Los Angeles, CA (The Hollywood Times) 1/1/21 – In early 2020, Elaine Concepcion-Alberto opened the doors of Gravitas Medspa in Beverly Hills. It is then that her journey and love for medical esthetics flourished and discovered her passion for helping her clients achieve beautiful and healthy skin all while gaining self-confidence.
From its inception, Elaine has been the driving force for the overall operation of the Gravitas Medspa, including sales and marketing efforts.
She has a great deal of knowledge in specializing treatments and products to each individual’s needs. Elaine offers her clients a unique combination of experience, knowledge, and personalized attention to help them look and feel good both inside and out.
Her areas of expertise include facial rejuvenation with her customized skincare treatments that are non-invasive and have no downtime. She also has extensive experience and advanced training in non-surgical cosmetic procedures such as microneedling, skin peeling, cryofacial and other procedures such as Botox, natural warts removal, IV infusions and so much more!
Your experience as a nurse has led you to pursue your passion for beauty and wellness. Share your background. (How did this lead you to open your own spa?
I am an experienced Registered Nurse and my passion for beauty and wellness is what inspired me to start Gravitas Medspa in Beverly Hills. After working in healthcare for 30 years, I learned that providing a unique and premier quality experience to each individual is not only based on your ability to provide effective and good quality skills but also your ability to empathize and hear out their needs fully to truly provide a cohesive experience that helps clients not only look but also feel good at the same time.
Fast forward to today, little did I know this would lead me towards the journey of becoming an aesthetic nurse. When I realized that there was a niche in aesthetics where I could integrate my two passions, I decided to go back to school while working full-time until I completed the hours to take the board exam. When I received my esthetician license, I knew that it was just the beginning of a challenging yet fulfilling journey – helping people look their best and improve their confidence is a joy I feel whenever I see my clients very happy with the result of my customized treatments.

At Gravitas Medspa, we live and breathe beauty and wellness. We know that both women and men have skincare goals that are unique, and there’s no magic solution that works for everyone. That’s why we’re passionate about providing our clients with a variety of skin care treatments and products that are specifically designed with their needs in mind. This is what led me to develop unique skin care treatments based on my research and studies that are result-driven taking into consideration each person’s individualized skin care needs. With the promise of providing the best for our clients, I continuously attend classes, seminars, and engage myself in learning opportunities to be able to choose which products and services are great for our clients.
Please tell us about some of the most advanced services that Gravitas Medspa offers.
I am so proud of all the skin care treatments that I personally create for Gravitas Medspa. One of my favorites is the “Beauty Combo” where 3 treatments are combined delivering instant amazing results. These include the following:
○ Ultimate Skin Veneer Treatment
■ This treatment detoxifies the skin, removing all impurities, giving the skin
instant hydration, tightening, and brightening effect leaving the skin so soft
and giving you a youthful-looking skin. This treatment includes the application of
detox gel causing increased oxygen concentration to your face promoting cell
metabolism within an hour. A must-try so you can feel and see the benefits of
this excellent treatment.
○ Stemcell Microneedling
■ Stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen is a protein present in the
body that imparts strength to your skin, maintaining its elasticity. Due to
aging, collagen production reduces, and your skin suffers from conditions like
wrinkles and fine lines, sagging, under-eye bags. It has the following benefits:
● Visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles
● Reduces pigmentation
● Removes Acne scars
● Reduces pore size
● Tightens sagging skin
○ Magic Foundation Microneedling
■ This treatment provides your skin with a semi-permanent foundation helping
decrease pigmentation, even out skin tone, and diminish fine lines. It is
highly recommended for a minimum of 3 series of treatments (every 3-4 weeks) to see the maximum result.
What do you enjoy the most about working with clients?
I enjoy hearing my clients tell me about their experience and how they’ve never felt so good and confident about themselves after the care and treatments they received from us. The best part is seeing clients after the fact – whether in person, getting ready for photoshoots, or on social media – beaming and glowing with a newfound confidence that I knew they always had within themselves finally shine through. I also love learning more and cultivating meaningful relationships with a lot of the people I get to work with, so helping them attain their dream glowy and flawless skin almost feels just like a plus at times.
How can we get holiday ready?
During this holiday season of reunions, festivities, and parties, in order to prepare you for this, I highly encouraged you to try my “Signature facial with Epidermal Sweep followed by a Skinpeeling.” This is an excellent way of removing the old/dead skin to give way to your new and glowing skin. It will help lighten the pigmentations, tighten the skin, reduce pore size, and improve the overall quality and texture of the skin. You will be amazed once you try this, and you will love your new skin and be holiday-ready
