Blame it on social media but even if no one quite "wakes up like this," they sure want to look like they did, says Hausauer. Even if an influencer or celebrity spent 30 minutes editing their image before hashtagging it, she says the quest for radiant yet fresh-faced skin continues.
While this can be achieved with a smart combination of products recommended by your dermatologist or aesthetician, more patients are seeking a professional approach via lasers that shave off dead skin cells, bacteria and, if you're lucky, years. One example is Sciton's Halo laser, which Hausauer calls a one-of-a-kind device because it can target not only superficial layers but deep ones — at the same time. "Double wavelength technology really is a gamechanger, because it allows for results typically seen with more intense treatments but downtime of less aggressive options. Within a week, the skin is better than baseline. Think luminous, lit-from-within, like on the runways or red carpets," she adds.

While for years men might have been open about viagra use, a woman disliking the appearance of her vagina post-children wasn't as welcomed or discussed. Luckily, Hausauer says the once-taboo topic is shifting, as more women and couples are comfortable discussing women's health. "Pregnancy, menopause and intense physical activity all change a woman's body. They can develop urine leakage, tissue laxity and decreased lubrication with painful intercourse, bleeding, more frequent urinary tract infections," she explains. Today, there are treatments available — like the diVA — which can help to thicken tissue and ameliorate leakage and laxity, all while boosting lubrication, giving women more options and opportunity to improve their below-the-belt confidence.
