Our Story
Where Modern Dermatology Meets the Warmth of Real Care
We created NOVS for people who want visible change — without pressure, trends, or feeling like a number.
This Didn’t Begin as a Med Spa
It began with women sitting in a treatment room saying:
"I don't feel like myself in my body anymore."
Today Next OV Skin is a holistic dermatology clinic for every life stage.
Teens, adults, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond — built on one idea:
You shouldn’t have to choose between real results and feeling cared for.
How It Started
Dr. Carleigh Tenzin originally developed mombellymend while helping mothers recover after pregnancy — rebuilding tissue, scars, and confidence without surgery.
Over five years of research and hands-on treatment, something became clear:
The same patterns existed in everyone. Stress. Hormones. Aging. Inflammation. Disconnection from the body.
People kept asking: “Can you help me too?” The answer was yes.
Our Philosophy
We Call It Science Meets Soul
Every plan combines medical dermatology oversight with a whole-body understanding of skin — including stress, hormones, and lifestyle patterns that influence healing.
No packages. No rushing. No scare tactics.
Just thoughtful pacing and results that still look like you.
Our goal isn’t perfection. It’s helping you feel at home in your body again.
Our Promise
This Is a Place for Everyone
Moms and non-moms. Women and men. Teens through perimenopausal skin. All skin tones. We believe visible change should come without pressure or extremes — and that treating the whole picture is the only way forward.
A Connected Ecosystem of Care
Next OV Skin and Iris Wellness Center work together so you can address skin goals while also supporting the underlying drivers that affect skin: stress, hormones, inflammation, and recovery.
At Iris Wellness Center, holistic medicine and acupuncture support the whole-body side of healing — women’s health, stress, recovery, and more.
Edmonds Waterfront
A Place That Feels Like an Exhale
Perched on the Edmonds waterfront overlooking the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound, our clinic was designed to feel nothing like a doctor’s office. Natural light, curated art, and calm energy greet you the moment you walk in.
