Beauty and the Beach

Beauty and the Beach brings a clinician's perspective to aesthetic care in Wilmington, NC. Founded in 2016 by Lisa Ricci, a licensed Physician Assistant with over 12 years of medical experience, the boutique med spa blends aesthetic treatments with a broader focus on mind and body wellness. Lisa's background — including a master's in Physician Assistant Studies from Methodist University and deep familiarity with facial anatomy — informs every treatment offered at the practice. For laser hair removal, Beauty and the Beach uses IPL technology, with the practice also offering IPL-based treatment of pigmented lesions, skin resurfacing, and radiofrequency microneedling under the same roof. The full service menu extends to injectables (Dysport, Botox, dermal fillers, Sculptra, Kybella), HydraFacial, dermaplaning, and customized facials — making it a full-service medical aesthetic practice rather than a single-focus clinic. Lisa is certified to administer Botox and fillers in addition to her PA-C license, and operates with physician supervision. The practice is located at 7220 Wrightsville Avenue, Suite A, in Wilmington. Online booking is available through their website at beautyandthebeachilm.com.
