Beauty & Spas in University Park

In a newly renovated space with tile floors and rounded white pillars, Frenchy's Nails' technicians meticulously groom hands and feet. Patrons can choose from scores of nail-polish bottles arranged by color, as they tune into the salon's quartet of plasma televisions.

Pamper Me Spa Lounge's skilled massage therapists and nail technicians put minds and muscles at ease in a calm, quiet atmosphere. Swedish, aromatherapy, and sports massages utilize a combination of lighter and deeper kneads to help increase circulation and put edgy skeletons at ease. Manicures and pedicures include massages of the arms and legs in addition to tidying tips with standard nail lacquer or long-wearing CND Shellac.

Led by Oscar Molina MD and medical assistant Erika Barrientos, the team at Ave Cosmetic Laser Clinic removes moles, skin tags, scars, and other unwanted incursions from patients’ physiques. Blemishes and unwelcome hairs disappear from all skin types as VascuTouch technology works in tandem with the Candela GentleYAG laser system, which has a patented cryogen cooling system that boosts comfort and chills skin more efficiently than a poem by Edgar Allan Poe. In addition to its eponymous laser services, the clinic's staff also performs facials, weight-loss treatments, and massages.

The staff at K6 Wellness Center offers a variety of health and beauty services, along with a specially formulated K6 skincare line, while taking a natural approach to overall wellness. Tense muscles unwind with massages available in modalities such as Swedish and reflexology, the latter of which is designed to loosen knots like a kitten left alone with a loom. The center also offers naturopathic services and consultations that assist visitors in treating health conditions such as migraines. Detoxification treatments wring toxins and chili con queso out of the body, and weight loss treatments are performed with natural methods such as aromatherapy and cold-stone therapy. Spa services such as skin-smoothing facials are customized to treat each client's skin type, and gentle face and body-waxing services whisk away unwanted hair.

After earning the Dean’s Scholarship at the University of Texas Medical School, Joel Potasznik, M.D., joined forces with a team of certified laser technicians to aid clients with tattoo removal and other laser services. A powerful YAG laser breaks up subsurface ink during tattoo-removal sessions, and technicians also harness beams to perform scar reduction, toenail-fungus reduction, and age-spot and pigmentation removal. The techs can aim laser light at spider veins and stretch marks, minimizing their appearance more effectively than a DIY shrink ray made from a saran-wrapped flashlight.

At Universal Body Image and Laser Center, a collection of state-of-the-art lasers streamlines aesthetic procedures while minimizing treatment downtime. Two types of lasers dispense noninvasive laser liposuction: the i-Lipo and LED Lipo-Light therapy, both of which shrink fat cells by causing them to degrade and release their contents. Though on-staff aestheticians also use lasers for LED facials, most skincare treatments apply natural Oxygen Botanicals products to erase acne, signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, and the environmental damage that comes from living in the city or a van with Pig-Pen.
