Modern beauty spring 2021

WELCOME
MODERNBEAUTY MAGAZINE
It’s almost impossible to count all the things we’ve learned from our mothers—
how to treat other people, how to navigate change, how to look after ourselves.
But more importantly, we learn that a mother’s love is unconditional, instinctual
and all-consuming. In celebration of Mother’s Day, our lineup inside Modern
Beauty includes some very mom-oriented business, including the final word from a
very special contributor this issue—my mom, Judith Born (page 30).

As spring is a time of revitalization, our med spa experts take a look at some motherly
advice you may have received with regards to skincare, highlighting the tried-and-true
tips and paring down the beauty myths we can set aside (page 08).
Our Patient Profile is expanded a little this time, delivering a cool cross-section of
people who are redefining what it means to be a mom (page 10). We also tackle the
issue of infertility with a few first-hand accounts on the difficulties and distress, both
physical and emotional (page 19).
And my Doctor’s Note (page 26) offers an exploration into the collective trauma we’ve
been suffering for the past year, offering some ways to heal and get back to normal.
The power of ritual and a return to kindness are just two of the ways you can regain
and/or maintain your sanity.
Remember, if you ever need a confidence boost, we’re here to help at the TMB Clinic.
We hope you enjoy this spring issue.
