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.

The Hall Center’s Latest Secret Weapon: Body Software Telomax

October 19, 2016

telomax

TeloMax, is the latest part of the new Body Software line of natural therapeutic formulas from Dr. Prudence Hall, a practicing gynecologist and founder of The Hall Center in Santa Monica, CA.

Dr. Hall calls this formula “rejuvenation from the inside out.”   That’s because its unique blend of natural ingredients takes anti-aging to its deepest level – the cellular level. 

TeloMax addresses the function of telomeres, an integral part of cell structure that die over time due to aging.   Using telomerase, an enzyme that prevents telomeres from shortening, It repairs cells and restores youthful protein levels.  It is interesting to note that some animals – lobsters, tortoises and whales for example – have this enzyme in abundance in their cells and thus don’t show any significant biological aging.  Humans, however, do not, but research shows that it is possible to activate telomerase within human cells.

When telomeres die, the fascia, muscle and collagen are all affected, diminishing strength and vitality.  Dr. Hall, who developed Body Software as part of a approach to health she calls “mindful medicine,” recommends the formula for anyone experience menopause, bone loss, or simply wanting to feel stronger and more flexible as they age.   It’s also great for skin!

$58 and you can buy it here!

Dr. Prudence Hall, a practicing gynecologist and founder of The Hall Center in Santa Monica, CA, has developed a natural supplement that helps maximize the longevity of telomeres and helps the body retain its resilience while also restoring a more youthful look to the skin.  TeloMax, part of her new Body Software line available exclusively through The Hall Center in Santa Monica, is especially recommended for those experiencing menopause, bone loss or patients who simply want to feel stronger, more flexible and vital as they age.
