be beside than this group of women. Love you guys- but alright, back to our regularly scheduled programming..
First, I’ll briefly explain some of the benefits of the mJOULE. Now, this really isn’t my realm, as I won’t be providing these treatments but it all goes hand in hand, and I am a firm believer in utilizing multiple modalities. mJOULE offers impressive technologies like MOXI, BBL, and SKINTYTE. These are effective solutions for prevention and correction, and can play a big role in improving skin quality. Whether you want some gentle resurfacing, to diffuse redness, improve luminosity or vascular concerns, mJOULE has something for everyone. These can be done on their own, or in conjunction with peels, microneedling, and injectables to give some amazing results. Remember, injectables are wonderful but those results will only look as good as the health of your skin. So please don’t neglect these treatments that are imperative to improving your skin health- or homecare, of course!
While we are discussing skin quality, let’s talk a little about the VISIA. Using high-definition imaging and advanced algorithms, this tool provides a comprehensive analysis of the skin. This includes factors such as wrinkles, texture, pores, sun damage and pigmentation. It even shows us what’s beneath the surface, allowing us to better understand what’s going on with your skin, and what steps we need to take to prevent further damage or signs of aging. It provides us with “scores” and a “skin age” which is really neat because after we come up with a regimen and treatment plan, we can check back in a few months to see what has improved. I really believe this will be such a game changer for not only tracking our patient’s results, but to even better lead us in the right direction for treatment and homecare solutions. We actually have some really exciting plans for the VISIA in the New Year so stay tuned!!
Before I talk a little about our new providers, I’ll tell ya about the products new to Exhibit. With Winter around the corner I had hydration on the brain so we now have ZO’s Recovery Creme. This is a rich hydrator for dryness, redness, and fragile skin. It calms, promotes resilience, and helps restore moisture. This is a great night cream option or for those who experience extreme dryness in the colder months. We will stick with the hydration theme and go right into the two new products we picked up from SkinMedica. They recently revamped their beloved HA5 and created HA5 Hydra Collagen. This serum is essentially Skinvive in a bottle, as it supports your skin’s natural ability to replenish Hyaluronic Acid with 2X the HA as the original, it’s truly a glass of water for your face. Plus, now that we offer laser hair removal and body waxing services, I felt it made sense to add some body solutions to the mix. Firm & Tone body lotion hydrates, diminishes the look of crepey skin, addresses texture, and improves firmness and tone by supporting your collagen levels. Show your body some love this winter!
I haven’t exactly been shy about Skinbetter being my new favorite- Mystro, Even Tone, and Alpharet will literally never leave my regimen as far as I’m concerned, sorry not sorry. But I must say, the patients have been loving it too! Which has prompted us to add more from this amazing line. Some products newer to our Skinbetter party include the Alpharet Exfoliating Peel Pads, which I absolutely adore. A tad spicy but such an effective little treatment to do at home 1-3 times a week to boost exfoliation leaving skin smooth and bright. If you are oily or acne-prone, and prefer a mask type treatment, we also got the Detoxifying Scrub Mask which is a nice little reset to absorb excess oil, decongest, and promote clarity.
We also added Tone Smart SPF 75, their famous tone-adapting lotion that provides a touch of color. While we LOVE Colorescience, we had a lot of requests for this as it already had many fans, and this is a good tinted option with very subtle coverage. Techno Neck Perfecting Cream is another new addition, as let’s face it- we all got tech neck these days from looking at our phones. This is a great option to soften and prevent those lines while firming the delicate skin on the neck. Again, we still got all the products you guys already know and love, just wanted to show the new kids in town some love.
Best for last: new providers!
Megan is leading our new wellness program here at Exhibit. She is a certified family Nurse Practitioner, who has received both her doctorate and bachelor from Rutgers. She is offering weight management, hormone optimization, and dietary/supplement services. She does not intend to replace your primary care provider, just add to it and fill in any gaps you may have- because let’s be honest, there are always gaps. She will dedicate her time to discuss your needs, body composition, and lab analysis. I myself am participating in her program and it has been a game changer for me. For once, I felt heard and I feel like I have a way better understanding of my body and why I feel the way I do. She is also just so easy to talk to and truly wants to educate you, she does this in such a nonjudgmental way, which I think is just so important in this field, as we know our doctors don’t always have the best bedside manner- truly cannot recommend her enough. While I love you guys coming in to achieve your skin goals, please take the time to meet Megan for a consultation, and achieve your health goals.
I am so happy to introduce my new partner in crime, Nikki. She was actually in the same aesthetics class as Nicole and me, so this is yet another full circle moment. I have enjoyed following her aesthetic journey through the years on social media, and we are so privileged to have her here with us at Exhibit. She was a lead at her previous spa, and has a real knack for that relaxing vibe and building genuine relationships with her clients. She is positive, excited, and eager, and she truly wants the best for you and your skin. She is a regimen-building queen, and your go-to for acne, bridal prep, and selfcare. Sunshine and positivity literally radiate off of her, she has been a breath of fresh air, and I couldn’t imagine anyone better for the role. She has fully immersed herself in all of our skincare and has been a literal sponge when it comes to product knowledge. I am so lucky to work alongside someone with her enthusiasm, and we look forward to bringing you guys amazing results, content, and events. Stay tuned!!
Now Taylor is actually also from our aesthetics class. After graduation she decided to specialize in body waxing and brow services. If you asked me what I remember most about her from school- well I’d first say her sense of humor but her brows would be a close second. While I know body waxing is sometimes an awkward experience, she does an amazing job at prioritizing client comfort, cleanliness, and education. She has actually waxed me all of these years and I swear that brazilian is over and done in the blink of an eye and in the midst of laughter and conversation. Whether you need hair removal, brow maintenance, or a sick sculpted brow, she can do it all while making it a super pleasant experience, because well, aside from doing a kick ass job- she’s also just super cool.
So whether you have seen us recently, or its been a while- be sure to ask about all the new offerings at Exhibit, and take advantage of them! We strive to provide you with the best care and have truly all put in so much work, education, and time into these additions, and it really is all for you guys. We really want Exhibit to be your one-stop shop, and do everything we can to offer you solutions to make it easier for you to achieve your skin, and now, health goals. Paired with the treatments and injectables we already offer, I believe we are doing just that.
