The last few weeks have been busy! NicholsMD has finally moved to our bigger and brighter space at 50 Old Field Point Road, Third Floor in Greenwich. We’re so excited for you to experience “NicholsMD 2.0” and provide you with the latest, most advanced skincare solutions to help you look and feel your absolute best (more details below!).
To celebrate the move, my staff and I had a Girls-Night-Out at Pinot’s Palette. While we’re not the next Picassos, it was a fun evening after all the hard work on the move. Here’s a snapshot!
My husband and I have had our own night-outs recently, attending concerts like Beyonce, Sting and Paul Simon! And we had a great time this past Sunday as sponsors of a Greenwich Polo event. What a fun, family outing on a gorgeous day!
My middle one, Peyton, not in the photo because my poor guy was under-the-weather that day!
We’re looking forward to seeing you in the new space, so you can feel beautiful, confident and ready to live your best life today and every day!
Best,
Dr. Nichols
We Moved!
NicholsMD has moved into our beautiful and spacious “state-of-the art” boutique located at 50 Old Field Point Road in Greenwich, CT 06830. We’ve taken over the entire third floor!
PS. There is complimentary, covered and uncovered parking behind our new space. There’s a sign that says ‘Private Parking’ – that parking is for you!
Our entrance is located in the front of the building. Take the elevator up to the third floor!
Ask the Aesthetician
Question:Can I use the same products in the summer that I use in the winter months?
Answer: Certain products can be used year-round; but, for the most part, you want to change your skin care routine seasonally.
Our skin will overproduce oil in the heat of summer to help keep it moisturized. In the summer months you should cleanse, exfoliate, treat and prevent sun damage with lighter-weight products.Here are some of my favorite summertime products:
SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser – This cleanser removes excess impurities and oil without drying the skin. Gentle enough to be used several times a day, this non-irritating cleanser conditions, soothes, and calms.
IntraCeuticals Enzyme Exfoliant -This light exfoliator amplifies skin radiance and provides a perfect base for the application of makeup. It contains a combination of carnauba, beeswax and bamboo beads which provide unparalleled exfoliation to reveal a polished and glowing complexion.
SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum – This all-in-one skin rejuvenating treatment improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin tone and texture. No wonder it’s Hollywood’s secret to beautiful skin!
ColoreScience Sunforgettable Loose Mineral Sunscreen–This broad-spectrum sunscreen makes protecting your skin easy, 365 days a year. Perfectly portable and easy to reapply, it offers powerful SPF 50 UVA/UVB protection with sheer, natural-looking coverage. And you can put it right on top of your makeup so you can keep up with your promise to Dr. Nichols to re-apply your sunscreen every two hours!:)
Alyson joined our NicholsMD staff earlier this month as Client Coordinator. She’ll be the first person you meet when you enter our new, Boutique location. She’s joining us after graduating from Pennsylvania State University this past spring. She has a keen interest in cosmetic dermatology, so she’ll be starting nursing school and working with NicholsMD in the fall to pursue her passion. We’re so excited to have her join our staff, and for you to meet her!
Keep this in mind the next time you jump in the water!
While a nice dip in the pool is great on a hot day, nothing beats jumping into the crashing ocean waves. But if you notice an itchy rash start to develop after you get out of the water, you may have been the victim of one of the many tiny critters that live in sea. Here are two of the most common seaborne skin problems to watch out for:
Seabather’s Eruption is an extremely itchy rash caused by Cnidarian jellyfish larvae, often called “sea lice.” It begins a few hours after bathing in the ocean, usually in places along the Atlantic coast. It occurs when these invisible larvae become entrapped under people’s swimsuits, and then release a toxin that leads to the subsequent rash. Therefore, most of the bumps and hives of the rash will be found on the areas of the body that were covered by the swimsuit – i.e. the buttocks, waist and breasts. The eruption can persist for up to 2 weeks. And according to a recent ABC News report, a wide outbreak of these sea lice are expected along the Gulf of Mexico this summer. So if you are in these endemic areas, it’s best to shower with cold water immediately after getting out of the ocean; this will hopefully get off any possible larvae before an eruption starts.
