We all have unwanted hair on our bodies. And it doesn’t take long until the shaving, waxing, threading, sugaring, and tweezing gets really old.

It is definitely a hairy world out there, but the medspa at Southern Surgical Arts can help you do something about it!

It’s that time of year again…time to find exactly the right gift for everyone on your list, while simultaneously getting the house decorated, chauffeuring the kids to Christmas pageant rehearsal, house cleaning, potlucking, gift wrapping, don’t forget office partying (and, of course, working)—in other words, “in your spare time.”

One of the most popular procedures in our medspa is the chemical peel—and for good reason. These treatments pack a powerful punch at a price tag that will fit just about anyone’s budget. By effectively removing old, dead skin cells and increasing new cellular production, a brighter, more youthful epidermis is revealed.
