Organic aloe vera is the nourishing foundation upon which most Aloette Cosmetics products are built, a tradition that began more than 30 years ago when Aloette launched as a direct-sales company. Today the success of Aloette Cosmetics is still owed to its high-quality ingredients along with its network of knowledgeable aestheticians and independent beauty consultants who frequently host demo parties, provide product recommendations, and expertly apply chic milk moustaches. Spread throughout North America, the Aloette team personally educates customers about its skincare, makeup, and bath products, all of which carry a signature fusion of all-natural ingredients.

With an eye toward economy and ecology, many of Aloette's products feature refillable magnetic compacts that help clients save money while reducing packaging waste. In addition to its eco-friendly policies and support for Go Red for Women, the Atlanta based company's philanthropic efforts have included Astral Project 800, an initiative in which the Aloette corporate staff pledged 800 hours of volunteer service to local charities.

Having studied skincare with prominent specialists such as Dr. Zein Obagi and Jan Marini, licensed aesthetician Suzanne Godbout pours a wealth of knowledge into each treatment she offers at Suzanne’s Esthetics. Though she’s a firm believer in achieving healthy skin by using sunscreen daily or simply becoming nocturnal, Suzanne gives complexions an added boost with facials, peels, and other services aided by professional products from SkinCeuticals and Jane Iredale. She works with clients to develop individual treatment plans and shows them easy ways to inject nourishing doses of vitamin C and retinol into their daily skincare routines.

Back to 30’s rejuvenating treatments noninvasively reignite aging clients’ youthful glows. The center's laser liposuction shapes frames without forcing patients to live in a human-size hourglass, and doctors administer two injectables—Botox and Restylane—to smooth away wrinkles. For a more rigorous overhaul, clients can opt for physician-assisted weight loss, or hormone-replacement therapy, which bolsters hormone levels back to their youthful heights.

Under the guidance of the medical directors, the health and beauty experts at Smooth Aesthetics Medical Spa promote wellness with a variety of clinical and holistic treatments. A doctor or nurse can facilitate medical services, such as cosmetic injectables or Titan infrared-light laser skin-tightening sessions. Licensed aestheticians tone facial features with micronized-current LumiLift treatments, and massage therapists loosen muscles with deep-tissue or trigger point therapy massages. To enhance internal well-being, however, guests turn to reiki master Dawn Anderson or certified hypnotherapist Victoria Torres, for help overcoming anxiety or quitting bad habits.

The spa's interior promotes a sense of relaxation. A full-length mural depicts a tranquil, rock-lined seascape with pink flowers and verdant plants, and the other walls are bathed in calming sea-green and maroon tones.
