With a full-time physician on hand and a slew of beautifying treatments, Nu Image Med Spa Tampa brings medical expertise into a spa-like environment. Expertly aimed laser beams take on multiple tasks, alternately nipping hair follicles in the bud or restoring aging skin to youthful opulence. FDA–approved injectable such as Restylane and Botox ward off wrinkles and lift sagging countenances. Topical treatments such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion reduce signs of aging by sloughing off dull outer layers and unveiling new, fresh skin. Nu Image Med Spa Tampa's practitioners hire private detectives to keep tabs on the beauty industry's latest research and accept only the most effective skincare products by companies such as Obagi and Skin Medica for use in conjunction with beauty treatments.

At The Skin Spa of Wake Forest, talented aestheticians revive skin with a mixture of natural and medical-grade processes and Clinical Concepts products. Highly trained professionals cleanse, exfoliate, and dress faces to minimize signs of aging or lines formed from the stress of typing out a manuscript while wearing boxing gloves. If clients seek to extend the relaxing massages that punctuate most facials, they can plop down on a massage table for a full bodywork treatment. Waxing specialists also stand by, ready to rid the body of unwanted hair and inverted pocket lint.

Yellow accents and diffused lighting make the reception area of LaBrecque Center for Aesthetics feel more like an upscale living room. This homey vibe permeates the center's private treatment rooms, where Tempur-Pedic pillows sprawl across fluffy beds. In these well-appointed quarters, beauty professionals sit down with patients for aesthetic consultations and treatments. They take time to account for all the factors that impact beauty, and use these considerations to build treatment plans that help clients look and feel as beautiful on the outside as they do inside their high-school yearbooks. Licensed aestheticians call upon laser technology for the majority of services, wielding the energetic light to remove hair, tighten skin, and spur cell regeneration. Complementing their work, an onsite physician plumps wrinkles with Botox and performs laser tattoo removal with an authentic lightsaber.

The name says it all. At Tampa Bay’s Best Skin and Massage, the staff caters to each client’s specific needs to leave skin refreshed or to massage away pain and stress. Facials such as a chocolate-antioxidant treatment replenish and repair skin and save clients from laborious swims in the chocolate river. Alternatively, the staff uses gentle waxing techniques to rid clients of facial or body hair, and soft, heated sheets and candle-lit rooms enhance the relaxing massage services.

The myriad treatments at Fusion Medispa Laser & SkinCare Lounge span the spectrum of advanced aesthetics and soothing spa services. From the DMAE anti-aging Power facial, an intense round of exfoliation followed by a collagen-rich mask to hair removal with a GentleLase laser, more medically-focused procedures bring clients’ beauty dreams to life. Spa treatments such as deep-tissue massages, body wraps, and manicures transform the space into a haven for relaxation.

A member of medical honor society Alpha Omega Alpha, Dr. Leanne Cross specializes in skin-rejuvenation procedures and injectable recontouring treatments. She half-jokingly calls herself the "injector to the injectors" for her popularity among fellow medical pros and sagging syringes. Her partner, Dr. Laurie De Luca, worked in emergency medicine before becoming interested in a more preventive approach to healthcare. Along with an all-female staff, the duo advises clients hoping to reduce signs of aging or amp up health with treatment plans that range from laser skin resurfacing to time-honored tactics such as vitamin injections and diet counseling to avoid blood-sugar crashes and spikes.
