Photospherix Is The Revolutionary Power Behind Veriphy Skincare

March 31, 2023

Meet Veriphy, a revolutionary skincare brand that combines the power of natural ingredients with cutting-edge technology designed to address a wide range of common skin concerns, such as fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and acne, and are suitable for all skin types.

Veriphy skincare is a brand that has been gaining popularity in the beauty industry, and for good reason. Their products are not only effective, but also innovative. One of the key ingredients that sets Veriphy apart from other skincare brands is Photospherix®.

Photospherix® is a type of phytoglycogen, which is a natural carbohydrate derived from plants. It is specifically extracted from the seeds of certain plants, and has been found to have numerous benefits for the skin. In particular, Photospherix® is a powerful antioxidant, which means it can help to protect the skin from environmental damage caused by pollution and UV radiation.

But that’s not all. Photospherix® is also incredibly hydrating. It has been shown to increase the skin’s moisture levels by up to 35%, which is great news for anyone with dry or dehydrated skin. And because it is a natural ingredient, it is gentle enough to use on all skin types.

Veriphy has incorporated Photospherix® into a number of their products, including their Power Trip Facial Serum and their Self Absorbed Facial Moisturizer. These products have been praised by beauty bloggers and skincare enthusiasts alike for their ability to hydrate and protect the skin, leaving it looking and feeling soft, smooth, and radiant.

All products are developed and manufactured in Canada using sustainable packaging and practices. All Veriphy products are up to 98% natural and 100% cruelty-free, with no animal testing.

 

2023’s Most Trending Skin Treatment With Dr. Azza Halim

February 10, 2023

One of the most trending facial treatments in 2023 is Laser resurfacing and without a doubt one of the best ways to fix your skin concerns. The laser works by creating a beam of light through your skin to help reduce wrinkles, smooth and so much more! The light naturally pushes out the outer layer of the skin, replacing it with new skin. Laser resurfacing is found to be much more efficient than other skin rejuvenation procedures like chemical peels. It’s easier to target acne scars and spots on your skin by using the laser. The laser also is the best option for tightening your skin encouraging collagen reproduction.

I have been super excited about lasers for years and was thrilled to learn about the expertise of Dr. Azza Halim who focuses her medical practice on treatments for anti-aging and beauty solutions. Her overall goal is to create a plan for her patients that gives them the best overall skin rejuvenation results. She has done a great deal of laser resurfacing with outstanding results.

She is considered one of the top docs and educators in the country when it comes to cutting-edge lasers, with thriving practices in Newport, Boca and IL. I’ve heard incredible things about her expertise, craft and care.

There are a variety of other benefits when its comes to laser resurfacing like:

  • Reducing wrinkle and fine lines

  • Reducing size of pores

  • Smoother skin texture

  • Discoloration and redness reduction

If you are in any of these areas, be sure to book a consult with Dr. Halim to find out which laser is best for your needs.

Glutathione: The Secret Behind Auro Skincare

October 26, 2022

The Auro GSH™ Antioxidant Delivery System, a patented, first-of-its-kind technology, optimizes antioxidant absorption for transformative skin repair

Every day, the skin is attacked by oxidative stressors – also known as free radical damage – like UVA and UVB sun rays, pollution, and severe weather, to name a few. Glutathione (GSH), often referred to as the “Master Antioxidant,” is a naturally occurring tri-peptide amino acid that is produced in every cell of our bodies and recycles all other antioxidants to provide maximum detoxification of, and protection from, free-radical damage. Unfortunately, as we age, we stop producing enough Glutathione to sustain adequate levels.
 

Before now, it has not been possible to deliver such high doses of Glutathione, or other antioxidants, to skin in a way that was absorbable for maximum benefits. The Auro GSH™ Antioxidant Delivery System, discovered and developed by pharmacist and Auro founder Dr. Nayan Patel, is a patented, first-of-its-kind solution to this challenge.  Powered by sub-nano technology, it delivers antioxidants, like Glutathione, Vitamin C, Resveratrol, and more, to the skin in a more potent way than ever before. Auro Skincare’s four new products launching this month harness this technology to help users improve the look of fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, dullness, dehydration, uneven tone, and texture.

 AURO skincare is paving the way with a protocol of ultra-potent antioxidant formulas powered by the patented, first-of-its-kind Auro GSH™ Antioxidant Delivery System.

I just started my regime, and I’m already INTO IT. First off, this isn’t your mama’s skincare. AURO is the real deal – think sulfur smells and ingredients that mean business. Which of course, I love.

“Glutathione, the Master Antioxidant, is vital and essential for defending skin from the aging effects of oxidative damage caused by environmental stress. The patented, first-of-its kind Auro GSH™ Antioxidant Delivery System, developed by pharmacist and Auro founder Dr. Nayan Patel, provides skin with Glutathione, and other antioxidants like Vitamin C and Resveratrol, in a deeper way than ever before.”

Dr. Sheila Farhang: LA’s Go To Dermfluencer

August 15, 2022

Meet Dr. Sheila Farhang, Millennial skincare expert,
Board-certified Dermatologist entrepreneur influencer. 

