Gantt, SC Beauty and Salons

Since 2003, New Image Medical Aesthetic Center's Dr. Gregory Zengo has been drawing on his expertise in noninvasive treatments to beautify bodies from the inside and out. Through training, he's kept abreast of the latest techniques for Botox, mesotherapy, and vein treatments, and has even combined the techniques of several leading experts–including Dr. Jeff Klein, the inventor of tumescent liposuction–to create his own office-based treatment for fat reduction. Whether skimming off years or inches from bodies, Dr. Zengo is directly involved every step of the way.

His hands-on dedication to beauty has also been the guiding force for his physicians training program, through which he has been sharing his aesthetic skills since 2006. Dr. Zengo has trained more than 400 physicians since the program's inception, giving others the benefit of his keenness for spider-vein injections, natural hormone balancing, and the GPS coordinates of the fountain of youth.

In a room punctuated with posters of Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland, the air crackles with the sound of popcorn popping as people pull cold drinks from a Coca-Cola machine or pose for a picture on a red-carpet runway. Though it sounds like the ambiance of a movie premiere or a dreamed-up DMV, the old-school Hollywood atmosphere sets the tone for LadyLash Cafe, a salon specializing in eyelash extensions. Lash stylist Santana augments patrons’ lash lines with clustered extensions, using less for basic applications and more for dramatic MegaLashes treatments.
