    Kilgour MD Bundle
    $150 HOLIDAY2DAY for FREE 2-Day SHIPPING
    SHOP: @kilgourmd.com
    Experience the power of our dual-action system, combining both a defensive and offensive solution for hair thinning. Firstly, The Prevention Scalp Serum shields your scalp and acts as a protective barrier for your follicles to prevent hair fall. This step is followed by The Treatment Scalp Serum, which works to stimulate and stretch the follicles, activating the growth of thicker, glossier hair. The fusion of these two technologies addresses all three types of threats to scalp health: hormonal, environmental and age-related. In clinical trials, the joint action of these products outperformed minoxidil–and without the side effects.

    We are seeing more and more in-office treatments being available for at-home use in 2023. This new device by Silk’n repairs collagen and elastin fibers from the inside out.

    SILK’N ALLWAYS TITAN
    PRICE: $339.99
    SHOP: @Nordstrom.com
    This anti-aging device reduces wrinkles and crow’s feet, restores collagen and elastin fibers, and lifts facial contours without surgery, to be used on all areas of the face and neck.
    Revolutionary technology repairs collagen and elastin fibers from the inside out. Titan technology delivers energy to precise areas beneath the skin to activate your body’s natural restoration process. It also targets superficial sun and age spots. No recovery time is needed. 
    Titan AllWays harmonizes the benefits of three sources of energy—Bi-Polar RF energy, LED light energy, and IR heat energy. This powerful combination creates a safe, painless, and proven result, penetrating the skin to seek out damaged tissue and repair it. The warmth given off by the device stimulates the skin’s renewing properties. The collagen and elastin fibers contract and the skin repairs itself from the inside. From the outside, the skin looks younger and is noticeably tighter.
