If you’ve ever dabbled into the world of skincare, you’ve probably heard the buzz about retinol — the gold-standard ingredient known for its ability to boost cell turnover, reduce fine lines, fight acne, and improve skin texture. One of the most common questions we hear at Plumpitupp is, “when should I start using retinol?” Let’s break it down and help you decide when the time is right, and how to start smart!

Looking for a skin refresh that delivers results without harsh downtime? One of our favorite combinations for radiant, even-toned skin is the powerful yet gentle pairing of an IPL Photofacial and AlumierMD’s Renew 30 chemical peel. Both treatments are fantastic on their own - but together, they work in harmony to brighten, smooth, and rejuvenate the skin with greater effectiveness than either can achieve alone.

When it comes to non-invasive body contouring, two names often come up: CoolSculpting and BodyFX by InMode. Both promise fat reduction without surgery, but only one goes beyond fat loss to also tighten skin and smooth cellulite -  and that’s BodyFX.

Cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy unwanted tissue. It’s been used for decades in dermatology, and with innovations like the FreezPen, it’s now more comfortable and accurate than ever before.

The treatment works by applying a fine, targeted jet of nitrous oxide directly to the lesion - freezing the cells from the inside out. Over the next few weeks, the frozen lesion dries up, darkens, and eventually falls off naturally.
