For years, anti-aging meant chasing one wrinkle or filling one hollow. At NewBeauty\u2019s first State of Aesthetics<\/em> Roundtable in New York, the doctors around the table kept coming back to something bigger: the health of the skin itself.<\/p>\n Jennifer Pearlman, MD is a Toronto-based physician focused on women\u2019s health and menopause medicine, and she emphasized the connection between skin health and longevity. \u201cWe can\u2019t talk longevity until we restore healthy, radiant skin quality,\u201d she said. Dr. Pearlman, who attended as a guest of Artemis, also discussed the role of hormonal health and regenerative approaches in aging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n That idea of skin longevity came up again and again. \u201cThe walls are coming down,\u201d said the roundtable\u2019s moderator, Chicago facial plastic surgeon Steve Dayan, MD. \u201cAesthetic medicine is no longer just aesthetic medicine; it\u2019s combining with longevity medicines.\u201d<\/p>\n San Diego dermatologist Tess Mauricio, MD also attended as a guest of Artemis. She said dermatologists now see skin as more than a cosmetic concern. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at the skin not just as an endpoint of what is happening in the body, but actually a sign of what is happening biologically,\u201d she said. New York dermatologist Marina Peredo, MD echoed a phrase that came up more than once during the evening: \u201cFrom vanity to longevity.\u201d<\/p>\n That\u2019s driving interest in regenerative treatments, which aim to help skin repair and rebuild rather than simply cover up what\u2019s changed.<\/p>\n Dr. Pearlman said that thinking is changing what doctors want from energy-based treatments. The newest generation is \u201cless about surface refinement,\u201d she said, and more about technology that reaches deep into the tissue \u201cto restore skin quality, like Neogen.\u201d<\/p>\n Neogen comes from Artemis, whose CEO, Simon Mansell, also joined the roundtable. According to the company, it uses pure nitrogen plasma to deliver controlled heat into the deeper layers of the skin while preserving the surface. It\u2019s FDA-cleared for concerns including wrinkles and acne scars and can treat the full face, including the eyelids. Results build over several months.<\/p>\n The other big shift is timing. Austin, TX plastic surgeon Johnny Franco, MD noted that patients embraced preventive toxin years ago. \u201cBut now we\u2019ve even seen preventative energy devices,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve seen people being more proactive with their energy devices and not waiting.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s a smart instinct, because collagen loss picks up speed with age and especially around menopause. Dr. Pearlman sees women\u2019s health as one of the biggest stories in medicine right now. \u201cFemale-centric medicine is having not a moment but a paradigm shift,\u201d she said. Preventive skin tightening can\u2019t stop the clock, but starting before laxity sets in gives skin a stronger foundation to work from.<\/p>\n The same philosophy is reshaping the body. Asked whether his practice is seeing more demand for body skin tightening, Dr. Franco said, \u201cDefinitely more skin tightening.\u201d Across body procedures, he added, patients want a fit look that suits \u201ctheir active lifestyle\u201d rather than dramatic change.<\/p>\n Vero Beach, FL plastic surgeon Alan Durkin, MD explained why energy-based treatments appeal to so many of those patients. Many work by stimulating collagen, which makes them \u201cmore additive\u201d than procedures that remove tissue. For Dr. Durkin, starting with noninvasive care is also how doctors build lasting relationships with patients. \u201cStarting that early on and maintaining that, that\u2019s part of how we earn trust before we convert to surgery,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Artemis\u2019s T-Shape 2 is built for that kind of body skin tightening. It combines multipolar radio frequency, low-level laser, vacuum and mechanical massage in one noninvasive session to target laxity, texture and contour, with no downtime, according to the company. Dr. Mauricio called it \u201camazing,\u201d and Mansell said patient demand has climbed fast. A year after Artemis launched consumer advertising for its partner practices, monthly new patients grew from about 100 to about 3,000. \u201cThe T-Shape 2 also just is an amazing device, gets amazing results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Few doctors at the table rely on a single tool. Dr. Mauricio builds plans that layer several at once. \u201cWe definitely have seen patients where they\u2019ve been doing regenerative combination therapies, multiple types of energies,\u201d she said. For the face, her Time Machine protocol pairs an energy treatment such as CO2 laser or RF microneedling with platelet-rich plasma and sometimes nanofat or exosomes.<\/p>\n If skin quality is your goal, tell your provider that up front. Ask what\u2019s driving the changes you see, whether that\u2019s age, hormones, sun or weight shifts, and whether a plan that combines energy-based treatment with regenerative add-ons makes sense for you. Ask how many sessions you\u2019ll need and when to expect results, since collagen takes time to build.<\/p>\n Credentials matter, too. \u201cDiscovery doesn\u2019t equal trust,\u201d Dr. Mauricio said, and patients are paying more attention to experts with \u201creal credentials,\u201d \u201creal experience\u201d and \u201creal great technology to create incredible results.\u201d<\/p>\n As Beverly Hills, CA plastic surgeon Charles Galanis, MD put it, the goal has changed. People \u201care realizing that they\u2019re not coming here to look better; they want to feel better.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For years, anti-aging meant chasing one wrinkle or fill […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3494,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3493"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}From Vanity to Longevity<\/h2>\n
