I

love summer. The sun-filled days at the pool, the cookouts, and nights out on the deck with the fire pit­—all these seasonal rituals make my kids’ summer vacation feel like I’ve spent the whole season vacationing, too. So, I felt it was time for Le Nouveau Moi to spread my own personal joy of summer.

Yes, it’s hot...and important to hydrate...but drinking water all the time is well—boring. So, I’ve shared with you some quick and easy recipes for refreshing libations that give you a serving of fruits and/or vegetables that are fun to sip. And for those barbeques—perfect to experiment with cocktails (page 6).

And the summertime shopping is never boring. Find fashionable designer look-alikes in clothing and accessories for a fraction of the price on page 12. And see Julie Holland’s take on the classic summer red, white and blue pairings on page 24.

Refreshment s

Summer

BY MJ CINCOTTA

With summer kicking into full gear, I have refreshments on the brain.

Walking through my neighborhood Asian market inspired me to delve into some super easy juice mixes that you can have as a healthy drink alternative to soda—or add a bit of hooch to and go outside to enjoy the backyard. Yes, the lush in me is always at work!

I found this spicy recipe concoction in the newspaper, but made a few modifications. It’s perfect for those who love a spicy drink. Add a little vodka for a sinfully spicy Bloody Mary.

New Technologies in Aesthetic Medicine

Make Looking Younger

EASIER

BY LINDA BARRETT

Looking younger may be getting easier, especially with burgeoning technologies.

The latest treatments can be found at Aesthetic Medical Center, a boutique medical practice in Tysons focusing on non-surgical cosmetic rejuvenation.

Dr. Dennis Faludi has decades of experience as a reconstructive surgeon. His expertise in the delicate techniques required for working with small vessels and nerves, soft tissues, skin and bone flow naturally into Aesthetic Medicine and form the foundation for his effective, less-invasive medical techniques, such as injectable neuromodulators and dermal fillers, and laser technology.

Injectables “Most people come in because they lose volume in their face and hands as a normal part of aging,” said

10

Dr. Faludi. Injectable dermal fillers such as Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Perlane® offer excellent non-surgical treatments to restore a fresh, youthful appearance.

Common uses for fillers include: under eye rejuvenation, restoration of cheek volume, lip enhancement, softening of nasolabial folds and marionette lines, treatment of fine and deeper wrinkles, chin and jaw sculpting, and hand rejuvenation. Benefits can last up to two years.

“A major advance in dermal fillers is how they’re put in,” Dr. Faludi explained. “With Le Nouveau Moi

the development of the microcannula, an ultra-fine, flexible cannula with the opening in the side, you don’t get the tissue trauma and bruising.” Therefore, no downtime and minimal or no anesthetic are needed.

Microcannulas have been available for several years; however, not everyone is trained in the technique. This is a medical procedure and Dr. Faludi advises people seek someone who has the proper credentials and experience in this technique. “Make sure they understand the body and facial structure, anatomy and tissue, and they take a medical history before doing any work,” he urges.

Aesthetic Medical Center also offers injectable neuromodulators, such as Botox Cosmetic®, that significantly reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles by blocking the actions of the muscles that produce them.

“People are surprised that treatment is not as expensive as they thought,” Dr. Faludi said. It is much more affordable than facelifts, and far less traumatic.

Dr. Faludi uses the new Cutera Excel V, the highest-rated laser system on the market for the treatment of spider veins, for a variety of skin conditions over the face and body, including broken vessels, brown spots, rosacea and melasma. “We can often get 80% clearance in just one treatment,” Dr. Faludi said.

At Aesthetic Medical Center, each patient is treated like family. Your first visit is a complimentary consultation with Dr. Faludi, and if you choose to go ahead with treatment, he will continue to work personally with you through your procedures and follow-up visits.

Our patients appreciate his clinical skills and gentle manner, as well as his ability to rejuvenate their appearance in a way that looks natural.

Slim the Body

Parma’s new non-surgical and non-invasive treatment works to perfectly contour, shape and slim the body. Typically coupled with UltraShape treatments, VelaShape™, can be used to target circumferential reduction on the thighs and effectively attacks cellulite on the thighs, buttocks, love handles and abdomen. Similarly to UltraShape, this treatment does not require the usual requisite “down time” and can be completed in just 30 minutes per treatment. (Three treatments are suggested to achieve optimal results.)

Elos

Enjoy Flawless Skin

Parma’s new facial contouring and wrinkle treatment rejuvenates the face by combining optical energy (laser or light) with bi-polar radio frequency (RF) energy.

Furthermore, Elos treats pigmented lesions, acne, vascular lesions and targets hair removal; all while stimulating the increase of collagen in the skin.

