The facials at Facelogic Spa aim to make people feel like they're floating. Not just because of the soothing products used or the aestheticians' massage techniques, but because every client sits in a cloud-like zero-gravity recliner during their service. Unlike a traditional massage table, these chairs elevate legs to take stress off the spine and make the body feel as if it's hovering like a slice of cucumber on an air-hockey table.

While clients are suspended in this stress-free state, aestheticians tend to professional-strength skincare with a roster of masks, peels, and serums. Advanced options include chemical peels to brighten, resurface, and exfoliate faces.

Dr. Kris Patel’s journey to The Pearland Clinic began upon his graduation from India's Bangalore University in 1990, before whisking him across the ocean for further study at the Fort Wayne Medical Education Program. After a brief detour to Bloomington, Indiana, he finally set up permanent practice in Houston in 1998, where he has been practicing family medicine ever since. The polylingual doc––who speaks Hindi, Gujarati, Spanish, and English––specializes in skincare, allergies, and pediatric and adolescent care, and also treats those in need of urgent care for minor emergencies, such as injuries or swallowed pride. The clinic also boasts an aesthetic branch, where visages are revamped by certified aestheticians who perform chemical peels, facials, and microdermabrasion treatments as well as cosmetic enhancements, such as permanent cosmetics and tattoo removal.

She Beauty Studio owner Maria E. Garza—a 14-year beauty-industry veteran—began her foray into the business as a makeup artist for companies such as Lancôme and Chanel. She subsequently expanded her repertoire by studying aesthetics and skin physiology at Austin's Nuvani Skin Institute and by working alongside doctors and plastic surgeons to learn the intricacies of laser treatments and chemical peels. At her Seabrook beauty spa, she lends her expertise to clients with services ranging from spa facials, eyelash extensions, and waxing services to microdermabrasion treatments that slough off dead skin cells, giving the skin a smooth, firm appearance without covering it in marble.

At Amerejuve, brand-name cosmetic treatments take precedence over surgical enhancements. Radio frequencies and light energy are the center’s weapons of choice against the effects of aging, encouraging collagen production in IPL photofacials and discouraging dimpled skin during VelaShape anticellulite treatments. Injections take one of two approaches to ridding faces of creases: Botox protein solutions block signals to the nerves that cause frown lines to form, and Restylane and Juvéderm gels puff up dermal tissue so that clients don’t have to keep their skin taut by living inside a wind tunnel.

Amerejuve boasts eight Houston-area locations, including a recently opened location on South Voss Road, and Kingswood and The Woodlands locations opened over the summer.

The professionals at Laser Technique, LLC by Skin & Laser Diva draw upon their experience as medical aestheticians and certified laser technician when performing laser and IPL procedures at Laser Technique, LLC by Skin & Laser Diva. Therapeutic laser beams aim to reduce unwanted stubble and combat leg and facial veins. Procedures can also resurface faces, leaving behind glowing complexions so patrons can remove the reading lights clipped to their noses. And laser-free facial treatments can likewise brighten skin; these treatments include chemical peels and Vibradermabrasion.

Under the watchful eye of medical director Dr. Mary Campbell-Fox, the physician's assistants, laser specialists, and aestheticians of Reflections Medical Spa revamp skin with advanced technologies and products. Using the Visia Complexion Analysis system, the staff performs a computerized evaluation of clients’ spots, wrinkles, and other blemishes to help customize a treatment plan. These plans may include the Cutera laser, which reduces the appearance of veins, unwanted hair, and wrinkles, or Aurora Precision Diamond Peel microdermabrasion, which sloughs off dead skin cells and penned phone numbers. Products from Jan Marini Skin Research, glo therapeutics, and glo minerals makeup further aid in improving the skin.
