Other MedSpa Treatments
Offered at our convenient location in Baltimore, Maryland
A medspa treatment is any non-surgical procedure that is designed for aesthetic rejuvenation. Although traditional Medspa treatments such as volumizing injectables can rejuvenate your complexion, treating your skin with non-invasive skin care and other Medspa treatments is an effective way to achieve a smoother, brighter appearance with minimal downtime. Medspa treatments include a range of nonsurgical and minimally invasive procedures to help you improve the appearance of your skin, reduce signs of facial aging, and help you find relief from conditions such as eczema, rosacea, and sun damage. Gentle facials, non-invasive body contouring, waxing treatments, and skin care products are simple and effective for enhancing your appearance and well-being.

About Medspa Treatments
As you age, it’s common to experience changes in the tone and texture of your skin. If you are experiencing fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, hyperpigmentation, unwanted hair growth, or an uneven skin texture, medspa treatments enhance your appearance without surgery, and they require minimal downtime. Approximately 80% of skin aging is related to UV exposure. (1) Lifestyle habits such as diet, smoking, and stress can also increase, affecting the integrity of the skin barrier. With Medspa treatments, we can nourish your skin with essential nutrients and increase collagen–a protein that helps your skin maintain its structure and smooth appearance–to reduce signs of aging.
Facials and Microdermabrasion
We offer a variety of facial treatments to keep your skin looking its very best. Come in for your customized facial treatment, or select from our featured popular facials:
- Pick-Me-Up Facial: Dr. Wells can hydrate your skin, stimulate collagen production, and fortify your skin barrier for a more radiant appearance.
- Teen Acne Fighting Facial: Hormonal changes during puberty can affect the skin barrier, resulting in acne that affects self-esteem and can be difficult to treat with other-the-counter products. With an acne facial, Dr. Wells can clarify the skin, remove bacteria, and reduce scarring for a brighter, smoother complexion.
- Spa Facial: Dr. Wells can enhance your skin with a comprehensive facial that includes cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration. A spa facial can significantly improve and pamper your skin.
DermaSweep Microdermabrasion with Epi-Infusion
To avoid overwhelming the skin with abrasive and irritating particles, the cool hydrating solutions lift away skin debris and clear pores, creating a luxurious feel. Epi-Infusion solutions can smooth and hydrate your skin with hyaluronic acid, fight acne, unclog pores with salicylic acid, and reduce hyperpigmentation. Epi-Infusion allows you to customize your microdermabrasion treatment depending on your unique skin care needs. We can perform a series of DermaSweep Microdermabrasion treatments depending on the condition of your skin, and we can discuss the best treatment plan for your needs.
Waxing
Waxing allows for precise hair removal that lasts several weeks, making the treatment ideal for patients with busy schedules. With our specialized procedures, we minimize the risk of experiencing ingrown hairs because waxing removes hair from the root for longer-lasting results. After waxing, the hair often grows softer, making it an ideal option for patients with thicker hair who wish to improve over time. Removing hair from the root means that the hair takes longer to grow back so that you can enjoy lasting results.
Our skilled aestheticians can eliminate unwanted hair from areas of the face to more intimate areas, giving you the smooth, clear skin you desire. Featured waxing options include the following:
- Lip Wax: Dr. Wells can remove hair from the upper lip, so you won’t need to worry about plucking.
- Eyebrow Wax: Dr. Wells can reshape the brows to enhance appearance and remove unwanted hair along the browline.
- Bikini Wax: Dr. Wells can remove unwanted hair from the bikini line for a smoother appearance.
- Brazilian Wax: A Brazilian wax removes unwanted hair from the bikini line, front, and upper thighs. We can remove hair from the buttocks and shape the front into a small strip, triangle, or square.
Skin Care Products
We also offer a wide range of skincare products to help you maintain radiant, beautiful, youthful skin at home. Our experienced aestheticians will help you discover the right products and develop a personal treatment plan.
