Beauty & Spas in Willow Grove

Dr. Bruce Richman, who boasts more than 20 years of medical experience, approaches each patient's cosmetic needs with a technical as well as artistic eye. Before rejuvenating visitors' corporeal shells, MedEstics's specialists seek to educate prospective clients by hosting fact-based consultations, which can explain the treatments, the equipment, and the major differences between humans and mannequins. The center brims with modern med-spa technology, including crystal-free microdermabrasion devices and a ClearScan laser system designed to zap unwanted stubble.

The noninvasive and minimally invasive body-contouring procedures that Dr. Victor Otero and Dr. Thomas E. Young perform don't only grant patients slimmer physiques—they also win awards. Dr. Young recently won Best Overall Body Make-Over at THE Aesthetic Awards for his use of Zerona, Body Jet, SlimLipo, and VelaShape to resculpt one lucky patient's entire body. Young Medical Spa’s other physicians and technicians share the doctor's passion for noninvasive treatments: they harness laser technology to reduce cellulite, remove unwanted hairs, and mend other aesthetic issues. Other medical treatments, such as Botox Cosmetic and stem-cell facelifts, work to help patients regain youthful complexions. Despite its medical focus, the center keeps its facility feeling less than clinical by incorporating soothing spa elements, including a living-room-like waiting area and relaxing music, into every treatment.

At Iris Nail & Spa, you can keep your exact number of toes a secret—patrons can opt for nail services in private pedicure rooms or the main salon. Nail technicians’ handiwork ranges from traditional manicures and pedicures to treatments that incorporate luxurious extras, such as Elizabeth Arden products, herbal exfoliation, and green tea antioxidants. Their facials, meanwhile, take a preventative approach to skincare more effective and less bulky than wearing a hockey mask; they perform feats that range from non-surgically lifting faces with collagen to minimizing fine lines with anti-aging ingredients. Alternatively, staffers can relieve muscle tension with massages, or wax away unwanted stubble.

Nails aren't the only things that pop with color at Cuticle Corner Nail & Spa. Spring-green walls greet patrons the moment they step inside, providing a fresh backdrop for floral bouquets, red-and-white gingham cushions, and row upon rainbow-hued row of neatly arranged polishes. As clients recline on plush pedicure thrones, nail technicians give their undivided attention to toenails and use hot stones to soothe aching feet. Fingers receive their own royal treatment at immaculately clean manicure stations and leave ready to show off their new colorful nails by shaking hands or playing peek-a-boo with everyone they meet.

Registered nurse Kathleen DeSimone and Inject Beauty’s talented team of medical professionals use nonsurgical procedures to enhance the natural beauty of patients. Armed with certified training in procedures such as Botox and dermal fillers, they work to make faces feel smoother than a pirate’s fanciest glass eye. Eyebrows, eyelashes, and lip lines can be adorned with permanent makeup, spider veins are reduced to mere memory with sclerotherapy treatments, and mesotherapy or Lipodissolve injections target fatty areas. They also eliminate excess hair with beams from a Cutera Xeo CoolGlide laser machine.

Styledelphia owner Jessica Saint is a former model and modeling director who doles out a wealth of fashion-industry insight accrued during 10 years in the business. Now, along with a team of instructors and photographers, Jessica leads classes that show how hair, makeup, and wardrobe can mesh with one’s personal interests, career goals, and affinity for jumping out of moving cars. More niche classroom sessions, such as body-painting, vintage-hairstyling, and stage-makeup workshops, round out a creative-minded curriculum. Styledelphia’s expertise in retro styles adds realness to the studio’s boudoir-photography branch, which takes clients to shoot photos at old-timey locales such as Darling’s Diner and the hospital room where the Liberty Bell was born.
