scheduled airlines’ oversold aircrafts and small, expensive corporate jets there lies an expanding demand for luxury group air travel. MLW Air addresses the group travel market with luxurious accommodations and worldwide availability. The Dallas-based company is the only worldwide air charter company with an “All First Class” Boeing 767 aircraft that is both U.S.-registered and also operating under the strictest FAA Part 121 commercial airline regulations. The custom-outfitted Boeing 767 aircraft moves groups of travelers anywhere in the world in less time, all while offering total flexibility in itinerary and with an overall lavish experience. The plane offers cabin amenities not found on scheduled airlines and custom in-flight catering limited only by imagination and budget. Additionally the aircraft was reconfigured for 100 passengers instead of the typical 200-plus passengers on airliners. Accommodations exceed the typical first-class amenities: Dual aisles feature seats with a 60-inch pitch that recline to 156 degrees, providing the maximum level of comfort for sleeping. Catering consists of an unlimited selection of quality entrees and spirits tailored to meet corporate or individual group charter requirements. An alternate seating configuration is also available, which includes five lie-flat seats reducing the aircraft to 92 first-class passenger seats. While a highly trained dedicated pool of pilots and flight attendants move travelers along their journey, each trip is made more enjoyable by the cabin’s high-definition LCD displays for movies and the flighttracking moving maps. What trumps the luxuries, however, is the experience. Passengers traveling with MLW Air avoid standard airport lines, don’t have to deal with luggage problems or schedules, and score greater convenience overall. Now in its 10th year, MLW Air is owned by CEO Martin Woodall and his longtime Dallas business partner Mark Cuban. The plane is based at Dallas Love Field. The wide-body aircraft is managed and operated by Atlas Air (AtlasAir.com). Atlas Air operates the MLW Air 767 along with a fleet of more than 50 wide-body freight and passenger charter aircraft. Operations by Atlas provides MLW Air 767 worldwide operating authority for their unique solution to “All First Class” air travel and specializing in Any Time – Any Where – Any Duration. In use since 2007, the 767-200 was purchased from Aero Turbine, Inc., with MLW investing $10 million to refurbish it both inside and out. As the crown jewel of the company’s fleet, 767 received new exterior colors, state-of-the-art avionics upgrades, a complete upgraded interior, more pleasant white LED lighting, and full leather upholstered seats in a 2-2-2 configuration. For each passenger seat, massive overhead bins, built in water-bottle holders, dual-tray tables, and 110 volt power ports give all PDAs, laptops, and the latest personal entertainment devices nonstop utilization while on board. The aircrafts are ideal for anyone looking for quick and efficient luxury travel, including government trips, use by television and movie studios, subservice air charters, tours, private or destination weddings, and for Heads of State, diplomats, celebrities, entertainers,

Alex Innes: Creativity Behind Rolls-Royce’s Customization

a vehicle with an exterior or interior matching a customer’s lipstick or cufflinks, designing matching walking sticks, or, with the newer Wraith, developing constellation patterns appropriate for the sky’s alignment at a particular point of the year. Yet, there are limitations; for instance, when it comes to interior fabric, Rolls-Royce won’t display a monogram from another brand. “In terms of outcomes, this again varies hugely,” Innes says as he went into detail about Bespoke’s customization possibilities. “It can be anything from the smallest piece of discreet personalization, the inclusion of a family crest or subtle initials placed carefully within the interior, to the boldest statements in color across the interior and exterior along with actual modifications to the interior configuration of the motor car.” Technology makes it possible for a customer to see what the RollsRoyce looks like before it goes to production, which itself takes about two months. Frequently, those requesting such Bespoke features go to the company’s location, but Innes, in catering to each individual’s needs, has traveled to the customer on multiple occasions – to a home, place of work, and even a yacht anywhere on the globe. “While this is a service predominantly focused on our customers, it provides us with valuable insights and inspirations which always make their way back into the studio, influencing our daily work,” Innes says. As much as Innes has been part of the creative push behind Bespoke, his background extends to an interest in both cars and art – something a teacher once told him he could combine. These days, Innes continues to take inspiration from architecture with his designs, as well as from the team he works with. He says, “Beyond my interest in architecture and some of the automotive design greats, the team I work with [inspires me]. I would credit them as the single biggest source of inspiration in terms of work ethic, quality of creativity and passion.” ■

