You change your wardrobe for summer, but you stick with the same skin care routine. Yes, there should be similarities in what you do all year round, but you’ve got to give a nod to that one constant of a Manhattan summer — humidity and sun. Since we like to give our laser hair removal… read more
Let’s face it. In New York, we all say how much we love the seasons. “Oh, I could never live in L.A. Who needs 70 degrees and sunny every day?” But even the most ardent lover of cold, snow, and freezing rain certainly welcomes May when the temperatures are really heating up and we spend… read more
As mammals, we’re all familiar with our plethora of hair. That’s right, five million and counting on the average homo sapien. Alas, some of those hairs are more coveted than others. Or at least some are more tolerated. Take our vellus hairs. You know them as peach fuzz. They’re no big deal because they’re very… read more
If you’re over 50 you may remember when icons of male virility were covered with hair. Burt Reynolds comes to mind. He was one of America’s biggest movie stars in 1970s films such as Deliverance and Smokey and the Bandit. And he was one hairy dude. If you’re not that old, simply Google “Burt Reynolds”… read more

In March’s first blog, we delved into some of the nutrients your skin craves coming out of a dark, dry, cold winter. But we couldn’t finish in one blog, so now that we’re officially in spring, let’s get into this skin nourishment a little more deeply. Here are some vitamins, minerals, and other stuff your… read more
New York winters can be tough, especially when we have two feet of snow as we did at the beginning of February. At least now we’re about to come into the Vernal Equinox, which is when most of us turn our thoughts from the dark of winter to the rebirth of spring. Your skin isn’t… read more
When patients come see us at Romeo & Juliette for laser hair removal, they wonder why we can’t remove all of their hair permanently with a single laser treatment.
