Beauty & Spas in Mount Pleasant

Beyond boasting a national research award from the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and receiving invitations to lecture on the national circuit, Dr. Thomas Funcik holds the prestigious honor of having been chosen by several major pharmaceutical companies to teach the age-reversing techniques of Botox, Dysport, Restylane, and Sculptra to other doctors. Excelling in reconstructive surgery for the nose, face, eyes, and scalp, he also helps faces to avoid the knife with cosmetic skin treatments, including injections, which are personally performed by Dr. Funcik, that fill out fine lines and help to mask scars and chemical peels that use alpha-hydroxy acids to shed damaged skin cells and restore the skin's original childish sense of wonderment. Dr. Funcik is double board-certified and also serves as an assistant professor.

Like a wheel hub unifies the spokes of a unicycle, Cirque Salon Studio offers a cooperative facility where stylists, aestheticians, and massage therapists can come together from one handsome purpose. Within cozy Studio 205, Christine Lord can be found engineering new face-framing scissor cuts and hydrating tresses with invigorating deep-conditioning treatments. A licensed stylist since 1982, she has spent the last 13 years as a color technician and has taught her aesthetic skills to students all over the country. Clients may solicit both her cutting and coloring services for a total look and to add dimension to tasteless plates of linguine.

The enamel experts at BeachBright Smiles increase the wattage of beaming grins with their signature in-office teeth-whitening treatment. In approximately 20 minutes, the partnership between peroxide gel and LED light works to break up tooth discoloration and stains caused by drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, and eating realistic portraits of bowled fruit. Results can last up to two years with regular brushing and maintenance, and clients can also schedule teeth-whitening parties that accommodate multiple guests at a time.

Eastport Aesthetics pampers patrons with a full menu of spa services in a luxurious, relaxing environment. During a fotofacial, a licensed nurse practitioner will use a nourishing combination of intense pulsed light and radiofrequency energy to erase sunspots, age spots, freckle spots, and the other discolorations and spots that life stencils onto your skin while you're sleeping. Afterward, clients can wrap up in a soft and fuzzy robe while ogling Charleston Harbor, then slip back into real-world clothing before steering their freshly tended flesh toward the outdoors.

The Mango Spa House's crack team of massage therapists and facial specialists lavishes the mind and body with a wide array of services such as waxing, reflexology massages, and facials. From the forehead to the feet, waxologists eliminate unwanted tufts, clearing away fuzz from the legs and bikini area for women and the chest and man-tini area for men. Aestheticians harness microcurrent technology for body-sculpting and facial treatments, whereas massage therapists mend musculatures with hand-applied Swedish, trigger-point, or reflexology kneadings that soothe away stress left over from a job interview's bomb-defusing section. The Mango Spa House also partners with local practitioners who come in to perform everything from acupuncture to detox massages.

Armed with the latest in microcurrent facial technology, Youthful Radiance Spa’s seasoned age-wranglers use a non-invasive, FDA-approved method to render flesh busts worthy of marble busts. After a personal consultation takes stock of skin's topography and possum infestation, the spa's technicians slather a conductive blend of skin products onto the face, then spend the remainder of the hour gliding a wand across skull-hulls' various barnacles. As an electric current dances excitedly from the wand into specific acupuncture points, it motivates production of collagen, which fells wrinkles, firms droopy flesh-folds, and shrinks pores. Facial sculpting also tightens jowls, which makes senators look fresh-faced and bulldogs look weird.
