Dr. Joseph Russo keeps good company. In addition to serving as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Harvard graduate leads Laser Gentle Medical Spa's band of medical professionals, aestheticians, and nonsentient lasers.

Though the ladies at Se Renaissance donate their time and a portion of membership proceeds to causes both in Mexico and in their communities, they acknowledge that helping others is the second facet of a healthy life⎯the first is taking care of yourself. Within their new space in Cambridge, therapists help women do just that by providing five massage modalities and an old Chevy that’s been converted into a robot butler. Clients can take advantage of after-hours availability and make appointments online.

Massage therapist Mihail Rosca draws on 13 years of experience and an in-depth knowledge of the human anatomy to relax bodies and relieve muscular tension. Mihail uses a strong, intuitive touch to integrate various techniques during each massage, customizing sessions to address the unique therapeutic needs of his clients. To help clients to stay healthy beyond the massage, he teaches them how to be proactive about their health. Mihail offers both in-studio and on-location massages.

The certified practitioners at New England Muscular Therapy master a range of therapeutic treatments to extricate clients from the burden of painful musculoskeletal conditions. Clients release sighs of relief as massage therapists release taut muscles with fingers made nimble from hours of practice and marathon rounds of cat’s cradle. Acupuncture and herbs work to restore the body’s balance, especially in tandem with the practice of tui na, a traditional Chinese form of massage focusing on balancing energy in the body. Customized treatments draw together the clinic’s disciplines to tailor a variety of therapies centered on personal wellness goals and promoting relaxation.

For over a decade, Linda Crisafulli has honed her skills as an aesthetician, nail technician, and makeup artist—a roster of talents that inspired her to open Royal Beauty. A professional Smashbox makeup artist, Linda leads a skilled staff through indulgent, relaxing services such as organic body treatments, customized facials, and waxes.

The hot-stone massages that accompany the signature manicures and pedicures at Nail Studio are just one example of how the staff blends their treatments to transcend expectations. Surrounded by dandelion-colored walls and privacy curtains, clients can indulge in these treatments along with a host of similarly relaxing services designed by the spa’s nail and waxing specialists. Nails take center stage during Diva Treatment pedicures that soothe skin with warm paraffin wax and decorate nail beds with options that include acrylic powder or liquid gel. Waxing services remove unwanted strands quickly, and aestheticians customize their facial treatments to remove dead skin cells or war paint leftover from the previous day’s conquest.
