Best Results
Beauty Prescribed with the Medspalogist
At the H2T Skin and Laser Center, we obviously value optimal results when it comes to the various procedures that we offer, so we thought that we would talk today about what “best results” look like when it comes to a couple of the procedures that we offer. Beginning with facial rebalancing, we detail what that is and why it has become more necessary over the last decade or so. We discuss how the heart of the problem is sometimes surprising to our clients because they don’t initially recognize that as the issue. It’s really important in certain circumstances, however, to trust your...

Beauty Prescribed with the Medspalogist
We need the sunlight to survive, but it can also be incredibly dangerous and bad for us which is why sunscreen is so important.

info_outlineBeauty Prescribed with the Medspalogist is back, everyone, I, your Medsapologist Matt Azulay-LaFever, am now joined by my husband and business partner John Azulay-LaFever! We sit down together for this episode to have the kind of conversation that we have been having with clients for years - equal parts education, real talk, and pointing out the absurdity of what people are told to simply “live with.” We’re unpacking three major services now available at H2T Skin and Laser Center: testosterone replacement for men, hormone replacement therapy for women, and our new concierge medicine program!
We open up about our own experiences with testosterone therapy, the frustrating symptoms that so many people dismiss as “just aging,” and why we believe feeling exhausted, foggy, unmotivated, and disconnected from your own body shouldn’t be accepted as normal in your forties - or at any age, truthfully. We also get into the massive gaps in women’s healthcare, the outdated fears surrounding HRT, and the life-changing changes that we have seen firsthand when women finally receive treatment that actually addresses their symptoms instead of brushing them aside.
We also introduce concierge medicine and explain why we created it out of sheer frustration with today’s rushed healthcare system. From same-day help to also doing consultations we are sharing how this service is designed to make life easier, more personal, and a whole lot less stressful. We are excited to be back, and remember, we are here to help you be the best that you can possibly be, so book a consultation!