Swimmer’s Itchdiffers from Seabather’s Eruption in that it is found on exposed areas of the body not covered by swimsuits (most often on the legs and chest); and it can occur both in saltwater and freshwater. It is caused a microscopic organism called a cercarieae that leaves its snail host and burrows into the skin of unsuspecting swimmers. After coming out of the water, the bather begins to itch and the rash develops. The incredibly itchy rash comes and goes for several days and then spontaneously resolves. It can be prevented by thoroughly washing, towel-drying, and applying alcohol to exposed body parts after swimming in an endemic area.

A Personal Note from Dr. Nichols
Bonjourno!
That’s about the extent of the Italian I picked up on my recent trip to Italy. My husband, friends and I took a week in Tuscany, Florence and Rome. The wine tours, the food, the shopping… it was a wonderful trip that I won’t forget!
My husband and I in the postcard poppy fields of Tuscany.
Back at the office, my team and I had a great time last Sunday at a New York City Football Club game (that’s NYC’s professional soccer team). My husband’s firm, Cabanillas and Associates, hosted my staff and his employees at one of their sponsored suites. It was a beautiful sunny day so the staff and I used our ColoreScience Unforgettable SPF 30 MineralBrush to reapply our sunscreen without messing up our makeup. It’s a must for the summer season, so you should definitely check it out on our shop page! (And P.S It’s also our Product of the Month!)
Our soon-to-be NicholsMD location is finishing up construction! This means, we’re just a few weeks away from move-in day! I’m so excited for you to see the bigger and brighter Boutique.
I’m looking forward to having you in the boutique to help you feel beautiful, confident and ready to live your best life today and every day!
Best,

Dr. Nichols Reports on the Zika Virus
Dr. Nichols appeared on News12 Connecticut recently and discussed the use of insect repellant in light of the recent epidermic of the Zika virus. The bottom line: DEET is the most effective ingredient in insect repellants and are a must-use this summer to prevent Zika and other mosquito-born illnesses.
Dr. Nichols Shares Safe Ways to Apply Bug Repellent
The American Academy of Pediatrics has certified that DEET in insect repellant is safe to use in children 6-months old and older.
Do not spray aerosol or pump products in enclosed areas.
Do not spray aerosol or pump products directly to your face. Spray your hands and then rub them carefully over the face, avoiding eyes and mouth.
Wash off repellant after returning indoors.
Do not apply DEET near cuts or open wounds.
You can apply DEET and sunscreen together. However, it is recommended that you apply the sunscreen first.
Question: “What is a Microneedling Treatment? Does it hurt? What can I expect?”
Answer: PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. The platelets in our blood are cells designed to heal injuries and are filled with our own natural growth factors. This makes them exponentially more effective than synthetic growth factors in rejuvenating our skin and hair follicles!
Here’s how the procedure goes: a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. The patient’s blood is drawn, spun, and the PRP is separated and prepared for use. The numbing cream is removed. The area is then treated with passes of micro-needling with PRP. Because of the numbing cream, the procedure just feels like a vibrating sensation.
After the procedure, the patient will experience some redness that subsides in 3 to 5 days. Treatments are spaced 3-4 weeks apart with 3 or 6 treatments needed, depending upon what is being treated. Visible changes will develop over the course of several weeks.
In just a few weeks, we’ll be packing things up and heading over to our beautiful and spacious new home located at50 Old Field Point Road in Greenwich. We’ve taken over the entire Third Floor!
This new, convenient location will mean an even better experience for you. In addition to all of the innovative skincare solutions NicholsMD has become known for, we’ll be announcing innovative procedures and services that we know you are going to love. Stay-tuned for exciting updates as we countdown to the move and Grand Opening celebration!
We will notify you by email when we officially move addresses. Until then, all appointments are still being held at our 469 W. Putnam Avenue, Suite 201 Boutique.

