The Art & Science Of Beauty ÉLAN Aesthetics, a boutique medical spa, announces new location and expansion in Hyde Park Village. ÉLAN Aesthetics is slated to open in their new location at 1503 West Swann Avenue next to On Swann in October 2021. ÉLAN’s new space will feature the same elegant white and gold décor with an upscale vibe, but is double the square footage to accommodate their growth. Four additional treatment rooms, a larger reception area to keep their clients comfortable, and newly dedicated rooms for lasers and facials will help accommodate their growing menu of offerings. Since ÉLAN opened its doors, owners Katrina Riley and Lindsey Cronk — Nurse Practitioners and long-time best friends, have created something special. Their passion, dedication, and love for what they do have helped develop relationships with clients, many of whom have become like family.

“At ÉLAN Aesthetics, we provide a unique experience with the most progressive aesthetic techniques and advanced products and services on the market. That mixed with our artistic touch, has proudly given us the recognition of 2021 ‘Top 100 Best Injectors in America’, Med-Aesthetics 2021 ‘Top 10 Aesthetic Clinics in America’ and ‘Best of South Tampa’ two years in a row,” says Katrina Riley, MSN, APRN-C, Co-Owner of ÉLAN Aesthetics. “Our boutique experience is unique, special, and personable; and something you can only get at ÉLAN. We personalize our aesthetic treatments to each client and are committed not only to providing beauty on the outside, but helping to promote self-confidence within our clients.” The team at ÉLAN Aesthetics brings years of experience, knowledge, passion and advanced techniques to get you results you will love. All medical providers are highly experienced and trained, often attending advanced trainings around the world. They are best known for

being early adopters of the latest technologies and most cutting-edge treatments. In 2021 Katrina and Lindsey were the first medspa in Tampa to welcome Tetra CO2 from Cartessa Aesthetics, as well as a brand new body contouring option — PHYSIQ which combines both fat burning and muscle stimulation! With ÉLAN’s continued success and growing clientele after just a year in business, the need for a new, larger space and increased menu offerings has required expansion efforts. “We’ve always wanted to maintain that small, boutique feel,” says Lindsey Cronk, Co-Owner of ÉLAN,“but we’ve quickly run out of space with the growing demands of our business. We are dedicated to always keeping that very intimate, personalized experience — but with clients calling to make an appointment and a long wait list to get in, we also didn’t want to stifle our business.” The team has brought on two new Nurse Practitioners to round out their stellar team of talent and will possibly add a second Aesthetician at their new location.

HEALTH 5 Simple, Natural Ways to Boost Immunity By Family Features

our body’s immune system protects against illness and infection, fighting off threats before you even know there’s a problem. Even though your immune system usually does its job automatically, you can give it a boost with habits that promote wellness and support immunity. Eat healthy fruits and vegetables. Although you may not be aware they contain flavonoids, these phytochemicals found in some fruits and veggies are a vital part of maintaining health. Flavonoids are found in colorful fruits and vegetables like cranberries and elderberries. When it comes to power foods, elderberries’ exceptional flavanol levels make them an immune system powerhouse. Especially important during cold and flu season, elderberries can also be enjoyed in a cup of warm tea for instant comfort. Reduce stress with outdoor activity. Keeping physically fit provides numerous health benefits such as reducing stress by being one with nature through taking a walk outside. The sun’s UV rays help your body produce vitamin D, which is important for your bones, blood cells and immune system, as well as helping absorb and use certain nutrients. Yoga and massage can also

be used to help stimulate the immune system and promote well-being. Keep a regular sleep schedule. Sleep gives you an opportunity to recharge. This is when cellular regeneration and other healing is most efficient. Keeping a regular routine helps signal to your system that it’s time to rest so you can fall asleep easier and reap the whole-body benefits of a healthy sleep cycle. Wash hands frequently. Especially during the school year, when germs are rampant and easily carried from school to home, you can give your immune system a hand, literally, by frequently scrubbing away germs before they have the chance to attack. Rely on natural remedies. Modern, stressful lifestyles and exposure to environmental pollutants can put immune systems under pressure. However, some of your existing soothing rituals can actually support better health, too. One example is relaxing with a hot cup of tea. The natural and organic ingredients found in Buddha Teas provide numerous health benefits. Options like Mushroom Wellness, Divine Immunity, Elderberry Tea and Reiki Mushroom blends all contain immunity-boosting ingredients.
