About Mel Lara, Licensed Medical Esthetician

Mel focuses on developing a partnership with the skin. She is dedicated to educating clients about nutrition and lifestyle habits that promote healthy skin. Mel applies specialized skincare products and techniques that enter the dermis where the living tissue creates the most lasting change for beauty and anti-aging results.

She studied at the University of Havana in Cuba, and received her training from Florida College of Natural Health graduating with a degree in paramedical skincare. She is licensed in Florida and Texas as a medical esthetician. After her academic studies, she worked for several years with Mandala Medispa, a full service medical spa with a well-known plastic surgeon. Mel is currently finishing her Kundalini Yoga teacher training certification.

Statement/Philosophy: I believe that skincare is more than the external. It's about an "inside-outside" partnership of taking care of health and beauty through diet, regular exercise, exacting nutritional supplementation, and the most advanced organic skincare products on the market.

To schedule an appointment with Mel, call us at (512) 478-4567.
