Virginia Beach

Such famous landmarks attract many people, including those that want to stay in the sun, but also look their best, young and fit. The fastest way to do that, are the so-called “lunch time” treatments like chemical peels or microdermabrasions. These take little time and smooth the skin, making it look younger and healthier. But, for deeper problems, those willing to take the risks have modern laser procedures at their disposal.

This area, known as "America's First Region", including the independent cities of Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Suffolk has no shortage of specialists to indicate you the best course of treatment because darker skinned people might have side effects from ablative laser resurfacings, like scars or burns. But, if you can undergo the treatment, your skin will be practically re-grown into a smoother and tighter surface.

And since you are at the seaside, take your family to visit the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science and see sand tiger, nurse and brown sharks or sting. The sea turtles have their own aquarium and hatchling laboratory, but don’t miss the jellyfish and octopus aquariums, and even a life-size model of a humpback whale.

Like that, your loved ones won’t be upset on you leaving them for a session of non-ablative laser rejuvenation, a new technique that employs lasers that go directly to the deep layers of the skin and start their work at the source of the problem. Wrinkles, brown spots, large veins or pores will disappear like magic due to the increased collagen production stimulated by the laser’s heat.

And after obtaining a 10 years younger look, don’t ignore the historical sites in Virgina Beach, like the Adam Thoroughgood House, the Francis Land House (a 200-year-old plantation) or the Cape Henry Lights.
