Nurse Jamie opened Beauty Park with the notion that you should leave the med spa looking like you, just better. Using the SopranoXL laser, the experts at Beauty Park go over the area you desire as the laser destroys the cells responsible for re-growth. The typical hair growth cycle is every six to eight weeks and Beauty Park recommends laser treatments to coincide and be scheduled accordingly. Located on Santa Monica's chi-chi Montana Avenue, Beauty Park's laser treatments will be your ticket to smooth skin for many summers to come.
