Michelle Messiah, PA-C at FACILE DERMATOLOGY + BOUTIQUE

September 21, 2016

Wow. Ok, we wrote about Facile Dermatology and Boutique recently and I was so blown away by what I learned, I had to check it out for myself. And well, we were right! It wasn’t until I stepped foot into this stunningly appointed space that it hit me – this is a gem, a lucky find and my newest obsession and go-to recommendation for anyone looking to restore, rebalance, rejuvenate and prevent, and do it all while feeling like you’ve walked into a Paul Klee painting.

IMG_6383

Besides being touted for its advanced cosmetic dermatology offerings it is also a high end boutique and product bar.

As mentioned when we first checked out the opening it’s a new concept in the skincare and beauty experience, created by Dr. Nancy Samolitis and Danielle Nadick – somewhere between a chic dermatologist office you wish was your living room, a day spa and a beauty boutique. Let’s not forget IV infusions and cutting edge anti-aging treatments such as laser therapy, cryofacials, micro needling, and more. 

That being said, you will fall is love like I did with the phenomenal Michelle Messiah, PA-C who gave me the most rad PRP and micro-neddling treatment that I am now fully in her clutches for life. In layman’s speak this treatment the treatment I had, PRP (platelet-rich plasma from your blood) will help shrink pores, improve fine lines and stimulate new collagen) or, the Vampire Facial truly is life-giving. All I can say is do it. And if Kim Kardashian swears by it, then you know it works, because she’s clearly made a deal with the devil to stay perennially perfect. After your blood is drawn and spun to separate the blood and plasma, the plasma is injected into your face. Then Michelle did an intensive mico-needling (feels amazing!) and well, more blood and after a day of a little sore-ness you look 15. This is an elixir that basically is a must to your anti-aging, preventative routine.

You’ll want to be best friends with Michelle so stand in line because I’m grabbing her first. Danielle the owner is like girl boss on steroids because I don’t know how the fuck she opened this place, so bow down to this entrepreneurial goddess because I think she may hold the key to the universe.

The CIEL SPA at the SLS recently relaunched under the guidance of Pear Wellness with a bevy of amazing face treatments. I recently checked it out and had a facial that was super lovely. While they don’t believe in steam or extractions,it was relaxing and felt great and Katarina was awesome. They do offer more high-tech, purpose driven offerings but the one I had was the perfect facial if you want to buy a beauty-relaxation gift for a someone and don’t want to go for anything too extreme like a boss, a mother in law or bride. And there is a lot to say about a day at a hotel spa where you can steam and relax and take a little mini-vacation. The white Phillipe Starck 5,000 square foot spa has 6 treatment rooms including a couples massage room with side by side soaking tubs all complimented by the 1,000 foot relaxation lounge with bite size snacks by SLS Hotel Culinary Director, Jose Andres. You can chill amidst luxury retail such as Voyage et Cie Candles and Bath Products, Emerson Ryder Jewelry and Emi Jay Hair Care and Tees.

Ciel Spa is the first Los Angeles spa to feature Biologique Recherche skincare for facial services. The Biologique Recherché Methodology is well-loved for its concentrated, raw ingredients that produce healthy, glowing skin.

They also have a new hair salon but I have not tried any of the stylists.

IGK HAIR-
