At Smile & Skin Aesthetics, a talented staff boosts patients' self-esteem with a host of dental and skincare services. According to Damian D. Meola, DMD, a second-generation dentist with more than 20 years of experience, "there is a synergy between the smile, the skin and a sense of confidence that having both in great shape brings." He tackles the dental side of services with specialties including smile makeovers, full mouth reconstruction, and successful mediations with tooth fairies. Board-certified aesthetician Stacey Powell, alternatively, enhances the skin with nonsurgical treatments such as facials, microdermabrasion, and waxing services.

The practitioners at Skin to Soul create a welcoming sanctuary where their guests are free to improve their bodies and spirits in any way they wish, whether it's through meditation, yoga, energy healing, or ache-erasing massage. In a room the color of toasted marshmallows, licensed massage therapists undo bodily tension through Swedish, deep-tissue, and myofascial-release techniques, while the spring-hued green room inspires students of yoga and Pilates to expand their physical abilities and center their minds. The spa’s classes and events encompass multiple healing modalities, including Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction programs and Playshops, which cast off the work aspect of workshops to cover such topics as chakras, feng shui, and self-hypnosis and give clients a psychological edge on their mirror-dwelling doppelgängers.

With more than 11,000 successful LASIK and refractive procedures performed to date, Dr. Nilesh M. Sheth continues to practice his vision-boosting craft with well-honed expertise. Famous public figures have restored their sight under his steady hand, including Law & Order actor John Fiore, U.S. Senator Scott Brown, and Boston Celtics superstar and two-time elementary-school class president Jo Jo White. Together with TPA-certified optometrist Dr. Audra Rowse, Dr. Sheth honors the Sheth-Horsley Eye Center’s half century of high-quality eye care with treatments ranging from senior eye care to cosmetic procedures to repair droopy eyes and wrinkles and corrective surgeries to sharpen vision without the need for glasses or contacts. The good doctors are aided in their fight against astigmatism, cataracts, nearsightedness, and farsightedness by an arsenal of high-tech tools including excimer lasers, microkeratome blades, femtosecond lasers, premium IOLs, Alcon toric IOLs, and STAAR ICLs.

The dentists at Seaport Dental Associates keep patients relaxed and comfortable, using the latest technology and cultivating a calming office environment replete with an elegant rock garden and bamboo plants. Patients can watch television during their visit, which might include a treatment with the innovative Waterlase device—a noise- and vibration-free hydrokinetic system that removes hard and soft tissue with laser-powered water droplets, making cavity-removal and gum procedures virtually painless.

The orthodontics-focused practice also specializes in Invisalign treatments, providing an average of 560 patients each year with the clear, smile-straightening aligners. They also perform quick and convenient teeth-whitening sessions to brighten the smiles of bridal parties or teams of competitive blueberry-pie eaters.

Dappled light plays over the sleek 3,500-square-foot fitness studio, illuminating cardio and weight machines as guests toil alongside their attentive trainers. Verdant foliage sways in the breeze just outside the floor-to-ceiling windows that ring around the gym. Patrons torch calories and chisel physiques on new equipment, and a variety of classes, massage services, and dietary counseling keeps members relaxed and healthy in and out of the gym. Groups can also mosey outdoors for one-hour group fitness classes that tone muscles under the lush canopy of tree cover shading the deck. Pilates and yoga strengthen and lengthen muscles, and Zumba and Power Dance classes liquidate loitering fat reserves with high-energy cardio workouts set to lively soundtracks.

Weight & Body Solutions' experienced physicians employ technologically enhanced weight-reduction techniques and more traditional nutrition-based programs to help clients melt away unwanted fat and reveal svelte silhouettes. Patients relax in the comfortable atmosphere of a private room as they discuss their beauty goals with informed counselors, asking questions about their various treatment options, which include weekly plans enhanced with thorough exams and energizing vitamin shots along with medical treatments such as tumescent liposuction. Liposuction is done under local anesthesia using a small cannula and requires very little downtime, sending patients back to work within 24 to 48 hours⎯just in time to sport sleek silhouettes for _Risky Business_–themed casual Fridays.