UltraShape

Melt away fat

Parma’s new UltraShape uses noninvasive ultrasonic energy to target fat cells on the abdomen. Ordinarily, we suggest three treatments, but results are typically reported within the first two weeks of your first treatment. UltraShape does not require any “down time” and is an accelerated procedure that can even be conveniently scheduled over your lunch hour.

Soften laugh line and wrinkles around the mouth

Reduce volume and tighten skin for a more contoured arm

HOW IT WORKS

Venus Freeze utilizes multi-polar radio frequency and Pulsed Magnetic fields which produce a soothing and therapeutic heat matrix over the skin. Skin tightening, wrinkle reduction and cellulite reduction occur because the multi-polar radio frequency causes a thermal reaction in the tissue which stimulates the body’s natural healing response. This restoring response causes new collagen to form and the production of new elastin fibres. The active collagen in the skin contracts, achieving tighter skin, softening of wrinkles and reduced cellulite.

Reduce cellulite, contour and lift your buttock for better shape

SIDE EFFECTS? Radio Frequency and magnetic pulses have been used for many years in medicine and are proven, safe technologies. There are no side effects other than looking terrific and the contraindications are standard with all treatments.

EXPERTs Dr. Daniel Han & Dr. Sooyeon Ahn HAN & AHN, DMD PC 6845 Elm Street, Suite 450 McLean, VA (703) 356-7001 www.mcleandmd.com

What does it mean to be a dental specialist?

Do you need to see a specialist for cosmetic dentistry?

Not every Northern Virginia cosmetic dentist has the same level of knowledge, experience and training. You should take care to examine their background and credentials.

After four years of dental school education, they must be accepted in and finish postdoctoral residency at an accredited school in order to become a specialist. Dr. Han holds both periodontics /implants and fixed prosthodontics certificates.

This means he went through one of the toughest but most comprehensive postdoctoral residencies for cosmetic procedures that one can desire (4 years after dental school).

Every year only very few exceptional doctors are accepted into the program at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the true expert in dental implant surgery and cosmetic procedures that you are searching for. As assistant professor at UPenn, he teaches future specialists these high level procedures. I received my orthodontic certificate at UPenn (2 years after dental school) and was named the top orthodontist by the American Association of Orthodontists in 2010. My extensive knowledge in Invisalign and dedication to personal care make our cosmetic dentistry even more complete and enjoyable. I serve you as a true expert in your orthodontic treatment.

What sets you apart from other dentists in the field of dentistry?

We are not ordinary dentists but are certified dental specialists who make the one of a kind team for your cosmetic dentistry treatments. We have both graduated from the top dental school in the nation and specialized in periodontics/implants, prosthodontics and orthodontics. I focus on minimally invasive cosmetic implant treatments with all necessary adjunctive procedures and am recognized as one of the best prosthodontists known for my personal and detailed approach to cosmetic veneers. Dr. Ahn confidently creates the ideal and functioning teeth alignment using the latest orthodontic techniques and procedures before patients are getting ready for me.

This is why patients love and trust us for all dental treatments. We are well experienced, advanced and form a powerful team when it comes down to comprehensive dental care.

Smile Design Everyone smiles but not everyone enjoys his or her smile. Making sure that the smile is individualized but pleasing is not simple. It requires a high level of training and understanding the esthetics of face, tooth shape, shade, gingival (gum) biotype and occlusion (bite). Dr. Han and Dr. Ahn examine their patients very carefully in these aspects. They then devise a truly comprehensive treatment plan for each of them. All orthodontic and surgical implant procedures are reviewed and are simulated in a digital format before they are actually rendered. All cosmetic procedures are planned and simulated on the diagnostic models. For individualized result, Dr. Han selects a different master technician to fabricate one’s veneers. This way, each patient’s desire and need are satisfied. Although there are several ways to design your smile, it is very important to diagnose the issue properly. Three dimension radiographs/ tomographs like CT scan and cephalometric scan help them properly diagnose the issue. Diagnostic wax models and intra/extraoral photos aid Dr. Han and Dr. Ahn to develop the proper treatment plan before the actual treatment.

prompt daydreams of seaside boats and sunny days eating watermelon. These summery, sail-away-with-me colors and prints never get old!

Classic and playful, this color scheme is an easy one to pull off, whether it be by pairing simple solids or incorporating a bit of youthful print mixing.

Stripes and anchors, polka dots and checkered—mix and match and try it all! Two different prints work well when combined with one solid (e.g. striped top, anchor print bottom, solid cardi or a chunky solid belt). See some suggestions on where to shop to create this look on the next page.

alk through the doors of Skintelligence and your dreams of looking younger come into focus. With a full menu of skin and body treatments, the business offers lavishness and luxury as clients indulge in a host of skincare, spa treatments, and cosmetic medical services.

Among its popular offerings are facials, photofacials, microdermabrasion, waxing, tinting, laser hair removal, Juvaderm® and Radiesse® injections, Botox®, massages, and permanent make-up.

