Chic and Competent New Skincare Clinics Set Houston Aglow

A customized facial at Heyday

BEAUTY-BIZ HEAVY-hitters from all over the country are (finally) descending upon H-Town, promising to rid customers of wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and more.


Having been launched in Nashville by nurse practitioner Maegan Griffin, upscale Skin Pharm has opened in a sparkly new building on Westheimer. With soaring white walls awash in natural light and warm style, the space reads more boutique hotel or urbane spa than clinic. Treatments include microneedling, filler, Botox and more. The Gold Infusion facial is a wonder; your skin will glow, and, weeks later, people will comment! There’s also a line of raved-about products, including its viral Papaya Enzyme Cleanser.

Nearby in Montrose Collective, membership-based beauty company Skin Laundry of California serves up high-tech treatments like laser-resurfacing facials alongside specially formulated serums and sheet masks designed to maximize results.

Now open in the River Oaks Shopping Center, Heyday is another national chain offering monthly memberships with enticing perks and discounts. It promises to “take the guesswork out of skincare,” with customizable 50-minute facials and shopping guidance from estheticians, who seem to understand that accessibility is key to forming sustainable skincare habits. Expect a robust selection of products from high-end go-to brands like Supergoop!, Tata Harper and others.

Similarly, Hi, Skin aims to make custom skincare affordable, and is now open in M-K-T Heights and, soon, Uptown Park. Flexible membership plans are on offer here, too.

Finally, Los Angeles-based Alchemy 43 — with “microtreatments” like peels, microneedling, Botox, fillers and more — has broken into the Texas market with locations on two of Houston’s biggest thoroughfares, Westheimer and Memorial.

Consistent Focus on the Patient Is What Sets Montrose Med Spa Apart

Owner Maricela Olivo and Montrose Med Spa

WHAT MAKES MONTROSE Med Spa stand apart from the competition? We set ourselves apart from the competition by being consistently focused on one thing: the patient. With that focus, we will succeed in a successful and healthy experience and loyalty to Montrose Med Spa. Staying true to our message of intentional wellness is a point of difference where I see other spas being unclear and distracted in their direction. By listening to our patients, we ensure we meet and exceed their expectations. We continually stay on top of the market by offering the best innovative body sculpting and skin treatments that invigorate and energize and are specifically designed to restore balance and strength and renew youth to the body. We also utilize a number of marketing programs to stay on the minds of our guests, including radio, TV, direct mail, email blasts, and unique invitations for exclusive treatments. One element that helps to establish the bar and sets us apart from our competition is our emphasis on providing a complete medical gym experience—from the varied treatments with Emsculpt Neo to a personalized health and wellness and skin evaluation for each individual by our certified staff. We also provide a noninvasive, pain-free, and needle-free facelift through EMFace in addition to offering monthly beauty memberships that create a commitment to the overall wellbeing of the patient.
