Suite Six carries the medical-grade product line SkinCeuticals, and Varoudakis stresses that sunscreen alone is not enough.

At Shaun Rogers Studios in Lynnfield, owner Shaun Spanos, a registered nurse and aesthetician, enjoys creating customized treatment plans; he believes that a "combina- tion of skincare treatments and injectables yields the best individual results." Spanos and his staff work ahead of the treatment time to "manage goals and outcomes." For new clients, Spanos is a fan of the rejuvenating HydraFacial for its many benefits, including glowing results that are perfect for summer. Other skincare services include dermaplaning and microdermabrasion, "procedures that are results-driven but also manageable in terms of client recovery time," according to Spanos. Spanos's philosophy is to work on a case- by-case basis, taking into consideration the goals of each individual and making recom- mendations about how best to achieve them, in addition to suggesting services or methods the client may not have previously considered.
