About Our Medical Spa

Situated in the heart of Southside, our medical spa combines physician-led oversight with spa-like amenities. Board-certified, fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeons design every protocol, and our licensed nurse practitioners and medical aestheticians execute each treatment with meticulous precision.

We feature state-of-the-art platforms—laser, radiofrequency, injectables, and more—so you can enjoy a full suite of non-surgical enhancements under one roof.

From the moment you step through our doors, you'll experience personalized attention: digital skin analysis, customized treatment plans, and open dialogue to ensure clear expectations. Southern Surgical Arts prides itself on delivering not just visible results, but a supportive, confidence-boosting journey from consultation to follow-up.

Our Available Medspa Treatments

Our medspa offers a diverse array of services to address every aspect of skin and body rejuvenation:

BBL (Broadband Light)

BBL harnesses broad-spectrum light to target pigment, redness, and superficial vessels while stimulating collagen for tighter, more luminous skin. In just a 20- to 30-minute session, our BBL treatment in can erase sunspots, flush away rosacea, and jump-start a firming response. Ideal for the face, neck, chest, and hands, it requires minimal downtime—most clients resume daily activities the next day, protected by SPF. Over a series of three treatments spaced one month apart, you'll notice progressively brighter, more even skin that glows.

Learn More About BBL

Microneedling

Microneedling creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the epidermis to trigger your body's natural healing cascade. At our medspa, we pair traditional pen-style needling or RF-assisted Morpheus8 to remodel collagen, smooth acne scars, refine pores, and soften fine lines. Sessions last 30–45 minutes under topical numbing, and most clients experience only mild redness and peeling for 24–48 hours. A series of three treatments enhances textural renewal, while the option to add platelet-rich plasma further accelerates youth-restoring growth factors.

Learn More About Microneedling

BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic neuromodulator injections relax targeted facial muscles—softening crow's-feet, forehead furrows, and glabellar “11s” in minutes. Our licensed nurse practitioners follow surgeon-designed injection maps to deliver precise units that maintain natural expression while reducing dynamic wrinkles for three to four months. There's no downtime beyond minor redness, making BOTOX at our medspa perfect for clients seeking a quick, confidence-boosting midday pick-me-up.

Learn More About BOTOX® Cosmetic

Juvéderm

The Juvéderm family of hyaluronic-acid fillers addresses volume loss, fine lines, and contour irregularities. From subtle lip enhancement with Volbella to cheek-lifting support with Voluma, our medspa customizes each formula to your anatomy. Immediate results appear upon injection, with minor swelling subsiding in two days. Depending on the product, outcomes last six to 24 months. Juvéderm treatments restore youthful fullness, smooth nasolabial folds, and refine facial balance with a natural-feeling finish.

Learn More About Juvéderm

Injectables & Fillers

Beyond BOTOX and Juvederm, we offer a comprehensive suite of injectable options—Radiesse, Xeomin, and Allofill—to sculpt, volumize, and rejuvenate. Radiesse's calcium-based microspheres provide immediate lift and collagen stimulation for hands, chin, and cheeks. Each filler is selected and dosed to enhance your unique features, ensuring seamless integration with your facial anatomy and long-term maintenance plans.

Learn More About Injectables & Fillers

Lip Flip & Fillers

Achieve a perfectly balanced pout with our combined lip flip and filler protocols. A lip flip uses micro-doses of neuromodulator to reverse the upper lip, revealing more pink tissue and softening a gummy smile, while hyaluronic-acid fillers add hydration, shape, and subtle volume. Sessions take under 30 minutes, and you'll enjoy minimal downtime—just a refreshed, symmetrical smile that complements the rest of your facial enhancements at our medical spa.

Learn More About Lip Flip & Fillers

Chemical Peels

Our medical-grade chemical peels range from mild lactic-acid brighteners to medium-depth TCA formulations. Each peel is tailored to your skin type, tone, and downtime preference. Peels slough away dead cells, clear pigment, and stimulate collagen, revealing smoother, more even skin texture. Whether you need a quick lunchtime glow or a series of corrective peels for acne scars and sun damage, our licensed aestheticians guide you every step of the way for safe, effective rejuvenation.

Learn More About Chemical Peels

Penis Filler – GIRTH SHOT™

For men seeking a discreet, non-surgical girth boost, our GIRTH SHOT™ uses hyperdilute PMMA microspheres to enhance penile circumference and stimulate collagen. Performed under local anesthesia, the procedure takes about an hour, with only 48 hours of sexual downtime. Results include immediate visual thickening and progressive firmness over months—an innovative addition to our medspa in body-contouring offerings.

Learn More About the Girth Shot™

Skin Tightening

We offer multiple skin-tightening platforms—HALO fractional laser, Morpheus8 RF microneedling, Renuvion helium-plasma, IPL photofacials, and Needle Tox—to address laxity on the face, neck, chest, arms, and body. These treatments heat collagen deep within the dermis, causing immediate fiber contraction and triggering new collagen production over several months. Sessions last 30–60 minutes; most clients experience only mild redness and return to daily life quickly, enjoying progressively firmer, lifted results.

Learn More About Skin Tightening

Cellulite Treatment

Hyperdilute Radiesse™ also excels at smoothing moderate cellulite dimples by reinforcing the dermal matrix with CaHA microspheres. We inject a diluted Radiesse solution into dimpled zones, creating a scaffold for collagen growth that lifts and smooths the skin over time. Treatments take under an hour, require minimal downtime, and can be combined with RF tightening or laser for comprehensive body contouring.

Medical Spa FAQs

What's the difference between a day spa and a medical spa?

A day spa typically offers relaxation services like massages and facials, while a medical spa in Chattanooga is overseen by physicians and licensed medical staff. We employ FDA-cleared lasers, prescription-strength peels, and injectables that require clinical expertise, blending clinical safety with spa-style comfort for results you can't get at a traditional spa.

How do you determine which treatments are right for me?

During your comprehensive consultation, we perform digital skin analysis, review your medical history, and discuss your lifestyle and goals. This allows us to customize a plan—whether it's BBL for pigmentation, microneedling for texture, or a combined approach—that maximizes efficacy while fitting your schedule and budget.

Is there any downtime after most medspa procedures?

Many of our services are designed for minimal disruption. Treatments like BOTOX, injectables, and light chemical peels typically allow you to return to work or errands the same day. More intensive procedures (e.g., HALO laser or deeper TCA peels) may involve 3–5 days of mild redness or flaking, which we'll help you plan around.

Are your treatments safe for sensitive or darker skin tones?

Yes. Our providers have extensive training in treating all Fitzpatrick skin types. We select lasers, peel formulas, and energy settings specifically suited to your skin tone and sensitivity, minimizing risks of hyperpigmentation or irritation while delivering optimal outcomes.

How long do results last, and how often should I return for maintenance?

Duration varies by treatment: neuromodulators like BOTOX last 3–4 months, hyaluronic-acid fillers 6–18 months, and collagen-stimulating procedures like Morpheus8 or Radiesse can last up to a year or more. We'll establish a personalized maintenance schedule at your consultation to keep your skin consistently refreshed.
