In a profile for Plastic Surgery Practice's 2011 Top Docs feature, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Christian Drehsen described how a person's entire facial expression, rather than just sagging cheeks or crow's-feet, is the object of his practice at Venus Clinique Spa by Clinique of Plastic Surgery. This comprehensive approach reflects his mastery of artistic composition, as well as his extensive experience, which is capped by more than two decades of sculpting the denizens of the Tampa Bay area, including mermaids built in sand. After thorough immersion in all fields of plastic surgery at the University of Louisville, Kentucky, he sought out specialized studies in hand surgery and microsurgery and developed a deft touch with children and burn victims during his residency at Morton Children's Hospital in Louisville. His steady hand is constantly innovating ways to harmonize features. He reimagined the face-lift to replicate the firm cheeks and stifling ennui of someone in their mid-twenties and repurposed clients' fat cells as catalysts for their own rejuvenation. Computer imaging helps his patients to see and evaluate what he envisions and then collaborate in the creative process. His practice has grown to three locations, two of which offer non-surgical aging solutions. There, medical aestheticians lavish complexions in carefully engineered Obagi and SkinMedica products while a nurse practitioner injects wrinkles and sagging cheeks with seven kinds of FDA approved dermal fillers and volumizers. Lasers work overtime at the spa, smoothing cellulite, routing unwanted hair and veins, and promoting even skin all over the body.

The trained technicians at Radiant Skin Laser Center use lasers and intense pulsed light to target a wide variety of cosmetic maladies, including wrinkles, spider veins, acne, and unwanted body hair. To work toward client comfort, they harness a Palomar StarLux 500 laser and other gear during noninvasive treatments that result in little to no downtime and skin as clear as a computer-generated night sky.

As a second-generation chiropractic physician with more than 35 years of experience, Dr. Kyle Remmel helms a team of specialists to mend bodies inside and out through an array of physical therapy, anti-aging, weight loss, and massage services. The staff works together to scout out each patient's route to wellness and take a whole-body approach when outlining treatment methods in order to solve problems at their source. For exterior enhancement, a slate of more than 10 facials harness serums from Glo Therapeutics and Nardo's Natural to target acne, aging, and permanent leopard spots left by mischievous carnival face painters. Remmel Wellness Center also hosts free health and wellness expos, workshops, lectures, and health screenings in order to help those struggling to afford regular checkups.
