B

ecoming a mom has been the most rewarding experience I have ever had.

Those first few years of their lives when your children are helpless and totally dependent on you, you may start to think that all of the feeding, diaperchanging, one-sided conversations, cheering up and singing—without sleep—is a constant cycle of giving and selflessness that can seem to drain the very life out of you. But you take the tiny rewards that come your way—a smile, a giggle—and endure the tantrums and other assertions of their personalities that get in the way of completing the day-to-day, just relishing in the responsibility of caring for these little people and enjoying the newness of their experiences. Then you wake up one day and they are grown, cheering you up, making you Mother’s Day gifts and doling out hugs. Their energy recharges you and your desire to care for them and—and if you’re part Italian like me—feed them good food has become your reward.

I hope to bring more stories to Le Nouveau Moi for moms to enjoy. Because motherhood is a club and once you’re in, you’re in it for life and your life will never be the same. Be sure to read Dr. Rashita Jaju’s article about a new technology that eliminates the need for anesthesia in pediatric dentistry and stay tuned for our next issue where Dr. Jaju’s tongue-tie and lip-tie procedures help nursing mothers and promote healthy mouths.

Marta Bota gives us some great tips on what makeup will help you travel light, and Julia Buckley shows us how to firm up those arms for those summertime sleeveless shirts and dresses. McLean Vein and Wellness Center now offers dermal fillers and injections to erase 10 years of aging. And summertime shopping heats up with a new batch of designer look-a-likes.

Enjoy those extra hours of sunshine!

Le Nouveau Moi

w 2016

By Analiese Kreutzer When the 660,000-square-foot tower that houses Inova Women’s Hospital opened its doors in January, it revealed a spacious interior with lots of light, all private rooms, a spa-like feel and, of course, state-of-the-art medical facilities.

What patients comment on most, however, is how quiet it is. They say it feels like a hotel, and the hospital administrators couldn’t be more pleased.

As the only dedicated Caring for Women at Every Age women’s hospital in the The hospital was built to care for women at region, Inova made sure every stage of life. Gynecological care has been it was designed from the a cornerstone of the hospital for years, with perspective of women, its award-winning expertise in gynecological with plenty of input from oncology and specialization in pelvic floor focus groups to ensure a disorders.

of the luxury suites, so family members could go back and forth between the sisters. They were just delighted.”

The hospital also has expanded its involvement in the niches around having a baby. “The old facility welcomed doulas if an expectant mother was working with one, but there was no formal system in place,” said Schmehl. The new hospital includes a program where doulas are oriented with the facility. The hospital also includes special suites for mothers’ groups and lactation consultants, plus an entire retail store for breastfeeding supplies. “New moms are even coming back after they leave the hospital to buy their supplies here,” she said.

As the hospital settles into its new space, additional amenities, such as celebratory dinners and afternoon teas, will be rolled out. Schmehl emphasized that the hospital is still in phase one and more programs and amenities will be evaluated to meet the area’s growing demand for women’s healthcare services.

Inova Women’s Hospital is part of the Inova Fairfax Medical Campus at 3300 Gallows Road, Falls Church, Virginia.

For more information, call 703-7764001 or visit www.inova.org.

Schmehl admits to having some nervous moments about how the physicians and staff would react to the new building.

“It’s 660,000 square feet, and they have to go back and forth between the hospitals. I held my breath, but they are healthier for it. They all have fit bits, and they comment on how many steps they get each day.” Schmehl is delighted by the positive feedback the hospital receives from doctors and staff. “They don’t just like it,” she said. “They love it.”

JOURNELLE Charlotte Slip, $118 journelle.com

By Julie Holland This summer, slip into something a little more, well... slip-like. Just like pajama bottoms worked their way into a form of boho pants fit for everyday, the negligee has been translated into dress form and reinvented over the years (also big in the 90’s). So, although it’s not a new trend, it’s certainly a convenient one. A comfy style that’s fit for day or night?

I’m not complaining. And how dressy you want this look to be is entirely up to you—go laid back boho-chic with a tie dye slip dress, cowboy boots and kimono-cardi, or glam it up for a night out with pumps and a sophisticated blazer or glittering shawl.

ith the numerous nonsurgical facial treatments available, removing 10 years off your face is as easy as a single doctor’s office visit. We now live in a time where nonsurgical options for facial rejuvenation are safe and effective, and reduce or delay the need for surgical intervention. Speak with Dr. Nordine Gaugau about neurotoxins such as Botox for dynamic wrinkles (forehead, frown lines, Crow’s feet); and fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane for laugh/ nasolabial lines; sad lines / Marionette lines; plumping up lips or cheek bones; or defining the jawline. Laser ablative resurfacing and deep chemical peels can also be quite beneficial. Microneedling/ dermaroller is another safe treatment to consider to stimulate your own collagen.