W
hat it’s like being a key part of the world’s most innovative, luxurious auto brand. For an aspiring designer, being a key part of a major auto maker’s customization team seems like a dream come true. For Alex Innes, such a scenario became a reality just a few years ago. After studying automotive design, through the field of industrial design, at Coventry University, Innes graduated in 2008. That same year, Goodwood 360 had been looking at university students for someone to fill such a role. Innes went through the application process, including interviews and having his portfolio examined, and eventually became one of the Bespoke’s designers. Innes previously compared Rolls-Royce’s customization to the tailoring offered by Savile Row establishments in London. That being said, Innes, in an interview with Clientele Luxury, explains that while he feels privileged to have such a position, with it comes a great deal of responsibility. “RRMC is a brand with enormous gravitas and relevance, however small, to most people - customers and enthusiasts alike,” he says. “Exceeding the expectations of this highly discerning demographic is the focus of our role in the design team. RRMC is a very old and precious thing and like all precious things, it needs to be handled with a great deal of care and attention. Additionally, it has to have a relevance to the modern world we live in and more importantly shape the future of the super luxury market. We strive for our Motor Cars to be contemporary yet timeless; proportions are measured, lines are considered, and surfaces exude a level of sobriety.” Along with Rolls-Royce’s solid physical design, Bespoke sets the brand apart. The possibilities remain endless – to a point. “The scope is very difficult to quantify,” Innes explains. “It varies from customer to customer and region to region. Furthermore, the variety really is a result of the entire process. We are not sitting our customers in front of a list of pre-defined options; we are inviting them into a creative conversation. I liken my role to that of consultant, drawing a parallel with the relationship between a client and, say, an architect commissioned to build them the house of their dreams. During the early dialog with the customer, the key aspect is the convergence of creative thinking. The balance of ideas varies, some customers come with a clear vision and they are challenging our technical expertise to deliver, others arrive with a vague notion and they are looking for us to expose them to the possibilities and fuel the creative aspect of the discussion. The important element here is that the dialog is one on one with a designer, with the sole objective of capturing their aspirations wholeheartedly.” Nevertheless, Rolls-Royce must maintain a brand aesthetic. A significant part of Innes’ responsibilities involve not only being creative and catering specifically to each customer’s needs but further upholding the Rolls-Royce image. Innes, in previous interviews, has spoken about the extent he and the Bespoke team have gone: In some cases, this has involved creating

LUXE MUST HAVES
Furniture Collection by Paul Mathieu for Stephanie Odegard Collection D
uring a two-year collaboration, Stephanie Odegard introduced Paul Mathieu to craftsmen in India who are masters in their respective crafts and renowned for their century-old techniques. The result of these repeated travels is a new line of furnishings and objects, available exclusively through the Stephanie Odegard Collection. Combining the traditional crafts of stone carving, metal work, and casting in India with a classically modern approach, Paul and Stephanie worked with the master carvers in India to create functional works of art hand-made out of marble, wood, silver, brass, and a variety of other native materials. For instance, each one of the Jour table is cut from a solid block of marble, then hand carved to produce the delicate filigree work. Likewise, the ethereal lighting fixtures are hand carved from white and pink marble, taking advantage of the translucence of the materials to provide soft, one-of-a-kind lighting. www.stephanieodegard.com. â–

