Beauty & Spas in Destrehan

The team of professionals at Body Image Solutions—a center devoted to health and wellness—works to beautify bodies inside and out with aesthetic laser services and a full-service medical spa.

Elsewhere at Body Image Solutions, its advanced lasers target imperfections lurking just below the skin's surface with treatments such as spider vein therapy and laser hair removal with a Candela GentleYAG device. Clients who cast their eyes spa-ward might catch a glimpse of professional makeup applications using Jane Iredale products or pouts that are freshly plumped thanks to injectables such as Botox, Juvéderm, and Restylane. In addition to its routine aesthetic enhancements, Body Image Solutions offers acne treatments, facial skin resurfacing, and intense pulsed light treatments to remove red and brown pigmentation caused by sun damage, all with the help of the advanced Candela GentleLase.

From wall-length windows, passersby peek into the fuchsia halls of U-Wink Eyelash Extensions and watch as experts carefully elongate lashes and transform normal eyelashes into dynamic and striking blinking machines. During the eyelash-extension sessions, the specialists bond between 30 and 120 individual lashes made of synthetic materials, silk, or mink to natural lashes, meticulously skipping baby lashes in order to avoid disrupting the lashes’ natural lifecycle. In addition to lashes, the specialists dress eyes and faces with mineral eye shadows during makeovers or makeup lessons using a handful of the 40 colors that can be used as eye shadow, lip gloss, eyeliner, nail polish, or thought bubbles.

Dr. Sherri Casey and Dr. Buddy Terral banish blemishes from epidermal homes with facial procedures, peels, and laser hair-removal treatments. The medical professionals stimulate collagen production and combat the effects of aging using a variety of procedures such as microdermabrasion, Restylane and Radiesse injections, and Botox to smooth away frown lines brought on by the stress of work or remembering to blink exactly four times per minute. The clinic’s HydraFacials clear away dead skin cells and lavish the newly uncovered surfaces with moisturizing serums, while lactic and glycolic peels brush away web-like fine lines.

Certified medical aesthetician and laser technician Pamela Regira founded Pamela's Skin Care, featured in Allure magazine, as a means of consolidating her diverse talents and services under a single roof. Nestled within The Center for Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery, the skincare boutique specializes in traditional facials and masks along with chemical peels and microdermabrasion treatments—the latter of which employs minute crystals to slough away dead skin cells. When performing each of her custom treatments, Pamela draws on 17 years of experience in the skincare industry, some of which she spent training in Miami, New York, and California.

Paradise Wellness MedSpa owner Katrina McDaniel has opened more than 200 med spas across the U.S. during her impressive career. She has cultivated an eye for safe, effective high-tech skin and body treatments. At the flagship Paradise Wellness clinic, licensed laser technicians consult with patients and prepare them for each minimally invasive procedure, which can range from banishing old tattoos to removing nail fungus with laser therapy. Noninvasive Zerona and Lapex treatments employ advanced laser technology to spot reduce fat deposits and set up a laser-tripwire perimeter to prevent the fat from sneaking back in.

Esthetic MD Med Spa Medical Director Dr. Herbert Ichinose understands that each client is unique and approaches his or her skincare concerns accordingly. The professor and dermatopathologist, who has nabbed the Mellon Award from Tulane and recognition from New Orleans Magazine, restores a youthful glow to faces with Photo Actif light therapy, microcurrent face-lifts, and Clarisonic facial treatments. He also helps clients ward off wrinkles with Botox and uncovers natural beauty with Starflower organic skincare products, Jane Iredale chemical-free makeup, and Nectifirm creams, which aim to make necks wrinkle-free like an origami giraffe. Esthetic MD Med Spa also offers Swedish and deep-tissue massages as well as body peels that incorporate vitamin C and salicylic acid.
