Walking into the new home of Integrative Healing Center, in Great Neck, is a breathtaking experience. There is ample parking and beautiful white walls and furniture that leave the client feeling at ease. More than the décor, though, the pairing of Integrative Healing Center and Aristocrat Plastic Surgery & MedAesthetics seems unique.
Kristine Blanche, PhD, director of Integrative Healing Center, and Kevin Tehrani, M.D., FACS, owner of Aristocrat Plastic Surgery & MedAesthetics, are completely like-minded individuals. Blanche explains how it came to be that Aristocrat was the new home of Integrative. She smiles and mentions her angels must have surely guided her. “Dr. Tehrani truly believes in the things we do at Integrative.” Case in point, Natural Awakenings Long Island is conducting this interview while both Tehrani and Blanche are receiving their weekly vitamin drips. “Dr. Tehrani truly walks the walk,” adds Blanche. “He believes in the power of integrative medicine to the same degree that I do, so it was a perfect partnership.”
For Tehrani, he, too, saw a perfect synergy. Tehrani started his practice more than 12 years ago with just 1,800 square feet, and now his office, with the inclusion of Integrative, is a vast 10,000 square feet. While the space was growing to accommodate all the advancement in anti-aging procedures, Tehrani had been looking for this sort of pairing for years. Tehrani is truly an artist when it comes to helping people feel good about themselves based on things he can do on the outside, but if his patients are not caring for their body as a whole they are missing a huge component to anti-aging and beautification.
“The anti-aging field cannot be only what is done on the outside, it must be a comprehensive approach and must include what you put into your body, and how you care for your body and address your body’s needs,” says Tehrani, with a smile. This is where Integrative fits in. Integrative at Aristocrat Plastic Surgery offers many pre- and post- surgery natural therapeutic treatments, including essential oil raindrop therapy, Reiki treatments, vitamin drips and the use of Bio-Mats for lying on before or after a procedure—all to help speed healing and the body’s recovery.
Aristocrat has managed to create a natural, holistic experience within its plastic surgery practice that is like nothing else on the Island, and is always focusing on the latest and hottest noninvasive anti-aging therapies, including Thermi RF, SkinTyte, Zeltiq CoolSculpting and ultherapy. “There are many things that we can do that are noninvasive that will have beautiful visual results; it is exciting,” says Tehrani. He goes on to explain that their mission is to provide more than what a standard plastic surgery or medaesthetics practice may offer, with a primary goal being that the “patients’ results be synergistic with a lifestyle of anti-aging and beautification.” For some this may mean hormones, vitamins, cleansing or essential oils. Integrative’s move and partnership with Aristocrat offers an ideal symbiotic medical relationship that is focused on anti-aging inside and out.
