It’s spring — and what happens every spring? That familiar urge to clear out the old and welcome in the new. There’s a reason the phrase “spring cleaning” exists.
That got me thinking: what’s “new”? Or, more precisely, what’s “trending as new”? So I did a little digging — and here’s what I found. Most of it had me quietly chuckling. A surprising number of things currently filling your TikTok and Instagram feeds — glow-up transformations, before-and-after threads, “my skincare saved me” serums, supplement stacks with very impressive names — are things we have been quietly doing at TREVI for years. And honestly? It’s a little entertaining. So much of what’s going viral right now, we’ve been doing here. Really? Yup.
Also: May is Mother’s Day month. I’ve always been a fan of the “birthday month” concept — so why not the “Mother’s Day month”? Whether you’re a mom, a dog mom (or cat mom), a best-friend mom, or simply yourself — we have a full month of special pampering for all of the moms.
Here are just a few things the internet has “just discovered” that have already been quietly happening at your appointments.
Spring Glow-Up Transformations
The #glowup tag currently sits at over 42 million posts on TikTok alone. Every other Reel is someone doing a dramatic reveal — different lighting, different skin, a sharper jawline. Some of it is filters. But a lot of it is real, and what’s driving it is something we’ve believed in for a long time: consistent, science-backed skin care actually works.
What you’re seeing on your feed isn’t magic. It’s a series of good decisions made over time — the right treatments, the right products, the right support for your skin’s own biology. That’s the TREVI approach. It always has been.
“Your glow-up doesn’t have one before. It has a hundred small afters.”
We’re putting together a collection of real TREVI before-and-afters to share with you. Stay tuned — they’re coming to our Instagram this month, and they’re the kind of results that no filter can explain.
PDO Thread Lifts — The Internet Is Obsessed. We’ve Been Here.
Right now, PDO thread content is absolutely everywhere. “Watch your face lift without surgery” is the hook, and it’s pulling millions of views. Creators are showing their threads being placed, their results at two weeks, their jawlines at three months. Audiences are riveted.
What they’re discovering, we’ve known for years.
If you missed my April newsletter, I went deep on this one — a decade of thread lift history, why I exclusively use MINT™ PDO by HansBiomed, their three separate FDA clearances, and yes, my own personal thread lift experience that I am documenting on Instagram in real time. Read the full article here — it is worth the read.
PDO (polydioxanone) threads have been a cornerstone of our treatment menu for a long time. The principle is elegant: biodegradable sutures are precisely placed beneath the skin to create an immediate mechanical lift — and then, as they dissolve over months, they stimulate collagen synthesis in exactly the areas that need it most. The result is a face that looks naturally refreshed, not pulled.
“PDO threads aren’t new. They’re just finally getting the attention they deserve.”
If you’ve been curious about thread lifts — or if you’ve been watching those videos and wondering “could that work for me?” — book a consultation. We’ll show you exactly what’s possible for your face.
Citicoline & L-Theanine — Wait, Isn’t That in RESIST?
The wellness corner of the internet has discovered two ingredients generating a lot of excitement right now. Citicoline is being called a “game-changer for brain health” and a nootropic beauty breakthrough — the idea that looking good starts with a brain firing on all cylinders. L-Theanine is having its moment as the calm, focused, cortisol-lowering supplement that also happens to make your skin glow by reducing stress-driven inflammation.
Both are being sold as brand-new discoveries.
“The internet found citicoline and L-theanine in 2026. I put them both in a single formula in 2016.”
RESIST was designed from the beginning to support the body’s stress response, cognitive resilience, and the downstream effects that chronic cortisol has on everything from your skin to your hormones to your cardiovascular system. Citicoline was included for its role in phospholipid synthesis and cellular membrane integrity — the same mechanisms now being highlighted in nootropic beauty content. L-Theanine was chosen for its ability to promote alpha brain-wave states: calm focus without sedation, cortisol modulation, and genuine neuroprotection.
If you’re taking RESIST, you were ahead of this trend before the trend existed. If you’re not yet — this is a good month to start. Ask about RESIST at your next appointment or reach out directly and we’ll get it to you.
Mineral Sunscreen — SPF Finally Got Its Glow-Up
Mineral sunscreen is officially trending. Searches are up over 124% year over year, and the content is everywhere: non-ghosting formulas, tinted SPFs, niacinamide-infused sunscreens, hyaluronic acid sun protection. The narrative has finally shifted from “sunscreen is a chore” to “sunscreen is the most powerful anti-aging product you own.”
We agree. We’ve always agreed.
TREVI has carried a full medical-grade mineral sunscreen line for years. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide — the actives in mineral formulas — aren’t just safer for sensitive and reactive skin. They’re broader-spectrum, more photostable, and less likely to contribute to the hormonal disruption concerns linked to some chemical UV filters. For our patients — many of whom are doing serious work on their skin with treatments, peptides, and actives — mineral SPF is the non-negotiable final step.
Our current line includes options for:
- Everyday wear with a lightweight, skin-toned finish (no white cast)
- Post-treatment protection for sensitive or compromised skin
- Mineral SPF with added antioxidants and peptides
- Tinted formulas that work as both SPF and primer
We’re happy to walk you through the full line at your next visit, or reach out and we’ll match you to the right formula based on your skin type and how you wear it day-to-day.
New Product Highlight — GoHydrate Electrolytes with Creatine
GoHydrate is proud to reintroduce its original performance formula: a science-driven, sugar-free, 5-electrolyte blend with added creatine, engineered to support optimal hydration, strength, and recovery for athletes and active adults. Designed as an isotonic solution when mixed with 16 oz of water, this formula is crafted to allow electrolytes to move efficiently from the gut into the bloodstream, helping maintain fluid balance without the need for added sugars.
This next-generation formula combines five key electrolytes — sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus — to support muscle function, nerve conduction, and overall cellular hydration before, during, and after activity. Taken 30 minutes before a workout and again post-exercise, athletes have reported less fatigue, reduced post-workout “burn,” and a faster sense of recovery compared with their usual hydration routines.

Mother’s Day Glow-Up — For Mom, Your Best Friend, Your Dog Mom, or Yourself
May is Mother’s Day month, and at TREVI, that means one thing: it’s the perfect time to give the gift of a genuine, no-filter glow. Whether you’re treating someone you love or finally deciding it’s your turn — we have treatments that deliver results you can feel the moment you walk out the door. Here are a couple of fan favorites.
Diamond Glo
Diamond Glo is a professional-grade resurfacing and infusion treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and delivers customized serums into the skin simultaneously. The result is immediate: softer, clearer, more luminous skin with no downtime. It’s the kind of treatment that makes you want to skip foundation — because your skin simply looks better on its own.
Perfect for: All skin types. First-timers. Anyone who wants to look genuinely refreshed with zero recovery time.
Cryo Facial
Our Cryo facial uses precision cooling technology to stimulate circulation, reduce puffiness, boost collagen, infuse skin-boosting products, and leave skin visibly tighter and more radiant — in just 20 to 30 minutes. It’s one of those treatments where patients look in the mirror afterward and simply say “oh.” It’s that kind of result.
Perfect for: Puffiness, loss of firmness, dull skin, acne, and anyone who wants an instant lift with nothing invasive.
“This month, a glow-up is the best gift you can give — to someone you love, or to yourself.”
Both treatments are available individually or as a combined experience. Gift certificates are available — reach out directly and we’ll take care of everything. The only thing you need to do is show up.
Special offer: Buy 3 of either a Cryo Facial or a Diamond Glo, get the 4th FREE. Offer valid to new and returning patients. Cannot combine promotions or services.