The Malibu Life with Madison Hildebrand
B
est known for his role on the hit Bravo show “Million Dollar Listing, Los Angeles” Madison Hildebrand has taken the real estate industry by storm over the past seven years and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. We recently had some time to speak with Madison about his newly designed home, his ever-popular TV show, and what’s coming next for this determined and successful entrepreneur. Having recently moved back into his Malibu home after leasing it to a tenant for several years, Madison spent roughly the past year working diligently to make it his dream home. The renovation began last October with the doors, windows, kitchen, and baths being knocked out to make room for his new design. Once the interior remodel was finished, Madison went to work once again, putting his personal stamp on the place. From picking out window treatments to deciding on furniture and decor, Madison was involved every step of the way. While the original interior design concept was bold and contemporary, much of the furniture and décor that ended up being utilized fell into his lap after one of his family’s investment properties sold, leaving him a house full of designer furniture. At that point, Madison, “stopped buying and had to start integrating.” The end result was an blended decor concept that featured both a beachy, yet masculine vibe. “I would call it bold beach theme,” he says of his humble abode. While the result was different than originally planned, the concept still manages to retain much of the bold features he had set out to create. “It’s definitely Madison. It kind of feels like the clothes I wear and walk around in. It represents me for sure.” he says. The opportunity to collaborate with some of his favorite contractor and interior design clients on his own home remodel was one of his favorite parts. “It was a long process, but a fun one” Madison reflects on the process. Each year, Madison takes time to reflect back on his success, “it’s been a wild ride since graduating from Pepperdine in 03’.” After spending a couple of years immediately following graduation to travel and simply enjoy life, he committed himself to the real estate industry roughly seven years ago. It was hard work, consisting of early mornings and late nights, that earned Madison his relatively quick success. “I had no problem being there for a 12 hour day...I put in my blood, sweat, and tears” says Madison. Often the first person at the office and the last to leave, he would spend hours sitting on the floor of his mentor’s office simply trying to absorb the tips and advice said within those four walls. “I don’t feel like I’m chasing a dream. I feel like I’m creating my reality.” says Madison. It was this sort of determination that led to his success. With this type of persistence, it’s no wonder Madison was
presented with the opportunity to be a part of Million Dollar Listing. More than six years later, Madison says of the show, “It’s definitely been a huge part of my life.” Last season was incredibly well-received and earned the show’s highest ratings of any season to date. “I feel like I’ve got the opportunity to grow faster than maybe someone else that isn’t in the spotlight taking criticism every year after every episode.” Madison says. When asked what inspires him within the realm of real estate, “Honestly I love the spontaneity and the unpredictability of the business.” Having entered the business at arguably the highest point of real estate, he (along with the rest of the nation) had to ride out the low points that coincided with the economic recession. He survived the lows and is once again enjoying the current economic growth from his view at the top. Madison finds himself inspired by the unique people within his community and the process of getting acquainted with them. “I never know who’s going to call, I never know whose home I’m going to walk into. I live in an amazing city.” Madison says. He makes it a point never to take his career for granted. Last year brought on much change and growth for Madison after he found himself unable to keep up with the growing demands of an ever-expanding business. This led Madison to bring on a real estate partner and team. The process of building his team was strategically planned and executed. A website redesign, photo shoot, and considerable amount of money were invested into this new endeavor. The product was a team of 10 well-qualified individuals who had the desire to put just as much time and effort into the business as he does. In many ways, choosing his future team members was an easy decision. The majority of Madison’s new co-workers have been friends of his for more than a decade. “It’s like a family,” Madison says of his successful Malibu Life team (which is co-branded with Coldwell Banker). The team brought in $10 million in earnings in January alone, putting them on track for $100 million for the year. Madison refers to the team’s collaborative efforts as “a very well-greased engine that is really working well.” Madison’s team could not have been finalized and put into action at a better time, as 2014 will have him traveling more than ever. Kicking off (and producing!) a series of 10 seminars in 10 cities, the first will take place on February 24th in Houston, Texas. Having always had a passion for public speaking and interacting with others, Madison looks forward to utilizing these seminars as a way to lead others and be a blueprint for someone’s career. The idea of being able to share some of the tools necessary to be successful in the business with someone just starting out excites and drives Madison. Also on the docket for this year is Madison’s new role as Brand Ambassador for digital transaction giant DocuSign. As a product that has made a huge difference in his life as a Realtor, Madison was excited www.ClienteleLuxury.com | 13

to align himself with a company that continues to simplify his daily responsibilities. “I love DocuSign because it makes my life, and my clients’ lives, so much easier” says Madison of his collaboration with the innovative company. With Madison’s growing exposure, he has seen a notable increase in international buyers. Showing homes to people from all cultural backgrounds is something Madison is enjoying being much more involved in as of late and he is relishing this new buyer’s market. He also enjoys traveling abroad. Recently, Madison and some of his clients spent time in Careyes, Mexico for a health retreat organized around a villa that he is selling in the area. The accommodations consisted of seven villas with an on-site trainer. While the focus was on healthful self-restoration, the trip was a mix of business networking and enjoying a great vacation. Upon his return, Madison found himself inspired to seek out opportunities to represent a greater amount of properties internationally, as traveling and experiencing different cultures has long been a passion of his.

