New Radiance Cosmetic Centers - Palm Beach Gardens

I've had two rounds of CoolSculpting in my abdomen and flank area. Followed by three emsculpt treatments. Meg, who did my treatments, was thorough, knowledgeable, and personable . The treatment feels extremely cold at first and is very uncomfortable for the first 10-15 mins after application and then bearable for the rest of the time per section. Pros are that its not invasive, and no recovery time. Cons are that it is time consuming and expensive. Each application takes about 30 mins. Each time I was there it took about 4 -5 hrs. I have seen a difference in the areas that were treated. If you are looking for a subtle change in shape then this may be the treatment for you.

AMAZING results with EMSculpt with Meg at New Radiance - it strengthened, tightened and toned my abdominal muscles. The treatments were quick, painless and there was no downtime. For reference, I am in my 40s and have 3 small children. I eat well and exercise regularly but my abs were weak after 3 pregnancies. EMSculpt was transformative for me! I also had SculpSure treatments with Meg for my inner and outer thighs with great results! My inner and outer thighs are noticeably smaller and it also improved the appearance of cellulite. The skin tightening effect was incredible. Of course, it can be a little uncomfortable during the treatment but it didn’t bother me. For me any discomfort was brief and there was no downtime after the procedure. I have been going to New Radiance for over 5 years and always have a great experience. I have referred several friends and family members. Meg is the best- she’s knowledgeable, experienced and gives honest, helpful recommendations when it comes to treatment options. I also had amazing results with Ultherapy with Karen and highly recommend her. Elisia is fabulous as well. The entire staff is friendly and professional.

I wanted to treat myself. Procure took about 30 mins. They walked me through what was going on my skin in smooth and bright afterward. I got $50 off for a 1st time booking. Followed up with dysport. I would do it agian for a special night out or event. I definitely see an improvement.

I've been lifting, running and into fitness for the last 15 years. Despite working out minimum five days a week and keeping up steady, healthy habits with letting loose some on the weekends, metabolism slowdown, stress of work and having a sick parent, hormones and age caught up to me over the last 2-3 years and I put on weight that no matter what I tried - macro counting (which I still do), increasing training, supplements, etc. - would not budge.
I had chin/neck lipo performed last year a few months before my wedding and adored the results, so this year I took the ultimate plunge and plunked down the cash for lipo of the U/L abdomen, flanks, hips and back. I went with Dr. Neil Goodman, who is based here in the West Palm Beach area. He specializes in liposuction and after going to a couple of other consultations I felt that Dr. G and his team would be the best choice for me.
My procedure was postponed due to COVID, but as Florida re-opened in early May, Laurie from Dr. Goodman's office reached out to me and scheduled everything for May 29. My husband (who is extremely supportive and my freaking rock throughout all of this!) accompanied me. The procedure took about three hours. It's not terrible, but there is some discomfort. The most painful part was having the anesthetic and tumescent fluid injected into multiple sites. Plus, there were a couple of "ouch" parts when the cannula was moved into spots that were right at the edge of not being numb.
After the initial procedure, Dr. Goodman had me stand up so that he could take a 360 look and check for symmetry, along with mark spots where more fat could be removed. Another 10 minutes of touching up and I was done. Nurse Crystal wrapped me in padding and stuffed me into my compression garment (now that was a challenge) and sent me home.
I had a ton of fluid drainage into the afternoon and night. My CG was soaked and as the anesthetic wore off, the pain and soreness took its place. I only used Tylenol 3 (with codeine) the first night. The pain and soreness has been very manageable since.
About 24 hours after the procedure I removed the CG so I could wash and dry it, plus shower. I was freaking shocked to look in the mirror and see immediate results... I may have cried a little! Now, in the 45 minutes that I was without the CG while I hand washed and dried it, plus showered, I did start swelling a bit, which is to be expected. But I notice a massive difference in my belly, my front and side profile, and my back.
I'm only on day two of this journey and I know there will be ups and downs, but it's worth it! I'll be so thrilled to have back the self-confidence I've been missing these last couple of years. I'm already excited to get back into the gym (taking a full seven days off) and improve upon what are already amazing results!
I'll continue to update in the days and weeks ahead.

