Face By Flores

Face By Flores is a medical spa in Solana Beach run by registered nurse Elisabeth Flores, who is the contact for the practice. Her background includes about fifteen years ago starting as an operating room nurse in plastic surgery, and fourteen years working in the med spa field since then. Her work has covered a range of lasers and injectables, and she has learned how each product behaves.

The practice takes a conservative approach aimed at a natural-looking result. Treatment plans are personalized: Elisabeth first listens to each patient's concerns and then designs the treatment around them. She favors doing less at the start, since a treatment can be added later more easily than an overdone result can be corrected. Testimonials on the salon's home page describe clients looking refreshed rather than as though they have had work done, which the salon presents as its own goal.

The clinic's menu covers four areas: injectable neuromodulators, filler products, light-based laser work, and non-surgical skin tightening. Botox is one neuromodulator option, and according to the salon it softens wrinkles by working on the muscles that cause frown lines and crow's feet. For filler, Belotero is a prescription injectable used for moderate to severe nasolabial folds. Juvederm XC is a hyaluronic acid filler aimed at lines around the nose and mouth. Juvederm Voluma is used to restore fullness in the cheeks of adults over 21. Radiesse is placed beneath the skin and gives volume right after treatment. Intense pulse light is available for brown patches, sunspots and uneven tone across the face, neck, chest and hands. Ultherapy, which the salon calls an FDA-approved, non-invasive ultrasound procedure, is offered to firm and raise the brows, chin, neck, lower cheeks and décolletage.

New patients must contact Elisabeth through the contact page and complete a consultation before booking an appointment. Brilliant Distinctions members receive a discount when they present a printed coupon at the time of service.