As for Madison’s secrets to success, he remains pretty humble. While admitting he’s told in the past that he was too young and without any real experience, he “envisioned exactly where i wanted to be with my success.” He decided years ago that he would not let anyone stop him and encourages others to, “stay true to what your intuition is telling you to follow.” Behind-the-scenes, Madison enjoys spending time outdoors with his new rescue Doberman, Maya. Exercising and taking time for himself for simple activities has been his method to finding balance in his busy life. It has been finding this balance that has been key to his continued success. His family and friends, along with taking time for himself, have left him empowered and more relaxed than before. “I’ve been learning balance and I feel like I’ve achieved that level of calmness even with all the action that’s happening.” Whether jetsetting to show homes in exotic locales or entertaining America on the small screen, Madison Hildebrand surely has us watching his every move. ■

E
vents by André Wells has been behind some of the most prominent and large occasions locally in the United States as well as internationally. As a result, founder and CEO André Wells has become one of the most sought-after and talented event planners in the country. The company, based out of Washington, D.C., is a full-service, avant-garde firm catering to high-end, high-profile clients. Over the years, Wells’ company has been responsible for more than 4,000 events in the U.S. and overseas, including soirees for many celebrities, politicians, and socialites. Among the most notable Wells has coordinated include the Presidential Inaugural Ball, red-carpet premieres, celebrity tributes, galas, congressional and Senate events, societal weddings, and political fundraisers. Although Wells’ client list continues to expand, his company has worked with Walt Disney, BET, PBS, ABC, DELL, NBC, Vanessa Redgrave, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Robert Johnson, Charles Rangel, Debra Lee, President Barack Obama, Gina Adams, the Staffords, Art Collins, and many prominent corporations. While Wells has been associated with several stars, companies, and political figures, his company puts together events of all sizes. The largest? When Clientele Luxury spoke with him, he explained this could have been the introduction of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in Washington, D.C. or the Presidential Inaugural Ball—for both, more than 500 guests attended. Yet even with years of experience and an extensive list of impressive clients, Wells explained that conceptualizing “dreams, ideas, and brands” bringing them to life, along with extreme detail and a unique approach to the material, sets his company

apart. “The best part of my job [is] bringing your dreams, brands, and concepts to life through signature event experiences,” he told Clientele Luxury. He followed with, “A true love and passion for our art is what makes us special.” While Wells and his team orchestrate several types of events, the most memorable have been weddings because they remain such an important moment in someone’s life. “To see the look of awe, happiness, and satisfaction on a bride’s face is absolutely priceless,” he says.
As elaborate, unique, and successful as Wells’ events are, his company continues to look toward the future with upcoming trends and innovations. While the client’s expectations come first, his team has been incorporating farm-to-table foods, color sweeps, and social media to both promote events and keep guests engaged. www.

magine the most beautiful event you can envision coming to life before your eyes. David Beahm is waiting to create it for you. As one of the nation’s top event designers, David and his team of experts create wedding, social, and corporate events that will meet and exceed your expectations. High-profile clients such as Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are among his celebrity fan club, along with a number of major corporations who put their trust in David Beahm to design an event their guests will remember for a lifetime. While David refers to himself as “just a little passionate about the details,” this is exactly what inspired him to get into the business. Fast-forward a few years and it’s evident that David found a career that has clearly been a successful and fulfilling endeavor. What sets David Beahm apart from his competitors is the ability to take a step back and look at the big picture from the guest experience. Beyond the pretty flowers and decor, David’s goal is to put himself into the client’s shoes and bring their vision to life. David is not alone in taking on this huge task. A seasoned, full-time staff and numerous freelance artists and craftsmen work diligently alongside David to create the event of your dreams. A close friend once gave him the sound advice to “surround yourself with good people.” He has done just that and attributes it to much of his success. Delivering excellent customer service to clients and guests is another source of great pride within David Beahm Design and has led to the company’s continued success. One of the most notable recent events David Beahm created was the Peninsula Hotel’s 25th anniversary celebration in New York City. While to some event planners the sectioned layout may have proven to be a difficult aspect to plan around, David did the only thing an expert can do—he used it to his advantage. Rather
EVENT DESIGNERS 2014
than trying to have all of the Peninsula’s guests fit into one room, he created an event that gave guests the chance to celebrate and explore the venerable hotel all at once. A map was handed out to guests upon arrival, which led them to hotel’s event spaces, each offering something a bit different. Whether you enjoy jazz, the American Songbook or a disco dance floor, guests were feted with hors d’oeuvres and champagne on their journey to discover their ideal evening. Along with this impressive distinction, David was one of the primary designers for the White House’s holiday events—both for the 2013 season and the preceding year. “Anything you can dream, anywhere in the world” is the motto at David Beahm and this is precisely the service he offers. Destination events are the perfect way to make your wildest dreams a reality. No matter where you envision the event happening, David wants to be there to create it for you. While the details may be the greatest challenge in this business, David’s team sees it not as a difficulty, but rather as an opportunity to thrive. Upon the guest’s departure, David is simply content if the guest thinks to himself, “I had a fabulous time.” www.DavidBeahm.com. ■ Photo Credit: Hechler Photography

