Doctor-led aesthetic and wellness treatments designed to help you look refreshed, feel confident, and age with intention — under the care of physicians who actually know your name.
medAge was founded by Dr. Laura Ellis, MD — and every treatment protocol at this practice is physician-designed and physician-supervised. That’s not a marketing phrase. It means when you sit down for a consultation, you’re talking to a doctor, not a sales coordinator. Your treatment plan reflects your medical history, your anatomy, and your goals. Not a menu.
Morpheus8, Ultherapy, Lumecca IPL, CO2 laser resurfacing, InBody composition scanning, EmpowerRF — these are not beginner devices. They require specific training, clinical oversight, and experience to use safely and effectively. Grace, our RN with the deepest device experience on the team, has trained extensively on each. We don’t rotate in new equipment for the sake of it. We use what works.
The most common concern we hear in consultations is: “I don’t want to look done.” Every treatment plan at medAge starts from that premise. Our injectors — Grace and Madison — are trained to enhance what’s already there, preserve natural expression, and deliver results that your friends notice without being able to name. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.
Dysport, Xeomin, Radiesse, Revanesse, Belotero, Restylane, Sculptra — administered by nurse injectors trained in facial anatomy and natural-result techniques. We don’t chase trends. We chase the version of your face that looks like you at your best.
Explore injectables Device Treatment — FDA ClearedUltherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten skin on the face, neck, and brow — without surgery, without needles, without downtime. It’s one of the only non-invasive treatments with an FDA clearance specifically for lifting, and medAge is one of the few practices in Asheville that offers it. Results develop gradually over 2–3 months as your body rebuilds collagen from within. Performed by Grace, our Ultherapy-trained device specialist.
About Ultherapy Device TreatmentRadiofrequency energy delivered at precise depth targets collagen remodeling, skin tightening, and texture improvement — face and body. One of the most effective non-surgical skin treatments available. Performed by Grace, our most experienced device clinician.
About Morpheus8 Device TreatmentMiXto SX fractional CO2 laser resurfaces the skin at a cellular level — addressing sun damage, texture irregularities, acne scarring, and fine lines with results that other treatments rarely match. This is a clinical procedure, not a facial. We explain exactly what to expect.
About CO2 Laser BodyBodyTite, EMSCULPT, Morpheus8 body, and InBody composition scanning — a suite of technologies for fat reduction, muscle definition, and skin tightening. We include the InBody scan because we want to track what’s actually changing — not just how you look in the mirror.
Body contouring options Medical Weight LossPhysician-supervised medical weight loss through Foundation by Dr. Live Long. Tirzepatide (Zepbound), comprehensive lab work, InBody body composition tracking, and monthly check-ins with Dr. Long — not a telehealth subscription. A real program with a real provider.
Medical weight loss program WellnessEmpowerRF by InMode addresses pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary concerns, and sexual wellness with non-invasive radiofrequency energy. These are conversations we welcome — and conditions that respond well to treatment when addressed by a provider who understands the full picture.
Sexual health treatments WellnessIV drips, PROVOQUE, and customized skin care plans from Noon Aesthetics and Neocutis designed around your biology, not a standard menu. We carry Xymogen medical-grade supplements and work with patients who want a provider managing their whole-body picture alongside their aesthetic goals.

Medical Director & Founder, medAge

She designed every treatment protocol in this practice. When you come to medAge, her standards are present in every appointment — whether she’s in the room or not.

Clinical Lead, medAge · Founder, Dr. Live Long

Full bioMost patients tell us they spent weeks researching before calling — and that the actual first appointment was much more comfortable than they expected. Here’s how it works.
Your first appointment is a conversation. We review your medical history, your goals, your concerns about what you don’t want. No pressure to book treatments on the spot. No package upsells at the front desk.
After the consultation, we build a plan specific to you — which treatments, in which order, on what timeline. For some patients that’s one thing. For others it’s a multi-step protocol. We explain the reasoning behind every recommendation.
Most aesthetic results require a plan, not just an appointment. We discuss realistic timelines, realistic maintenance, and realistic expectations — before you commit to anything. Patients who understand this have better outcomes and longer relationships with us.

“I’ve gone to other places — one actually being a very reputable surgeon in Asheville — and I’ve been disappointed. I’ve looked back at pictures and could see when my face was overfilled, lips too full, poorly placed Botox. Dr. Long has balanced me back out. These days I mainly stick to biostimulators, laser treatments, and some Dysport. My face looks refined and natural. I will not go anywhere else.”
“This is the most efficient medical practice I’ve ever experienced — scheduling, billing, and record keeping are critical to me. Jordana manages all of that with incredible accuracy while also providing warm, sincere patient care. For the past decade medAge has helped me address various medical issues and I have excellent outcomes under Dr. Long’s care.”
“Dr. Long and her staff are extremely friendly and listen to your needs — everything from hormones to sunspots. She will customize service to meet your needs. I love that she is a primary health care provider and prefers natural treatments above just giving you medicine to mask the problem. She is about healing from the inside out.”
Real patients, real results — not stock images or filtered composites. Every photo in our gallery was taken at medAge with patient consent. We show the full range of outcomes, not just the best-case scenarios, because that’s what helps you make an informed decision.
We don’t carry every device. We carry the ones with the strongest clinical evidence, the most predictable outcomes, and the appropriate FDA clearances for the conditions we treat. Grace, our device specialist, trained directly with InMode, Merz and other technology partners — not just on the machines, but on patient selection, protocol design, and managing outcomes.
