JeNu: the “magic wand” for skin care?

Posted by: Dr. Baxter - 5 days 5 hours ago

As the Chief Medical Advisor to JeNu, the new ultrasound skin care system, I have to say that it sounds a bit unscientific to say JeNu is a magic wand, but that’s what early users are saying about it.

This year it is tummy tucks and breast lifts, in combination called the “mommy makeover” because changes to the breast and abdomen from pregnancy are usually the motivation. Seems like we are doing 3 per week.
