If your New Year's resolution is to start the new year with a new look, Rejuvenate MedSpa in downtown Mount Vernon can help, owner Stephanie Strausbaugh told the Mount Vernon News.
It's not like any other spa in town, she said.
"We are a medical spa," said Strausbaugh, a licensed nurse practitioner. "We are doing treatments that are actually approved by the Food and Drug Administration that will actually improve and correct facial imperfections."
Those include wrinkles, thin lips and even acne scars from adolescence.
"We are a regular medical office, and we have to abide by all those laws and regulations," she said.
It is also the only spa in the area to offer "vampire" procedures.
"Those are microneedling procedures that use a patient's own blood," Strausbaugh said. "We do a blood draw, and I inject the platelets from the blood back into the face to stimulate the person's growth hormones. We see significant changes in the overall surface of the face, reducing scarring, and we also do it for hair re-growth."
The procedure can done on the scalps of male or female customers who have thinning hair, said Strausbaugh.
"We see significant regrowth of hair," she said.
Customers are thrilled and energized by the improvements.
"It makes you feel so much better to be able to look in the mirror and not be wrinkly," she said. "Once you've done it and you can see what an easy procedure it is, customers just feel better. That's the whole point. It gives them that boost of self-confidence again. It takes some years off. They look in the mirror and just feel good about themselves."
Customers can make appointments online for a consultation.
A typical question after the services have been explained is, "Do you have time to do it right now?" Strausbaugh said.
The answer is usually yes.
"I try to set my time to allow for anything that they may want to move forward with right away," she said.
