Questions

Florida Aesthetics and Wellness is a physician-directed medical spa in Brandon, FL. We offer aesthetic treatments, medical weight loss, hormone optimization, and wellness services, all performed by licensed medical providers under physician oversight. We are not a day spa. We are a clinical practice.

We have been serving the Brandon community since 2006, longer than most medspas have existed. We started as a medical weight loss program inside Community Neuro Center, became a standalone clinic called Brandon Weight Loss in 2010, and rebranded to Florida Aesthetics and Wellness in 2014 as we expanded into injectables, laser treatments, and advanced aesthetics. In 2021, we moved into our own 2,500 sq ft clinic adjacent to the neuro center. Read our full story.

Our roots are in clinical medicine. We started as a physician-led weight loss program and grew into a full-spectrum practice with a board-certified neurologist as medical director, who began his career in primary care medicine. We invest in skilled providers and medical-grade technology, not high-end decor, and pass those savings directly to our patients.

Both. Florida Aesthetics and Wellness operates as a physician-directed medical spa. Treatments are performed by licensed APRNs under the oversight of a board-certified physician. Your care is held to a medical standard.

We are at 1767 S. Kings Ave., Brandon, FL 33511, adjacent to Community Neuro Center. Parking is available on-site. We serve Brandon, Riverview, Valrico, Lithia, Fish Hawk, Seffner, Apollo Beach, Sun City, and the greater Tampa Bay area.
