LA JOLLA \u2013 Promoting itself as a \u201crebellious approach\u201d to beauty and self-care, Alcheme wellness center held a recent grand opening for its new La Jolla location.<\/p>\n

Guests at the new holistic-oriented facility at 909 Prospect St., Suite 100C, were treated to an evening of interactive self-care, live demonstrations, food and beverages, a bubble machine and a DJ at the Sept. 5 grand opening. <\/p>\n

The new center focuses on optimizing health while addressing the root cause of diseases. In its new space in the former Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center, Alcheme, which started in Del Mar, offers a full spectrum of science-backed services combining the best of conventional and natural medicines.<\/p>\n

The La Jolla location also offers a range of medical spa services for all ages. Those include IPL skin resurfacing, neurotoxins and fillers, skin tightening, acne and cellulite reduction and laser hair removal. The company employs cutting-edge technical advances in anti-aging, skincare, and beauty.<\/p>\n

Alcheme\u2019s CEO, Tracy Younger, founded the company based on a unique approach to healthcare. Her objective was to provide a curated space for whole-being medical services. Her wellness spa fuses functional and aesthetic medicine to restore internal and external health. Younger works with Dr. Roger Schechter, Alcheme\u2019s medical director.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re alternative naturopathic (natural remedies) and aesthetic and regenerative medicine for inner and outer health,\u201d said Younger. \u201cWe do stem cells and exosomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe term is functional medicine,\u201d said Schechter, describing that as \u201ccombining a lot of disciplines\u201d to provide an alternative to traditional medical care. Two such alternatives offered by Alcheme include nutrition and vitamins, he added.<\/p>\n

Schechter explained that exosomes are tiny bubbles created by cells that contain regenerative cell-signaling molecules. \u201cThey\u2019re becoming very popular because they\u2019re the way that stem cells communicate with the target cells,\u201d he said. \u201cThose little bubbles are harvested and can be utilized for various applications directed towards regeneration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Younger opened a wellness center as a hospital executive and became \u201cvery interested in the aesthetic,\u201d or beauty side of things, after trying naturopathic medicine, which helped her \u201cfeel better.\u201d That sold her on the concept and the modality. She got a cool reception when she brought the idea back to a hospital and was told she should just open her own clinic.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I did,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

Of the services offered at both clinics in Del Mar and La Jolla, Schechter noted some clients want \u201cexternal aesthetic improvements\u201d while others want \u201cinternal improvement. The bulk of people are crossing over and doing both internal and external improvement. If you feel better on the inside, you look better on the outside, and vice versa.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a lot of fun, it\u2019s a happy business to be in on the preventative healthy side (of medicine),\u201d Younger said.<\/p>\n

Alcheme in La Jolla is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s mostly by appointment, but you can walk in to get an IV or a vitamin shot,\u201d said Younger. She added their clientele is currently about a 60-40 split between women and men, though the number of men being served continues to grow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe build a custom plan based on their needs,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
