Technology, Vetted First
Only proven technology earns a place here
New devices arrive constantly, and not all of them earn a place in a treatment room. As a regional training center for many device manufacturers, we evaluate the technology first, then bring in only what genuinely serves our patients. What that means for you is simple: your provider chooses the device that fits your skin and your goal, and treats conservatively so you continue to look like yourself.

Fleming Island · Northeast Florida
Skin care built for the Florida sun
Northeast Florida sits under an Extreme UV index from spring through late summer, and sun exposure drives the majority of the visible aging we treat: sun spots, uneven tone, redness, and loss of firmness that our Fleming Island neighbors bring us. Energy treatments here are as much about prevention and repair as they are about correction.
Northeast Florida’s UV index climbs to extreme from spring through late summer, and sun exposure drives much of the collagen loss and visible aging we treat, so care here is as much about prevention as it is about correction.
The practice Fleming Island trusts for advanced skin and laser care. Voted the area’s best medspa six years running, a Lumenis Center of Excellence, cared for from our Medical Spa on Island Lane.

"Kara is truly exceptional at what she does… she takes the time to explain every step of the laser treatment process, which immediately put me at ease… The laser treatment itself exceeded my expectations. The results have been fantastic, and the process was far more comfortable than I anticipated."
"Brittany is the best at fillers, tox and laser. So knowledgeable at what she does and she’s so professional kind and sweet."
"The TriLift treatment was equally impressive. Macy’s meticulous approach targeted the areas I was most concerned about, and the results were remarkable. My skin appeared lifted, firmer, and more youthful without any invasive procedures."

Our Process
How your treatment plan comes together
Start with a comprehensive consultation
Every energy treatment begins with an unhurried consultation. We look at your skin as a whole: tone, texture, redness, laxity, and history. Then we talk through what each device actually does before anything is scheduled.
Match the device to your skin
Because we carry a wide range of technologies, your provider recommends the device that fits your concern and your skin type, not the one machine a practice happens to own. When a treatment is not right for your skin tone or goal, we will tell you.
Treat comfortably and precisely
Your treatment is delivered by an experienced provider in a calm, private room, with comfort measures on hand. We explain each step, and we treat conservatively so the result reads as a healthier version of your own skin.
Follow the results over time
Collagen-driven results take time. Skin-tightening and resurfacing continue to improve over three to six months. We photograph and review your progress together, and refine your plan as your skin responds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lasers & Devices Questions, Answered
How do I know which laser or device treatment is right for me?
The right laser or energy device depends on your specific skin concern and skin tone, and that is exactly what your consultation is for. Sun spots and redness, common here given how much UV exposure the Jacksonville area sees each year, usually respond to light-based treatments like IPL or Laser Genesis; rough texture and acne scars are addressed with resurfacing or microneedling; and loose skin along the jawline or neck is treated with radiofrequency tightening. Most plans combine more than one treatment over time. Because we carry a wide range of technologies, the recommendation is based on your skin, not on a single machine.
Is there downtime after laser or energy skin treatments?
Downtime after a laser or energy treatment ranges from none at all to a short, planned recovery period, depending on which device is used. Many light-based treatments and microneedling sessions have little to no visible downtime, while deeper resurfacing involves an honest recovery window we walk through in advance. Whatever the plan, we explain what to expect day by day so there are no surprises, and we schedule around your life.
How long does it take to see results from laser and energy treatments?
Some changes appear within a week or two, such as clearer tone after a photofacial, while collagen-driven results from skin tightening and resurfacing build gradually over roughly three to six months. Your body needs that time to rebuild collagen and elastin after treatment, so the final effect settles in slowly rather than all at once. We photograph your progress and follow up so you can see the change over time.
Are laser treatments safe for darker skin tones?
Many laser and energy treatments are safe for darker skin tones when the right device and settings are chosen, but not every laser is appropriate for every skin tone, and being honest about that is part of how we practice. Some lasers carry real risk of pigment changes on deeper skin, so we select devices and settings suited to your specific skin. We will tell you plainly if a treatment is not appropriate for you rather than proceed with something that could cause harm.
Who performs laser and device treatments at Pura Vida?
Energy and skin treatments at Pura Vida are performed by our medical aestheticians, led by Andrea Boze, with our nurse practitioners backing the care team on medical and deeper treatments. Health content on this site is medically reviewed by our Medical Director.

The practice has been voted best medspa in the area six years running and was the first Aerolase and SmoothGlo provider in the region, so patients travel from across Clay County for technology not available elsewhere nearby.
