Dentistry services have swiftly evolved from traditional oral care to emphasize youthful aesthetics and overall wellness. Leading this transformative approach toward well-rounded oral care is Dr. Anthony Vocaturo, a trailblazer in cosmetic dentistry at NJ Smile Center. With a commitment to enhancing your confidence through a radiant smile, Dr. Vocaturo is excited to employ LiteTouch, an innovative solution that seamlessly integrates the precision of a turbine drill with the unparalleled benefits of laser technology, including microsurgery, rapid healing, and minimally invasive treatments. “Using proprietary laser-in-hand technology, we deliver laser energy directly to target tissues for enhanced cutting capabilities, from decay removal to cavity fillings and decontamination,” Dr. Vocaturo said. “Being an aesthetic dentist, we redo a lot of cases, constantly cutting off crowns and veneers, and I was kind of tired of doing that, which was my main purpose for purchasing this tech. But there’s so much more you can do with LiteTouch. Patients and my staff absolutely love lip-plumping and hydration. We even tested out what in dental terms would be deemed pretty aggressive procedures with zero anesthesia, and the patients experienced no pain, so this machine is definitely a game changer.” njsmilecenter.com

ITS GLO-TIME

Introducing a buzzy new hero treatment for all you beauty-obsessed ladies chasing that radiant, post-sauna glow, like your skin just had a tall drink of water. Skinvive by Juviderm, the first and only hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable for improving skin smoothness in the cheeks, has glow-seeking gals lining up at Dr. Lombardi’s Lips & IVs. Crafted for superficial injection into the epidermis, this intradermal filler utilizes a hyaluronic gel to enhance skin smoothness, resulting in a flawlessly crease-free appearance. Skinvive, upon injection, permeates the skin, attracting water molecules to trigger hydration, with the entire facial procedure usually completed in just 15 minutes following topical numbing. Expect to walk around with a beauty filter, except this air-brushed, youthful appearance will last up to six months. lipsandivs.com

MANE ATTRACTION

By age 40, statistics reveal that 40% of us will experience visible hair loss due to factors like menopause, age, hormonal imbalance, COVID 19, stress, genetics, or simply getting older. In the U.S. alone, the market for hair loss products and treatments is valued at a whopping 5.7 billion. Tara Pimco, owner of Belmar’s Hot Mess Studio and an expert in delivering swoon-worthy tresses, weighed in. “An increasing factor today is rapid weight loss, often due to surgery or the use of semaglutide (Ozempic),” she said. The innovations to combat this issue, said Pimco, are, “We always recommend consulting your physician for medical advice first, followed by three options to address thinning hair, which we believe are most effective when combined. In the salon, a variety of hair extensions tailored to individual lifestyles yield desired outcomes. Nutrafol is a highly reviewed hair vitamin that I personally use, along with a probiotic to support gut health and hair growth. And last but not least, Keravive scalp facial by Hydrafacial is offered at our Belmar studio, available individually or in a discounted pack of three. It’s a treatment that promotes scalp health and stimulates hair follicles, and a great option for men and women to maintain healthy hair and a well-groomed appearance.” hotmessstudio.com