Austin PRICE: $12,500,000 LOCATION: Austin, Texas Hoffman International Properties Mariyln Hoffman
34 | www.ClienteleLuxury.com
rare opportunity to live in a work of art, this Grand Italian Palazzo on Lake Travis was fashioned after Andrea Palladio’s famous “Villa Rotunda” in Vicenza, Italy. Some of his most influential villas survive in the Veneto region around Venice, Italy. Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) remains the most influential architect in the history of architecture. This romantic palazzo has 9,760 sq. ft. of museum quality construction and showcases classic Italian architecture with rich mahogany, imported Italian tile and Carrara marble throughout. Designed and built by one of the country’s foremost entrepreneurs for this own personal estate, with all the elegance and grandeur of a bygone era yet all the modern conveniences for grand scale entertaining and comfortable family living. Showcasing classic Italian architecture and a staggering 270-degree Lake Travis panorama and resting on a private, 16-acre waterfront, hill-top peninsula overlooking Lake Travis, the first view of this palatial estate is captured from an awe-inspiring stone-and-grass drive lined with ivy-covered walls. Looking down from the hillcrest drive, the villa’s bold silhouette stands out magnificently against the calm, blue waters of the lake. Built in 2004 with 8 bedrooms, 9 baths, and 8 living areas by prominent Austin architect, David Shiflet, staying true to Palladio’s
TOP PROPERTIES original “Villa Rotunda” concept, which was laid out in a symmetrical axis with archways leading to complimentary wings and loggias. At the very heart of the home is a magnificent grand rotunda with a massive domed ceiling that draws the eye up, upward and around. Exquisite Venetian moldings adorn rounded walls. Gorgeous, handcast stone fireplaces complement rooms rich with mahogany, and French doors are crowned by arched Palladian windows. A pair of curvaceous stairways, lined with hand-forged, wrought-iron balusters, wind their way up to meet at a second floor landing where the master suite is located. Generous windows and stone-railed balconies offer some of the best views that can be had of the dramatic sunsets over Lake Travis. An enormous Roman Empire tub and a grandious “rain room” shower in the master bath are centered between his and her bathrooms, each with their own walk-in closet and Carrara marble vanities and floors. The Italian farmhouse kitchen features a center island, an openbeamed ceiling, reclaimed Italian tile, country-styled hand-made mahogany cabinets with Carrera marble tops and Wolf/Sub-Zero appliances. The patterned-tile backsplash is another perfect replica borrowed from old world Italian villas. The kitchen and formal dining room, with its Murano glass fixtures, are connected by a lightdrenched hallway lined by a trio of French doors that provide access to a huge outdoor loggia, backyard, pool and stunning Lake Travis views. A breath-taking landscape of manicured hedges, towering cypress, plentiful lemon trees, and sprawling lawns surrounds the estate. An immense swimming pool sits in the panoramic foreground of Lake Travis, while the more-private hot tub is sheltered close to the villa. The action is down at the lakeside where a colossal boat dock/party deck, large enough to hold a fleet of water toys and a full-sized yacht, rests on a just a small portion of the 1200 linear feet of waterfront. The lake offers great fishing; sailing and water skiing, and all the popular Lake Travis restaurants and attractions are just a quick, dock-to-dock boat ride away.
Evident everywhere, both inside and out, is an artist’s attention to conceptual detail. Modern plumbing fixtures are “designer antiquated” and the over-head lighting fixtures throughout the home are controlled by modern replicas of classic, turn-of-the-century, pushbutton light switches. Other highlights include a game room, a 320 bottle-capacity wine/bar room, a handsome 3-story high mahogany library, an office, a home theater and two detached 2-car garages: one with an over-head apartment and the other with an above dance studio/exercise room with sauna. This is a truly unique opportunity to own a spectacular waterfront home on one of Austin’s premier lakes and still be within minutes of Lake Travis schools and everything that is Austin. Coming home to this amazing Italian villa is like visiting Italy every day. Contact Marilyn Hoffman for more information 214- 674-3961. ■

