Beauty & Spas in Irving

Dr. Joel Potasznik’s steady, experienced hand guides the treatments at Dallas Tattoo Removal Clinic, where he and his staff aid patients in bidding adieu to inked artwork, excess inches, or toenail fungus. With the Medlite Q-Switched laser system, they fade unwanted drawings or parking tickets from skin surfaces. Their knowledge with the Sonic Body Shaping Station enables them to foster slimmer shapes without the use of invasive surgery or multiple rounds through a taffy puller.

Medical aesthetician Diana Luna has developed her touch for topical skincare during the past eight years, teaming up with a physician to expand their ability to treat skin at Spa D'Luna. Luna's focus is healthful, youthful skin, which Diana cultivates with Image Skincare tonics that resurface damaged areas and refine pores. The resident medical director plumps aging skin with cosmetic injections and oversees the use of noninvasive lasers, which stimulate cellular turnover and collagen production in the epidermis to create a smooth surface for playing air hockey. For a spell of relaxation, the day spa helps knead stress out of bodies with massage offerings and hair removal via sugaring.

Casting off antiquated approaches to beauty, Advantage Health and Beauty embraces and implements modern technology to perform a range of aesthetic treatments. Techs harness the second-generation VelaShape system's bipolar radio frequencies and light energy to slim down silhouettes, and the multifunction Cutera CoolGlide laser achieves more external enhancement in its removal of unwanted hairs, varicose veins, and the body's leftover serial numbers. Beyond the light technology it offers, the beauty center also polishes the complexion with microdermabrasion and five types of peels, which are designed to shed dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of a new, youthful complexion.

The best gardeners are said to have a "green thumb," savvy art collectors have "the eye," and those in the know say that Josanne Stephens of Spa in the City has a "special touch." Over the last 25 years, Josanne has pinned down the craft of beautification to a science. The focused beams of Spa In The City's lasers zap away nail fungus, unwanted tattoos, spider veins, and skin creases from napping in an amethyst mine. Once a week Spa in The City transfers over to the office of Dr. Connie Casad to administer an array of injectable treatments.

Helmed by registered nurse Marie Reyes, SkinSpa Med’s staff of licensed aestheticians and massage therapists pampers appearances with a wide variety of cosmetic treatments. The med spa's stable of six non-invasive lasers zaps away sagging skin and undesirable texture, rendering faces or cellulite-afflicted areas smooth and taut enough for quarter-bouncing contests. Alternatively, Dr. Kevin Light consults with guests interested in invasive procedures to dramatically alter features through cosmetic surgery. To accommodate frequent customers, SkinSpa Med offers memberships that allow guests to mix and match multiple treatments each month.

Bollywood Stylz's staff specializes in the ancient Indian practice of threading eyebrows, masterfully clearing away rows of hair to form crisply defined brows that lend eyes a striking frame. They gently twist threads to catch unwanted strands and lift them from follicles on eyebrows, stray facial hairs, or necks. The process avoids the irritation that comes from waxes, benefitting those with sensitive skin or those who are themselves made out of wax.

In addition to threading, the stylists trim and color tresses, wax legs and bikini lines, cleanse pores with facials, and pamper guests with other salon services. Another in-house specialty is the intricate, reddish-brown designs of traditional henna body art.