Had my first post-op appointment today. Went great! Doc is pleased with my progress and stated that I’m where I should be in my healing. He removed approximately five pounds of fat during the procedure. Of course I’m still experiencing swelling, especially in my hips and lower belly, but I know that and the rest of the swelling will continue to subside in the weeks and months ahead.

Lots of bruising, but I’m using arnica cream daily after showering and it is helping. I think I’ll be feeling well enough to do light workouts starting Saturday. Really missing CrossFit, but resting and healing is the priority right now!

Here are a few “coming along” pictures. In the pictures of me sitting and being able to pinch my lower belly slightly, I’m really hoping that’s just continued swelling and that it will subside, and not fat that should have been removed. Any input/thoughts would be great. Otherwise, looooving the way I’m progressing so far. What a journey!

Phew, what a process! My bruising is slowly but surely going away, and I’ve scheduled my first lymphatic drainage massage for tomorrow. I bought a 3-pack in hopes of the massages helping reduce swelling, which is obviously still very prevalent. Most of it is in my hips and lower belly, and my hips are really tender. I’ll have to report back!
Started working out again, taking it light and using good judgment of my capabilities. I bought a bodysuit style faja for working out and wearing under day clothes for a bit and it’s worked out great so far. My showers have apparently also become laundry time for my garments as that’s when I hand wash and then dry them, and wash them in the washer with regular laundry twice a week.
Anyway, here are some progress pics I snapped after a shower. I don’t think there’s a huge difference in just a few days, but my husband thinks so! Not going to lie, putting on the denim shorts felt odd after being so used to the CG. I did feel less “squishy” wearing them now than before the procedure so I’d say that’s a good thing and that all is headed in the right direction :)

Hit the 3-week post-op mark today! Feeling good with some residual soreness of course. I’ve transitioned into a (much tighter, ugh) Stage 2 faja for 12 hours, and wearing the Stage 1 CG for 12 hours. The Stage 2, day by day, gets slightly easier to wear, which means I’m getting smaller. Also continuing with lymphatic massage, which is working WONDERS for swelling and pain.

Including some progress pictures including some between my first and second lymphatic massage.

This was a great experience from beginning to the end. Meg was so nice and helped me feel comfortable in the process. I had excessive stomach fat and no matter how much exercise I did, I couldn't get rid of it. So, she recommended Sculpsure and I'm glad she did. I wanted a non-invasive procedure so this was perfect. I had 2 sessions and the results were great. I did not think it was painful at all. I did my flanks and the front part of my stomach. Thank you so much for the great service and now I have my confidence back!

I initially went to New Radiance for a consultation to have Ultherapy done on my chin. I wanted to have the treatment done as soon as possible and eager for my appointment. Meg Brewster made arrangements to get me in sooner than later which meant she would be doing my treatment. She is amazing!!!

The day of my treatment she was very welcoming. You can tell she really enjoys what she does. By her being professional and friendly, I was confident I had the right person doing my procedure. She took the time to explain the entire process and to answer any questions or concerns I had at any time. Believe me, I was probably that pain in the rear customer that asked a lot of questions before, during and after my treatment. I even asked her about other treatments that would work on different areas. She also called me a couple day after my treatment to check on how I was and if I had any more questions or concerns.

When I came back for my follow up appointment, I was so impressed with my results that I made an appointment to have the rest of my face done. There were area’s on my face that I really struggled with and she took extra care of those areas for me. I asked her why she would do that, her response was, “because I take care of my clients and want you to be happy with your results.”

I now have to wait a few months for the gradual process to take shape but, I am confident that I will be happy with the results. I highly recommend having Meg at New Radiance. She is a true gem.

I had the best experience with the facility in Palm Beach Gardens! Not only were my results amazing, my tech Mandy TePoel was such an wonderful person! She made the entire experience delightful and was always cheerful and very informative. I will be going back next year to see her and receive cool sculpting again!
