September 9 is an especially meaningful date for Skin Spot Laser Club founders Michael and Emily Tichy. On the very same day, Skin Spot will celebrate five years at our Cape Coral location, while Michael and Emily celebrate their 26th wedding anniversary.
Both anniversaries fall on September 9, but we’re celebrating all month long with special offers throughout September.
That means five years of lasers, injectables, transformations, friendships, and helping our patients feel more confident—and 26 years of marriage, raising a family, building businesses, navigating life’s changes, and still finding ways to keep things fun.
So, what are Michael and Emily’s secrets to looking younger, feeling better, and staying connected after 26 years?
The honest answer is that it isn’t one treatment. It is refusing to accept that every uncomfortable change is “just part of getting older.”
Wrinkle-relaxing treatments and advanced laser procedures can make an incredible difference in how we look. Michael and Emily believe in using treatments consistently and strategically—not waiting until every concern becomes more difficult to correct.
But looking refreshed is only one part of aging well.
You can have smoother skin and fewer sunspots and still struggle with low energy, poor sleep, changing hormones, reduced confidence, or a lack of interest in intimacy. That is why Skin Spot takes a more complete approach to helping patients look and feel their best.
Here are five lessons Michael and Emily have learned along the way.
The best aesthetic results rarely come from chasing one dramatic treatment every few years.
Consistent skincare, wrinkle-relaxing treatments, and properly timed laser procedures can help maintain your appearance instead of constantly trying to reverse years of accumulated damage.
Michael and Emily’s approach is simple: address concerns early, choose treatments that make sense, and aim to look refreshed—not like a different person.
Aesthetic treatments should enhance your natural features and help you feel more confident when you look in the mirror.
Professional treatments can do a lot of the heavy lifting, but what you put on your skin every day matters just as much.
One of Michael and Emily’s secrets is choosing professional skincare based on results—not trends, pretty packaging, or whatever happens to be popular online.
Skin Spot carries several carefully selected skincare lines because every patient’s skin, concerns, and budget are different. Our professional skincare options include:
Each line serves a different purpose. Some products are selected to support smoother texture, hydration, firmness, and more even-looking tone, while others are designed specifically for acne-prone or sensitive skin. Our team helps patients select products based on their individual skin instead of recommending the same routine to everyone.
The right skincare routine does not need to include a dozen different products. It needs to contain the right products for your skin, used consistently.
Daily sunscreen is nonnegotiable—especially in Florida. Florida Babe Mineral Sunscreen, available in tinted and non-tinted formulas, provides daily sun protection while helping protect the investment you have already made in laser treatments, injectables, facials, and professional skincare.
The secret is not using more products. It is choosing products that produce visible results and using them consistently.
Hormonal changes can affect far more than appearance. Depending on the individual, they may contribute to concerns involving energy, sleep, mood, concentration, body composition, sexual comfort, and libido.
At Skin Spot, Michael is an expert in hormone therapy and treats both men and women. He evaluates each patient’s symptoms, medical history, and laboratory results to determine whether hormone therapy may be appropriate and to develop an individualized treatment plan.
Emily personally uses medically managed bioidentical hormone therapy and credits it with helping her address the symptoms she was experiencing and feel more like herself.
Together, Michael and Emily understand hormone therapy from two different perspectives: Michael as an experienced medical provider and Emily as a patient who has personally experienced its benefits.
Hormone therapy is not one-size-fits-all. It requires a medical consultation, appropriate laboratory testing, a review of individual risk factors, and continued monitoring. The goal is not to make everyone’s hormone levels the same—it is to help each patient address their specific symptoms safely and appropriately.
Sexual wellness is health and wellness, but many people are still embarrassed to talk about it.
Changes in desire, sensation, comfort, or sexual performance can affect confidence, emotional closeness, and relationships. These concerns are common, but that does not mean they must be silently accepted.
Emily has personally chosen the O-Shot, while Michael has chosen the P-Shot. They credit these PRP-based sexual-wellness treatments, together with open communication and a continued commitment to intimacy, with helping them address personal changes and keep the fun in their marriage after 26 years.
The O-Shot and P-Shot use platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient’s own blood. They are offered as options for appropriate patients seeking support for certain sexual-wellness concerns.
These treatments are not substitutes for a healthy relationship—and they certainly cannot guarantee a happy marriage. However, addressing physical symptoms may help remove some of the obstacles that can make intimacy more difficult.
Every patient is different, and research involving PRP-based sexual-wellness treatments is still developing. Results vary and cannot be guaranteed. A confidential medical consultation is necessary to determine whether treatment may be appropriate.
Treatments can help you feel more confident and comfortable, but they cannot replace communication, laughter, affection, or making time for your relationship.
Michael and Emily’s real secret is that they still genuinely enjoy each other. They work together, build together, laugh together, and refuse to let getting older mean giving up the parts of life that make them feel young.
Sometimes aging well means treating sun damage. Sometimes it means choosing better skincare. Sometimes it means addressing hormonal symptoms or having an honest conversation about intimacy.
And sometimes it simply means remembering to have fun together.
