We currently offer FaceTime consultations for skin care concerns and creating treatment plans for when our medspa reopens. We have put many other safety procedures in place to keep our staff and patients safe and healthy— above and beyond the safety protocols we have always followed.”
HOW HAS YOUR PRACTICE ADAPTED TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC? “We have always offered telemedicine consults for patients coming from all over the country.

they often expect immediate results for a skin concern—wanting wrinkles to disappear and skin to look smoother overnight. While you won’t see the results after your first session, it just keeps getting better after each treatment. Our staff members educate patients about the length of treatments for desired results and about the best product or service for their area of concern.” WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOUR PATIENTS LIKE MOST? “We created Orá Rx, a medical-grade skin care line to help hydrate, soothe, protect and rebalance the skin. It is available in our office, on our website, on Amazon and on orarxskin. com. Our unique HA Calming Balm and HA Soothing Serum work together to boost some of our favorite procedures, like microneedling with PRP or laser treatments. Patients use it on dry, irritated skin after surgeries, and we have even heard of patients using it as an aftershave and as a baby diaper rash cream!”
