The Other 23 Wellness Center & Medical Spa
At The Other 23 Wellness Center & Medical Spa in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, beauty isn’t just skin deep — and athletic performance isn’t just about sweat and repetition. Here, the two converge in a thoughtfully designed ecosystem of treatments and therapies that support recovery, rejuvenation, and radiant skin. Whether you’re chasing personal bests at the gym, smoothing fine lines, or seeking relief from chronic discomfort, Other 23 offers a full suite of services that nurture both performance and beauty.
Let’s dive into how this veteran-operated wellness center mixes athletic performance and beauty through their skin care, med spa, and wellness services — and what it can mean for your health, appearance, and self-confidence.
The Philosophy: Holistic, Evidence-Based, Performance-Driven Beauty
Other 23’s mission extends beyond quick fixes. Their philosophy is built on:
Holistic healing: addressing underlying causes of skin issues, inflammation, pain, or fatigue rather than simply masking symptoms. Other 23 Wellness+1
Evidence-based therapies: deploying modern, proven modalities like red light therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, radio frequency skin tightening, cryolipolysis, etc. Other 23 Wellness+2Other 23 Wellness+2
Synergy of beauty and athletic performance: recognizing that recovery, skin care, body composition, and aesthetic appearance are mutually reinforcing. When your body recovers better, your skin glows more; when your skin is healthy, you feel better training.
Key Services: Where the Beauty & Athletic Performance Lines Blur
To understand how Other 23 merges performance with beauty, let’s look at some of their core services.
1. Med Spa & Skin Care Treatments
Radio Frequency (RF) Skin Tightening — RF treatments stimulate collagen and elastin production, firming skin, reducing fine lines and improving tone. This supports beauty in a natural, non-surgical way. Patients can expect smoother, tighter skin, which can also improve posture and confidence (both valuable in athletic endeavors).

Jeuveau Injections — As a modern neurotoxin, Jeuveau helps reduce expression lines. Under skilled hands (such as the staff at Other 23), it offers natural results, complementing skin care and overall aesthetics. Other 23 Wellness+1
Cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) — This body contouring treatment helps reduce stubborn fat, which can help refine physique and aesthetic silhouette. For athletes, maintaining or reducing fat helps with movement efficiency; for beauty, the visual contour matters. Other 23 Wellness+1
Massage Therapy, Cupping — Useful not just for relaxation but for promoting circulation, reducing muscle tightness, improving skin tone and flexibility. These contribute to both performance recovery and skin health. Other 23 Wellness+1
2. Athletic Performance & Recovery / Wellness Services
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) — Provides elevated oxygen levels to help speed recovery, reduce inflammation, improve healing after workouts or injury. This modality not only supports performance, but also skin repair (e.g. healing wounds, enhancing skin cell turnover). Other 23 Wellness+1
Cryotherapy & Cold Plunge + Sauna — Cold exposure helps reduce soreness, decrease inflammation, and accelerate muscle recovery. Contrast therapy (hot + cold) also benefits circulation and skin tone. Other 23 Wellness+2Other 23 Wellness+2
Red Light Therapy — Near-infrared / red light wavelengths stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery. It’s a dual-benefit for skin (reduces wrinkles, improves texture) and performance (helps muscle recovery, mitochondrial health). Other 23 Wellness+1
Compression Therapy (Normatec) — Helps with circulation, reduces swelling, helps recovery after strenuous exercise. Healthy circulation supports healthier skin as well. Other 23 Wellness+1
Localized Cryotherapy — Targets specific areas—good for sports injuries, localized inflammation, and for improving skin tone post-treatment. Other 23 Wellness+1
Advanced 3D Body Scan Technology — Gives detailed metrics on body composition, posture, proportions. Useful for tracking athletic progress (lean mass, fat mass) as well as aesthetic goals like body contour or symmetry. Other 23 W
Here’s how these offerings work together in practice to deliver more than the sum of their parts:
Faster Recovery = Better Performance, Better Skin
After intense training or physical stress, your body produces inflammatory markers, micro-damage, and oxidative stress. Services like cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen, and red light therapy help reduce that inflammation and speed tissue repair. The result: less soreness, improved athletic output, and skin that isn’t compromised by breakdown or stress.Body Composition & Aesthetic Confidence
Tools like cryolipolysis, 3D body scans, and normatec compression allow you to refine physique in a measurable way. When you see positive change in muscle tone, fat reduction, and overall body symmetry, you feel more confident — which can motivate you to push harder in workouts, maintain nourishing skin care regimens, and care for your body holistically.Skin Health as the “Finished Product”
Healthy skin is the visible crown of all your wellness efforts. Nutrition, rest, recovery, and targeted treatments (RF tightening, Jeuveau, red light) all contribute. Other 23 ensures that while you train and recover, your skin isn’t neglected — sun damage, expression lines, texture issues are addressed with med spa services designed to amplify your inner health.Reduced Pain & Improved Mobility
Pain or restriction in movement can severely limit both performance and the ability to maintain skin care routines (e.g. stretching, self-care). Services like massage, cupping, compression, cryotherapy help to reduce pain, improve mobility, and thus support consistency in training and in beauty maintenance.Mind-Body Boost
There’s powerful psychological benefit in looking good and feeling strong. Confidence, mood, stress reduction all impact skin (stress can trigger breakouts or inflammation), performance (motivation, consistency), and overall well-being. Other 23’s emphasis on comfort, education, and tailored plans underscores this mind-body connection.
Putting this integrated approach into practice can yield multiple outcomes:
Visible Skin Improvements: smoother texture, tighter skin, fewer expression lines, less pigmentation and puffiness.
Improved Physical Recovery & Performance: less soreness, better endurance, faster bounce back after hard workouts or injuries.
Balanced Body Composition: reduction of stubborn fat, more clearly defined muscle tone, improved posture and symmetry.
Reduced Pain & Increased Mobility: relief from chronic aches, speedier injury recovery, greater freedom in movement.
Boosted Confidence: seeing change in the mirror, feeling better in your body, enhanced mental wellness.

Skin Care Tips for Athletes & Active Individuals: Getting the Most from Other 23
To pair your athletic lifestyle with glowing skin, here are a few tips that align well with what Other 23 offers:
Hydrate consistently — skin is made of water; training makes you sweat. Replace fluids, and support skin health from inside.
Protect skin pre- and post-training — sunscreen, gentle cleansers, and moisture after sweat help prevent damage.
Schedule recovery days — using cryotherapy, saunas, or hyperbaric therapy. Overtraining can show up in skin (breakouts, dullness) and muscle fatigue.
Incorporate red light and RF treatments — these aid collagen production, skin repair, and help combat common athletic skin issues (sun damage, micro-abrasions, etc.).
Track changes using objective metrics — tools like 3D body scans, before/after skin photos help you see progress you might not feel immediately.
Beauty, Athletic Performance, Skin Care: Integrated into Your Lifestyle
The thought of med spa visits, red light masks, compression therapy, cold plunges — these may sound luxurious, even indulgent. But at Other 23, they are tools. Tools that, when used consistently, support your athletic performance, promote beautiful, healthy skin, and enhance your overall wellness.
It’s one thing to lift heavy, run fast, or push boundaries. It’s another to recover well, present well, and look in the mirror with confidence. Other 23 builds a bridge between those worlds.
