/ About Us

Welcome to Love Yourself Aesthetics & Lifestyle (LYA&L)—a professional, results-oriented medspa where your care, confidence, and comfort come first. Founded as a solo-practitioner practice, LYA&L offers a curated selection of aesthetic treatments that support natural rejuvenation and overall wellness.

Our services include neurotoxin and dermal filler injections, biostimulatory fillers, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the face and scalp, microneedling, PDO monofilament threads, dermaplaning with gua sha, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and Dermafuse ion technology. Every procedure is thoughtfully selected to encourage the skin’s own healing and collagen-building abilities—supporting long-term, sustainable results.

At LYA&L, we focus on enhancing your natural features—not altering them. By combining advanced techniques with a deep understanding of skin health and aging, we create individualized treatment plans that are safe, effective, and aligned with your goals. We also educate clients on how nutrition, lifestyle, and internal wellness contribute to radiant, healthy skin.

Whether you’re new to aesthetics or simply seeking a more personalized and natural approach, you can expect a professional experience built on trust, integrity, and compassionate care.

Mission

Our mission is to provide high-quality, medically-guided aesthetic treatments that promote natural beauty, inner wellness, and self-confidence.

At Love Yourself Aesthetics & Lifestyle, self-care is not just a service it’s a standard of care we uphold in every treatment and every interaction.

Vision

Our vision is to become Monmouth County’s trusted destination for facial rejuvenation and lifestyle-focused aesthetics. We aspire to be known for our natural, regenerative approach, our clinical excellence, and our ability to make every client feel valued, educated, and confident in their skin.
