 When we take care of our bodies, we nurture our souls. There are many ways to go about this, and each one affects us in a holistic way. Releasing muscle tension through a healing massage makes our entire self relax, and when our shoulders drop, our faces start to loosen up and glow. When we look into a mirror and the face that smiles back looks as young as we feel, we are empowered, ready and able to take on the challenges and create the opportunities we crave. Luckily for us, there’s an amazing lineup of talented medical practitioners and aestheticians nearby to help us transform ourselves and transcend perceived limitations. Spa Central Station
Close to Home Stepping into the recently opened Noble Salon in Stamford is like gliding into a serene oasis, with its soft lighting, modern furniture and dark wood floors.

If you’ve been eager to try a new look but don’t know whom to trust, Noble is the perfect place to take that leap of faith.

Prepare to work out in a revolutionary, highly effective way — with biokinetic precision, at Studio Uma, with locations in Greenwich and Manhattan. The biokinetic system is a fusion of Western biomechanical principles, martial arts, weight-training, dance and yoga. Workouts are done on handcrafted biokinetic exercise equipment that was designed to prevent and reduce injuries while utilizing gradual resistance through a full range of motion and rotary friction mechanisms. Biokinetics has been a growing trend over the past twelve years, with athletes and fitness enthusiasts experiencing unparalleled success using the system to sculpt their bodies while avoiding injuries and stress-induced chronic conditions. Biokinetics is also a great rehabilitation tool, as the equipment’s design fits the individual user. When you have intimate medical problems, you need a medical center you can trust. That’s why women have been choosing Urogynecology and Pelvic Surgery for years. With comfortable, private offices in Stamford and Trumbull, the center specializes in elective and restorative vaginal surgery, treatment of urinary incontinence and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Utilizing the most sophisticated technology, the professional team will create a personalized treatment plan for you. Overseeing the entire program is medical director Dr. Brian Hines. A graduate of MIT and Boston University’s School of Medicine, he did a residency in gynecology at New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital and a fellowship training in reconstructive pelvic surgery at NYU. Dr. Hines is an assistant professor at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. As laser technology gets better, more comfortable and affordable, waxing, shaving, and electrolysis are becoming things of the past. At The Vein Therapy and Laser Center of Fairfield County, in Norwalk, men and women enjoy safe and simple hair removal as well as the treatment of varicose and spider veins. While everyone is a candidate for hair removal, people with lighter skin and darker hair tend to have better results. Lasers have come a long way in the past decade. Today, treatment usually feels like a mild pinching or stinging sensation, thanks to the laser’s built-in cooling tip that protects skin and minimizes discomfort. Because hair has three growth stages and not all hairs are on the same cycle, clients usually require six treatments to fully cover a given area.
