Shoreline Living, Skin-Smart Care
Old Greenwich is one of the shoreline sections of the Town of Greenwich, known by its own 06870 zip code. Originally called Sound Beach, the village took the name Old Greenwich in 1931, and it still centers on the shops and cafes of Sound Beach Avenue, the paths around Binney Park and the beaches, trails and open water of Greenwich Point Park.
Life this close to Long Island Sound brings two common aesthetic priorities: smooth, low-maintenance skin for swim and sailing season, and repair of sun damage that builds up over years of summers outdoors. Our Westport med spa has helped patients address both for more than 19 years, with every treatment plan directed by Dr. Dana Brownell, MD, a board-certified physician who focuses exclusively on aesthetic medicine.
Laser Hair Removal for Old Greenwich Patients
For anyone who spends summer weekends at Greenwich Point, laser hair removal replaces the cycle of shaving, waxing and razor bumps with long-term hair reduction.
How It Works
Laser energy targets the pigment in active hair follicles, heating them enough to slow future growth while leaving the surrounding skin intact. Because hair grows in cycles, most patients need a series of about six to eight sessions spaced several weeks apart, with occasional maintenance afterward.
Popular Treatment Areas
- Legs and bikini line
- Underarms
- Upper lip, chin and face
- Back and chest
Why Timing Matters on the Shoreline
Laser hair removal works best on skin that is not freshly tanned, and treated areas should be protected from strong sun between sessions. Many Old Greenwich patients start in fall or winter so their series is complete before Memorial Day crowds return to the beach.
Repairing Sun Damage From Years by the Water
Sun exposure on the Sound adds up, and reflected light off the water intensifies it. These skin and laser treatments are commonly chosen for brown spots, uneven tone and texture:
For sun damage, fine lines and acne scars.
For gentle maintenance with minimal downtime.
For redness, pores and overall tone.
For persistent flushing and visible vessels.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Med Spa Near Old Greenwich, CT
Where is the closest physician-led med spa to Old Greenwich, CT?
Our med spa at 32 Imperial Avenue in Westport is directed by board-certified physician Dr. Dana Brownell. It is about 25 to 35 minutes from Old Greenwich by I-95 North.
How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?
Most patients need about six to eight sessions spaced several weeks apart, because lasers only affect hairs in the active growth phase. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed afterward.
When should I start laser hair removal before summer?
Fall or winter is ideal. Starting several months ahead gives you time to complete most of your series before beach season, and untanned skin responds more safely to treatment.
Can I go to the beach during laser hair removal treatment?
Yes, but protect treated areas with broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoid tanning between sessions. Sun-tanned skin can increase the risk of irritation or pigment changes.
What treatments help with sun damage from living on the shoreline?
Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant and Laser Genesis are common choices for brown spots, uneven tone and texture. A consultation helps determine which fits your skin type and schedule.
Is Old Greenwich part of Greenwich?
Yes. Old Greenwich is a village within the Town of Greenwich with its own 06870 zip code. It was known as Sound Beach until 1931.
