Published on: 3rd July, 2025

This episode is all about gadgets, devices, and aesthetic game-changers! Dr. Chris Croley, nurse practitioner Jerry Drinkard, and nurse practitioner Allie Ballew break down the most-used, most-loved medical aesthetic devices that drive real results at their clinic, Skin & Tonic in Pace, Florida.

From PLASMA devices like PLEXR and Neogen to the power of the Aerolase Neo Nd:YAG laser, and even the newly installed Quantificare imaging system, we explore the technology behind non-surgical facial rejuvenation, skin tightening, pigmentation correction, mole and tag removal, and ultrasound-based lifting (Ulthera).

🛠️ Topics covered in this episode:

  • Why PLEXR plasma resurfacing is their ride-or-die device
  • Aerolase Neo for melasma, rosacea, skin tone, and collagen

  • Aesthetic ultrasound treatments for deep SMAS layer lifting
  • New tools for documenting results: Quantificare imaging & EMR tips
