Zoom! 2 Teeth Whitening
Dr. John Meola, Dental Associates of New England
Get those not-so-pearly whites back into shape with an in-office teeth whitening treatment, courtesy of Dr. John Meola, the man behind the glowing grins of national beauty queens and the New England Patriots, to name a few. How does it work? “Both the hydrogen peroxide and the ZOOM! light work together to help remove the stain that is built up within the enamel of the tooth at a rapid pace, resulting in peak whiteness in as little as one hour of chair time,” Dr. Meola says. Add an at-home touch-up kit for those pesky stains that just don’t stay away, and now you’ve really got something to smile about. One session $399, Dental Associates of New England, 585 Boylston St., Ste. 2, 857.350.3400
CoolSculpting
Dr. Brooke Sikora, SkinCare Physicians
Higher temps call for fewer clothes—a nightmare for those of us still sporting some extra “holiday cheer.” Fear not: Dr. Brooke Sikora is here to help. Nix those insecurities and slim down with CoolSculpting, the first completely noninvasive technique that makes troublesome bulge a thing of the past, fast. Dr. Sikora uses a contouring method called cryolipolysis to freeze fat. The body then recognizes it as melted and naturally removes it over time. Just one visit can remove as much as 25% of unwanted fat from arms, hips, bra lines and more. Now you really can have your cake and eat it too! Sessions from $700, SkinCare Physicians, 1244 Boylston St., 617.731.1600
