Med spas are popping up around town, fusing cutting-edge treatments with a posh day spa sensibility. Lauded plastic surgeon Dr. Kiran Gill stuns with her new 10,000-square-foot Naples Aesthetic Institute. Dr. Gill worked with design pros David Corban Architects, BUILD and Renée Gaddis Interiors for a truly zen space. “[It’s all about] ultimate comfort and rejuvenation,” she says.
Alongside having a surgical center, the institute offers abundant services, including an acne boot camp program, Aquagold microchanneling (rejuvenating microinjections), SkinPen microneedling and IPL light therapy, and the highly requested DiamondGlow facial—the resurfacing treatment, popular for its gentler diamond-tipped exfoliator and tailored infusions.
Further north, The Med Spa in Fort Myers opened at the end of 2023, offering everything from hormone-replacement therapy (said to do wonders on crepey upper arm skin) to PDO Thread Lifts and the exalted Morpheus8, a powerful device that blends microneedling with radiofrequency to penetrate deeper in the skin and stimulate collagen production. You may know The Med Spa’s founder, Kamii Tursi, a nurse practitioner with a doctorate degree specializing in aesthetic, antiaging and concierge medicine, best known for her flawless lip filler work as @theblondeinjector on social media.
For head-to-toe pampering with the boost of a Hydrafacial or dermaplaning, explore one of these newly renovated hotel wellness sanctuaries with med spa services. Expect first-class hospitality at the spas of The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, and Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa, which reopened in the past year after full restorations following Hurricane Ian. In Punta Gorda, the long-awaited Sunseeker Resort debuted in December with a full suite of Hydrafacials at its Lorelai Spa.
With amenities befitting the world-class resort brands—along with menus offering blowouts, mani-pedis and makeup application—you can get all your gala-prep needs taken care of in one place. Welcome to the new generation of med spas.