Dr. Gaugau and his staff believe in providing premier quality care in a safe and friendly environment. We provide the full range of cosmetic dermatology, the most advanced vein treatment and skin rejuvenation services in our state-of-the-art facility using stateof-the-art techniques.

Beauty Tips

eing able to travel the world is a great gift! Whether you travel for business or pleasure, packing light makes the journey—to and from—much easier! I’ll share some great travel beauty tips to help you look fabulous without having to carry too many products.

It’s all about keeping it simple by streamlining!

How does one streamline their beauty routine? It’s easy, you just have to learn how to be organized.

A great cosmetic travel bag that has compartments and/or small bottles that you can fill with your favorite products helps keep things lightweight!

Another great way to streamline is by getting multiple uses of out your products, so that you don’t need to carry as many items. It’s easier than you think! For example, using a tinted moisturizer that already has an SPF added gives you a multi purpose use! I also love foundations that go on as a liquid but dry into a powder, eliminating the use of carrying two products!

20

I love Dew Skin by Beauty Counter with SPF 20! It gives you a luminous light coverage while really protecting your skin!

My favorite liquid to powder foundation is Motives Liquid Powder Mineral Foundation with SPF 15! It’s truly an “all in one” product!

Le Nouveau Moi

w 2016

MAKE UP

I love Simply Natural Multi Purpose Mineral Powder in Copper! It gives you a beautiful bronze glow no matter your skin tone!

Pressed or loose mineral shadows in shades that can be used as blush, eyeshadow, and/or bronzers really maximize your space and usage!

A warm copper tone works really well.

Palettes are another great option! You can even create your own palettes by customizing your favorite shadows into one easy carrying case!

Motives Cosmetics has magnetic cases that give you the option to create your own travel kit. Bobbi Brown also makes great cases that eyeshadows/blushes can easily be snapped into!

Brush sets are a great way to carry your important makeup tools and make better use of space! Having a basic brush set that has brushes for powder, eyeshadow, liner, and blush application is a must. I love natural hair brushes for powder products and synthetic brushes for cream or liquid cosmetics!

Another palette that is a big space saver AND gives multiple uses is Stila Convertible Color Dual Lip & Cheek Palette. This silky, creamy collection doubles as lip and cheek color! How fabulous is that?

I love to collect cosmetic, skin care, and fragrance samples and use them when I travel.

Some cosmetic lines even carry mini travel size items! Benefit Cosmetics, one of my favorite cosmetic lines, makes amazing travel packs.

Their products are innovative, of great quality, and have the most whimsical names!

I hope my tips help you to see the world while looking FAB! Bon Voyage!

I love NYX Contour kit! You can use this for bronzing, contour, or eye shadow!

www.crownbrush.com makes terrific brushes that are really reasonably priced!

Waterlase Laser Technology Eliminates the Need for Oral Anesthesia AT SMILE WONDERS

By Linda Barrett If you think back to when you were a child, did you like going to the dentist? Times are different now, especially with Dr. Rishita Jaju’s Smile Wonders practice that specializes in pediatric laser dentistry. Here, kids can’t wait to come back.

“My goal was to create an office that gave patients and their parents a nice experience,” she said, while pointing out the various toys available for her young patients. The state-of-the-art, recentlyopened Reston facility includes a kid’s play area with video games, a parent reception area with beverage bar, Wi-Fi and workstations, feeding areas for new moms, stroller parking, and personal movies with wireless headphones for treatment visits.

With the new practice came new technologies. Out went the old-fashioned drills and silver fillings, and in came the laser diagnostics and treatments that changed the way routine procedures were performed, illnesses were prevented and diseases were diagnosed, offering plenty of real benefits for young patients.

“What surprises me is that although laser 22

technology has been around for a while, many parents don’t know it is an option.”

“I can perform general dental treatment like fillings without local anesthetics, work on several areas of the mouth during the same visit, and children can go back to school or out to play right away.”