A Personal Note from Dr. Nichols
I hope you’re having a productive spring start to the warmer season! Construction is in full swing at the soon-to-be NicholsMD location. I’m so excited for you to see the bigger and brighter space. One of the perks of the new office will be regular Saturday appointments. For now, our current office is scheduling occasional Saturday appointments and evening hours. Click here to schedule!
Over the past two weekends, the NicholsMD team has been honored to participate and sponsor two important fundraising events to support some great causes: the Go the Distance Walk and Family Fun Day, the largest annual fundraiser for Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, and the Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure for breast cancer. Although it rained on both occasions, it couldn’t dampen our enthusiasm!
And it’s always fun seeing many of you at various spring evening events in our community.
Inside our office, we’ve added some new exciting procedures to our list of services such as PRP and microneedling.PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is all-the-buzz right now as an incredibly effective treatment for not only skin aging rejuvenation, but also acne scarring, hair loss, and stretch marks! And microneedling treatments (with hyaluronic acid, growth factors, or PRP) are a great way to improve skin tone and texture with no downtime.
I hope you and your families are enjoying the warmer weather. I’m looking forward to having you in our boutique to help you feel beautiful, confident and ready to live your best life today and every day!
Best,
Dr. Nichols
And Happy Cinco de Mayo from my family to yours!
Ask the Aesthetician
This month we are proud to debut a new addition to our monthly newsletter, called Ask the Aesthetician. Andria Brennan, our medical aesthetician extraordinaire, will be answering one or two frequently asked questions about aesthetic procedures, skin care products, makeup, etc. And please feel free to send her an email if you have a question you would like answered in upcoming newsletters.
Question: If I have a tan, is it ok to get an oxygen facial?
Answer: Yes, It’s completely safe. In fact, it’s quite beneficial to have an oxygen treatment after being in the sun! The oxygen treatment will help the skin quickly heal from the drying and damaging effects of the sun. And the Vitamin C infusion during the oxygen facial acts not only as a powerful antioxidant, but it also leaves your skin plump and hydrated.
I spent most of my life in the sun. From sunny Southern California to the white sand beaches of Hawaii, I always wanted to have the perfect bronzed tan. So of course, sunscreen was not on my radar. Now I’m paying the price! From the oh-so-not-cute freckles all over my face, chest, arms, legs, and back (you get the picture), to the fine lines that are creeping up on my 30-something face, I regret my many hours of lying on the beach and soaking up the sun.
Today, you will not see me without sunscreen on! Let it be in our soggy start to May or the extreme heat of summer, sunscreen is always on and nearby. Because the powerful UV rays that feel oh-so-good, cause more than just freckles and tan lines. They age us prematurely; burst our small blood vessels leaving us red in the face all the time; cause scaly patches, discoloration and most importantly…Cancer!
For the best ways to prevent all of this damage, here are a few tips from suncancer.org.
Seek the shade, especially between 10 AM and 4 PM.
Do not burn.
Avoid tanning and never use UV tanning beds.
Cover up with clothing, including a broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses.
Use a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day. For extended outdoor activity, use a water-resistant, broad spectrum (UVA/UVB), physical (i.e. with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
Apply 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of sunscreen to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside. Reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or excessive sweating.
Examine your skin head-to-toe every month.
See your dermatologist every year for a professional skin exam.
Annual Full Body Skin Exams!
In honor of Skin Cancer Awareness Month, NicholsMD is offering one friend or family member a complimentary full body skin exam at your next appointment with us (valued at $175). We kindly ask that you call or email our office in advance if you plan to take advantage of this Friends and Family May offer!
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US. Skin cancer can affect anyone, regardless of skin color, gender or age. In fact, one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime. These facts may be alarming, but because skin cancer is mainly a behavioral disease, it is highly preventable.
*Expires May 31, 2016 *One Family/Friend Complimentary Screening Per Client *NicholsMD is offering one friend or family member a complimentary full body skin exam at your next appointment with us. Cannot be redeemed on past appointments or cancelled appointments. The screening is done at the time of the existing client’s appointment, and the existing client must be present.

