Lotus Laser & Spa’s wages war against aging with an arsenal of noninvasive spa and med-spa services. For example, to get rid of wrinkles, patients can avoid never blinking and instead choose the traditional cleansing and exfoliation of the Lotus Silk facial or the more advanced laser light of an IPL photofacial. Both treatments, as well as the spa’s Botox injections, laser hair-removal sessions, and chemical peels, are performed under the medical direction of Dr. Lawrence Gogenola, a board-certified dermatologist with more than 20 years of experience.

An infrared laser tightens skin by stimulating collagen growth, diminishing the appearance of fine lines. The nonsurgical process is just one of Vitality Laser Spa’s treatments, but it's representative of the rest: beautifying services that incur little to no downtime afterward. Because beauty treatments, like chicken soup, should only be handled by people with medical training, a clinical aesthetician and laser specialist performs each of these services under the supervision of a medical director. Their other specialties include removing hair with a laser, plumping fine lines with a collagen mask, and treating cellulite with infrared light and radio-frequency energy.

For the stylists at Salon Bella, staying ahead of fashion and technology is of utmost importance. That is why they undergo continual training in emerging hair, nail, and skin techniques and use only high-quality products to beautify clients. They lavish tresses with Aveda haircare products and polish faces with PCA peels.

For nearly a decade, the expert aestheticians at Abby Laser Spa have enriched epidermises and tresses with a variety of precisely handled procedures and products. As items on a full spa menu exfoliate faces, beautify nails, and relax tensed muscles, waxing and threading services abolish unwelcome hair more effectively than clogging pores with eviction notices. Focus Medical technology also lends a hand in hair removal by harnessing heat to disable follicles. Microdermabrasion, skin tightening, and vascular legion procedures round out Abby Laser Spa's quintet of skincare services.

Guided by a licensed medical director, the team of certified laser technicians at Hellenic Laser Spa helps men and women refine their complexions with an array of skin services. Harnessing noninvasive light waves from diode, yag, and alexandrite lasers, team members prune unwanted body hair, even out pigmentation, alleviate acne, and blast toenail fungus. Radio frequency, infrared light, CO2 fractional, and Botox and Juvéderm injections iron out facial wrinkles that lead to sagging skin, crow's-feet, and being mistaken for a painting of an ancestor. The facility also boasts a team of massage therapists ready to smudge away stress with soothing kneads during Swedish, deep-tissue, and hot-stone massages.

Zen Zone Acupuncture and Spa’s original menu of services included traditional acupuncture and Chinese herbal-medicine treatments but has expanded over the past five years thanks to a growing team, which includes a medical director who is also a plastic surgeon, an acupuncturist/herbalist, and a laser specialist. The team now treats clients with dermal fillers and detox programs, wields the Candela GentleLase laser to remove unwanted hair, and supervises a smoking-cessation program to wean clients off nicotine. Massage therapists deploy hot stones and natural essential oils to relieve aches and pains, and Chinese and Japanese acupuncture techniques aim to erase facial wrinkles, soothe digestive issues, and rebalance people who feel like human tilt-a-whirls.
