Dermal Fillers
Our dermal fillers restore facial volume and reduce wrinkles through non-surgical enhancements. We offer FDA-approved options like Juvederm and Restylane for lips, cheeks, and under-eye rejuvenation. Treatments provide immediate, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
Laser Hair Removal
Permanent hair reduction treatments use advanced laser technology for smooth, hair-free skin. We treat unwanted hair on all body areas with customized sessions for lasting results and improved skin texture.
Hair Restoration
Medical hair restoration solutions address hair loss through surgical and non-surgical approaches. Our PRP and exosome treatments stimulate natural hair growth while transplantation procedures offer permanent solutions for men and women.
Medical Weight Loss
Doctor-supervised weight loss programs combine personalized nutrition plans with medical support for sustainable results. Our approach addresses individual health needs through supervised injections and lifestyle modifications for long-term success.
Photo Facials
Intense Pulsed Light treatments address sun damage, age spots, and rosacea through non-invasive skin rejuvenation. This technology improves skin tone and texture with minimal discomfort and quick recovery periods for refreshed, youthful appearance.

I've been going to see Dr. Stanley for years. She's super professional, knowledgeable, and personable. I usually get the vitamin shots, especially when I'm feeling depleted, and it definitely gives me a boost. I also receive Xeomin and fillers. Dr. Stanley makes you feel comfortable and I always value her expert opinions. Will highly recommend Dr. Stanley and her Med spa!

I don't write alot of reviews unless I feel the Doctor is absolutely and literally what I feel is at the top of her game! Dr. Stanley (Ave Med Spa) is one of these Doctors (and there are very few nowadays). I have been seeing her for many years now and she goes above and beyond for her patients. Her office is easy to find, very comfortable and she puts you at ease right away. I can honestly say, there is no other I will go to. Thank you for being an absolute expert at what you do!

I am so thankful to Dr. Audrey Stanley for performing the Acell PRP treatment on me. It has helped my self confidence a lot. I first had the treatment 2 years ago and was so happy with it that I have had her repeat the treatment. If you are looking for help with your hair loss, look no further, she's kind, caring, and honest.

I waited to see if Dr Audrey Stanley of the AVA Hair Restoration & Spa would follow up on my Stem Cell/ PRP procedure after a few weeks and she did not. So I am writing again to let everyone know that she did not bother to call her patient in need. What really Irritates me is that I spent $3,500 on this procedure and seen no results whatsoever. She claimed I would see results after a few months and I have not seen any. So Guys and Gals, don't waste your money there because for one, it does not work and two, their service is terrible.
