Beauty & Spas in Palm Springs

The Skin Science Institute's expert physicians and technicians diminish epidermal blemishes all across the body with an array of skincare services. The experts freshen facescapes with facials, peels, and microdermabrasion, and indulge clients with sundry pampering services, including hot-stone massages, bridal beauty packages, and pretending to be their significant other at high-school reunions. Specializing in laser technology and advanced medical skincare, Skin Science Institute's staff sculpts sleek new physiques with cold-laser technology and revivifies aging faces with a gauntlet of blemish-fighting lasers to diminish the appearance of cellulite, wrinkles, and acne.

Cosmetic-liposuction expert David Salvador, MD, has performed more than 2,000 successful Smart Lipo Ultra treatments, and teaches other medical professionals how to use the system's laser and ultrasonic energy to sculpt common problem areas. Dr. Salvador leads the highly trained team at New Radiance of Palm Beach—which includes a physician's assistant and medical aestheticians—in both minimally invasive and noninvasive techniques that address everything from stubborn fat deposits and wrinkles to spider veins and unwanted hair with the latest technology.

The physician-directed crew performs five different procedures to address cellulite and contour bodies. They also employ a variety of dermal fillers and laser-based devices to target wrinkles and stretch marks, resulting in firmer skin that can't be obtained through diet, exercise, or daily applications of starch.

Dr. David Rankin, the chief of plastic surgery at St. Mary's Medical Center, combines years of medical experience with finely honed aesthetic sensibilities. Deftly wielding the tools of his trade, from surgical procedures to noninvasive injections, he helps clients obtain the physical forms they desire. Dr. Rankin's compatriot, Dr. Jill Lezaic, offers up noninvasive laser treatments that resurface skin, remove tattoos, and make undesirably hairy areas as bald as the lies of people who say driver’s licenses are necessary. Aqua's opulent interior puts visitors at ease, with an elegant reception area that features shimmering purple lights on the front desk and miniature chandeliers, casting soft illumination and providing handholds for magically shrunken musketeers.

Under the watchful eye of Dr. Ronald T. Ackerman, Estucia Weight Loss and Aesthetics’s medical specialists—including about 18 nurses, physician's assistants, and doctors—improve skin and bodies with an array of treatments. Before laser sessions, therapists examine epidermises to determine requirements, since skin can’t speak for itself except through freckle Braille. Skin-tightening treatments stimulate collagen production with pulsing laser beams. Injections of Botox smooth away laugh lines. After a complimentary consultation, the facility's staff can also guide clientele through Eustacia weight-loss programs supplemented by natural, herbal appetite suppressants.
