✨ GLWM: Get Lasered With Me — The Dr. Palm Edition ✨

Come behind the scenes as I put our newest laser technology at Art of Skin MD to the test—on myself.

Meet AVAVA®, a next-generation, non-ablative laser designed to deliver energy beneath the skin with remarkable precision. Its proprietary Focal Point Technology™ uses patented Conical Ring Geometry to concentrate energy at a targeted depth while selectively sparing the epidermis and surrounding tissue.

Translation? We can deliver meaningful energy where we want it while minimizing unnecessary disruption at the skin’s surface.

In this video, I’m treating my face AND neck with goals I hear from my patients every day:

✨ Firmer, tighter-looking skin
✨ Improved skin texture and quality
✨ Smoother, more refined skin
✨ Improvement in the appearance of pores and signs of aging
✨ Collagen remodeling without an ablative treatment

And AVAVA isn’t just for the face. Its precision technology allows us to customize treatments for the neck and areas of the body where improving skin quality, texture and laxity is the goal.

One of the features I’m most excited about? AVAVA was engineered with ALL skin tones in mind and can be used across Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI.

As a dermatologist and laser surgeon, I’m always looking for technologies that give me greater control over exactly WHERE and HOW energy is delivered into the skin. AVAVA’s unique beam geometry is what makes this platform especially interesting to me—and you can see the science behind it in the video.

And yes…I like to experience these treatments myself before recommending them to my patients. 😉

There are differences between sunscreens, though, and some are better than others. “Understanding how to read labels and choose the right sunscreen for your skin can make a huge difference in both protection and whether you’ll actually wear it consistently,” says Dr. Palm. “For people with sensitive skin, melasma, rosacea or ingredient sensitivities, choosing the right formula becomes even more important because the wrong product can sometimes worsen irritation or pigmentation issues.”
