Radiant Skincare in Highland Park

Nestled in the heart of Highland Park is The Park Med Spa, an exemplary facility dedicated to healing and restoring skin. The spa opened two years ago and serves clients, not only in Middlesex County, but from all over New Jersey and New York. Foundational in the success of the spa is Marina Shepelevsky Miller, who brings over 30 years of experience as an esthetician. Ms. Miller’s outstanding reputation in dealing with problem skin and cutting-edge rejuvenation techniques is well deserved. Her passion is exhibited most enthusiastically when she treats someone who is plagued with severe acne and then transformed into a beautiful smooth face. A facial done by Ms. Miller is a unique, relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The spa offers a variety of facial services as well as advanced esthetics treatments done by medical professionals. 

“Summer is coming and the sun can cause the skin to prematurely age, which can lead to brown spots and repetitive damage can lead to skin cancer. We offer a variety  of natural sunscreens that can prevent sun damage to your skin,” shares Ms. Miller. 

Consultations for anti-aging facials, skin care and face products are available. It also offers laser and other treatments that can improve the texture of the skin superficially and more deeply by building more collagen. Mention Natural Awakenings for a 15% discount on first time visits.

In-Print News Briefs July 2021
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
