3 Buzzy Skin Treatments To Try This Spring

The beauty biz is constantly evolving, and that’s especially true for in-office procedures where innovation is always brewing. “There has been a shift toward customized, multi-modal treatments that go beyond a one-size-fits-all approach,” says Joanna Auguste, aesthetic nurse practitioner and owner of The Face Lab in Toronto. To help navigate this dynamic space, we caught up with three pros to get the scoop on the most sought-after treatments to give skin the ultimate boost. —Emily MacCulloch and Ingrie Williams, @t.zonebeauty

Go Face First

A non-invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) and high-frequency electromagnetic stimulation (HIFEM) to tighten the muscles of the face, EmFace is one Dr. Amanda Lau’s go-to treatments. “By targeting the elevator muscles, it causes a lifting effect without any injections,” says the medical director at Skinfolio in Vancouver. To achieve that lifted look, the HIFEM technology works to naturally reset facial features by targeting specific ligaments, while the RF energy helps to stimulate collagen and elastin production. While this might sound like it’s uncomfortable to sit through, Lau says it’s painless and has no downtime, and compares it to a visit to the gym—but for your face. “It’s essentially helping your skin defy the effects of aging and gravity.” Beauty budget: $500 to $800 per treatment completed through four weekly sessions.

Do the Wave

Ideal prep for Hot Girl (or Guy) Summer, Auguste calls Sofwave Ultrasound Lifting & Tightening the must-try treatment at her clinic. Designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production, it delivers synchronous ultrasound parallel beam technology to the mid-dermis,toimprove skin texture and elasticity on the face, neck, under the chin, and brow. It can soften fine lines and wrinkles, too. “Results peak in three months as new collagen forms, so you’ll be glowing in time for warmer weather,” she says. “There’s also no downtime and it’s perfect to stack before injectables or other procedures like laser, resurfacing or microneedling.” Beauty budget: Starts at approximately $1,000, pricing varies by clinic and treatment area

Get Set to Jet

With the power to improve skin’s radiance, increase hydration, calm rosacea or eczema and even stimulate hair growth, Exosome Infusion Therapy with JetPeel is Dr. Roni Munk’s top reco for a seasonal refresh. “Patients are increasingly interested in therapies that stimulate the body’s own healing and rejuvenation processes rather than relying solely on traditional fillers or neuromodulators,” says the Montreal-based medical director of Dermapure Westmount. During the treatment, exosomes—powerful regenerative molecules—are infused into the skin or scalp using the JetPeel device, which delivers them non-invasively through high-pressure oxygen. “We use plant-derived molecules to help stimulate cell renewal, repair damaged skin, and promote healthier, more vibrant hair growth.” Beauty budget: Approx. $750 to $1,500 per session, depending on the treatment area and protocol.
