#1. Anti Aging Treatment: Hollywood Laser Peel®
Treats: Fine Lines, Pigmentation
Results: Immediate as well as improve over time; long lasting
Downtime: None
Number of Treatments: 1
This treatment is called the Hollywood Laser Peel because it is so popular with celebrities – especially for a quick refresh before red carpet events. Its specific laser frequencies target the color in the unwanted pigmentation, disintegrating the discolored cells while leaving the rest of the surrounding skin unharmed – reducing or eliminating age spots, sunspots, dark spots melasma, and other discolorations and signs of aging.
And, by penetrating the skin on a deep dermal level, the laser heat energy stimulates the body’s renewed production of collagen and elastin fibers – which strengthens, smooths, and tightens the skin. This not only eliminates lines and wrinkles, but restores elasticity to the skin, so it “snaps back” in place like it did when you were young – eliminating sagging and wrinkling.
#2. Anti Aging Treatment: Morpheus8 RF Microneedling
Treats: Fine Lines, Pigmentation, Skin Laxity, Facial Fat & Jowls
Results: visible in 3 weeks to 3 months; results improve over time; long lasting
Downtime: None (redness for up to a week)
Number of Treatments: 1 to 3
Morpheus8 is one of the latest technologies in skin resurfacing and anti aging, combining microneedling with radiofrequency to achieve facial remodeling on a much deeper cellular level than microneedling alone. In addition to offering all of the skin resurfacing benefits of standard microneedling, Morpheus8 offers “Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device” (SARD – which melts fat and tightens skin.
This creates smoother, younger facial contours – banishing jowls and contouring the lower face.
#3. Anti Aging Treatment: PRP Vampire Facial®
Treats: Fine Lines, Pigmentation, Redness, Scars
Results: visible in 3 weeks to 3 months; results improve over time; lasts a year or more
Downtime: None; redness for a few days
Number of Treatments: 3 to 6 – spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart
The PRP Vampire Facial® is another anti aging treatment that is popular with celebrities like Kim Kardashian, supermodel and actress Bar Refaeli, and countless others.
During this 100% natural anti aging treatment, the patient’s own blood is drawn, as it would be for a routine blood test. Then the blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate out the liquid plasma – which contain up to 10 or more times the “growth factor” of plain blood. This “Platelet Rich Plasma” or “PRP” – is then injected back into the face using ultra-fine microneedles.
The concentrated growth factor then stimulates the skin to produce collagen and elastin at an accelerated rate – which smooths out wrinkles, fills in facial lines, and improves skin tightness, tone and elasticity. The result is a dramatically more youthful appearance.
#4. Anti Aging Treatment: FaceTite
Treats: Loose Skin, Jowls, Lines, Wrinkles
Results: immediate; lasts up to five years.
Downtime: 3 to 5 days
Number of Treatments: 1
FaceTite is a more dramatic and even longer-lasting anti aging treatment now available at Better U in the Hoboken area. This bladeless, scarless, less-invasive treatment is an excellent alternative to a surgical facelift. FaceTite can substantially tighten sagging, loose skin in the face and neck areas.
It delivers precision radiofrequency heat energy to precise areas of the face for skin contraction without excisional surgery. This enables Dr. Gor to define and sculpt the face with unparalleled detail – on even small and delicate areas of the face including the eyelids!
Because it is radiofrequency and not laser, FaceTite does not have the pain of many other skin tightening procedures – including than Ultherapy and Thermage – while offering more impressive results that can last up to five years or longer.
#5. Anti Aging Treatment: VShape Facial Tightening
Treats: Loose or Sagging Skin, Jowls, Facial Fat
Results: immediate plus improves over time; lasts up to three years.

The result is a dramatically younger looking face and neck area.