The Waterlase Laser

Lasers are now being used to detect tooth decay early, while it may still be invisible to the naked eye. “This allows us to create a plan for prevention rather than Le Nouveau Moi

w 2016

increasing the number of treatments.” Jaju is the area’s most specialized and qualified laser dentist, who provides the most minimally-invasive and conservative treatment options available using the Waterlase iplus 2.0.

There is no need for local anesthesia (no needles!) with the Waterlase, which uses light energy combined with water to clean out cavities and repair gums. “One of the reasons we have pain when receiving fillings is because of the friction and its subsequent heat with a regular dental drill.

With the Waterlase, the water cools the tooth while the laser does the work, so we no longer have to numb the mouth,” Jaju explained. “It transfers light energy to desensitize the tooth.”

This laser technology is as old as white fillings, but dentists have to make an investment in it and receive specialized training to use it correctly. Jaju reports that only about 15% of dentists use some form of laser in their practice.

Dr. Rishita Jaju herself is a Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist and has achieved the Advanced Laser Proficiency Certification from the Academy of Laser Dentistry. Her expertise in using Waterlase safely and effectively is recognized by the World Clinical Laser Institute with their highest Mastership Certification. She is recognized as a top pediatric dentist for children from birth to 18 and features in her practice minimally-invasive and comfortable laser dentistry and aesthetic treatments, with low-dose digital x-rays and an intra-oral camera to photograph teeth.

Yet, even with all the technological advances, she remembers it’s the patient’s happiness that really counts. “I value the patient experience more than anything else.”

As well as offering a full-service pediatric dental practice, Dr. Jaju is a specialist in craniofacial anomalies such as cleft lip and palate, tongue-tie/ lip-tie and children with medical or behavioral special needs. As a TOP Pediatric Dentist, she is featured as a pediatric dental expert on TOP Doctors interviews on CNN, Headline News, FOX News, CNBC and Bravo. She has also volunteered as a team dentist for Operation Smile missions to Vietnam and India.

The Aura Cacia website (https://www.auracacia.com/auracacia/aclearn/eo_lemon.html) is a veritable treasure trove of information regarding essential oils. Aura Cacia describes authentic cold-pressed lemon essential oil as “a refreshing aroma nearly identical to the freshly peeled fruit.”

Lemons grow in the arid, subtropical climates of southern California and the Mediterranean region – in Greece, Spain, and the Italian peninsula, where its virtues are readily extolled.

The lemon most likely originated in China, traveling to the Mediterranean by way of Arabian merchants. The earliest record of the lemon in the New World came from Hispaniola, where it arrived with Columbus in 1493.

Little did Columbus know, he carried with him a natural alternative for highlighting our summer tresses. This quick and easy modern solution for hair-lightening comes from http://essentialoilsanctuary.com/natural-hairhighlights-with-essential-oils-hydrosols-diyrecipes/. The lemon’s acidity serves to lighten the color of your hair. Just cut up and squeeze lemons to get 1/2 cup of lemon juice or use lemon essential oil (1 drop of lemon essential oil is equal to roughly 1 teaspoon lemon juice) and mix with 1/2 cup of water. Add 10 drops of grapefruit and 5 drops rosemary to nourish your hair. Add your mixture to a glass spray bottle and spray it on your locks, avoiding your scalp, before going out in the sun. The more you use the lighter the hair will be!

The lemon is often associated with freshness and purity. Known for its delightful aroma, lemon essential oil provides a gently uplifting effect and enhances aromatherapy blends for the bath. It can be combined nicely with essences of relaxing lavender and exotic neroli – distilled from the flowers of the bitter orange tree and is recognized for its deep, floral aroma – as well as other cheery citrus oils like tangerine and grapefruit.

If you wish to enhance the scent differently, try a few drops of another citrusy essential oil – bergamot – an ingredient in Earl Grey Tea. Bergamot, a small citrus tree which blossoms during the winter and grows commercially in Calabria, Italy, is likely a hybrid of sweet lime and bitter orange. It also features prominently in French perfume, including, since 1921, along with neroli and Amalfi lemon, Chanel No. 5.

According to draxe.com/lemon-essential-oiluses-benefits, lemon essential oil benefits for skin include purifying, nourishing, and hydrating skin. Use lemon oil on the skin with baking soda or raw honey as a natural homemade face cleanser.

Sources abound with clever uses of the lemon. “501 Amazing Uses for Salt, Vinegar, Baking Soda, Olive Oil & Lemons” by Laura Westdale suggests adding 1 tablespoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon sea salt, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to running water to enjoy a “fizzy lemon-scented bath.” For more effervescence, add more baking soda. Toss in a few lemon slices to float for a burst of color.

