Meet Dr. Shalini Gupta, creator of The Moksha Way.
Dr. Gupta doesn’t sit still. When she is passionate about something, she gives it her all. For the past 20 years, she has nurtured The Dermatology, Laser and Vein Center to become the largest cosmetic dermatology practice in the area. As a leader in its field, DLVC has stayed at the forefront of the latest technologies and procedures and excelled in delivering the best noninvasive to minimally invasive procedures to their patients at every stage of their lives. Dr. Gupta is a graduate of the Harvard Medical School and has always had a passion for the arts with a keen eye on finding, creating and spreading beauty.
“I could not have found a profession more fitting to what I am passionate about,” she says.
Her favorite part:
“Every patient has a story and my patients literally become friends and family to me over time. Many of my patients have been with me for 15-20 years. I love hearing about their stories and their lives. The connections are so fulfilling and the smiles I am able to see on their faces are priceless.”
As part of her greater passion, Dr. Gupta is excited to announce the launch of her new initiative, The Moksha Way. This idea has been brewing in her mind since a young age because of her passion for Ayurvedic medicine, a modern science filled with ancient wisdom that guides us on living healthy, long lives. Originating from Sanskrit, Moksha means nirvana — freedom, self-confidence.
“We want people to live a life that is centered and purposeful,” says Dr. Gupta. The idea is to attain Moksha while alive and well during this lifetime.
The Moksha Way is a lifestyle, beauty and health initiative. Looking young and living young go hand in hand and influence each other in powerful ways. The emphasis is on everything that can be done to improve one’s skin, one’s appearance and one’s confidence, from procedures and products to physical and mental fitness.
The Moksha Way is comprised of three related iniatives: MokshaEsthetics, MokshaDerm and MokshaOrganics. Dr. Gupta calls it her three-legged foundation.
MokshaEsthetics – Built on Dr. Gupta’s DLVC, MokshaEsthetics provides state-of-the-art procedures to improve one’s appearance.
It also includes a carefully selected medical-grade skin care line to help maintain the health and youth of the skin. Some of the key products help protect against breakdown of collagen, pigment production and skin cancer cell formation. Others provide the growth factors necessary for healthy skin, hair and nails.
As part of MokshaEsthetics, Dr. Gupta plans to launch an innovative Aesthetics Labs in 2021, one of the first in the country. Moksha Aesthetics Labs will research and vet the combination of protocols, technologies and procedures for skin, face and body rejuvenation. These evidence-based best practices will be thoughtfully crafted to optimize results for patients and will be available to patient and doctor communities worldwide.
MokshaDerm – The second leg of The Moksha Way will emphasize healthy skin care, diagnosis and treatment of complex skin conditions, and preventive skin cancer checks and surveillance. The first branch of MokshaDerm opened recently in downtown Montgomery and is accepting new dermatology patients.
MokshaOrganics – The third leg of The Moksha Way is an organic skin care line which uses the wisdom from thousands of years of experimentation with natural ingredients that have shown conclusive benefits as antioxidants, anti-inflammatories and collagen stimulants. Moksha Organics’ skin care line combats the signs of aging, skin inflammation, acne and excess pigmentation. All products are certified organic, free from dangerous chemicals and preservatives. “It’s about staying healthy and looking great in a natural way,” says Dr. Gupta.
In the future, The Moksha Way plans to add more lifestyle services and products to its vision of keeping us all looking and living young.
