BY MONICA DIAS T he holiday season is upon us! Now is the time to get together with family and friends and bask in their warmth and affection. And for many of us, this might be the first in-person holiday season in a long time. It is then only natural that we would want to look our best, whether it be by trying out a new haircut, updating our wardrobe, or even getting a quick, in-and-out cosmetic procedure. Dr. Michael Ellis, DO, known as Dr. Mike to his clients, knows plenty about the latter. A graduate of the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine at Virginia Tech, Dr. Mike began training and practicing aesthetic medical procedures while working as a hospitalist at Hackensack Meridian Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank, NJ. After serving as a front-line medical provider at Saint Mary's Medical Center in Passaic, NJ, during the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic in the area, he pivoted fully to aesthetic medicine, which he calls "the happy field of medicine." From there, in addition to serving as a lead investigator for MD360 and Wontech where he developed the Sandro Dual Lift, among other projects and collaborations, he opened Keep Glowing Medical Spa in Tinton Falls, NJ. There, Dr. Mike and his team provide the most extensive collection of non-surgical, in-and-out cosmetic and wellness treatments in South Jersey. And according to Dr. Mike, the holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year at Keep Glowing Medical Spa. It is not hard to see why. A quick in-and-out cosmetic procedure that yields immediate results without surgery or downtime can be very attractive to those looking to spruce up a bit in time for the holidays. According to Dr. Mike, there are three cosmetic procedures that you should try this holiday season. Three In-and-Out Cosmetic Procedures to Spruce Up Your Holiday Season V U E N J .C O M 124
