It shouldn’t cost a fortune to erase your regrets. So goes the philosophy of Jerry Manning, the founder of and certified laser specialist at New Image Laser Skin Center. Using a water pistol filled with whiteout and a Q-switched laser with multiple wavelengths, each aimed at a different kind of pigment, Manning helps his patrons fade their unwanted artwork. He also helps cancer survivors to erase the marks of their struggles, providing free removal of radiation tattoos. Alternatively, his lasers can remove the natural marks of aging during fractional-laser skin resurfacing, which boosts collagen production to smooth wrinkles, plump skin, and recreate a youthful glow.

In the Buff Salon and Day Spa's licensed beauticians love what they do, whether updating hairstyles or polishing toenails. Driven by the goal to provide top-notch value and service, specialists observe flexible scheduling when booking appointments and industry standards when administering them. Hair experts nourish and color manes with products by brands such as Moroccanoil, Pureology, and Biolage, while aestheticians lavish bodies with award-winning lotions and serums by Jan Marini Skin Care. The salon's massage therapists entered the finalist round in timesfreepress.com's best therapeutic massage competition, gaining accolades thanks to deeply relaxing bodywork and the ability to defeat even the most tightly clenched tendon fists.

Salon La Vie’s stylists—many of whom have trained with professional brands such as Schwarzkopf, Redken, and Dikson—keep up with the latest trends and techniques to provide clients with contemporary looks to fit all lifestyles. Men’s and women’s haircuts, feather extensions, and keratin hair-smoothing treatments are just a few of the studio's specialties, which extend all the way to elegant updos and makeup for special events such as weddings or formal trips to the dry cleaners. A certified massage therapist rounds out the salon’s offerings with 30- to 90-minute massages that draw on Swedish, deep-tissue, and sports modalities.

The Cutera NdYag Laser, outfitted with CoolGlide Xeo technology to keep skin cool and comfortable, is the backbone of Aesthetic Laser Medical Spa & Salon, performing services such as permanent hair reduction, tattoo and spider-vein removal, and nonablative skin therapy. Unlike other lasers, this FDA-cleared laser's longer wavelength allows it to diminish hair on all types of skin, including tan and dark, and it works on both coarse and fine hair. It can treat unsightly veins quicker than sclerotherapy, it can improve skin tone and texture, and it rarely if ever requires downtime. The Cutera system's beautifying efforts are aided by facials, magic, body wraps, and Dysport injections.
