I met Miss Elaine a.k.a. nurse 90210 a few months in my business coaching class, SMBG, Social media…read morebusiness growth, By Coach Jay Aquino.
I heard so many wonderful things about this mega luxe facial treatment she offered and what really impressed me was the before and after pictures and the type of people that would come in for this service. Models, actors every day people, movie industry people, bloggers, we're coming to book with Nurse 90210 for the Megalux treatment. The before and after photos were unbelievable & I wanted in on those results!
Nurse 90210 had a special running at Gravitas. The Megalux facial treatment for $400, a of value of over $500 during the month of March for her birthday. I booked ahead of time and pre-paid for my treatment.
I booked for Friday, May 21 the day after my birthday.
Nurse 90210 and her staff are warm & thorough when you book. Not only did I receive a reminder via text I also received reminders via email which was nice! It reminded me to put it on my calendar & plan a lunch ahead of time for my husband & I. I was also given thorough instructions on how to get there, where to park and how to get to the office from the structure, and to allow for about 10 to 15 minutes of time to get situated and to get undressed and ready for my treatment.
Wear comfortable clothes and good walking shoes, you will have to take the stairs, maybe an escalator and there's a lot of work being done around the plaza in the mall. You will have to go to the garden level in order to get to Suite 13, Gravitas Medspa. There is a lot of hustle and bustle on Rodeo Dr. so there is going to be traffic, so allow yourself an extra 30 minutes when you leave for your facial. Or, ask someone to drive you so you can be relaxed even after your facial!
It's best not to wear any make up, possibly bring a hat or cap afterwards and sunglasses. You don't want to be exposed to so much light.
Be prepared to be relaxed & pampered!
After I met with Elaine, I quickly got inside the suite to undress & put on a smock. She had the facial bed ready & was layered with a soft blanket & clean sheets. The room is beautifully decorated in a glam style & was neutral in smell. It was very clean & tidy. Everything was well thought out & handled with care.
She started off by cleansing my face, then the epidermal sweeping & put an amazing smelling cream that reminded me of a Piña Colada. Instantly I relaxed & started to feel myself melt into the massage bed.
The treatment progressed into more intense procedures. Be warned, the extractions may hurt, or at the very least experience pressure.
Luckily, I didn't have too many extractions.
The best part of the experience for me, and was so unexpected, was the parafin wax she put my hands & feet in! OH MY GOSH! It was warm, soothing, instantly relaxed me even more & it was nice because she keeps the room pretty cool so it's a nice contrast (she did ask at the start if I wanted a heated pad for my back, but declined). The mask she put on my face had time to activate & so it's magic while she put this on my hands & feet. It's a WONDERFUL experience to be had!
Afterwards, she takes the bags wrapped around your hands & feet & wipes off the wax. Then lathers you with moisturizer or lotion. Then she takes off my face mask & puts on an amazing cooling gel. Btw, everything smelled amazing! Not over powering, just pleasant & nice!
She also massaged my neck, shoulders & upper back from the position I was in. It was an overall relaxing treatment & I'd do it every week if I could, but it really is a treat! One that both women & men should experience! This is coming from someone that has had many facials & huge on beauty & relaxation.
Nurse 90210 was also kind enough to ask about my beauty regimen, which currently, I had none. I've been so busy catering & working my business the last year & a half to establish a new one. So, she recommended some basic, every day products from the Olivia Quido line that is sold in some major department stores like Nordstrom & is used by the Miss Universe Pagent.
I received a 20% discount because it was my birthday treatment and I was able to purchase everything for about $300 and saved myself quite a bit of money. The supplies I got would last me at least 3-4 months, maybe even 6 if I was mindful of my usage. Btw, this is for a day & night routine. I didn't mind paying this as it is preventative care for my skin, and now that I'm 42, much more aware of.
I will continue going for treatments at Gravitas into the for seeable future.
Do yourself a favor & book now! She is in high demand!
