THE NEW DOCTOR BAG?
These days beauty junkies are puckering up to make the cut for the cosmetic house call. But entrée into the medical company of the moment isn’t exactly easy: their phone number is unlisted. For the cosmetically conscious, finding the coveted 10 digits to Los Angeles Concierge Aesthetic Medicine is proving harder than getting into Studio 54 back in the day. Let’s just say you have to move in certain circles to get it.
Maybe the operation is so clandestine because the clientele includes some of Hollywood’s A-list actresses who prefer not being seen leaving a doctor’s office with unsightly needle marks – a telltale sign of Botox or Restalyne. “Given the caliber of people we’re treating they want their privacy,” says 38-year old C. Auden Mallas, the porcelain-skinned physician assistant frequently dispatched throughout Los Angeles to the homes of the rich and famous. Ms. Mallas is tight-lipped—and not due to a recent procedure—about the operation and her client list. After all, she’s seen her share of paparazzi lurking about having worked for a number of high profile dermatologists and plastic surgeons on both coasts.
But its not just celebrities seeking the house call, certain social women like the convenience of it as well. On a recent Monday afternoon, Ms. Mallas was summoned to the home of a Westside socialite. Clad in a pair of capri pants, a cardigan sweater, and toting a large, black (50cm) Birkin bag, the tall, brunette made her way into the estate.
She was greeted at the door by a blonde 30-something client who was dealing with a host of vexing social problems. “My husband doesn’t know I do this,” she confesses, then adds, “And I need to go out in four hours and look like I haven’t done anything.” Mallas shakes her head knowingly and then throws open her Birkin which is filled with everything from Botox on ice to numbing solutions.
Then the two go up a marble stair case and begin a suite of procedures which includes Botox, Restalyne, a glycolic peel and finally, a bill totaling $1000, which, incidentally, is right about what a top Beverly Hill doctor would charge if not a little less.
When asked why they keep their number unlisted, she sighs, “We don’t want people calling all the time,” she says. “It is strictly by referral.” Well, their number may be unlisted, but if you’re desperate to book an appointment Beauty Undercover has found their email. md@plasticsurgeonmalibu.com Btw…The Huffington Post asked us to sleuth around to get a little more info about the paparazzi side of this.
