Nov. 11, 2017
WHAT MAKES MONTROSE Med Spa stand apart from the competition? We set ourselves apart from the competition by being consistently focused on one thing: the patient. With that focus, we will succeed in a successful and healthy experience and loyalty to Montrose Med Spa. Staying true to our message of intentional wellness is a point of difference where I see other spas being unclear and distracted in their direction. By listening to our patients, we ensure we meet and exceed their expectations. We continually stay on top of the market by offering the best innovative body sculpting and skin treatments that invigorate and energize and are specifically designed to restore balance and strength and renew youth to the body. We also utilize a number of marketing programs to stay on the minds of our guests, including radio, TV, direct mail, email blasts, and unique invitations for exclusive treatments. One element that helps to establish the bar and sets us apart from our competition is our emphasis on providing a complete medical gym experience—from the varied treatments with Emsculpt Neo to a personalized health and wellness and skin evaluation for each individual by our certified staff. We also provide a noninvasive, pain-free, and needle-free facelift through EMFace in addition to offering monthly beauty memberships that create a commitment to the overall wellbeing of the patient.

What is EMFACE? EMFACE is a revolution in facial treatments. It is noninvasive, pain-free, and needle-free. By emitting both Synchronized RF and HIFESTM energies, it simultaneously affects the skin and muscles. The end result is less wrinkles and more lift naturally without needles. Best of all, EMFACE treats the entire face in only 20-minutes. Some plastic surgeons are recommending EMFace to patients prior to conducting facelifts! There is nothing like EmFace on the market.
What is EMSculptNeo? EMSculptNeo is the first non-invasive device designed to eliminate fat cells and build muscle non-invasively by a unique combination of radio frequency heating & HIFEMTM in a single 30-minute treatment session. Two treatments in one! EmSculptNeo builds off the legacy of its predecessor, EMSculpt, by simultaneously emitting both radiofrequency and high-intensity electromagnetic energies. The result is more fat reduction and muscle growth than any gold-standard product for less time and no downtime compared to plastic surgery. EMSculptNeo has broad appeal as it can treat patients up to BMI 35! EMSculpt Neo is also for athletes looking to enhance their performance by improving their core muscle strength and overall quality of their workouts. A therapeutic treatment that can also help treat muscle imbalance. Truly a game changer.
Do you offer memberships or other perks? Absolutely. Our beauty and medical gym memberships allow our patients to take advantage of member-only perks and pricing. We also have member-only events and holiday parties. At Montrose Med Spa, we are a community.

UPTOWN, DOWNTOWN, GALLERIA, Heights, Bellaire or Montrose — wherever you are, here’s where to take the edge off a long day with gently priced eats and drinks. We threw in a suggestion for safe discounted rides, too. Cheers!
Artisans
Artisans celebrates social hour every Monday through Friday from 3pm-7pm with discounted cocktails, wines and French-inspired fare. Come hungry for charcuterie boards and salmon crudo, and thirsty for $10 glasses or $36 bottles of wine and cocktails. All small bites are $12 — or order all five starters for $50!

Choose from sushi rolls, grilled scallops, wagyu and kimchi dumplings, a burger with truffle fries, Japanese fried chicken, and more. Beer, wines, cocktails and sake are also specially priced.

AN ANNUAL EVENT to raise funds for some of the top Astros players’ favorite causes was a glam slam, thanks to a new venue and major league star power.
José Altuve, Kyle Tucker and Josh Hader hosted the event — attended by many of their teammates and more than 500 other guests — at Post Oak Hotel and won big for their charities. Tucker supports Hospice care organizations, while Altuve's foundation donates to several groups, including the Sunshine Kids Foundation. And Hader backs foster-care nonprofits like Covenant House and Be a Resource (B.E.A.R.). The Lance McCullers, Jr. Foundation, which raises funds and awareness for pet rescue and adoption groups, also received proceeds from the party.
This year's Team Up bash was more of an expo-style soiree, with an entrance flanked by Rolls Royce and Bentley vehicles and a towering Champagne Wall. With an open bar courtesy of Maven — which is also co-owned by Astros players — and stations serving bites from some of the best restaurants in town, the party was a hit. And who wouldn't want to pet the precious puppies who are up for adoption? Reps from local nonprofits brought their furry friends to promote the cause.
But add in a raucous live auction emceed by Johnny Holloway and touting all-star prizes, and it's no wonder that the Team Up fundraising record of $600,000 was topped! One of the most sought-after items was a private catered dinner with hosts Tucker, Altuve and Hader; the trio also donated autographed gear and custom art created by Skel and signed by the players. There was also the chance to throw the first pitch at a game, and to sit in owner Jim Crane's personal Diamond Club seats to cheer on the 'Stros.