Dr. Shelia Farhang

I love meeting new experts in the dermatology and aesthetics field. When I think back on the evolution of it all, it’s truly incredible how far things have come. I get a major thrill meeting the new, young practitioners who are currently gaining momentum. It’s always interesting to learn what makes them special and why – in a field that has become so popular. What is their point of view? How is their eye? Are they jumping onto trends defined by social media and filters or are they finding their own vision? You get the idea!

Board-certified dermatologist and double-fellowship trained cosmetic surgeon Farhang recently expanded her practice from Tucson to Beverly Hills and is now seeing patients at her new part-time clinic within Sunder Plastic Surgery on Rodeo Drive.

First off, is this doctor not the most divine creature you’ve ever seen? Especially in THIS SPACE, where so many injectors look like the really played-out, over-used, tacky AF, living embodiment Instagram filters!

No overly plumped lips, over-filled ANYTHING – she waltzed in looking so naturally beautiful, I knew right away, Dr. Sheila had an eye, and a tasteful one at that. That is very important to me when I meet a new provider in this world : What is their taste level? How do they see themselves? Etc…She was a class act head to toe. Elegant, understated and natural. Hence her natural approach has been hailed in all her press.

Featured in the NY Times for her “barely there” approach to botox and her subtle “lip flip” plumping technique, many of Dr. Sheila’s patients are new to botox injections and trust her natural approach.

Named by Women’s Health and Forbes as a top derm influencer, Sheila Farhang is a board-certified dermatologist and double fellowship-trained in cosmetic surgery as well as cutaneous oncology & reconstructive surgery. Dr. Sheila is an entrepreneur–both founder of her dermatology practice Avant Dermatology & Aesthetics and co-founder of her start-up health tech company, Vispera. Dr. Sheila is also known for her integrative approach as she is faculty for an Integrative Dermatology program and lived in Bali while obtaining her Yoga instructor certification. She has been a featured expert on ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, THE DOCTORS, THE REAL, KTLA and more.

So I went in for a tiny basic touch-up – a little around the eyes, between brows, the light touch to soften my extremely emotive and expressive face.

Then we got down to business. How can Xeomin support me, beyond the obvious aesthetics?

First off, I suffer ( YES SUFFER!) from major Bruxism. That means, night teeth grinding, chomping my teeth until they are loose – I know, a real horror show – major gum recession, and more. On one side of my face, my masseter muscle pops out and it looks like I literally am sucking on a jawbreaker. So yes, there is a minor visual component, though it doesn’t really bother me because it only is apparent when I am talking or chewing or swallowing – none of which I do in the mirror. But there is a very real medical aspect – and that is, I have lost 4mm of my bite from clenching. I have headaches – it is a real issue – let’s not forget my teeth popping out and needing gum surgery.

So, we attended to that side. It has only been a few days – but will take some more to settle in. I cannot wait. We did a small amount so as to not over-treat, which can cause laxity. We don’t want that. So, Dr. Sheila said let’s under treat, see how this goes, and asses from there.

Next – my platysma muscles are, shall we say, EPIC. Truly so AGRO that I look like The Hulk. It’s actually disarming when I catch it on a zoom (I train clients on Zoom and can see them from several feet away) – It is like my neck is hosting an underground tree root party in the Redwoods. (Did that analogy work?)

We hit them up with some Xeomin to soften the bulges. They remind me of the trauma I experienced witnessing my mother’s varicose veins at the beach for the first time. “There are snakes under your skin! Truly just…ICKY. (And gross).

I loved my time with Dr. Sheila. The office is spectacular. I love that she is doing a lot of TV promo, sharing her expertise (you can catch her on a host of shows and news channels) and she’s young and hungry to be the best. Clearly, she’s already arrived.

Biologique Rercherche Arrives On Melrose Place

August 12, 2022

Biologique Rercherche has arrived!!

Through its first flagship U.S. Ambassade, the French brand known for personalized skin care brings its complete face, body, and scalp care expertise to a single and exclusive location in Los Angeles.

Biologique Recherche is HERE, on Melrose Place. Biologique Recherche’s unique methodology, proprietary skin diagnostics, and full range of products and hyper-personalized treatments for face, body, and scalp. You know – the cult goodness like no other.

Founded in the late 1970s by a family of artisanal skincare experts, Biologique Recherche built its reputation for effectiveness through a visionary approach based on a customized methodology of cosmetic treatments adapted to every Skin Instant© and products with a high concentration of active ingredients.

The Biologique Recherche Ambassade, a concept created by founder Yvan Allouche, represents the pinnacle of the brand’s expertise. Like a country’s embassy, this Ambassade serves as the exclusive, exceptional representation of Biologique Recherche in the US. The elite Ambassade worldwide network shares irreproachable values, passion, and success, to deliver exceptional customized skincare services.