Spring is here, ! And although we can’t complain after having such a mild winter, I’m looking forward to more sunny days and outdoor fun.
Top-of-the-mountain family selfie on last ski trip of the season.
I actually just got back from a warm, girls’ getaway in Palms Springs. It was nice to take a break from the designing and construction efforts that we’ve been putting into the new NicholsMDBoutique (coming Summer 2016!), and spend the weekend catching up with great friends.
Before I left for my trip, I was thrilled to announce to the team that I had hired a new Office Operations Manager, our own Emily Palmer! Many of you already know our Emily well, and realize what capable and caring hands we are in. I couldn’t be more excited about Emily leading NicholsMD into the future and hope you will all give her a big congratulations when you see her next.
The NicholsMD staff has been busy, too! Last week, we had a staff dinner where we celebrated the birthdays of Andria and Vanessa. And on Saturday, we were proud to have a table at the YWCA Persimmon Ball, in support of the YWCA’s essential work in the greater Greenwich community.
And it was so great to see so many of you – fellow board members, clients, and friends – looking fabulous and festive at the American Red Cross Black and White Ball on April 2.
This weekend, NicholsMD will also be hosting a table at the Fairfield County Women’s Expo in Stamford! We’ll be offering mini-oxygen treatments to those who come by our booth, and raffling off Coolsculpting, an Ultherapy brow lift treatment, and New Beauty Test Tubes. We hope to see you there with this free admission pass!
With a bigger and brighter NicholsMD office space under construction, I’m looking forward to having you in our current 469 W. Putnam Avenue, Suite 201 boutique to help you feel beautiful, confident and ready to live your best life today and every day!
Best,
Dr. Nichols
Reintroducing Emily
Our New Office Operations Manager!
I am beyond excited!
Like the rest of the NicholsMD team, I take a tremendous amount of pride in the comfort and care in each and every one of our client’s experience. Although my role has changed, my commitment is still the same: Every client deserves to feel beautiful and confident every day of their life. Your exclusive, boutique experience remains my top priority.
As you may know, I am finishing my M.A degree at Columbia University, so I will continue to be virtual a few days per week. Nonetheless, I’m proud to be your primary point of contact for all client-related questions, request for community donations, and I am always available for your feedback. Thus, if I can be of your assistance, I invite you to email me at emily@kimnicholsmd.com.
Spring ushers in a renewed commitment to skincare, diet, and exercise after a long winter’s hibernation. We offer innovative procedures that will boost your spring renewal and get you ready for a gorgeous summer!
1. Laser hair removal is an especially popular treatment during the spring for men and women. Rid yourself of unwanted hair on backs, legs, arms, chins, upper lips and other areas, so you’re hair-free just in time for summer. Laser hair removal uses beams of light to prevent hair growth. It’s an effective solution to the inconvenience of having to shave, wax and tweeze regularly. Watch our 4-second video demonstrating laser hair removal on the leg!
2. PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. The platelets in our blood contain growth factors that are exponentially more effective than synthetic growth factors in rejuvenating our skin! Using our own PRP on our skin triggers a natural repair process that results in thicker, softer skin, diminished lines and wrinkles, and improved skin tone. And PRP can even help in hair loss! And PRP treatments can be done all year-long because they are not affected by sun exposure. So come in to find out what all the buzz is about with PRP treatments! Click here to watch our PRP Micro-Needling video!
3. B12 Vitamin Injections help boost metabolism and energy, supporting your exercise and weight loss goals as you work to get into summer shape.
4.CoolSculpting is the world’s #1 non-invasive fat-reduction procedure. It’s an innovative way to contour your body by freezing unwanted fat away with no surgery or downtime. CoolSculpting is FDA-approved to rid double chins, love handles, bra fat, stomach pouches, and stubborn thigh fat. Watch Molly Sims talk about the Coolsculpting procedure!