SkinMedica TNS Advanced Serum
If you have visible, coarse wrinkles, fine lines, or a change in the texture of your skin, SkinMedica TNS Advanced Serum can help you reduce them from the comfort of your home without undergoing Medspa treatments. We can also include this treatment as part of your at-home care routine. The formula contains growth factors–molecules naturally occurring in the body that help your skin generate new healthy cells. With consistent use, the serum can help you achieve a firmer, smoother appearance and more youthful-looking complexion in 12 weeks.
Wells B5 Hydra Gel
Wells B5 Hydra Gel is a gel formulated with hyaluronic acid that moisturizes the skin, addresses sun damage (photoaging), and fortifies your skin with Vitamin B3 and B5 to hydrate the skin barrier and improve the texture of your skin. The gel is also infused with peptides–amino acids that support your immune system and help your skin barrier repair itself. It does not contain fragrances, and the well-tolerated formula is designed for acne-prone skin (non-comedogenic).
Wells CE Ferulic Acid
Wells CE Ferulic acid is a retinoid–it accelerates skin cell turnover to renew your skin barrier, improve the appearance of acne scars, and reduce hyperpigmentation. Retinoids can also reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The formula contains vitamins C and E to rejuvenate your skin barrier. It is important that you use sunscreen such as EltaMD because retinoids can make your skin barrier more susceptible to sun damage.
EltaMD UV Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF
EltaMD UV Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF is a sheer hyaluronic acid-infused formula that hydrates the skin while protecting the barrier from UV exposure to prevent fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that helps your skin maintain its moisture and youthful appearance. The lightweight formula is suitable for wearing beneath your makeup and comes in tinted and clear formulas to suit your skin.
Wells EXFO Express
Wells EXFO Express exfoliates your skin barrier to remove dead skin cells and impurities for a brighter appearance. Unlike a chemical peel that requires an in-office treatment, this formula can rejuvenate your skin barrier at home.
Wells Glow Getter
Wells Glow Getter can help you achieve brighter skin. For that radiant glow and “glass skin” look, we recommend an antioxidant-infused treatment that contains two powerful ingredients for ultimate radiance:
- Kojic acid: Kojic acid can help reduce hyperpigmentation for a brighter appearance and reduce acne-causing bacteria.
- Enzyme-Activated Arbutin: The plant-based antioxidant can improve age spots and melasma for an even skin tone. (2)
Benefits
There are several benefits to medspa treatments, including the following:
- Minimally invasive treatment: With topical, comfortable treatments, we can quickly reduce wanted hair and signs of aging for a more youthful appearance.
- Quick recovery: Since the treatments require minimal downtime, you can quickly return to most of your normal activities.
- Customizable treatment: We can adjust your treatments to fit your goals and needs.
- Lasting results: If you take good skin care, you can enjoy long-lasting improvements.
- Improved skin quality: After fortifying your skin barrier with essential nutrients, you can enjoy a smoother, more radiant, youthful complexion.
- Increased self-confidence: Many patients feel more confident in their appearance with customizable treatments that enhance the quality of the skin barrier.
Candidates & Consultation
Suitable candidates for other medspa treatments would like to:
- Diminish fine lines and wrinkles
- Improve their skin tone by addressing acne scars or hyperpigmentation
- Reduce unwanted hair
- Achieve lasting results
During your consultation, Dr. Wells will ask about your aesthetic goals and physically examine your skin to determine the best treatment for your needs. She will also ask about your medical history, aesthetic goals, and any previous treatments you have had. She will create a personalized treatment plan and recommend additional procedures, if necessary, to achieve your aesthetic goals. To prepare for your treatment, you must protect your skin from the sun to prepare for medspa treatments. If you experience sun damage, we will likely need to delay your appointment.
After Your Treatment
After your treatment, you must take good care of your skin and avoid sun exposure that could lead to skin damage. If you experience redness after waxing, you may need a day or two of social downtime. However, after most medspa treatments, you can quickly return to normal activities. Your skin will be sensitive after waxing, so you must protect it from the sun.
