Featured Treatments

Daxxify

Daxxify® is a peptide-based wrinkle relaxer that delivers smooth natural results, with a longer window between appointments. If you love Botox® but wish the results lasted a bit longer, Daxxify is worth exploring. Our providers will help you figure out which one makes sense for your personalized treatment plan.

Laser Hair Removal

There’s a reason laser hair removal is one of the most requested treatments at BodyLase. It works, and it lasts. Additionally, every treatment plan comes with a lifetime guarantee—so you’ll never have to pick up a razor again.

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting® freezes localized fat cells beneath the skin—targeting the stubborn pockets that tend to stick around even with diet and lifestyle changes. At BodyLase, we use CoolSculpting Elite; which treats larger areas faster with 2 applicators working simultaneously. It’s become a go-to for Triangle clients who want measurable reduction without surgery or downtime. Contact us today to learn more about CoolSculpting treatments in Raleigh.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is one of those treatments that delivers immediate, visible results—smoother texture, brighter tone, and a cleaner surface for everything that follows. Our aestheticians ensure that each session ends with your skin supple, youthful, and ready to receive skincare or your next treatment.

Please Note: Dermaplaning is an add-on treatment to enhance the results and experience of other treatments and not performed stand-alone.

PGDF

Platelet-derived growth factor therapy is a targeted healing accelerant used alongside procedures like microneedling, RF microneedling, and laser resurfacing to deepen and extend your results. Applied at the time of treatment, PDGF works with your body’s own repair process to stimulate collagen production and improve skin quality at a cellular level, picking up where the procedure leaves off.
