603 LIVING HEALTH<br />

including the abdomen, arms, and inner<br />

thighs as well as the chin, love handle and<br />

bra-bulge areas.<br />

VelaShape uses infrared light and radiofrequency<br />

to improve tone and contour,<br />

and results in reduced circumference and a<br />

smoother appearance. It is especially effective,<br />

Hurd says, in areas that have cellulite, but cellulite<br />

or no, Hurd says it can be used to shrink<br />

the arms, abdomen, legs and chin area.<br />

• Lasers, lasers and more lasers: Got too<br />

much hair? Laser treatments can zap it away.<br />

Thinning hair? A different kind of laser<br />

The early bird avoids the wrinkle<br />

The core customer base at medspas is typically middle-aged folks who<br />

are trying to regain a more youthful look, but, increasingly, younger<br />

people are signing up for medspa treatments to prevent signs of aging<br />

before they occur. “We’re starting at a much younger age,” says Ericka<br />

McCarron, RN, owner of About Face Medical Aesthetics in Stratham.<br />

“I’d say about five to 10 years ago, the average [starting] age probably<br />

would have been 45. Now I’d say it’s 32 to 35 — and that’s average.”<br />

Some come in as early as their mid-20s, McCarron says, “getting very<br />

small amounts of product in certain places to help prevent those signs<br />

of aging. So rather than letting those things start and kind of become<br />

ingrained in the face, they prevent them.”<br />

It’s not just for women<br />

can stimulate your follicles. Regretting an<br />

ill-considered tattoo? Lasers can help fade<br />

even some multicolored designs. Not only<br />

that, lasers can take years off your face by<br />

smoothing wrinkles, erasing age spots, and<br />

tightening skin. NH<br />

Many medspa websites provide details<br />

regarding the specific treatments they offer.<br />

Women make up the majority of medspa clientele, but, these days, the<br />

number of men who frequent medspas is on the rise. Many men are<br />

interested in procedures for hair growth or hair removal, but some also<br />

try body contouring, Botox and other procedures, says Katie Hurd, RN,<br />

assistant manager and esthetician at Ariya Aesthetics in Bedford.<br />

Interestingly, the men don’t always arrive alone. A growing number<br />

of couples are booking appointments at medspas together, says Ericka<br />

McCarron, RN, owner of About Face Medical Aesthetics in Stratham.<br />

Husbands and wives “come in to get their Botox together,” she says.<br />

“It’s almost a bonding experience. We’re seeing it more and more.”<br />
