In French, Belle Visage means ‘beautiful face.?
However, the Clarkston treasure is more than just a place where patrons step out looking fresh and radiant ? Belle Visage is an oasis of relaxation.
‘You walk through the door, there’s a waterfall and a pond, bistro tables and chairs. You feel like you have literally stepped out of Clarkston, Michigan into a whole other world,? said Nancy Ramos, an owner of Belle Visage, the first laser med spa to grace Oakland County. ‘Not everybody can run and take a vacation, but you can certainly come into Belle Visage for three hours and feel like you have.?
Having recently gained popularity on the east and west coasts a laser med spa offers all the cleansing and therapeutic products and massage techniques of a day spa, melding them with a bevy of non-evasive procedures to rejuvenate people’s skin and bodies.
‘We are all changing what we are putting in our bodies. We are very health conscious about our food. We are working out. We’re all trying to live longer. People want to look younger too. I can reduce the signs of aging,? said Ramos.
The list of safe, effective medical treatments Belle Visage provides includes laser hair removal, wrinkle reduction, brown spots removal, rosacea treatments, acne treatments and spider vein treatments as well as medical microdermabrasion, facial peels, botox and restylane, and more. They also offer a professional skin care and make-up line.
‘People are too busy to take time off to get things done, like a facelift. Being that our procedures are non-evasive, they can go right back to work. There is no taking a week off and hiding under dark glasses,? said Ramos.
Aside from providing the inspiration and spirit to Belle Visage, Ramos also serves as the laser coordinator. She is accompanied by her partner and Medical Director Dr. Thomas Wright and Plastic Surgery Consultant Dr. Kimberly Pummill.
Her full staff includes: aestheticians, laser techs, massage therapists, airbrush tanning specialist and a makeup artist.
But the medical side of Belle Visage is only half of their one of kind experience. From facials, massages, a vichy shower and relaxing body treatments to indulgent body wraps and various detoxifying treatments painted onto the skin, the pampering available is second to none. Belle Visage even features a double body treatment room for couples or mothers and daughters.
‘There isn’t any place like us anywhere around,? said Ramos. ‘With the vichy shower, the client lays on the table and receives a full body scrub. After that, the technician uses high pressured water to administer a full body massage. While this is taking place, the warm water pools around the client, evaporating to create a warm, comfortable atmosphere. The experience concludes with a moisturizing massage. It’s very therapeutic, very good for athletes.?
One thing Ramos is trying to combat is some misconceptions about spa’s and laser treatments.
‘Women, for example, may have facial hair and they’re saying to themselves ‘I don’t want this here, but I can’t afford to have it permanently removed.? They absolutely can, we are extremely affordable. We take all kinds of payment plans ? they can manage their payments or they can even pay per treatment,? said Ramos.
Another unique feature of Belle Visage is the wide array of party themes and events which can be held in the comfortable bistro complete with coffee, tea and juice bar. The spa caters to brides, couples or anyone looking to escape for a day. Whether an individual retreat or a lunch time bridal party celebration, the spa can accommodate the client’s needs.
Belle Visage is located in the shopping center at 6507 Town Cener south of I-75 off Sashabaw Road behind Carribou Coffee. Call 248-625-3525 for a free consultation today.
