Summary
StarSpa Uptown occupies a remodeled historic building in Uptown, Minneapolis, at 2909 Bryant Avenue South, Suite 201. The business states it has 25 years of industry experience and describes itself as an expert in anti-aging and med spa services. Appointments can be requested by text at 612.627.9999 or by email at star@starspauptown.com.
The menu leans on light and energy-based care. VERSA Intense Pulsed Light sessions are offered for acne, with a recommended series of 8 weekly treatments followed by touch-ups, and sessions last 15 to 20 minutes. Sciton IPL photofacials address rosacea, and IPL 515 photofacials target sun damage, age spots and hyperpigmentation. Lumecca photofacials are an IPL system the business describes as suited to both light and dark skin. Skin Classic uses high-frequency technology to work only on the outer layer of skin, for sun spots, small capillaries, skin tags and blackheads. Other options include chemical peels, microneedling, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, cryotherapy for benign lesions such as warts and skin tags, and mole removal.
Facials are listed as Express (20 minutes, $99), Full (45 minutes, $150, or $175 with microneedling), and themed options for anti-aging, cleansing acne, bright and light, sensitive and O2 treatments. A neck add-on costs $25. Waxing covers lip, chin, cheek, neck and other areas where laser hair removal is not wanted, using Cirepil Blue Wax and Cirepil Greenepil. Nufree is offered as a non-wax hair removal option. Body services include Zerona non-invasive laser contouring, Body FX, and Forma Plus skin tightening for the body, along with Venus Freeze and Venus Viva.
The space is private, with concierge-style service. A Star Bar serves healthy beverages and snacks, and a VIP program offers extended hours, personalized scheduling, discounted pricing and a dedicated appointment line. Cancellations need a phone call at least 24 hours ahead, and shorter notice is subject to a fee. Payment is due when services are rendered, and all sales are final. Insurance usually does not cover phototherapy or Zerona treatments, which are considered elective. Cryo Pen treatment requires clients to be 18 or older.
The business describes its medical-grade products and services as FDA approved, and its Functional Medicine service builds a custom plan for each client from assessment tools.
