After two tough years, featuring several starts and stops, we are ready to recharge and revitalize in 2022.

Leading the charge is Skin Care Solutions Elite MediSpa with a menu of noninvasive facial and body rejuvenation treatments that will not only help you look your best, but, just as importantly, feel your best.

As a medical spa—with offices in Medina, Green and Wooster—SCS Elite MediSpa provides more advanced skincare you can’t get at a regular salon and spa. Here, three physicians work in tandem with aestheticians who are well versed in medical-grade facials, chemical peels and exfoliating treatments, such as microdermabrasion and dermaplaning.

“This is the perfect time for renewal and to refocus on self-care,” says Brittany Ballachino, a licensed aesthetician at the MediSpa in Medina. “As a medical spa, we are a place where you can come and relax and feel pampered, but we use medical-grade products to get the best results.”

“The doctors and aestheticians at our MediSpa work together to come up with the best approach to give clients their desired results,” says Brittany, who graduated from Medina High School and Brown Aveda Institute and is now working in her hometown. “We have facials that are more corrective and penetrate into the lower levels of your skin to actually change your cellular structure and get real results.”

Non-Peeling Peel
The newest skin care treatment on the menu is the PRX-T33, which is a non-peeling peel. It still has chemical properties, but it bypasses the epidermis and goes right into the dermis, so your top layer of skin does not peel. It rebuilds collagen and strengthens and tightens the skin from within.

“This is the perfect treatment to kickstart 2022,” says Sofie Burns, an aesthetician in the Green office who worked at the world-renowned Hilton Head Health wellness center in South Carolina before moving back to her hometown four years ago. “It helps reset the skin and get it prepped and ready for the year.”

“This Italian formulated treatment also is ideal for those with deeper wrinkles, as it penetrates into deeper crevices to stimulate collagen,” adds Brittany, who worked at the Cleveland Clinic providing medical aesthetics in pre-op, post-op and wound care before joining the MediSpa.

Perfect Derma Peel
The Perfect Derma Peel is one of the MediSpa’s most requested skin care treatments during the winter months, as it sloughs off dead, dry skin and can be used to treat acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles.

As a medical spa—with offices in Medina, Green and Wooster—SCS Elite MediSpa provides more advanced skincare you can’t get at a regular salon and spa. At SCS, three physicians work in tandem with aestheticians (Sofie Burns, pictured above) who are well versed in medical-grade facials, chemical peels and exfoliating treatments, such as microdermabrasion and dermaplaning.

Heralded as one of the top new anti-aging treatments, this peel uses glutathione, an antioxidant with powerful skin lightening and anti-aging benefits, as well as other acids and vitamin C. It works by removing the outer, dead layers of skin to allow new, healthier skin cells to grow and flourish.

“We are result-driven, so we focus on each patient’s skin concerns,” says Sofie. “Skin rejuvenation doesn’t happen overnight, so we educate clients about all the different treatments and products and help set them up for success. We are very honest with clients and create treatment plans with reasonable expectations.”

From Head to Toe
In addition to facials, the MediSpa offers a host of other rejuvenation services.

As skilled master injectors, Dr. Dana Bonezzi, Dr. Debra Fast and Dr. Kathleen Fearon offer an arsenal of techniques to replace lost volume in the face or lips.

More than just getting rid of the “elevens” between your eyes and “parentheses” around your mouth, there is an art to using injectables and fillers. At SCS Elite MediSpa, the medical professionals combine female artistry and advanced techniques for the best results.

The MediSpa also offers body rejuvenation, including CoolSculpting body contouring and laser hair removal, as well as hormone pellet therapy.

“Now is time to get back to a sense of community,” says Brittany. “Though our focus here is on skin care, it is also important to have a connection with one another. All of us here, our doctors and aestheticians, value the relationships we build and the friendships we develop with our patients.”
