Med Spa Serving Downtown Houston, Houston

Our location is 3800 Southwest Fwy, Suite 108, near Weslayan Street in Upper Kirby. We welcome downtown clients here, rather than operating a downtown clinic.

Bare Necessities opened in 2011 and introduced medspa services in 2025. An appointment can fit into your week without adding a downtown garage to the itinerary.

The trip from your downtown starting point

Use these approximate travel windows as a guide. Rush-hour congestion can extend the trip, so check navigation before leaving.

• Discovery Green: Reach the Southwest Freeway, US-59, and travel southwest toward Upper Kirby and Weslayan. Allow about 15–25 minutes.
• Market Square: Follow local streets to US-59 southwest, continuing toward the Southwest Freeway approach near Weslayan. Plan for about 20–30 minutes.
• Allen Center office towers: Connect to the Southwest Freeway heading southwest, then follow navigation to our address near Weslayan. Allow about 15–25 minutes.

Care that respects a full calendar

Weekday hours from 9am to 9pm make after-work planning possible. Dedicated parking simplifies arrival, while private treatment rooms give personal questions the discretion they deserve.

Our owners’ high-end restaurant hospitality background shapes an attentive welcome. We pursue natural-looking improvement under Dr. Michael Chen’s medical oversight, without high-pressure sales. You can ask questions and consider your options before deciding.

Our Houston Press Best Spa honors include 2015, 2016, and 2020.

Choose by concern, then plan the timing

Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau

When a concentrated expression leaves lines between your brows, neurotoxin treatment may be worth discussing. Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau have FDA-approved indications for moderate to severe glabellar lines in eligible adults; Botox is also approved for forehead lines and crow’s feet. Product choice follows assessment of your movement, health history, and goals. Ask how long the full visit takes, when changes may appear, and whether follow-up is recommended. If your calendar includes presentations or photographs, discuss those dates so possible bruising and treatment response can be considered.

Plan a neurotoxin consultation

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers address selected volume and contour concerns rather than the muscle activity behind expression lines. Upper Kirby offers Restylane and Juvederm options for discussion after a clinical assessment. Be specific about the feature you notice and the amount of change you would feel comfortable seeing. Your provider should explain product suitability, possible swelling and bruising, and more serious risks. Ask what support is available if you have concerns afterward. Planning around work includes understanding recovery, not assuming that a treatment will be invisible when you return to the office.

LaseMD Ultra laser resurfacing

For uneven tone or surface texture, consider a consultation about LaseMD Ultra laser resurfacing. The starting point is your skin condition, including pigmentation history, recent sun exposure, and previous procedures. Your provider can explain whether laser treatment is appropriate, what preparation involves, and how healing may affect your schedule. Ask about sun protection and temporary changes to your skincare routine. A series may be discussed, depending on your goals and response. Choose an appointment date with aftercare in mind, and allow expectations to develop from your individual assessment.

SkinPen microneedling

Facial acne scars and uneven texture may call for a longer-term plan. SkinPen is FDA-cleared for improving facial acne-scar appearance in adults aged 22 and older. The microneedling procedure creates controlled micro-injuries that prompt the skin’s repair process. Discuss current breakouts, medications, sensitivity, and recent treatments before deciding whether it is suitable. Ask how recovery may affect makeup, exercise, and upcoming work commitments. Improvement varies, and your provider should explain what a proposed series can reasonably aim to achieve rather than promise a fixed outcome.

Discuss SkinPen for acne scars

Custom and DiamondGlow facials

Your facial appointment can be a chance to simplify what happens between visits. Custom facials and DiamondGlow are available at Upper Kirby, with the choice guided by your skin concerns and treatment history. Tell your esthetician which products you use, how your skin feels through the day, and whether you have recently had a medical aesthetic procedure. Founder and Master Esthetician Christina Hartmann Jenkins brings 20-plus years of experience. Ask for a clear explanation of the selected facial and the home-care steps that support your routine.