cabinetry, features an island of prodigious dimensions capped with a single quartz slab. The upscale appliances are equally impressive. The cozy, adjacent eating nook features uninterrupted connection with the outdoors, while the nearby dining room features space for the largest table that will enjoy a unique mid-century designed, Verner Panton mother of pearl chandelier above. The living room is integrated into the great room through shared common space, artfully defined by cabinetry. A large fireplace faced in travertine ledge stone and burnished plate steel, fitted with a full-length concrete hearth, is elegant in its simplicity. The exposed Douglas Fir beams in the ceiling above provide an architectural commonality linking the three spaces in the great room. Adjacent to this main living space is a south-facing, sundrenched series of patios, completely private and ideal for outdoor dining, or lounging in seclusion. Directly off the kitchen and great room, the family room is a great space to unwind, with 12’ ceilings and gorgeous corner-tocorner, ceiling-height windows on three walls.

Strikingly elegant, the stairs match perfectly the Listone Giordano clear, long plank, white oak floors sourced from France and milled in Italy that are found throughout the home.
The attention to detail and craftsmanship are breathtaking in their precision, and artistry. The upper floor was conceived as a ‘tree-fort,’ enjoying commanding views of the adjacent gentle ravine and parkland and was designed with comfort, elegance and practicality as governing design principles. While enjoying the master suite, or the third bedroom with adjacent bathroom, you will feel as if you are sleeping in your private forest grove while woodland sounds lull you into a peaceful sleep.

rained at Yale University and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Daniel Del Vecchio remains prominent in academia and is also nationally recognized for his expertise in cosmetic surgery. With book chapters, international and national exposure, Dr. Del Vecchio holds one of the largest experiences in the world in the field of large volume fat grafting to the breast and buttock. The technique of fat grafting to the breast is a relatively new procedure, one that yields natural, long-term results of breast augmentation and buttock augmentation through a very minimally invasive route. The procedure is highly appealing to patients who wish to have a significant increase in breast or buttock size, without the use of an artificial implant. Dr. Del Vecchio has established himself in Boston as one of the most influential Cosmetic Surgeons. With his extensive work before building his own practice, he has put in the time and effort to learn what makes a great surgeon. Dr. Del Vecchio has also been involved in the training of surgical residents at Tufts New England Medical Center, where he was an Assistant Professor of Surgery, and at Harvard’s Massachusetts General Hospital where he is currently a member of the Consulting Staff in the Division of Plastic Surgery. Not only is Dr. Del Vecchio a Key Note speaker at many Plastic Surgery Events around the globe, but he also performs live surgery in front of his audiences. ■ Dr. Daniel Del Vecchio Back Bay Plastic Surgery 38 Newbury St. Boston, MA (617) 262-8528 www.mdbeautycare.com

