Why Patients Choose medAge

There are a lot of med spas in Asheville.
There is one medAge.

Physician-led from your first appointment to your last

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.

Technology that is not available at most Asheville practices

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.

Treatments designed to look like you — not like "work"

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.

What We Treat

Services that go further than what most practices offer.

Injectables & Skin

Neuromodulators & Dermal Fillers

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.

Device Treatment — FDA Cleared

Ultherapy Skin Lifting & Tightening

Ultherapy 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.

Morpheus8 RF Microneedling

Radiofrequency 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 Treatment

CO2 Laser Resurfacing

MiXto 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
Body

Body Contouring & Composition

BodyTite, 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.

Medical Weight Loss

Tirzepatide & GLP-1 Programs

Physician-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.

Sexual Health & EmpowerRF

EmpowerRF 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.

IV Therapy & Customized Wellness

IV 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.

Your First Visit

What happens when you walk in for the first time.

Most 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.

1

A real consultation — not a sales pitch

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.

2

A treatment plan built for your anatomy

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.

3

Results you can maintain, not just a single visit

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.

What patients say after they've been through it.

4.9 out of 5  ★★★★★  based on 145 Google reviews

★★★★★

"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."

The devices we use — and why we chose them.

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.
