Our latest obsession?? It's NAD.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme naturally found in every cell of your body. It plays a crucial role in energy production, metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular health. As we age or experience stress, NAD+ levels can decline, which can contribute to fatigue, brain fog, and slower recovery.

How NAD+ Works:
→Supports cellular energy production → helps your cells convert nutrients into energy more efficiently
→Enhances mental clarity and focus → by improving brain cell function and neurotransmitter support
→Promotes DNA repair & anti-aging → helps your body maintain healthy cells and slow the effects of cellular stress

Why NAD+ therapy at Essential:
✔️Helps restore sustained energy and vitality
✔️Supports recovery from stress, exercise, or busy lifestyles
✔️Works as a foundation for wellness alongside other treatments like HRT, GLP-1 therapy, and advanced skincare

In short, NAD+ helps your body function at its best from the inside out, supporting energy, focus, and overall vitality.

SAVE $25 - visit us in January for a NAD+ injectable for just $50!

The Perfect Derma Peel is a professional-strength chemical peel designed to improve pigmentation, acne, texture, and fine lines—all while being safe for all skin types. Unlike many traditional peels, it combines multiple acids for controlled exfoliation, delivering noticeable results without prolonged downtime. This treatment does have some "downtime" with visible peeling for 3-7 days. The first step is to book a skin treatment consultation to determine candidacy and learn how the peel works so you can schedule appropriately.

How it works:
→Exfoliates the skin to remove dead cells and stimulate cell turnover
→Supports collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother skin
→Targets pigmentation and acne for an even, glowing complexion

The role of glutathione:
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant included in the Perfect Derma Peel formula. It helps:
✔️ Brighten skin tone by inhibiting melanin production
✔️ Neutralize free radicals that cause premature aging
✔️ Enhance overall peel results, making skin look healthier, radiant, and balanced

The combination of advanced acids and glutathione makes this peel effective for a wide range of concerns—from stubborn hyperpigmentation to uneven texture—while supporting the skin’s natural repair and protection mechanisms.

January is the perfect time to focus on your health, energy, and confidence—and at Essential, we have solutions tailored to help you feel your best from the inside out Let's take a closer look at some of our best product options to help you with your 2026 goals.

Let's start with examining GLP-1 (01):

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone in your body that helps regulate blood sugar, appetite, and digestion. It has become increasingly more popular in the last several years as a valuable tool that helps support weight management, appetite control, and metabolic health. We have offered GLP-1 management since 2023 at Essential. Our weight management programs offer careful oversight and tailored dosing so you see results and minimize excess medication and side effects. Microdosing ($179) and traditional plans ($449-749) are available on a month-to-month basis; designed to adjust along with your goals.

To get started, simply book a Weight Management Consultation with one of our Nurse Practitioners, Busayo, Sarah or Christina. They will review your medical history, lifestyle and goals to determine your candidacy and get started. Non GLP-1 medication options are also available!

Your consultation fee is applied to your first month of care so you have nothing to lose....except lbs!

As we close out 2025, we want to pause and say thank you.

This year has been one of growth, impact, and meaningful connection—and none of it would be possible without you. Your trust, your visits, your referrals, and your belief in our mission are what allow Essential to thrive.

This past year we introduced our The Perfect Derma™ Peel (https://theperfectdermapeel.com/) , a safe and effective solution for hyperpigmentation across all skin types, and launched our functional lab testing and Menopause Division (https://www.essentialmedspa.com/womenshealth) , offering women access to care, answers, and hormone replacement therapy. There were lots of post-visit hugs.

Because of our community, this year we celebrated multiple exciting milestones in addition to the work we do at our practice. Each milestone reflects our commitment to education, access, and care for women at every stage of life and a reflection of our incredible team of women who provide care and education to our community.

products (pads, tampons, cups, etc.), new underwear (including period underwear), and new or gently used bras (especially larger sizes) to provide for women and girls experiencing homelessness or hardship, helping them maintain health and dignity.

Rosie's Place (https://www.rosiesplace.org/) is a Boston institution that provides a safe and nurturing environment that helps poor and homeless women maintain their dignity, seek opportunity and find security in their lives.

Both philanthropy websites are linked if you'd like to support them or feel free to drop off a donation at your next visit!

In Massachusetts, there are more than 1,600 medical spas — yet only about 10 are licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health as medical clinics.
Essential Advanced Skincare and Medspa is one of them.

We’re honored to announce that we have been successfully re-licensed for 2025, reaffirming our commitment to the highest medical standards in aesthetic care.

✔Care delivered under medical-grade safety and oversight
✔State-regulated protocols for infection control and patient protection
✔Clear medical accountability — not just cosmetic services

This distinction reflects our belief that luxury aesthetics should never compromise medical integrity. Your skin, your health, and your trust deserve nothing less.

Thank you for choosing Essential — where beauty meets a higher standard of care.

Gift cards can be:
✔️Used throughout 2026 and beyond
✔️Applied toward treatments, services, products and care
✔️A smart way to save while planning ahead
✔️Purchase today, save now, & treat yourself (or someone you love) all year long!

As we look ahead to 2026, we wanted to share something from the heart.

Essential exists because of you. Your regular visits, your trust, and your decision to choose us for your care are what allow our small, locally owned practice to thrive, grow, and continue offering thoughtful, elevated care for women — inside and out.

Our dream is simple but powerful: to help more women feel like themselves again — supported through hormonal changes, confident in their skin, and cared for in a space that truly listens.

If you ever think of a friend, sister, coworker, or loved one who would appreciate the kind of care we provide, we’d be so grateful if you invited them to visit us in the year ahead. Personal referrals mean everything to us — they help us stay in business, expand our services, and continue doing the work we love.

Thank you for being part of our community and for supporting a practice built on trust, relationships, and care. Every visit, every referral, and every kind word helps keep our doors open and our mission moving forward.

We can’t wait to care for you — and those you love — in 2026. Happy New Year.

Good thing we have you covered!

Good thing we have you covered!

Perimenopause significantly drains NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) levels, linked to declining estrogen, causing cellular aging, extreme fatigue, brain fog, energy crashes, mood swings and much more because NAD+ is crucial for energy production, DNA repair and hormone balance, with lower levels impacting cellular function and intensifying menopause symptoms. Increase NAD+ through precursors or lifestyle changes can help counteract these effects, support energy and overall well-being during this transition.

🗂️Why NAD+ Levels Drop in Perimenopause:

📑Hormonal Decline: Falling estrogen levels directly correlate with a rapid decrease in NAD+.
📑Cellular Aging: Lower NAD+ accelerates the aging process at a cellular level.
📑Hormone Pathways: NAD+ supports metabolic and hormonal pathways, so declining levels disrupt estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone regulation.

🗂️Symptoms of Low NAD+ Levels During Perimenopause:

📑Sudden, crashing fatigue
📑Brain fog, forgetfulness, and difficulty concentrating
📑Irritability, anxiety and mood swings
📑Afternoon energy crashes
📑Difficulty with motivation of feeling overwhelmed constantly
📑Poor sleep quality, including night sweats

Check out the comments section for an extensive list of how to boost NAD+ levels naturally and get your life back!
