SALMON DNA FACIAL AT SPA AQUAE
JW MARRIOTT LAS VEGAS
In addition to unveiling a beautifully refreshed space last August, this luxurious resort retreat enhanced their menu by adding a caviar facial and a salmon DNA facial— both which“ are in alignment with our wellness philosophy of the healing power of water, which ties to our name,” explains Miesha Cox, director of hotel operations at JW Marriott Las Vegas. The buzzy salmon DNA facial— also known as the PDRN facial— has been touted by celebrities and social media influencers as the latest way to repair skin damage, reduce inflammation and improve elasticity.

PLATELET-RICH FIBRIN( PRF) EZGEL
AT NUANCE AESTHETICS & PLASTIC SURGERY
There a lot of reasons to love Nuance, a medspa and clinic, tucked away in an office park in Summerlin: the friendly atmosphere, the curated selection of medical grade skincare brands, and, most of all, founder Dr. Jeannie Khavkin, one of the few female board-certified and fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeons in Nevada. Here, every procedure and treatment is aimed at natural-looking results, whether it is performed by the doctor or by one of her highly-skilled staff such as Julia Benko, a nurse practitioner. One of the newest ways they reverse aging is with PRF EzGel, a natural, regenerative treatment derived from the patient’ s own blood that is injected into problem areas including under eyes, marionettes and cheeks.“ PRF EzGel uses your own platelet-rich fibrin, which is formed into a biostimulatory filler,” says Benko.“ The growth factors help your body naturally stimulate collagen and elastin.” Gradual improvements are most noticeable within a few weeks and can last 12-18 months. For optimal outcomes, a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended.“ It’ s one of my favorite procedures for my patients due to the natural results,” says Benko.
