The beautiful medspa in the heart of Beverly Hills has a rarified air of elegant yet relaxed and friendly ambiance. The refined beauty of the settings to me are a reflection of what they offer and maintain for their clients day after day. But you don't have to be a celebrity to get the utmost in personal attention here, as Dr. Leaf and his staff have the attititude that 'you are all cherished celebrities'. Located at the gorgeous 436 N. Bedford Dr. building at the courtyard level, it's an experience one would be glad they chose and trusted in the true professionals for their aesthetic procedures.

After a detailed consultation with Barbara McKeon, RN, one of their highly experienced skincare professionals and the nursing director, I selected one of Leaf and Rush's alternative procedures that requires no down-time on the part of the patient and is literally pain-free. To me, this is one of the most amazing and exciting advancements in the pursuit of youth and beauty. Titan is ideal for patients showing initial signs of aging and who are not yet ready for a face lift, to more mature patients looking for a non-surgical way to treat loose skin on the face, jowls and neck. The TITAN™ Skin Tightening' Non-Surgical Lift is the most advanced non-surgical, skin lift and tightening technology available today. There is no need to take pain medication for the Titan procedure. The procedure was painless, even enjoyable, and I noticed results immediately. Although some people see results immediately, the results get better over a three to six month time period, as new collagen is formed and the skin tightens. TITAN™ technology uses an infrared light source to heat the dermis causing immediate collagen contraction while preserving the epidermis through contact cooling. This procedure is comfortable and safe for all skin types. Titan has proven effective on various areas such as the face, neck, forehead, abdomen, upper arms, and thighs. It also tightens loose skin and treats skin laxity caused by prior weight loss. Ultimately, Titan can stimulate long-term collagen growth and tissue rebuilding leaving you with younger looking tighter skin without surgery. The staff receives extensive training from Cutera, the maker of Titan, to insure proper procedure and safe and effective results
The soothing, luxurious surroundings and attentive care from the clinic's staff made the whole process seem more like a retreat than a procedure.
Not only is Dr. Leaf a proven leader and innovator in his field, but he has also added many more affordable and less invasive surgical options to take years away from sun-damaged and aging skin. When the downturn in the economy 5-6 years ago was reflected in fewer requests for expensive cosmetic surgeries, this challenged Dr. Leaf to add new, lower-cost ways to improve appearance and reduce down-time....Their amazing products: Leaf and Rush's philosophy is to focus on surface and sub-surface skin layers to dramatically improve skin. Using their combined experience in medicine, injectables and medical research, they sought out the most advanced ingredients and technological innovations available today to create a simple, easy to use and highly effective skincare system. Leaf & Rusher's tagline, "Tested on celebrities...not animals", was born of their celebrity patients' need for a highly effective, no-nonsense skincare regimen. They developed one of the most scientifically advanced skincare programs available and presented the product samples to their celebrity patients to test, tweak and approve!