Relax in the warmth of the water with a bath pillow and breathe deeply the fresh lemon scent and emerge with soft, supple skin.

SculpSure

™

A breakthrough non-invasive body contouring treatment for fat that has been unresponsive to diet and exercise

only at Solaris Laser & Skin Care www.solarislasercare.com

No matter how mindful you are with your diet and exercise, excess fat in certain places sometimes just won’t budge.

Those annoying bulges can become a big source of frustration, by hindering clothing options, limiting fashion choices and creating “mirror avoidance”. But all hope is not lost; a better body is right around the corner. If you need to address bulges, SculpSure™ may be the right solution.

SculpSure ™ is a breakthrough in laser-based body contouring designed to reduce stubborn fat in problem areas such as the abdomen and love handles, helping you achieve a slimmer and natural looking appearance without surgery or downtime.

To begin, a clinician will mark your desired areas of treatment and will apply a customized applicator pattern for optimal results. Each applicator will be secured into the plastic frame to hold it in place. At any time during the treatment, you can press a transmitter button to reach the clinician.

When the treatment starts you’ll feel a cooling sensation which helps you stay comfortable. Within minutes you’ll feel intervals of deep warmth followed by cooling which is a good indicator that SculpSure™ has targeted your fat cells and means that you are in the fat destruction zone and it takes only 25 minutes for each area treatment.

There is no recovery time following treatment, so you can resume your daily activities immediately.

When can I see results and are they permanent?

BEAUTY

What happens during the procedure?

SculpSure’s body contouring technology is able to target and destroy these fat cells in just 25 minutes without affecting the skin’s surface. Over time, these damaged fat cells are naturally absorbed and removed from the body, with results seen as quickly as six weeks, and optimal results typically seen at 12 weeks. SculpSure™ has an over 90% patient satisfaction rate, and you can expect to see up to 24% fat reduction without damage to dermal tissue.

Why are so many men attracted to a non-surgical fat freezing procedure?

Men everywhere have been looking to find the right balance in the pursuit of six pack abs and a six pack of beer among friends. One common thing we hear from both male and female patients is that they’ve tried everything. They’ve stuck to healthy diets, worked out regularly, and managed to maintain an overall weight that they’re happy with. But still, no matter how hard they try, they have those unwanted, stubborn pockets of fat around their midsection, back, or thighs. No matter how hard they try to follow the strictest lifestyle parameters, it just won’t go away. That is where the revolutionary fat freezing comes in.

What makes fat freezing so unique?

Developed by scientists at Harvard, this groundbreaking treatment uses the science of cold to eliminate fat cells for good. Patients love it because there’s no surgery and no downtime required. For a specific time period, consistent cold temperatures are applied to the targeted areas of unwanted fat. Because fat freezes at higher temperatures than water, only fat cells are killed while the surrounding tissues are left unharmed. Over the three months that follow a fat freezing treatment, the body naturally processes and eliminates these dead cells, eventually revealing a more trim and contoured silhouette.

Non-surgical Body contouring

Coolsculpting vs Venus Freeze Though the results of Coolsculpting and Venus Freeze look similar, the treatments are actually quite different.

The Venus Freeze has been referred to by some doctors as a non-surgical tummy tuck and actually does not use cold temperature for treatment at all. The Venus Freeze tightens skin on any area of the body where the skin has laxity. Venus Freeze’s common treatment areas include the arms, abdomen, thighs, neck and even the face. The treatment is noninvasive and comfortable and several treatments are recommended to get the best results possible. The Venus Freeze does not destroy fat cells, but shrinks them by reducing the lipids existing within them.

Venus Freeze is best for is stimulating collagen and promoting skin tightening.

Coolsculpting is different because it actually manipulates temperature to attack and destroy fat cells. Through a process called cryolipolysis, fat cells are destroyed after they are brought to just above freezing temperatures. Coolsculpting is recommended for patients who have stubborn localized areas of fat which do not respond to diet or to exercise—usually the waist area or the love handles.

What makes the fat freezing procedures so popular?

Half of the patients who visit Clinics for body contouring appointments are men who are usually targeting stubborn fat around the love handles, abdominal and back areas. This even gender split is not something I see in any other procedure performed at the clinic. Men are not open to downtimes and having to lose time at work, so they don’t like to have surgery. This treatment is something you can do on your lunch break.