Skintelligence is the beauty and wellness center of owner Theresa Caputy, a registered nurse who nine years ago desired to do more with her training. “I wanted to offer a full range of services and formed an alliance with two estheticians. This worked well, and allowed us to refer people to each other’s services while making it convenient for our customers to get all their services done in one place.” Caputy herself is trained in laser hair removal, photofacial rejuvenation with intense pulse light, fractional laser treatments and injectables.

Although personnel have changed through the years, Caputy maintains an experienced and very popular staff.

“Our Skintelligence promise is to provide our clients with the highest level of professional service, in a calm and welcoming environment,” she says.

Signature services The signature treatment is the 90-minute Skintelligence Ultimate Facial, with products and techniques appropriately selected according to each client’s needs. The facial includes microdermabrasion and Vitamin C treatments, complemented by a lip and brow wax.

Skin treatments help avoid the changes aging brings Skintelligence sees women and men of all ages. After a consultation with the patient, all options are presented and an appropriate treatment plan is suggested. “I really want the patient to be comfortable with the decisions they are making,” says Theresa. “Since many of the treatments need to be done as a series, this is a financial investment that needs consideration.”

For men, women and teens, proper skin care at any age will lead to a more youthful appearance in the future. We can’t turn back the clock, but we can protect our skin from the ravages of time.

McLean resident and master esthetician Mali Amini has been with Skintelligence in Vienna for over six years and has won over many happy customers who continue to sing her praises.

“Mali Amini first won us over with compliments like ‘Your skin is so lovely.’ After our microdermabrasion she showed us the residue that collected in the machine’s filter—not a pretty sight.

Then she cocooned our hands in paraffin-lined mitts and kneaded our arms and shoulders. After a graceful progression of cleansers, creams and a peel, we left with pores so spotless and tight we couldn’t see them even if we wanted to.”

Mali Amini was named by

Allure magazine the “Best of the Best” for Facials in Washington D.C. two years in a row.

THE

BRAZILIAN BLOW-OUT

by the Experts at Colour Bar Studio

Le Nouveau Moi

w 2015

If your hair is wavy, the Brazilian Blow-out will make your hair appear naturally straight and healthy. If your hair is very curly, it will minimize frizz while enhancing the appearance of the natural wave/curl. If you have straight, frizzy hair, this treatment will eliminate frizz and promote radiant shine. Here’s a list of other things you should know about a Brazilian Blow Out before you go.

1. Know Your Hair Type

Firstly, you should know your hair type! If you have curly, frizzy hair that is so hard to manage in the summer, a blow-out might be the best bet to keep your hair smooth and beautiful! You want to discuss your hair style with the stylist before you commit to doing it. There are some hair types that this particular treatment might not work on, such as somewhat wavy/straight hair or even straight hair that is constantly having fly aways.

4. It’s Keratin Based

What does that mean? Basically, it means that the treatment targets your hair proteins, called keratins. The chemicals used during a Brazilian Blow-out change those keratins in such a way that it straightens your locks, helping you achieve that straight, flowing look you crave.

5. Is a Brazilian Blow-out Right for You?

The next fact about a Brazilian Blow-out that you should know is that your stylist actually has to be certified. You can’t just go into any salon anywhere and get one of these blow-outs. In fact, if people are advertising a blow-out and you ask about certification, you should be wary if they aren’t able to provide it. This is one fact about a Brazilian blow-out that I didn’t know without doing my research!

This question about a Brazilian Blow-out is an important one – is this type of blow-out right for you? Do you think that you’ll actually take care of it? Do you believe that it will work to keep the frizz out of your hair? Is it worth it? These are all questions that you are going to want to think about! You should be getting another blow-out at least every 4 months, because after that time, the chemicals do need to be refreshed. If you are a person that has a lot of allergies, this blow out might not be for you.

3. Is It Dangerous?

6. Be Wary of Super Low Deals

2. Certified Stylist

A ton of talk and lots of facts thrown around about Brazilian Blow-outs have suggested the procedure could be dangerous. This all boils down to the salon that you go to. This is why you do have to be aware of what you are getting into before you go to the salon.

One of the chemicals that has been extremely controversial about this particular hair treatment is Formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a chemical that is used as a preservative, an embalming agent and a disinfectant, and it typically is used in a Brazilian Blow-out, as it can actually modify the hair proteins, called keratins. This in turn can cause the hair to turn back to its smooth and not frizzy state.

Always, always be wary of blow-outs that are offered by salons at a super low price. After all, it is an expensive treatment and if the salon is giving a really, really great deal on it, it might not be the right formula. Just remember to call and talk about what you’ve researched with the salon before you allow them to touch your hair!

This is a treatment that typically costs about $300-$500, do your research and make sure your stylist is certified!
