Dr. Chris Croley and Jerry Drinkard, NP kick off 2026 with a deep-dive into the treatments they’re most excited about right now — and how to supercharge results by stacking treatments safely.

This week is a practical breakdown of what they’re using at Skin & Tonic (Pace, FL) to help with skin laxity, texture, pigment, jawline/jowls, and acne scars — without chasing an “overfilled” look. Chris also explains bioregenerative aesthetics in plain language: treatments that encourage your body to rebuild collagen and elastin for more natural-looking improvement over time.

You’ll hear:

1. Why the upgraded Melia RF microneedling is a comfort + safety win
2. What high-powered red light therapy can support (hair, inflammation, collagen)
3. How NewbaSKIN hydrodermabrasion fits into glow, decongestion, and regenerative add-ons
4. The real story on RF microneedling “horror stories” — and how to avoid them
5. How skin type (Fitzpatrick scale) affects settings and safety, especially for deeper skin tones
6. Who should get a consult first (active infection, autoimmune flare, and more)
