Sapphire Advanced Aesthetics

Sapphire Advanced Aesthetics was founded by Dr. Leslie Smith, who shifted her focus to cosmetic surgery after continuing medical education at the University of Florida in 2010. Her earlier work included trauma, burn and wound care. The name refers to the sapphire stone, and the laser the practice started with used erbium. The business describes itself as Minnesota's premier cosmetic treatment center.

The practice starts with a complimentary consultation tailored to each patient. At that visit the team discusses concerns in detail and reviews medical information before recommending any treatment. Treatment plans take into account goals, medical history, lifestyle, diet, medications, recent weight changes and mobility. The practice pairs laser technology with attention to nutrition and physical activity. Procedures are performed under local anesthesia, and patient financing is available. Hours are Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM, with Saturdays by appointment only. The practice serves patients from Plymouth, Wayzata and Minnetonka.

The menu covers body contouring such as Tickle Lipo, BodyTite and a mini tummy tuck, plus skin tightening with Morpheus8 Cool and FaceTite. The practice also sells skincare, including its own line, and hosts the Beauty on The Brain podcast.

Combines laser technology with attention to nutrition, physical activity and each patient's medical history, aiming for natural, balanced results.
