Microneedling vs. RF Microneedling: What’s the Real Difference?
If you have been targeted by all the skincare treatments on social media and gone down a Google rabbit hole to understand what the heck they are all about, you’ve probably come across “microneedling” and “RF microneedling.” They sound almost the same, but they’re not. Knowing the difference matters if you want the right treatment for YOUR skin.
Let’s break it down, simply and clearly to help you make the best decision for your treatment plan.
Your Skin Barrier Is Burnt Out. Here’s How to Rebuild It:
When you’re burnt out, it shows. The late nights, the stress, the endless to-do list - your body isn’t the only one whispering (or screaming) for help. Just like your energy reserves, your skin barrier has limits. And when it crashes, your skin is the first to spill your dirty little overwhelm secret to the world. Rude, but true.
The Tattoo Regret Is Real, But So Is Ink Removal That Works
Let’s be honest - not every tattoo ages well (insert awkward face emoji!). You know the ones you’re a little embarrassed to show off, or tell the story behind? Maybe it was a late-night impulse, maybe the design doesn’t feel like “you” anymore, the ink itself just hasn’t stood the test of time, or your boyfriend from when you were 17 isn’t in the picture anymore…. Whatever the reason, tattoo regret is real. The good news? There’s an advanced laser tattoo removal just for that.
Say Goodbye to the “Sneeze & Pee” - Pelvic Health Isn’t TMI - It’s Healthcare
Imagine not having to squeeze your crossed legs together every time you sneeze - What a relief that could be!?

Hormonal Acne in Your 30s & 40s: Understanding Triggers & Effective Solutions from Your Skincare Specialists
Here’s the truth: Breakouts don’t always end after high school. For many women, acne reappears (or stubbornly lingers) well into their 30s and 40s, but it hits differently. Painful cysts around the jawline. Breakouts that last for weeks. A frustrating cycle that feels out of sync with the rest of your life, and a body that can feel foreign. It’s a lot to navigate.
Bonita Babe - You’re not doing anything wrong.
You’re just dealing with hormonal acne, and it has its own rules.

Enter: PicoSure® Pro.

Fading Melasma for Good: How PicoSure Pro Can Help Reverse Sun Damage

Sun, sweat, and injectables - Yes, they can all coexist beautifully, if you play it smart. At Bonita, we know that your summer schedule can be packed with social events, days spent by the pool with your girls, or heading on a sexy vacay with your other half.

Summer Skin Saviors: Post-Sun Repair Using Potenza RFMN & Peptides
Sun-kissed skin is great and all… Until the glow fades and you're left with fine lines, dark spots, and the realization that the sun had a little too much fun with your face. Sun exposure may give you that temporary glow (or even hide a few flaws), but over time, it speeds up aging, breaks down collagen, and leaves you with pigmentation that wasn’t part of the plan.
Beyond the Beach: Managing Rosacea & Sensitive Skin During Hotter Months
Summer might be all about sun-kissed skin and days spent by the pool sipping on sangrias, but for those with rosacea and sensitive skin, the hotter months can feel more like a battle than the sweetness of summer. Heat, sun exposure, and even stress can trigger flare-ups, leaving skin red, irritated, and anything but beach-ready. But don’t worry - You don’t have to hide indoors all season. With a little holistic care, you can keep your skin calm, balanced, and glowing (in the best way).

Hormones & Hyperpigmentation: Why Women’s Health Impacts Skin & How to Treat It
If you’ve ever noticed stubborn dark patches on your face that seem to appear out of nowhere, you’re not imagining things.

One of the biggest culprits? Hyperpigmentation, particularly melasma.
