Behind The Filter :: After Dark Edition
🎧This week on Behind the Filter: After Dark Edition, we’re taking the show on the road to a hidden gem on the Northeast side of Indianapolis.
If you’ve ever wanted to escape the hustle of the city without actually leaving it, you need to see this place. We’re coming to you from Elysian Medspa & Rejuvenation Center, a stunning, secluded oasis tucked away in the woods…it doesn't even feel like you’re in Indiana—it feels like a complete getaway!
The Vibe: An Oasis in the Trees
From the moment we pulled up on a snowy Indy afternoon, we knew Elysian was different. The facility is surrounded by trees where you can see foxes and deer trotting through the grounds. It’s so serene that Indianapolis Mayor Deb Whitfield even called it a "hidden gem" at their grand opening.
While Elysian Medspa & Rejuvenation Center is designed for a full-day transformation. During our sit-down with the founders, Dr. Roopsi Bring and Dr. Sarbjot Kaur, it became clear that this isn't just about looking better—it’s about a holistic approach to how you function and feel.
More Than Your Average Medspa
What makes Elysian stand out isn’t just the gorgeous views—it’s their unique, comprehensive approach to health. They’ve combined high-end aesthetics with a Primary Care Facility and a specialized Dry Eye Clinic.
Revolutionary Dry Eye & Skin Technology
Most people treat dry eyes with a "band-aid" fix like drops, but Elysian uses advanced technology to treat the root cause all led by Dr. Sahaj Graywall.
IPL (Intense Pulse Light) & Radiofrequency: These treatments aren't just for the eyes—they are "game changers" for the whole body. They stimulate collagenesis (the laying down of new foundational skin) to tighten and contour.
The "Lash" Connection: If you’re a screen-user (which is all of us!), your blink rate drops by 50%, causing oil glands to clog. Dr. Graywall uses a biographer to map your glands and uses heat to melt those oils, potentially freeing you from eye drops forever.
Morpheus 8: This celebrity-favorite technology combines microneedling with radiofrequency to "rejuvenate and tighten" by targeting fat cells and breaking up old scarring.
The "Inside-Out" Approach: IV Hydration & Primary Care
Elysian is bridging the gap between beauty and medicine by offering Elysian Primary Care. This cash-based initiative allows patients to skip the insurance headaches and get "a la carte style medicine" for acute and chronic care.
To keep your energy levels up, they offer seven different IV Hydration packages, including:
The Immunity Drip: Perfect for fighting off the "snowy day" germs going around Indy.
Goddess Revival: Specifically formulated for women to help with blood loss and iron boosts during menstruation.
Vitality Boosters: Quick 30-to-60-minute sessions that provide an instant boost of energy for those struggling with fatigue or autoimmune symptoms.
The "Natural" Injectable Philosophy
For those nervous about Botox or filler, the team at Elysian—including Master Nurse Injector Tabitha Phillips—focuses on the preventative and subtle.
The "Naked Protein": They offer options like Xeomin, which has fewer additives than traditional Botox.
The "BFF" Special: One of their coolest offerings is the ability to bring a friend and split a syringe of filler—perfect for a subtle lip lift without the fear of being "overfilled."
Bridal & Social Oasis
Why head to a crowded bar for a bachelorette or birthday when you can have a private spa day? Elysian offers Bridal Packages where you get the entire facility to yourself for a few hours.
"You get a dedicated team member, light refreshments, and some champagne popping bottles... you get to celebrate whatever big win you have."
After Dark: The Girly Details & Audacity Stories
Once we finished the tour, Ashley and I sat down for some real talk. This week's episode covers everything from "man keeping" to the most insane stalking story we’ve heard in a long time.
The 159,000 Text Message Story
We dive into the viral (and terrifying) story of a woman who sent 159,000 text messages to a man after one date. That averages out to 500 texts a day!
"I can barely text people back... five hours later, three days later. How do you have time to send that many messages?"
What is "Man Keeping"?
We break down the new viral trend of "man keeping"—the invisible emotional labor women do for their partners. We also discuss why some women are ditching the term "boyfriend" for "partner" and why some Gen Z influencers think having a public relationship is "cringe."
Audacity at the Symphony
Johnette shares a wild story from a recent trip to Yuletide at the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Let’s just say it involves a very loud couple, a mid-performance altercation, and someone blowing kisses to diffuse a fight.
