The GLOW Story
Dr. Reitman spent years in the operating room alongside surgeons, working in anesthesiology and obstetrics/gynecology at a large academic hospital. That experience shaped everything about how she practices today. She learned to read anatomy under pressure, manage complex patients with calm precision, and prioritize safety above all else.
Her time in surgical settings also revealed a different kind of patient need. She watched women and men light up when they felt good about how they looked. She saw how targeted, thoughtful treatments could restore confidence without requiring invasive procedures or long recovery periods.
Dr. Reitman pursued advanced training in minimally invasive aesthetics, developing deep expertise in injectables, skin rejuvenation, body contouring, and laser treatments. In 2020, she opened GLOW at 15 Broadway, Suite 105 in Cresskill, NJ. The practice was designed from the start as a physician-led boutique experience where every patient receives unhurried, individualized attention.
The GLOW Philosophy
Natural Results, Never Overcorrection
Dr. Reitman follows a "less is more" approach that sets GLOW apart from volume-driven med spas across Bergen County. She believes the best aesthetic work is invisible. Patients should leave looking refreshed and balanced, not altered.
Treatment Plans Built Around You
Every consultation at GLOW begins with a candid conversation about your goals, your facial anatomy, and your daily life. Dr. Reitman does not apply one-size protocols. She evaluates skin condition, bone structure, and tissue quality before recommending a single treatment.
Medical Judgment at Every Step
Unlike practices that delegate treatments to non-physician staff, Dr. Reitman performs or directly oversees every procedure at GLOW. That means board-certified medical judgment informs every injection depth, every laser setting, and every treatment plan adjustment.
Training and Credentials
Dr. Elena Reitman is an Ivy League-trained, board-certified physician. Her medical foundation spans anesthesiology and obstetrics/gynecology, disciplines that demand precision, real-time clinical decision-making, and mastery of patient safety.
