- Oh, my god, it's working.
It's doing it.
Oh, my god, this is so weird.
(upbeat music)
Hey, guys, it's Shila and I'm here at Upgrade Labs
at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles,
and I'm gonna get the Red Carpet Radiance treatment.
I'm super excited, 'cause who doesn't
wanna look like the stars?
I have the lovely Amanda, who is the VP of Upgrade Labs,
and she's gonna kinda give us the rundown
of what to expect today.
- At Upgrade Labs, we use leading edge technology
to help your brain and body perform better in less time.
- [Shila] It's like a spa of the future,
which I think-- - That's exactly right.
We actually have quite a lot
of celebrity clientele that comes through.
A lot of people want a quick way, less than an hour,
to get ready for that red carpet experience.
- What exactly will we be doing today?
- [Amanda] An infrared sauna, The Big Squeeze,
a cryofacial, and our Red Charger.
- These all sound really intense.
- It's actually amazing, relaxing,
and you get all four of those treatments
in 55 minutes for $175.
- So, let's do it.
- Let's go get glam.
This way. - Let's go.
(upbeat bass music)
- So, the first treatment that we're gonna
be doing today is the infrared sauna.
This combines powerful heat with a deep detoxification.
- The sauna's here.
It has all these cool colors.
I'm about to go in there for 20 minutes
and apparently it's 150 degrees in there
so it's gonna be kinda toasty,
but hopefully I am feeling great afterwards.
So, et's go inside.
- [Amanda] We're gonna open up her pores
with that beautiful heat, we're gonna allow the body
to wring out all of the toxins inside,
and then prepare her for the next thing.
- It's not incredibly hot,
so it's just like the right amount of temperature.
I'm loving the club lights, loving the music.
It really feels like an experience,
instead of just sitting in a sauna.
(bell dings)
(sighs in relief)
I feel like a newborn baby after this.
- So, the second technology is gonna be The Big Squeeze.
This is a pair of pants that comes all the way
up to your chest, it fills with air,
and it almost feels like a 24-hand massage.
- So, I'm here at the next station,
and I'm about to put on these Big Squeeze pants,
and I'm gonna get a massage and a cryotherapy facial.
Oh, my god, it's working.
It's doing it.
Oh, my god, this is so weird.
- What it's doing is wringing the body out
and actually getting rid of excess water weight.
- So, it's kind of wavelike.
It's new to me so my body's trying to adjust,
but it's really, like, calming.
- [Amanda] While receiving The Big Squeeze,
we also are giving her a cryofacial.
This is really rapid cooling.
It's quite chilling on her face.
- It's not freezing but it's like
a nice little mist of fresh air.
- What it's doing is it's stimulating collagen production,
it's helping tighten and brighten her skin,
so she'll have the appearance of less wrinkles.
- So, now I'm gonna have this red light,
and it's supposed to help with blood flow,
and help with boosting collagen,
all the good stuff for the face.
(sighs in relief)
So, I'm all done.
My legs feel very massaged and relaxed.
On to the last stage of this treatment.
(upbeat techno music)
- This is the Red Charger.
This is powerful red light therapy.
- I'm just gonna lie here for 15 minutes,
and I know it looks kinda crazy right now with the lights,
but apparently it's good for you, so gonna give it a shot.
- [Amanda] This helps her entire system produce collagen.
Collagen is really powerful for hair, skin, and nails,
and you want those to look perfect
when you're on the red carpet.
(bell dings)
- So, I am done with all the stations.
All of this is kind of intimidating
when you first see it, but it all really made me
feel better physically, but also mentally.
I think just going in with an open mind to this
was just the best attitude to have.
I feel like this is a new wave of wellness
and I'm really excited that I got to try it today.
