Policies & Disclosures
Financial Policies & Information :

Some of the content and medical spa services available in our location and on our website require registration. We collect contact information (including name, telephone number, mailing address, DOB, and email address, etc.) to contact you regarding appointments, as well as promotions such as monthly specials and special events. Credit card information may be stored by our merchant processing partner, and charges may incur if you are enrolled in our VIP membership program, no call/no show fees, late cancellation policy, deposits for some procedures, and outstanding balances. This information is kept confidential, and only the last 4 digits of the credit card are kept on file for your security.
Payment Options
We accept cash, gift cards, major credit cards including AMEX, Cherry Financing, and Care Credit. Personal checks & all other forms of payment, not listed above, are not accepted.
Payment Policy

For scheduling purposes, the following cosmetic procedures require a 50% deposit due at the time of booking: Deep Laser Resurfacing, Fractional C02, Threadlift, ThermiTight, Tumescent Liposuction, & Facial Fat Transfer. If a scheduled procedure is canceled within 24 hours, (unless written medical emergency) 10% of the deposit shall be forfeited.

All sales are final, no refunds. Exchanges may be made on skin care products of equal or lesser value 14 days from purchase date, or services that have not been redeemed of equal or lesser value 90 days from purchase date. On returning or breaking the discounted package/special, the unused services will be charged full price. Please retain your receipt for your records. Before a service is performed, please consider all the required protocols and side effects. We are committed to the best patient experience possible, and we are available to answer any questions or concerns that you have in regards to services we offer before purchase. Any value of services or treatments that are pre-paid or “banked” may be used towards other spa services, treatments & products or transferred to another person’s account. The expiration date of prepaid packages is 2 years from purchase date.
Product Sales
Maintaining your skin with quality products is essential. We are happy to exchange products within 14 days of purchase. Although rare, this includes defective packaging, just please let us know within 14 days so we can get your product exchanged.
Gift Card Sales
Any gift card purchased through a promotion (example: mother’s day, holiday, etc.) has a 2 year expiration date.
Any gift card given for free for a promotional event, such as: birthday, friend referral, photo release, etc, is valid for 30 days only as this is “free money”.
All promotional gift cards are limit 1 per visit as this is considered “free money” and may not be stacked.
Cancellations & Refunds
New Patients, Consultations, and Follow-Up Visits
We understand that a situation may arise that could force you to cancel or postpone your treatment. Please understand that such changes not only affect our staff but other patients as well, so we ask as a courtesy you please allow 24 hours to notify us of a cancellation. Failure to cancel within the 24-hour window (or Friday before a Monday appointment) will result in a non-refundable $50 no show fee or a charge for the full service. This will be assessed depending on the situation. A pattern of missed, or non-cancelled visits may result in a discharge from the practice. If you are consistently 10 minutes or more late to your appointments, a $25 Late Fee will be charged per service. If we are able to fill your scheduled appointment time, these fees will gladly be refunded. We hope you understand, as cancellations impact our ability to schedule other patients.
Established Patients
We ask that you give at least 24 hours cancellation notice; canceling or rescheduling within 24 hours of scheduled appointment or failure to attend will result in full charge of scheduled service and/or deduction of service from any current pre-paid packages.
Revisional Treatment
The practice of medicine, especially cosmetic medicine, is not an exact science, and although best possible outcomes are anticipated, there can be no guarantee or warranty, expressed or implied, by anyone as to the actual results you will get. Occasionally, additional treatments may be required. These could result in additional charges for which you may be responsible.
For all neuromodulator injections (Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau & Dysport) two week follow-ups are scheduled and complimentary touch-ups are administered if necessary if you are seen after two weeks from your treatment a fee will be applied if further correction is needed.
*These financial policies are subject to change with or without notice. If you have any questions or need assistance with any financial matters relating to your treatment, please contact the spa manager for help.
