NEXT-HEALTH LAUNCHES “PMS-LESS PACKAGE” TO HELP COMBAT THOSE PESKY SYMPTOMS

November 9, 2016

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

WHAT: Next Health just opened on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles and it’s set to become the leading destination for health, wellness and beauty in the hood!

What is it? Well, they offer a range of customized services featuring state-of-the-art, holistic medical treatments and beauty services curated by seasoned medical professionals. With a modern, minimalist and chic design, Next Health’s experience veers away from the traditional ‘cold’ feeling of a medical office and instead is cultivating a new environment for the future of health and wellness services.

As part of their launch, Next Health is offering a new PMS-Less package. The $299 package (Retail Value $400) includes a combination of cryotherapy, IV therapy, and supplements. Leading causes of PMS include:

Chemical changes in the brain
Low levels of vitamins
Mineral deficiency
Hormone and chemical imbalances

“PMS is caused by a hormonal change resulting in pain, low energy, water retention, headaches and occasionally mood disturbances,” says the PMSLess package creator, the renowned Dr. Darshan Shah, “The good news is that most of these symptoms can be alleviated with good nutrition and hormone optimization! Next Health offers a package designed to target the specific concerns of women during the most difficult time of their cycle.”

The Next Health PMS-Less Package includes treatments that have been specifically designed to combat the symptoms that come along with PMS. Two sessions of cryotherapy will create chemical and hormonal balance within the body and aid in maintaining one’s mood. Instant “Good Vibes” will be felt thanks to Norepinephrine and guest will have an improved ability to handle stress.

I was so excited to try the PMS-Less IV Therapy session – which utilizes specifically selected vitamins that encourage “feel good” neurotransmitters, reduce bloating, swelling, headaches and appetite fluctuations. The IV cocktail, which is administered while I was in a big comfy chair, for around 25 minutes, also features minerals that are not only considered “natures tranquilizers” and work as pain relievers but also help produce energy and enhance mood. The amino acids included in this well rounded blend help to balance hormones and work well to level out blood sugar which reduces food cravings.

I was given one bottle of Next Health PMS-Less supplement to support a regular menstrual cycle as well as metabolism of progesterone, a hormone that is important to ovarian function and to reproductive health. The supplement helps relieve PMS-related water retention, cramping, breast tenderness and mood swings. One box of Happy Bars, a no- guilt, mood boosting chocolate snack, will also come with the PMSLess package.

“Up to this point, women have been offered several bandaid options for these complaints. All they really want is a way to alleviate the issue so they can feel like themselves again,” says Next Health’s Vice President of Operations, Wendi Michelle, “I am very excited about the PMS-Less package we are offering at Next Health. Finally, an option that is designed to correct internal imbalances and provide relief naturally and effectively.”

Jennifer at RR Aesthetics (Rand Rusher) for Injectables

October 26, 2016

We all know Rand Rusher is The Go To for injectables. Believe me, as someone whose job it is to share all the greatest in the field in LA, he makes it very hard to spread the wealth! Rand’s eye is about proportion and balance and never about going for a “look”. He is way too meta to get caught up in trends or style. Oh, the times I begged for lip filler only for him to roll his eyes and say “please, your lips are fine, missy” but fine we will do a TOUCH. When my au natural friends who made it to 40 without touching their faces finally caved, I sent them to Rand and they never looked back, except to ask me why I didn’t send them sooner.

That being said, his office is staffed with the most highly skilled technicians who have mastered the craft under his watch. So now, when my girls go for touch ups, they don’t even bother trying to get in with Rand (good luck!). We are all happy as clams with whomever we see!

So, I was over the moon for the chance to try out Jennifer for my last Botox touch up. The more RN’s I have in his office in my Groomed LA rolodex (yes, I still use that word) – the more wonderful people I can confidently send you to!

Jennifer is fantastic. And while everyone trains under Rand, they are not clones. Everyone comes with their own special something. It’s a given that her eye is fantastic and what I loved about Jennifer was her attentiveness to my needs, as a patient. She had no agenda, did not swoop in and start telling me what I needed. My “consult” was a healthy back and forth. She was tuned in, open, honest and simply delightful.

Here is a bit more about her. For your next touch up, I can’t recommend her more!

Jennifer Izzarelli is a Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist, Certified Plastic Surgery Nurse and a Board Certified Acute Care Nurse Practitioner.

She holds her board certification through the American Nursing Credentialing Center (ANCC) and Plastic Surgical Nursing Certification Board (PSNCB) and is a member of American Society of Plastic Surgical Nurses (ASPSN)

Jennifer began her career in aesthetics working at Harbor UCLA hospital in the plastic and reconstructive Surgery department. With a love for cosmetics Jennifer began studying cosmetic injections over four years ago. Her experience and knowledge in the OR has made her transition into the Aesthetic field of cosmetic Injectables seamless. Her ability to visualize underlying facial muscle and bone structure allows her to be precise in the facial enhancement process.

Just as important is Jennifer’s aesthetic eye – it aligns perfectly with RR Aesthetics philosophy of keeping our patients looking natural by enhancing the features they were born with. Jennifer was hand selected to join the RR Aesthetics team in 2014 and is the perfect fit for our team at RR Aesthetics.

New Spa Alert in Pacific Palisades: SkinxFive by Dr. Ava Shamban

October 23, 2016

When you want to feel rested, you escape to the spa. When you want results, you make an appointment with the dermatologist. If only there was a destination where you could pop in on your lunch break and emerge an hour later feeling relaxed, restored and looking ten year younger. Now there is!

With SkinxFive (skin-times-five), Dr. Ava Shamban — one of L.A.’s most renowned celebrity dermatologists (and a GLA top doc!) — has created just that. Designed to combat the five signs of aging, SkinxFive offers five tech-driven dermatologist-designed treatments for fighting dullness, dehydration, lines, pigmentation and acne-prone skin at every age… all with little or no down time. Think of SkinxFive as Dry Bar for you skin.

I recently tried SkinxFive, based in the Pacific Palisades, and can personally attest — SkinxFive is the real deal. The five treatments offered include The Refresher, The Infuser, The Lineless, The Spotless and The Firminator — plus a selection of customizations and add-ons. In desperate need of a deep-down cleaning and boost for my dull, dry skin, I opted for a customized Refresher (a custom light peel) and Infuser (an infusing microdermabrasian facial). The results were immediate and I emerged 90 minutes later, relaxed and glowing with no rednesss, no need to hide from the world. My skin was plump and dewy and I was recharged and ready to re-enter the day.

With prices starting at $49, run don’t walk.

Protect what you’ve got. Correct what you’ve lost. Love yourself more.

1 The Refresher: A CUSTOM LIGHT PEEL TO GET GLOWING

2 The Infuser: INFUSING MICRODERMABRASION FACIAL

3 The Lineless: INJECTIONS TO UNWRINKLE

4 The Spotless: THE LASER TO RESURFACE.

5 The Firminator: RADIOFREQUENCY TO TIGHTEN UP
