5 New Los Angeles Beauty Musts

There is no better place to pursue the fountain of youth (and the quest to be physically perfect) than in Los Angeles. New salons, treatments, and fads pop up regularly, but it’s hard weeding through what works and what blatantly doesn’t. Luckily, we’ve done the work for you. Here are five new beauty musts in the City of Angels.

1. THE NAIL SUITE ARRIVES AT THE FOUR SEASONS LOS ANGELES AT BEVERLY HILLS

2. NINE ZERO ONE REOPENS ON MELROSE PLACE

Starlet staple Nine Zero One has moved to a new 2,600 foot location on Melrose Place salon. The salon, beloved by the likes of Nina Dobrev, Emma Roberts and Julianne Hough, offers everything from Great Lengths extensions to a braid bar to eyelash extensions as well as 1,000 square-foot education academy on its first floor, where stylists will teach group and one-on-one classes. Riawna Capri and Nikki Lee’s former digs on Westbourne Drive is still in existence, only now it’s a one-stop beauty bars offering makeup applications, blowouts and braids.

3. LANCER DERMATOLOGY OBTAINS INNOVATIVE VENUS LEGACY

Dermatologist to the stars Dr. Harold Lancer is the proud owner of two innovative new machines designed to promote youth and weight loss. His Venus Legacy machine is a non-invasive, pain-free treatment that combines radio frequency heating and magnetic pulses to achieve circumference reduction, skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and cellulite improvement. Don’t believe it works? Just ask celebrity fan Sofia Vergara, who has publicly touted its greatness. The second of Lancer Dermatology‘s dream machines is the Venus Viva machine, which offers an alternative to injectables or invasive procedures. The machine diminishes deep wrinkles, acne scars, large pores, uneven texture, pigmentation irregularities and stretch marks; you’ll have more youthful skin in just three to four treatments.

5. THE KO’AN CENTER TEST-DRIVES THE I-LIPO

Los Angeles is famous for lunchtime lipo (a.k.a. non-invasive quickie procedures that you can literally do on your lunchbreak) and i-lipo is the latest and greatest. The machine, i-LipoXcell, which was recently featured on The Doctors, is a new FDA-approved treatment. The technology was developed to get rid of “stubborn areas” of fat, and it does—though note you will need between 6-10 treatments to see results. So how does it work? The machine incorporates low level laser technology (LLLT) to deliver targeted fat reduction and body shaping results in as little as 20 minutes, without pain and without dieting. It then stimulates fat cells to naturally break down their stored triglycerides, shrinking the fat cells to deliver immediate body contouring results. For those who want to try out the machine instead of lunching, it’s available at the Ko’an Center in Santa Monica.
