Summit County's wellness businesses respond with everything from massage and facials to body treatments and advanced skin care, allowing a visit to focus on relaxation, aesthetics or both. Best of Summit readers can choose among intimate studios, medical aesthetics practices and full-service resort experiences when it is time to recharge.

Believe Skin Health and Laser Studio

Believe Skin Health and Laser Studio has served Frisco and Summit County since licensed medical aesthetician Audrey Benecke founded the business in 2009. Its approach specifically addresses skin concerns associated with the area's dry climate and high elevation, including dehydration and sun damage. Customized facials share the menu with dermaplaning, microdermabrasion and chemical peels. Believe also offers microneedling and treatments such as Clear + Brilliant, IPL and radio-frequency skin tightening, along with laser hair removal. The studio emphasizes corrective and preventive care, using consultations to help determine which treatments fit a client's skin concerns and goals.

BOLD N' Bitchin' Medical Spa

BOLD N' Bitchin' Medical Spa takes a results-oriented approach to aesthetics while tailoring treatment plans to individual clients.