Whether you’re ready to get rid of embarrassing body hair; are still working on your New Year’s Resolution weight loss goal; or are looking to achieve brighter, tighter skin, NicholsMD has the comprehensive solutions you need to step out this spring looking like your best self.
We even offer at-home visits, so you have the most exclusive, discreet treatments done in the privacy of your own home!
I’m writing this on my train ride home from the American Academy of Dermatologynational conference in Washington D.C. As always, I return from this meeting reinvigorated and full of excitement about all the new technology and procedures coming down the pipeline. Perfect timing for the opening of our new office in a few months!
While I was away, some of our NicholsMD staff attended Taste the Towns, a Greenwich Hospital fundraiser that honored EMS professionals in Greenwich, Harrison, Port Chester, Rye and Rye-Brook.
Andria, Vanessa, and Emily are all smiles at the Taste the Towns event!
On February 25th, the whole team also attended Westchester Girls Night Out, an eventwhich promoted awareness of heart disease, risk factors, and symptoms of a stroke. The models in the Girls Night Out fashion show were heart-disease survivors and medical doctors from the Heart and Vascular Institute in Westchester. It was a beautiful evening that motivated our NicholsMD staff to seek CPR certifications. We’d highly recommended the CPR course that is offered by the Greater New York Chapter of the America Red Cross in our own Greenwich community!

Enjoy the warmer days!
We look forward to having you in the office soon to help you feel beautiful, confident and ready to live your best life today and every day.

There’s No Magic Bullet for Perfect Skin, but Retinol Comes Pretty Close
While it’s true that there is no magic bullet when it comes to perfecting skin, one ingredient comes pretty close: retinol. It’s the reason we’re featuring SkinMedica’s 0.5% Retinol Complex as our product of the month!
We all know the importance of before-bed beauty treatments; your skin’s repair mechanisms work overtime while you sleep. But, if the treatment also features retinol, you get a bonus: wrinkle smoothing, glowing, youthful-looking skin.
Retinol speeds up cell turnover and stimulates collagen production. With consistent use of a topical retinol in your PM skincare routine, you can see improvement of fine lines, dark spots, texture, and tone. While retinol is one of my favorite ingredients for anti-aging products, it’s also my recommendation for acne-prone clients. It helps to clear blackheads and whiteheads, reduce inflammatory pimples and visibly reduce acne scars. Contrary to some popular belief, retinol (best mixed with moisturizer) is perfectly safe to use under the eyes, neck, and chest!

This is my 2nd year as one of the co-chairs of this incredibly inspiring event which honors the influential professional women in our community. Every time I leave the Brava Awards, I’m reminded of how much more I have to do. 🙂 On Saturday, we had our annual NicholsMD Winter Staff Retreat. As a staff, we engaged in teambuilding exercises and personality measurements which highlighted each person’s unique strengths and natural superpower. These empowerment activities were followed by a relaxing afternoon at the spa.

Secrets to Perfect Skin this Winter
With colder temperatures, keeping your skin hydrated and glowing can be a challenge. Here are a few tips to keep your skin looking its best this winter:
Don’t forget about the SPF!
Solution: Every morning apply a moisturizer with SPF30 or more. Glo Tinted Moisturizer is a great choice and will also give you nice coverage without additional makeup. And when you’re on the slopes, bump it up to a full physical sunscreen containing titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide. We recommend EltaMD because it goes on smooth and isn’t chalky.
Avoid licking chapped lips as symptoms generally worsen.
Solution: Over-the-counter Aquaphor is still the best because it traps in moisture much better than waxy lip balms. Apply it multiple times a day in the winter months.
Maintain a bright and hydrated look despite the dreary weather.
Protect the skin around your eyes from wrinkle-causing cold, wind and sun.
Solution: Wear sunglasses on sunny winter days and especially when you’re on the slopes. And for extra-dry skin around the eyes, apply TNS Eye Repair Cream for extra hydration and plumping of creppy skin.
