Beauty & Spas in Jeffersonville

The accomplished tattoo artists at Xtreme Ink and Piercing stamp the skin with colorful, custom art and decorate the body with shimmering hoops and studs. Their repertoire of meticulously inked images ranges from whimsical pictures such as a giraffe or sentient ice-cream cone to more iconic visuals, such as a shadowy portrait of John Lennon or a bold emblem of Captain America's shield. The team also applies permanent makeup designed to match skin tone and personal style. Bright-red walls, leather couches, and hardwood floors create a salon-like interior, and 60-inch televisions distract clients wary of needles and getting burned by a flaming yin-yang symbol.

The long strokes of a therapeutic massage. A diamond-tipped wand that sloughs off depleted skin cells. Carefully targeted cosmetic injections that help ease the signs of aging. Often a person seeking all of these services would have to visit a chiropractor, salon, and med spa to achieve their goals, but the team of medical professionals and aestheticians at Splendid Skin Medspa cater to a wide range of needs in one relaxing, spa-like destination. A fleet of high-powered lasers penetrate the skin to rejuvenate faces, ease or eliminate hair growth, and destroy strip-mines hidden beneath the toenails, and massage services and B12 injections help to increase energy and health.

Enesa Seremet, who has globetrotted as an international skincare specialist and earned a postgraduate CIDESCO degree in aesthetics, now helms Enesa Skin Institute, a center that specializes in European beauty treatments. In addition to using techniques from overseas, Seremet imports holistic products such as French wax. Unlike standard hot wax, this Parisian product warms in response to body heat rather than freelancing hibachi grills and avoids burning skin as it gently strips away stubble. Dried herbs and spices combine to create masks for six-procedure facials, soaking skin in natural vitamins and minerals. Each session starts with a personal consultation, and early patrons wait for their aesthetician in a yellow waiting room with Victorian-style couches and armchairs.

Owner David Stonis understands that one size does not fit all, whether in relation to clothes or cosmetic lasers. That's why Cosmetic Laser stocks two different types of lasers to effectively remove hair or beautify skin of all tones. Stonis attends ongoing education seminars to stay up-to-date on the latest technologies, treatments, and slang terms for laser beams. Between him and his staff of licensed aestheticians and physicians, Cosmetic Laser has performed more than 20,000 treatments.

Cosmetic Laser and Beauty Spa’s team of licensed technicians have conducted more than 6,000 successful treatments with their triad of laser systems: a Sciton Profile, a Candela GentleLase, and a Candela GentleYag. With adjustable diameter beams, techs can cater to unique hair textures and skin types during laser hair removal, skin-tightening treatments, and spider-vein therapy. The clinic places a premium on patient comfort with the help of the Candela system's built in cooling formula and optional topical anesthetic, which is more effective at counterbalancing a laser's heat than only treating patients outdoors during blizzards. Continuing-education workshops keep techs' skills sharp.

Physicians and licensed aestheticians work alongside the laser techs in the 4,000-square-foot clinic, spearheading alternative-beauty procedures. They can exfoliate skin with aluminum-oxide crystals during microdermabrasion, smooth away wrinkles with Botox and Juvéderm injections, and airbrush physiques with bronzing formula that helps clients blend in with their pet camels.

With more than 20 years of medical experience in the U.S., U.K., and India, Dr. Ram Chandra reels in his far-reaching skills to focus exclusively on beauty woes. At Anara MedSpa & Cosmetic Laser Center, named best medical spa by readers of New Jersey Monthly in 2011 and 2012, the certified aesthetic consultant combats unwanted hair, sun damage, and spider veins with advanced laser technology, while his team of aestheticians replenishes skin with traditional facials and chemical peels.
