Beauty & Spas in Plantation

South Seas Tattoo Company's artist and founder Rob Soli’s expertise extends from a lifetime of professionally painting, sketching, and airbrushing in his hometown of Honolulu. His tattooing philosophy reflects the Oceanic and Pacific Islander tradition, which views tattoos as a rite of passage rather than a mere accessory. With his custom pieces, he aims to commemorate significant events or honor one's heritage. A team of artists carry out piercings and body images such as portraits, fantasy designs, and Polynesian tribal work in stainless-steel stations equipped with privacy screens. They match their pride in sterilization techniques with that of their designs by exceeding all local, state, and industry standards.

South Florida Skin Care Systems' resident medical aesthetician, Denise Yopp, draws from more than 30 years of experience to beautify faces, fight wrinkles, and repair skin damage using products with active antioxidant ingredients. Denise meets with each client for a complimentary consultation, during which she designs custom treatments that can target issues such as acne scars, sun damage, and sagging skin. Noninvasive photofacials smooth out wrinkles, and permanent makeup eliminates the need to befriend clowns for their lipstick and eyeliner while tolerating one too many honking sounds. When not making over visages with other services, including chemical peels and microdermabrasion treatments, Denise educates and lectures across the country.

Image Medical Spa’s team of doctors and aestheticians fights the effects of time’s ceaseless march with customized skincare treatments, medical-grade procedures, and vitamin-infused facials. Facials restore overly dry, oily, and glow-in-the-dark skin, while heavy-hitting Botox injections intimidate wrinkles, keeping them from foreheads and mouths for months as a time. To purge furry patches, aestheticians wield medical lasers or warm up waxes that whisk away hair to leave behind more shapely eyebrows or mysterious crop circles.

The soft teal walls of Royal Palm Wellness & MedSpa’s private treatment rooms shelter a variety of state-of-the-art devices designed to improve appearance without surgery. The licensed staff members fade fine lines and wrinkles with four different types of cosmetic injectables, including Juvéderm and Restylane, and wield specialized lasers to halt or restore hair growth, slim and contour the body, or shrink annoying younger siblings. The med spa also performs CelluPulse cellulite therapy, which smoothes dimples with waves of pressure that manipulate underlying tissues to relocate superficial fat cells, restoring firmness and elasticity to the skin.

There is no follicle too wispy or fuzz too peachy to avoid the professional waxen masters at European Wax Center. Before your defoliation, you'll be slathered like so much beef brisket with the Center's calming cleanser and a pre-depilatory oil that fights irritation and redness. A very special, alcohol-free blend of polymers and beeswax is specially designed to uproot hair with nary a pang of pain. Afterward, your newly smooth skin will be pampered with an ingrown-hair-and-breakout-despising solution.

At Just Wax It, the technological advances of a med spa marry the rejuvenating and beautifying traditions of a classic spa. Founded by master waxer Mendy Moses, the relaxation haven has hung its smooth, bristle-free hat on its waxing specialties, rendering flawless bodyscapes with a pain-reducing grade of brazilian blue wax. In a short time, such services have earned the spa accolades, including a finalist slot in Citysearch’s 2010 Best Bikini Wax poll. Yet beyond rendering smooth skin, the spa has a broad spectrum of treatments, pampering guests with mani-pedis, body wraps, and facials that nourish complexions with vitamin-rich serums and masks customized to treat each face's distinct issues and resemble its favorite superhero.

With a board-certified plastic surgeon as its medical director, the skin spa harnesses the latest tools in medical and cosmetic technology. Fillers such as Botox and Juvéderm smooth wrinkles lining the eyes and lips or help lift brows for more youthful appearances. Aestheticians can also use the precise power of lasers for anti-aging services or vein removal, and nonsurgical liposuction with CoolSculpting can target hard-to-exercise areas around the waistline.
