Awesome! EXTRASHADE is a unique SPF product carefully formulated for rich complexions that is proving to help maintain great looking skin among the multi-cultural community.

  The fact is 1 out 3 people belong to the multi-cultural community.

  • For this growing population who has extra pigmentation, more melanin, EXTRASHADE is suncare products that are carefully designed to help solve their primary health and beauty concerns — hyperpigmentaion and discoloration.

 

I had the fabulous and brilliant Dr. Sheila Hughes try out the EXTRASHADE line on her insanely perfect skin and report back to us…
"I started using Extrashade in the last 1 1/2 months since I began exercising outdoors. I admittedly didn't spend a whole lot of time outside before. I'm getting ready to do the Ms. U.S. Globe Pageant in August so I really appreciate having it now. I absolutely love the product. I use it everyday now as a moisturizer for my skin. It has a very luxurious feel and actually has a slight shimmer to it so it looks very beautiful on darker skin tones. (Through trial and error, I found that a little bit goes a long way.) Because it is made with natural ingredients I feel good about using it daily and I love the way my skin looks and feels with it. As a physician I would recommend it because not only is it good for the overall health of your skin, it conforms to the new FDA recommendations regarding sunscreens that they should provide a SPF of 30 and broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) protection. Since I'm 57, I appreciate the ingredients which not only protect my skin but also hydrate, repair and rejuvenate it with natural botanicals. Love it!"
Thanks Sheila! And thanks EXTRASHADE for letting us sample. We will be sure to help spread the word!

 

 

 

Cosmetic Acupuncture now in Beverly Hills. Tamara ZumMallen now on Linden Drive

June 4, 2012

you may remember the amazing, toxic-free, wrinkle-reducing loveliness of MEI ZEN, Cosmetic Acupuncture in all its glory, that i wrote about last year, with the fab Tamara ZumMallen??

i had a most amazing touch up with her last week (much needed) in her gorgeous new Beverly Hills office space (a far cry from Larchmont) – it is sooo much calmer, zen-like, private and more womb-ee than her old spot, i wanted to curl up in the coziest room ever and sleep there all day. it kinda sucked having to leave after my hour session which included a full Mei Zen treatment and all sort of needles elsewhere, heat lamps, an amazing meditation cd and a drift into oblivion.

leaving was….hard.

my body, soul and mind thanked me for my hour-urban-needle retreat, and my face was so relaxed, well, i'm going back next week.  

this could become a habit. 

Cosmetic: $135/session or $1,200 for 10. Regular acupuncture: $135 for first session. $85 for subsequent sessions.

Lunchtime lipo with NO surgery? LIPOSONIX hits LA! Dr. Leif Rogers is now offering this latest non-surgical fat-blaster.

May 20, 2012

any time i hear of a way to zap fat that doesn’t require anethesia, cannulas or a aurgery suite – i perk up. then again, i’ve also tried the Vaser shape (did’t seem to do the trick or any trick) and have heard less than wonderful things about Zeltiq. 

so you can imagine my skeptisim when i heard of the lastest fat melting, non-surgical, non-invasive, ultrasound craze – LIPOSONIX .

but given that i have an inch or two here & there that still need to go buh-bye, (thighs!), i figured i’d give it a try as the incredibly skilled, smart, savvy and talented Dr. Leif Rogers is now offering it at his practice… and what can i say, i trust anything this doc is up to. (for more serious fat sculpting, look into his seemingly magical work with SlimLipo – it is no joke, peeps!)

i spent an hour checking this out for myself this week and i’m psyched to see the results in 8 to 12 weeks. it was basically painless, and i just chilled out on a chair while the wonderful PA Valerie just went around my thighs with a few zaps. cannot wait to report! don’t have the money, downtime or simply too scared to go under el knife-o yet yearning to get rid of stubborn fat? Liposonix is the wave of the future. and i’ll get back to you soon on this!! Whilst I prefer to use Liposonix, I know that some of my friends prefer to use a treatment called Coolsculpting instead to get rid of their stubborn fat. You must use the treatment that you feel is right and effective for your body.

WHAT::

Liposonix is a new, state-of-the-art fat removal system that is completely non-invasive. It is FDA approved for the removal of fat deposits in the abdominal area but is proving to be equally effective other areas of the body, such as the thighs.

Liposonix uses focused ultrasound waves to slightly heat and destroy stubborn fat deposits so that they can be removed by the body’s natural metabolic processes without any need for incisions or skin penetration – totally non-invasive. “With the high-frequency ultrasound energy of Liposonix, we can target stubborn areas of fat like no other non-invasive treatment has before,” claims Dr. Leif Rogers.

Liposonix has been used successfully for

  • Outer thighs – commonly known as “saddle bags” which are areas of excessive fat deposits that some people are prone to, no matter how much exercise is done
  • Inner thighs – the area at the top of the thigh which may continue to protrude and prevent the appearance of thin legs – which also can’t be exercised away for many patients
  • Back thighs – which often results in cellulite or “orange peel” appearance, caused by protrusion of fat cells through connective tissue and causes many patients to avoid wearing “short shorts” or bathing suits with no skirt

Liposonix is different from liposuction. It is completely non-surgical, requiring no skin penetration whatsoever so there is never a threat of any type of infection. In addition, Liposonix is virtually painless and has a much faster recovery rate. Most patients are able to return to normal activities – including work – on the same day and resume full exercise regimens within a week.

Though generally painless, some patients experience warming sensations during the procedure and can see slight swelling following the procedure as the body adjusts to remove the “waste” fat cells. Destruction of the unwanted fat cells is permanent. Treatment is intended for small and focused areas of the body.
