As someone who has enjoyed facials and a natural approach to skincare for years, I thought I had a pretty good handle on my routine. But stepping into Med 44 Arcadia, I quickly realized this wasn’t your typical spa—it’s a sleek, modern med spa with a unique focus on creating long-term skin health. I was there for a hydro-facial, but I was also curious about what sets Med 44 apart and whether it might finally be the place to help me step up my skincare game.

My appointment began with Haley Howarth, who couldn’t have been more friendly or knowledgeable. She walked me through the hydro-facial process, explaining every step along the way. I’ve had plenty of facials, but this one felt like it was in a league of its own—cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and antioxidant infusions all combined for a treatment that left my skin feeling deeply refreshed and glowing. Haley’s expertise made it easy to trust that my skin was in the best hands.

Afterward, Haley introduced me to their Beauty Bar, where I discovered clean, high-performance products tailored to support healthy skin. She even color-matched me to a foundation from the Jane Iredale line, which is free of toxins and feels like a second skin. It was the perfect complement to the facial and a reminder that what we put on our skin matters just as much as the treatments we choose.

What makes Med 44 unique is their thoughtful approach to skincare. Founder Holly Mueller has over a decade of experience in aesthetics, and her philosophy is all about healing the skin first. They focus on building a strong foundation with treatments like facials, lasers, and medical-grade skincare before diving into injectables or more advanced options. It’s a natural, step-by-step approach that felt perfectly aligned with my own philosophy.

I’ll admit—I’ve been on the fence for years about trying treatments like lasers or injectables. But after visiting Med 44, I can see how their personalized care and focus on natural, healthy results make them the perfect place to start. Whether you’re new to med spas or just looking to take your routine to the next level, their team has the expertise to guide you through every step.

For now, I’m focused on keeping my skin healthy, but knowing I’ve found a place like Med 44 gives me confidence for when I’m ready to explore more. My hydro-facial left me glowing, but it’s their philosophy and personalized care that truly stand out. If you’re considering stepping up your skincare game, Med 44 is the place to do it.
