Timeless Glow

  • January 2, 2025
  • FLMag Staff
In a world where age is just a number, Fort Lauderdale’s experts in skincare, wellness and beauty share their secrets to maintaining radiant, youthful skin.

The Innovator

Dr. Nicole Martin brings a unique perspective to the world of anti-aging. As a board-certified anesthesiologist and former Real Housewives of Miami star, she blends science and glamour through her partnership with Exoceuticals. “Exosomes are game-changers,” she says. These tiny messengers deliver growth factors and nutrients directly to skin cells, promoting repair and regeneration at a deeper level.

For Dr. Martin, Exoceuticals bridges the gap between nature and science. “It’s about real results,” she says. Her top tip? Consistency. “Skincare is a marathon, not a sprint. Stick to your routine and you’ll see long-term benefits.”

Her own routine is refreshingly simple. “In the morning, cleanse, apply a vitamin C serum and never skip SPF. At night, cleanse again, use an exosome-based serum and finish with a hydrating moisturizer.” She also swears by weekly exfoliation to keep her skin glowing.

For those juggling busy schedules, she advises investing in products that multitask. “Exoceuticals’ EXO H-Serum hydrates and rejuvenates—it’s a staple in my routine,” she says.

Glow From Within

Amanda Cicatello of Juice Bar & Cafe is the ultimate evangelist for beauty from the inside out. “Skin health starts in the gut,” she explains. Her secret weapons? Hydration and fiber. “Coconut water, cucumber, pineapple, celery—these are your skin’s best friends.”

Cicatello’s passion is reflected in her menu, packed with nutrient-dense options designed to nourish body and skin. Her go-to recommendation? The Daily Greens Smoothie. “It’s a powerhouse for hydration and gut health, which are essential for looking youthful,” she says.

But as important as what you consume is what you avoid. Fried foods, sugary drinks and ultra-processed snacks are all no-nos for glowing skin. “Your diet shows up on your face,” she warns.

Her advice for those struggling to stay hydrated? “Think of water-rich fruits and veggies as part of your hydration plan. They help keep your skin plump and smooth.”

The Spa Whisperers

Youthful skin isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling confident. At Amaira Med Spa and Surgical, treatments like microneedling and wrinkle relaxers (think Botox or Dysport) combine to deliver game-changing results. “Microneedling stimulates collagen by creating tiny, controlled injuries in the skin,” their team explains. These micro-injuries trigger healing responses, reducing wrinkles, acne scars and uneven tone. Add a wrinkle relaxer, and the combination smooths existing lines while preventing new ones.

But great skincare isn’t confined to the treatment room. Amaira Med Spa and Surgical champions a simple yet effective at-home regimen: cleanse, hydrate, protect and repair. Their star products include SkinBetter Science’s AlphaRet Overnight Cream, which tackles wrinkles and texture as you sleep, and Alastin’s HydraTint Pro Mineral Sunscreen. This multitasker offers SPF protection and a flawless glow.

When asked about the most common skincare mistake, the answer is unanimous: neglecting sunscreen. “It’s like brushing your teeth,” they emphasize. “Non-negotiable.”

For those who want to dip their toes into anti-aging but have busy schedules, they recommend multitasking products like Alastin’s HydraTint. “It’s skincare and makeup in one step,” they say. “Perfect for on-the-go lifestyles.”

The Sculptor of Radiance

For Dr. Sanam Zahedi, every face is a canvas and every patient a masterpiece. Her approach to facial rejuvenation blends science and artistry to achieve results as natural as they are transformative. “Each patient has a unique anatomy, aging pattern and goal,” she says. This personal touch informs her strategies, whether she’s lifting sagging skin, softening wrinkles or restoring lost volume.

Her surgical toolbox includes procedures like eyelid surgery, mini-facelifts and neck lifts—each addressing the root cause of aging for long-lasting results. Yet, Dr. Zahedi also emphasizes the power of injectables like Botox, Dysport and dermal fillers to refine and refresh. “The key is subtlety,” she insists. “You want people to notice you look great, not wonder what you’ve done.”

Her philosophy extends to non-invasive treatments. Microneedling, chemical peels and laser therapies are her go-to recommendations for enhancing skin tone and texture without downtime. And if you’re seeking a fountain of youth in a bottle? Dr. Zahedi says, “Sunscreen is everything. I wish I had taken it seriously sooner!”

Her most memorable patient feedback? Post-eyelid surgery, many patients hear the same phrase from loved ones: “You look so refreshed!” For Dr. Zahedi, it’s proof that her methods work—not just to enhance appearance but to restore confidence.

In Fort Lauderdale, where the sun shines year-round, embracing these principles isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about preserving the health of your skin. As Dr. Zahedi puts it, “Facial rejuvenation is an ongoing journey. The goal is to feel confident and radiant in your own skin.”
