We really do hear it all. 😂 One minute we’re talking about natural-looking results. The next, we’re discussing hormones, sunscreen, confidence, husbands, and why you waited so long to prioritize yourself. Your appointment is a space to ask questions, share your thoughts, laugh, relax, or simply take a moment for yourself. We’re here for all of it. Treatments may bring you through the door, but the trust and relationships we build are what make Arawan feel different. 🧡 📞 847-383-6217 🌐 www.arawan.co 📍 Buffalo Grove, IL #arawanmedspa #medicalaesthetics #aestheticwellness #hormonehealth #buffalogrove taken in Buffalo Grove, Illinois by @dr.dlc.md

A little bruise doesn’t always mean something went wrong. 💉 At Arawan, patient education matters. Mild bruising after injectables can be expected and often improves within about 1–2 weeks, though everyone heals differently. Swipe to learn why bruising can happen and what to expect after treatment. Questions? Our team is here to help. 📞 847-383-6217 🌐 www.arawan.co 📍 Buffalo Grove, IL #arawanmedspa #buffalogroveil #injectables #aestheticmedicine #medspa taken in Buffalo Grove by @dr.dlc.md

ESTRADIOL IS NOT JUST FOR HOT FLASHES. It supports your brain, bones, heart, sleep, vaginal tissue, and urinary health. When estradiol declines, you may experience brain fog, poor sleep, mood changes, painful sex, urinary symptoms, joint discomfort, and accelerated bone loss. For appropriately selected women, estradiol can: 🦴 Prevent bone loss and reduce fractures 💧 Restore vaginal and urinary tissue 🚽 Help reduce recurrent UTIs 🧠 Potentially support long-term brain health Research is promising, but estradiol is not yet proven to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Stop accepting “it’s just aging.” Your symptoms deserve a complete evaluation and an individualized plan.

16 photos. One version of me who knew she didn’t feel healthy. I was overweight and dealing with chest discomfort from acid reflux, back pain, aching knees, headaches, and difficulty breathing. I felt heavy, exhausted, and older than I was. I wanted a miracle and I wanted the weight gone FAST. But fast doesn’t always mean healthy. My medical weight-loss journey was done strategically. We did not increase my medication simply because another week had passed. My dose was increased only when I plateaued and there was a clinical need. We also looked beyond the number on the scale. My depleted sex hormones were replaced and optimized, and my thyroid treatment was optimized based on my individual needs. This wasn’t about becoming skinny at any cost. It was about becoming healthier, feeling stronger, protecting my future, and creating a life I want to live for a very long time. If you’re going through what I went through, you don’t have to keep guessing or looking for another quick fix. Let us help you approach weight loss medically, strategically, and as a whole person. Call or text us at 847-383-6217 to get started. ***Chest pain or difficulty breathing can be serious. If you are experiencing these symptoms now, seek prompt medical care rather than waiting for a weight-loss consultation.*** #arawanmedspa #drdlcmd #nursesunshinern #medicalweightloss #hormonereplacementtherapy taken in Terminal 3- International Departure - Chicago O'Hare International Airport by @dr.dlc.md

This was me on July 18, 2024. I weighed 165 pounds and looked pregnant, but I wasn’t. I felt heavy, unhealthy, uncomfortable, and honestly, unattractive. I didn’t recognize the woman looking back at me. Stress made me eat, and sweets felt impossible to resist. I would promise myself I was going to do better, then find myself reaching for sugar again. I felt like I had no control. But this was bigger than willpower. My hormones were not optimized, my thyroid needed attention, and my body needed medical support, not more self-shame. I addressed the full picture with medical weight loss, hormone optimization, thyroid management, better nutrition, and consistent movement. The weight changed, but so did my energy, cravings, confidence, and the way I felt in my own body. If you’re struggling and blaming yourself, it may be time to look deeper. Let us help you understand what your body is trying to tell you. If this feels like your story, call or text us at 847-383-6217. Let’s look beyond the weight and treat the whole picture. -DR DLC & NURSE SUNSHINE #arawanmedspa #nursesunshine #drdlcmd #menopausecare #perimenopausesupport by @dr.dlc.md

The best aesthetic results aren’t rushed. They’re built. Consistency matters when it comes to caring for your skin and maintaining your goals. As Dr. DLC shares, having a thoughtful plan and staying committed to your care can make all the difference. Your skin is a journey, not a one-time appointment. 🤍 📞 Call us today at 847-383-6217 🌐 www.arawan.co 📍 Buffalo Grove, IL #skinhealth #aestheticcare #naturalenhancement #medspajourney #arawanmedspa taken in Buffalo Grove, Illinois by @dr.dlc.md

Men, if your wife suddenly isn’t sleeping, feels exhausted, forgets why she walked into a room, has no interest in intimacy, or doesn’t feel comfortable in her own body, she doesn’t need to be told to “just relax.” She needs you to believe her!!! Perimenopause and menopause can affect sleep, mood, energy, weight, focus, and intimacy. These changes are real, and they can impact both partners—>not just the woman experiencing them. My job as her husband is to listen, support her, and encourage her to get the care she deserves. My other job is to avoid saying anything that earns me a permanent reservation on the couch. 😂 Although this has never happened, I don’t want this couch thing to start. At Arawan, we take the time to hear your concerns, evaluate your symptoms and labs, and discuss a personalized treatment plan. You’re not imagining it. You’re not being dramatic. And you don’t have to figure it out alone. Call or message us to schedule your menopause consultation. #MenopauseCare #PerimenopauseSupport #drdlcmd #nursesunshine #arawanmedspa taken in ORD - Chicago O'hare International Airport by @dr.dlc.md