I’m writing to you beachside from beautiful Nicaragua. My husband and I welcomed in 2016 dancing with some great friends and festive Nicaraguans. I hope you also rang in the new year on a great note!
Looking back on last year, some of my most cherished memories included our annual extended family summer trip (this one was to the Outer Banks), appearing on The Dr. Oz show, surprising my daughter with Taylor Swift tickets, and gaining a full (and incredible!!) NicholsMD of Greenwich staff. Here’s a photo of my great team at our holiday party. We laughed, cheers’d, and celebrated a fantastic year built on hard work and friendship.
So what new things do you have planned for 2016? At NicholsMD, we are starting out the year with a bunch of new offerings that we hope you will love!
Pain-Free Procedures! – Most of the procedures we perform are associated with little or no discomfort. However, since everyone is different, and a few procedures (like Ultherapy and Liposonix) do have a deeper impact, we aim to make you experience comfortable and anxiety-free. So we now offer nitrous oxide (aka. ‘laughing gas’), the same safe and effective sedation that you have probably had at the dentist office. So, if you have avoided procedures you’ve been interested in because of fear of discomfort, ask us about this pain-free experience.
B12 Shots with MIC– The “MIC” element in the B12 vitamin boost includes methionine, which helps the liver remove fat! As part of your weight loss and exercise program, these B12-MIC shots boost metabolism and speed up your intended weight loss results. Injections can be administered twice per week. B12-MIC Vitamin boost injections are quick, safe and ONLY $50!
Two ways to get rid of that Stubborn Double Chin – the new CoolSculpting CoolMini applicator to freeze away unwanted under-chin fat AND Kybella– the fat-melting injection treatment that only takes about 20 minutes to administer. If you have an unwanted double chin and want to improve your profile, come in and we’ll consult with you on which service will offer you the best results.
New Monthly Product Specials – Every month we now have a special offer on some of our most effective and beloved products. This month it’s the spot-reducing skin-brightener Lytera! A must-have for any of you who may have spent too much time in the sun on your holiday vacation.
New and Improved Shop Cart on our Website – You asked. We listened. As part of our amazing website overhaul, we now have a shopping page where you can refill all your favorite products that we’ve recommended for your exact skin type. This feature is designed with you in mind, so no matter which island or mountain you’re vacationing on, you’re able to refill your favorite skincare products.
Continue to stay tuned for a very exciting announcement that will be coming in the next couple of months!
Enjoy the fresh start of a new year and let us help you feel beautiful, confident and ready to live your best life today and every day!
Best,
Dr. Nichols

The Non-Surgical Liquid Lift
Results-wise, surgery used to be the only go-to for turning back the hands of time; but now, ‘non-invasive’ is the way to go. A “Liquid Lift” is the ultimate, non-surgical way to turn back the clock. Using a customized approach, Dr. Kim Nichols can re-volumize areas that have become sunken or hollow, creating a lifted, natural and more youthful look.
What the Client Says About Her Non- Surgical Liquid Lift. “Wow. I’m smooth and I look as good as I feel. My insecurity of always looking tired has been resolved. My favorite improvement is in my cheeks because they don’t sag anymore. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the recovery was as I went to work that afternoon! Dr. Nichols was comforting, too. She walked me through the whole procedure. She knew which areas would be more sensitive, and gave me cream to numb those areas. The results are incredible for being a non-surgical treatment. Thank you!!!” – 50 Year Old Female at NicholsMD of Greenwich
What the doctor says: The Liquid Lift is ideal for men and woman between the ages of ages of 30 to 65+ looking for a more rested look. Clients wanting to reverse the natural signs of aging: eye bags, dark circles, wrinkles, and loose skin, are ideal. The results are also natural and subtle. The benefits, such as minimal downtime, are unbeatable. The myth is that you’ll look fake or over-done; this is not true. This service is particularly successful to achieve a more youthful, natural, subtle, radiant, smoother, and tighter YOU! The Liquid Lift is also recommended for clients that have successfully lost a significant amount of weight. This procedure will lift the sagging skin from facial weight loss!
