💆‍♀️ The Official Spa of the Arlington Bagel

Tired of one size fits all Botox treatment?

Or maybe you are new to tox and would like to start slow and conservative?

The key to getting a tox treatment perfect for your anatomy and movement goals is for your provider to take the time to actually consult you.

At Blue Aesthetics we do not rush you in and out with your tox. We book a full hour to hear your concerns, give you options, and explain the goals of treatment.

You also have a direct line to your provider to help if you have any questions after your treatment. You matter to us.

A happy Blue Aesthetic client!
