Have Questions? Book a FREE Consultation Now!

Our complimentary consultations are thorough! We take the time to listen and understand your concerns and desired results. We will then use two professional skin analysis devices to conduct a comprehensive skin assessment. You will get to learn your true skin age and how your skin compares to others individuals with the same age and skin type; plus, you will get to see your skin in great detail, including what you can't see when you look in the mirror in the deeper layers of your skin. From this, we will then develop a custom treatment plan based on your individual needs. Of course, we are happy to answer all of your questions and explain treatment processes and pricing options in detail so when you leave your consultation, you have all the information you need to make a decision with confidence!

A few words from the owner...

I started Mejor Vida with a mission to make premium and customized beauty solutions more accessible. Let's face it, how we feel about ourselves on the outside deeply affects how we feel about ourselves on the inside. Beauty treatments - and a little pampering once in a while - can have a significant and positive impact on how we feel about ourselves inside and out.

The problem is, quality treatments are expensive, and you often need multiple treatments to see maximum results. Of course, many people cannot afford the series or combination of treatments they really need, and are often left unsatisfied and disappointed with the results (if any) they do achieve with sporadic individual treatments. This is why proper beauty solutions - not just sporadic treatments - need to be more accessible for more people.

I believe that every person deserves to look and feel their best on their terms. My goal is to help every client feel better about themselves by helping them achieve their aesthetic goals with real results. At Mejor Vida, we take pride in offering honest and transparent service, and we offer flexible in-house payment options to ensure more people can access ALL the treatments they want and need!