Like the historic Biologique Recherche Ambassade on the Champs-Elysées in Paris, the West Coast is getting its first exclusive U.S. flagship to deliver the essence of the brand’s know-how, from its proprietary skin diagnostics to ultra-personalized treatments for the face, body, and scalp, as well as the exclusive full range of retail products. The Biologique Recherche LA Ambassade is the culmination of the brand’s specialized skills, high standards and extensive experience.

LIVING THE FULL BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE EXPERIENCE

“We have an elite international network of Biologique Recherche Ambassade locations in Europe and Asia” says Rupert Schmid and Pierre-Louis Delapalme, co-chairmen of Biologique Recherche. “We’re proud to expand this roster with our first-ever flagship U.S. location and bring the full Biologique Recherche experience to Los Angeles.”

The full Biologique Recherche experience is built on the unique three stage methodology that hyper- personalizes each treatment based on individual skin needs.

The Assessment Stage is Stage 1 in the methodology and uses the proprietary diagnostic Skin Instant© Lab tool to analyze and determine a person’s Skin Instant©, which is the condition of the skin at the time of assessment. The VisioLab© tool takes a high-resolution photograph and offers an even more finely tuned analysis.

To go even further with the Assessment Stage, Biologique Recherche offers the My Beauty DNA© test that assesses skin on a genetic level and provides an overview of your genetic predispositions. With the My Beauty DNA© testing kit, Biologique Recherche is able to analyze 14 skin characteristics linked to aging, sensitivity, exposure to the sun and environmental factors, and the skin profile. This analysis enables better understanding of each individual’s genetic predispositions and the “inherited” needs of their skin, which are invisible to other diagnostic instruments.

Stage 2 is the Initialization Stage, and it begins with individualized preparation of the epidermis that includes thoroughly cleansing the skin, combined with a massage, and preparing the skin using the brand’s iconic Lotion P50.

Stage 3 is the Treatment Stage, which uses hyper-customized products to “recondition” the epidermis and over time, improve skin quality and leads to a radiant complexion. To complete each treatment, the Ambassade offers additions like the Remodeling Face® and Remodeling Face® Chin enhancements.

AN ELEGANT SETTING FOR EXCEPTIONAL PERSONALIZED SKINCARE

The interior architecture was entrusted to Joanne de Lépinay, a French designer who worked on the original Paris Ambassade, to bring the same Parisian spirit to the Ambassade in Los Angeles.

“We wanted to create a very authentic French experience with an elegant Parisian aesthetic. We took elements from the original Paris Ambassade to extend the authenticity of the brand and create continuity. All the millwork is custom made and the furniture is directly from Europe” says Margot Humbert, General Manager of Biologique Recherche USA.

The space was specially designed to accommodate the Biologique Recherche treatment protocols. A cozy elegant atmosphere combined with superb technical facilities offers the ultimate experience in holistic beauty. The brand’s blue, white and gold colors make up the interior and furnishings, with an added touch of sophistication that’s pure Biologique Recherche.

The Biologique Recherche Ambassade is open seven days a week from 10 am to 6pm. It is located at 8461 Melrose Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

 

Biologique Recherche’s methodology is based on over forty years of experience using unique exclusive treatment protocols that are personalized to suit each Skin Instant©.

Suitable for both men and women, the methodology encompasses three fundamental stages:

Stage 1: Assessment Stage

Your Biologique Recherche skin expert will start by undertaking a detailed diagnosis of your skin. Using the Skin Instant© Lab, supplemented by the VisioLab© and a detailed questionnaire, they will define your individual Skin Instant©. This assessment then enables them to recommend a personalized beauty treatment.

Stage 2: Initialization Stage

The treatment protocol begins by preparing your epidermis, which acts as a shield to protect from external aggressions. This rigorous ritual will ready your skin to receive the benefits of your treatment through:

  • Thorough cleansing of your skin, including our exclusive welcoming massage
  • Exfoliating and balancing your skin with our iconic Lotion P50, followed by a customized booster and face mask

Stage 3: Treatment Stage

Products containing the highest concentrations of active ingredients are applied to “re-condition” the epidermis, helping activate its capacity for auto-regeneration:

  • A tailor-made cocktail of precisely targeted, authentic serums is applied by the Biologique Recherche expert
  • The treatment and finishing stage fixes and optimizes the beauty treatment’s efficacy through the use of botanical and marine biological active ingredients, creams and finishing serums to suit your skin type and its needs

These active ingredients work progressively to improve your skin’s elasticity and firmness, defining your face’s natural contours.

AUTHENTIC AND HARMONIOUS PRODUCTS

The Biologique Recherche products we use in our beauty treatments all follow very specific criteria:

  • Formulas are high in active ingredients and made with fragrance-free natural or biotechnological ingredients
  • To improve the synergistic absorption of active ingredients, the esthetician complements manual stimulation with the use of our Remodeling Face©machine to produce exceptional instant results and long-lasting benefits.

Facial and Body treatments are tailored to the needs of your Skin Instant© by one of our Biologique Recherche experts. The longer your skincare treatment is, the more specific techniques and additional treatments can be added to give you the best experience.
