Office Manager
Bahareh Pakbaz joined Novel U Wellness in March 2024 as the office manager, bringing a unique blend of medical expertise and administrative skills to the team. Her medical journey began in Iran, where she graduated from Tehran University in 2006 with a degree in medicine. Driven by a passion for cosmetic medicine, she operated her own practice and worked in the field for three years before immigrating to the United States.
After immigrating, she focused on raising her two wonderful children—a 10-year-old son and an 8-year-old daughter. Once they began school, she returned to college, successfully completing all the prerequisite courses required to apply for a Physician Assistant (PA) program. Joining the exceptional team at Novel U Wellness has allowed her to further immerse herself in the medical field while gaining hands-on experience in a collaborative and innovative environment.
She is excited to combine her medical background and dedication to patient care with her future role as a PA and looks forward to contributing to the wellness of the patients alongside the Novel U Wellness team in Long Beach.

Esthetician
My journey in the skincare industry began in 2004, driven by a passion for skin health, beauty, and helping people feel confident in their own skin. My goal has always been more than offering a basic facial. I create transformative skin experiences with real, visible results.
I have completed advanced training programs across the United States and continuously update my expertise with the latest clinical techniques and skin science. I am proudly Board Certified in the State of California, which reflects my commitment to the highest professional standards.
My approach combines clinical, result-driven treatments with a luxurious and calming experience. Every face is unique and never routine. From acne and pigmentation to aging and rejuvenation, I focus on treating the root cause, stimulating collagen, and restoring the skin’s natural glow.
What sets my work apart is not only technique, but also an artistic eye, a deep understanding of skin structure, and personalized care. When you leave my treatment room, it is not just your skin that feels renewed. Your confidence and radiance are elevated as well.
For me, beauty is not surface-level. It is a transformation.

Dr. Mahdavi is everything you could possibly hope for in a physician - kind and caring, with wonderful skills and an understanding that each patient has their own unique needs. I could not be happier with the results I have experienced under Dr. Mahdavi's care. Shelsie, Dr. M's office manager, is wonderful and amazingly helpful as well. I was excited to learn Novel U will soon be expanding their skin care services when they add an esthetician to their office - and am looking forward to when I can book a spa day with them! medical spa med spa Long Beach.
