A considered choice beyond the Heights

Find us at 3800 Southwest Fwy, Suite 108, near Weslayan Street. The trip from the Heights is a short drive across town, so allow time rather than treating us as a neighborhood walk-in.

We have served Houston since 2011 and added medspa care in 2025.

Planning the drive from the Heights

These approximate windows vary with traffic. Follow navigation for the final freeway access-road approach.

  • 19th Street shops: Reach Shepherd or Durham, travel south toward the Southwest Freeway, and continue toward Weslayan. Allow about 20–30 minutes.
  • Heights Mercantile: Connect to Shepherd or Durham south, then take the Southwest Freeway approach toward our Upper Kirby address. Plan for about 15–25 minutes.
  • Donovan Park: Use local streets to reach Shepherd or Durham heading south, then continue toward the Southwest Freeway and Weslayan. Allow about 15–25 minutes.

Personal attention without a prescribed look

For Heights professionals and families, a useful appointment begins with listening. Private rooms provide space to discuss preferences, and no high-pressure sales means you can consider recommendations at your own pace.

Our owners bring high-end restaurant hospitality to the welcome. Dedicated parking and weekday hours until 9pm make the visit easier to arrange. We aim for natural-looking changes with Dr. Michael Chen’s medical oversight.

Houston Press named us Best Spa in 2015, 2016, and 2020.

Find the treatment that addresses your concern

Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau

Expression lines can become more noticeable without changing how energetic you feel. Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau are FDA-approved for specific indications involving moderate to severe glabellar lines between the eyebrows in eligible adults. Botox also has approved indications for forehead lines and crow’s feet. A consultation connects those options to your anatomy and health history. Explain how much movement you want to retain, and ask about possible side effects and follow-up. Treatment decisions should reflect your face and preferences, with time to consider the recommendation before proceeding.

Explore neurotoxin consultations

Dermal fillers

An interest in fillers does not have to begin with a dramatic transformation. You may be noticing lost volume or wanting to discuss proportion in one feature. Restylane and Juvederm options require careful selection for the proposed treatment area. Your consultation should address facial balance, medical suitability, and how your preferred degree of change might be approached. Ask about recovery, including swelling and bruising, as well as less common serious complications. Understanding what follow-up involves is part of making an informed decision about whether treatment suits you.

Consider a personalized filler plan

LaseMD Ultra laser resurfacing

Uneven skin tone and surface texture call for a different conversation than movement-related lines. LaseMD Ultra laser resurfacing may be an option after your skin and history have been assessed. Discuss recent sun exposure, pigmentation concerns, medications, and previous procedures before choosing a date. Your provider should explain preparation, the healing process, and the care needed afterward. Leave room in your calendar for your skin’s response rather than expecting an immediate finished result. Ask whether a series is appropriate and how progress would be evaluated between visits.

Understand LaseMD Ultra resurfacing

SkinPen microneedling

Acne scars and persistent texture changes can be frustrating even after breakouts have passed. SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device for improving the appearance of facial acne scars in adults 22 years and older. Its controlled micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s repair response. A consultation helps determine whether your current skin condition is suitable and how treatment might fit alongside other care. Ask about redness, recovery, product restrictions, and realistic expectations for a series. The goal is an informed plan, with adjustments based on how your skin responds.

Custom and DiamondGlow facials

A good skincare routine should be understandable enough to follow at home. Custom facials and DiamondGlow give Heights clients options for discussing dullness, congestion, and changing skin needs with an esthetician. Bring your current product routine and mention any recent aesthetic procedures so the recommendation accounts for both. Our founder and Master Esthetician, Christina Hartmann Jenkins, has more than two decades of experience. Whether you are arranging an occasional visit or considering ongoing care, ask what the facial involves and which practical steps matter afterward.
