Who will I see when I book at Solace Wellness Aesthetics?

Solace is a boutique medical spa led by Leticia, our Founder & Master Esthetician, for skincare treatments (facials, dermaplaning, microneedling, HydraFacial), Dr. Flávio, DNP, AACC, for functional medicine lab testing, and our lash and brow specialist Barbie. You'll see the same trusted expert every visit — no rotating staff.

Why does Solace have a smaller team than other medical spas?

Boutique is our model. Large medspas rotate staff — you might see a different injector or esthetician every visit. At Solace, you build a long-term relationship with the same trusted experts. They know your skin, your history, your goals. The trade-off is fewer appointment slots, but better continuity and personalized care.

Why we stay intentionally small

Big franchise medical spas rotate staff. You might see a different injector or esthetician every visit. They don't know your skin, your history, or your goals. Solace was built differently — on the belief that the best medical aesthetic results come from long-term relationships with the same trusted experts.

Same expert, every visit

Build a real relationship with your provider. They learn your skin, your reactions, your preferences over time — and adjust accordingly.

Never rushed

Without 8-provider schedules to fill, we don't double-book. Your appointment is yours — including the time before to prep and after to settle.

Direct access

Question about a treatment? Concern after a procedure? You talk to your actual provider — not a call center. Text us, call us, message via your patient portal.

Continuity of care

Medical + esthetic care under one roof, coordinated. Your facials get adjusted around your hormone changes. Your skincare plan evolves with your wellness goals.

Leticia,
Founder & Master Esthetician

Founder · Lead Esthetician · Visionary Behind Solace

Leticia is the founder and master esthetician of Solace Wellness Aesthetics — and the reason Solace exists. With over a decade of skincare expertise, she built Solace from the ground up around a single belief: real beauty is the result of real care — precise, intentional, and deeply personal.

As a Florida-licensed esthetician with advanced certifications in microneedling protocols and Dermalogica Pro training, Leticia personally performs every facial treatment at Solace. Signature facials. Dermaplaning. Microneedling. HydraFacial. She designed each protocol herself, refined it through years of practice, and customizes every session to the patient in front of her. No two facials at Solace are identical — because no two skins are.

Beyond her technical work, Leticia is the curator of the Solace experience. The lighting. The music. The Dermalogica formulas chosen. The way the space feels the moment you walk in. All of it is intentional, all of it is hers.

Dr. Flávio,
DNP, AACC

Functional Medicine · Lab-Guided Diagnostics

Dr. Flávio is a Doctor of Nursing Practice who graduated with honors from Chamberlain University in Chicago, completed his Functional Medicine Fellowship, and holds Associate designation from the American College of Cardiology. He brings hospital-level clinical rigor to reading labs — full context, not cherry-picked markers.

At Solace, Dr. Flávio leads functional medicine lab testing: advanced panels covering hormones, metabolic and cardiovascular markers, gut health, inflammation, and micronutrients — each interpreted through a functional medicine lens, well beyond standard reference ranges. Every patient gets a dedicated results review consultation and a protocol built from their specific numbers, not a generic plan.

When a hormone panel reveals imbalance, Dr. Flávio designs an individualized hormone therapy protocol — dosed to your labs, not a template.

Solace Wellness Aesthetics

Barbie,
Lash & Brow Artist

Lash Extensions · Brow Design · Facial Waxing

Barbie is Solace's lash and brow specialist — and the artist behind every perfectly placed extension, sculpted arch, and clean wax. She brings a level of precision and care to her work that clients notice from the very first appointment, and keep coming back for.

Certified in classic, hybrid, and volume lash techniques, Barbie approaches every set with a deep understanding of facial structure and natural symmetry. No cookie-cutter results here — each look is customized to your eye shape, lifestyle, and preference. Whether you want a barely-there natural flutter or a full dramatic volume, she builds it exactly to you.

Her brow work is equally precise. From nano brow design to shaping and facial waxing, Barbie sculpts with intention — creating definition that frames the face and lasts.