single medical procedure won’t reduce the effects of aging; rather, a lifestyle overhaul is required. That’s part of the mission behind the Anti-Aging Center at PRO Sports Club, where Dr. Joseph W. Upton is Medical Director. Prior to becoming part of one of the premier health clubs in the U.S., Dr. Upton earned an undergraduate degree at Pacific Lutheran University and went on to complete his medical studies at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where he graduated in 1992. After finishing a residency in Family Practice through a University of Washington-affiliated program at Valley Medical Center, he spent nine years in a private practice at Bellevue and Edmonds. Dr. Upton continues to be Board Certified in Family Medicine and in Anti-Aging Medicine through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. Through the Anti-Aging Center at PRO Sports Club, which is part of a 272,000-square-foot facility focused on health and well-being for all members, Dr. Upton provides assistance with maintaining a healthy lifestyle, exercise programs, nutrition counseling, personalized supplementation, stress management, and hormone optimization or balancing bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). “I have found BHRT have been extremely effective for both men and women,” he told Clientele Luxury in an interview. “Their hormone levels are balanced/optimized and they feel and function better…and their overall health is improved.” Personal changes toward reversing or lessening signs of aging don’t always have to start with an appointment, and steps can begin even before a patient comes to the facility named “Eastside’s Best Family Health Club.” What are some of his own tips? Dr. Upton listed them for us: “Regular exercise, healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight or body composition, stress management, quality sleep, minimizing exposure to toxicity (smoke, pollution, pesticides, etc.).” During Dr. Upton’s time at the Anti-Aging Center at PRO Sports Club, research efforts with renowned cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Mark Dedomenico concerning healthy aging have resulted in programs and services for total body health and rejuvenation. However, when it comes to services, he doesn’t plan to stop there. Current research and work with stem cells may eventually be added to anti-aging treatments. “This may be something we consider adding to our program in the future,” he added. ■ Dr. Joseph Upton Anti-Aging Center at PRO Sports Club 4455 148th Avenue Northeast Bellevue, WA 98007 425.861.6290 www.Proclub.com

Dr. Daniel Levy Medical Spa at PRO Sports Club D
r. Daniel Levy practices cosmetic dermatology at the Medical Spa at PRO Sports Club and earned the Allergan Partner Program’s Black Diamond Status in 2011. For those who aren’t familiar, Allergan is the maker of popular treatments Botox® and Juvederm, and this distinction places the Medical Spa at PRO Sports Club in the top one percent of the company’s U.S. partners. Before becoming a part of PRO Sports Club, Dr. Levy attended the University of Washington and then went onto New York to complete his graduate education and residency in dermatology at New York Medical College, where he trained directly with the field’s founders. During a fellowship at Duke University Medical Center, he focused on hair growth disorders and skin cancer prevention. Along with this experience, he has one year of general and trauma surgery from the University of Southern California at Santa Barbara, a wound-healing fellowship at the University of Miami, and professional memberships with the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Society of Dermatology Surgery, and the American Society of Cosmetic Dermatology and Aesthetic Surgery. When Clientele Luxury spoke with Dr. Levy about why he choose to specialize in dermatology, he mentioned that the practice covers the full spectrum of medical skills—from psychology and anesthesiology to surgery and pathology—in diagnostic and treatment challenges. As well, minimally-invasive and cosmetic treatments attracted him to the field, with new technologies emerging while he completed medical school and his residency. “While many medical specialties can improve physical and mental well-being, the cosmetic dimension of dermatology can also influence social well-being,” he explains. Compared to the typical spa, Medical Spa at PRO Sports Club offers a wide range of cosmetic treatments. With Dr. Levy’s method, facial contouring with injectables involves a cannula instead of a standard needle, while body contouring with SmartSculpt and Velashape integrates laser body contouring with shiatsu massage and personal training. Multiple types of laser skin rejuvenation and medical-grade skincare and peels join the spa’s dermatologic wellness treatments, such as cosmetic mole removal, acne therapies, and vein, wart, and barnacle treatments. “When one is able to erase signs of skin aging or improve contours in a discrete, natural manner, this boosts self-esteem and social wellbeing,” he says. “I see this every day in the teenager who previously suffered from chronic acne and now has clear skin after good skincare and acne treatments, in the woman who had resistant areas of fat on her thighs and can now wear normal gym clothes and feels more confident while exercising after completing the SmartSculpt program, and in the man who suffered from hyperhidrosis, a condition of excess sweating we can treat with MiraDry, and can now shake his colleagues’ hands confidently without worry that his damp hands or dress shirt will convey his anxiety.” ■

The first floor features a large master suite with an adjoining office and easy beach access. Sneak out early in the morning or late at night for a dip off one of the best swimming beaches on the island! This is a charming combination of old and new, in a setting that will take your breath away. The abutting property is also on the market, and this is a unique opportunity to own two properties that could not be replicated today. $6,500,000.
