In the heart of Hershey, a unique medical spa named Spruce is making waves in the aesthetics industry. Founded by a dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of experience, Spruce stands out for its blend of medical expertise, artistry, and a laid-back, approachable vibe.

The founder of Spruce, Lauren Rengen, who holds a master’s degree in nursing, has a rich background in various medical settings, from primary to urgent care. Her journey into aesthetics began in 2022, driven by a desire to combine hands-on procedural work with education. This passion for aesthetics was fueled by a belief in a conservative, "less is more" approach, which often contrasts with the sales-driven practices of some medical spas. Lauren’s vision was to create a space where clients could trust their providers, feel comfortable asking questions, and know that every treatment had a purpose.

Spruce offers a wide range of services designed to enhance natural beauty and promote skin health. These include Botox, Dermal Fillers, Sculptra, Vitamin shots and IV drips, Laser skin rejuvenation, Laser hair removal, Laser tattoo removal, hydra facials, chemical peels, microneedling, PRF undereye treatments, and Face Reality Acne treatments. Each service is delivered with a focus on safety, conservatism, and natural results.

What sets Spruce apart in the increasingly saturated medical spa industry is its commitment to a zero-pressure environment. With a combined experience of over 65 years, the team at Spruce ensures that clients never feel rushed or pressured. The founder's philosophy is that some aspects of aging should be embraced, and faces should move naturally. This approach has resonated with clients, who appreciate the blend of medical expertise and artistry.

Spruce is not just a business; it's a part of the community. The spa regularly hosts "pop-up" events and partners with local female business owners to support women in business. They also collect donations for local women's shelters, demonstrating a commitment to giving back to the community.

Starting a business is never easy, and the founder of Spruce, Lauren, faced significant challenges, including launching the venture as a single 48-year-old mom. However, with determination and hard work, the business has grown rapidly. In just one year, Spruce added four employees, three additional treatment rooms, over 25 additional services, and more than 100 products. The spa was also named Harrisburg Magazine's "Simply the Best" 2025 Aesthetic Physician Practice.

Looking ahead, Lauren's vision for Spruce is to continue providing top-notch aesthetic treatments while staying grounded in science and conservatism. The spa recently introduced laser skin rejuvenation services and is launching The Spruce Beauty Bank membership to make skincare more affordable and consistent for clients. The first anniversary event was in early October and offered many ways to celebrate with Spruce clients.

Clients of Spruce have nothing but praise for the spa. Regan L. describes it as “a beautiful space where the founder combines medical knowledge with artistic skill.” Baylie S. “appreciates the personalized skincare routine provided for her wedding preparation”, and Erin K. found her “first injection experience to be magical, thanks to the professional and kind staff.”

 

In conclusion, Spruce is more than just a medical spa; it's a place where clients can trust their providers, feel comfortable, and achieve natural, beautiful results. With a strong foundation in medical expertise and a commitment to the community, Spruce is poised for continued success.
