Dr. Edward Lee and Nuveau
His latest treatment to unveil at Nuveau is UltraClear. It is the latest in anti-aging treatment taking the aesthetic industry by storm. UltraClear is the world’s first cold ablative fiber laser utilizing proprietary 3DIntelliPulse technology to optimize ablative and coagulative energy while minimizing collateral thermal impact.
This breakthrough technology enables providers to address a wide variety of aesthetic and dermatologic conditions. It is the all-in-one solution for lunchtime “prejuvenation” with 3DMIRACL, to skin quality improvement and deep collagen remodeling, and to the latest anti-aging advancement, Laser-Coring.
UltraClear Laser-Coring delivers quick laser pulses to remove micro-channels of skin. Featuring novel precise energy control, many patients experience shorter healing time and noticeable improvement after a single treatment. Laser-Coring is easily incorporated with UltraClear Resurfacing Treatments to address multiple signs of aging and enhance your rejuvenation outcomes. Moreover, Dr. Lee believes in multi-modal therapy to deliver the best possible results so that each and every patient can look and feel her best. As such, he routinely combines surgical and nonsurgical treatments, such as a combination of facelift, eyelid surgery and UltraClear laser treatment, which can be performed together to minimize recovery and downtime.

“Benefitting Camp H-Town, this much-anticipated evening is one of the city’s premier philanthropy events,” noted a rep for the hotel. The event raised a record $360,000.
More than a dozen chefs turned out for Celebrity Chefs Against Cancer, offering tasting-size delights, washed down with inventive cocktails and special wines from Maisons Marques & Domaines. Participating chefs included Bludorn’s Marie Ridle, Field & Tides’ Travis Lenig, Hando’s Man Nguyen, Nobie’s Martin Stayer, Roma’s Shannon Scott, Uchi’s Stephen Conklin, Uchiko’s Shaun King, Xochi’s Hugo Ortega and two chefs from the hotel — Jonathan Esparza of Toro Toro and Four Seasons Exec Pastry Cheff Krystin McCarley.
“Celebrity Chefs Against Cancer brings our incredible Houston community and the city’s top chefs together,” said Tom Segesta, general manager of the hotel. “In addition to being a fun and indulgent evening of amazing food, drink, connection, we raise a lot of money to provide these amazing and brave children with a summer camp experience created just for them.”
TV’s Miya Shay served as emcee for the event, and Johnny Bravo was the auctioneer, selling off such gems as a puppy, an original painting by Taft McWhorter, a five-night stay in an overwater bungalow suite at Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, and a white gold, sapphire, and diamond pendant by Peter Martino.
Conducted in collaboration with the University of Texas MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital, the oncology camp provides kids who have been touched by cancer with a fun and safe sleep-away camp environment at no financial cost to the campers’ families.
Obsidian will blend boho-luxe aesthetics, lush greenery and warm textures to offer an immersive retreat experience to yogis. From infrared-heated vinyasa flows to restorative, prenatal and family yoga, the studio is designed to meet students at every stage of their journey.
Owners Alfonso Moguel and Carolina Simon, inspired by international wellness destinations, envisioned Obsidian Flow as a community-rooted sanctuary. “We wanted to create a space that feels like a retreat, one that organically grows within Houston but also evokes that grounding, soulful energy of Tulum,” they shared. The studio is committed to community giving and has already partnered with Southern Kindness Gallery and the American Cancer Society.
Obsidian also offers access to the Ember Suite, a luxury, bookable spa-shower experience, as well as onsite Cold Plunge sessions— ideal for recovery and rejuvenation. And, the Obsidian Shake Bar will feature organic smoothies.
