Southern Laser Medical Spa - The Lake Country’s Original Med Spa
Southern Laser Medical Spa has been a trusted name in the Lake Oconee area since 1998, and they just made an already impressive menu even better. Two new additions are worth knowing about. The Trifecta Red Light Therapy Bed delivers a full-body session in just 12 minutes, a medical-grade treatment backed by decades of research that supports skin rejuvenation, reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and better sleep, with zero downtime.
And their new Body Scrubs & Wraps menu featuring Farmhouse Fresh Organics is pure indulgence, from the CBD Watermelonaid Wrap to the Southern Sweetness Scrub — each one a legitimate escape without the resort price tag.
