Beauty & Spas in Lantana

At the age of 18, Skin N Beyond owner and licensed aesthetician Suzanne Turi traded her pageant gowns for a makeup brush, moving to Hollywood to attend the Joe Blasco makeup school. After graduation, she found herself smack in the middle of major happenings, beautifying faces at events such as the Rose Bowl, the Oscars, and Morgan Freeman's fantasy baseball draft. Armed with know-how gleaned from The Dermal Institute in Manhattan and the Galen Institute School of Massage Therapy in Connecticut, she recruited a team of staffers versed and certified in multiple cosmetic disciplines to help her establish Skin N Beyond. That multifaceted expertise shows through today; as clients sip wine and listen to pop hits in the spa's trendy boutique-like lounge, team members execute beautification rituals ranging from manicures and seaweed gel masks to eyelash extensions, microdermabrasion, and medical-grade facial peels.

This is an energetically based, sacred healing space," says Dr. Laura Skellchock, describing the aura of Integrative Dermatology. "That's what I wanted to create– and you can feel it when you come in." Dr. Skellchock combines the methods of general dermatology and cosmetic dermatology at this serene boutique clinic, relying on more than 20 years of skin expertise as she combats everything from acne, to wrinkles, to stuck-on Halloween masks. She has a sharp eye for catching lesions before they morph into melanomas, using a sophisticated dermatoscope to spot irregularities too small to be seen by the unaided eye.

Township Laser Center’s specialists blast unwanted hair with pulsed light in speedy sessions that provide an escape from the purgatory of endless waxing, shaving, and tweezing. Cooling systems keep clients and skin comfortable as pulsed light sweeps over skin, softly humming disco tunes to itself. By altering settings on the Palomar pulsed-light system, technicians can refresh time-ravaged skin with photofacials, which tackle sun damage, age spots, rosacea, and visible veins.

Skin Secrets, Inc. was created upon the founder's diverse talents and experience as a licensed aesthetician, medical electrologist, and laser technician, meaning that each of the services offered at the med-spa are meant not only to relax the body, but actually get to the root of aging and other aesthetic issues through medical means. The certified and licensed staff focuses on custom treatments using medical-grade products, performing services that include body sculpting, permanent makeup, and lymphatic drainage to medical micro needling, a new technique for stimulating collagen in the face. For exfoliation, the aesthetician resurfaces the skin with diamond-tip microdermabrasions, facial peels, or dermaplaning, which softens fine lines by removing the top layer of skin and fine hair. They also work with elōs technology, which blends gentle radio frequencies with lasers to rejuvenate and tighten skin, remove body hair and spider veins, and cure hiccups.
