Fostering Health and Improving Lives

Beauty Awakened


For years, Dr. Mary Brandon has dreamed of opening a clinic where she could focus on fostering the health, not sickness, of her patients and improving their lives.  Her dream began five years ago after spending significant time in the Cardiac Surgery Operating Room.  She found herself wondering what could be done for the community to keep them healthy and away from the hospital.  Dr. Brandon began researching sleep therapy, preventive cosmetic procedures, and medical treatments for poorly treated conditions such as chronic migraines, fibromyalgia, and depression that ail so many. Her interests grew greater with each area of research and resulted in the founding of Beauty Awakened in January of 2021.
 
As a female entrepreneur and mother of five, Dr. Mary Brandon knows that finding time for oneself can often be a challenge.  Beauty Awakened is here to help find that time for patients, so they will have more time with others in the future.  Dr. Brandon looks forward to educating and giving back to the community as she is still saving lives, just in a proactive way through Beauty Awakened!

Dr Mary Brandon has treatment for both men and women.  Below are two examples of patients that demostrate the complex problems she can solve.

1. A 26-year-old male graduate student was seen in consultation with his mother.  For years, he has struggled with acne, trying multiple modalities with no improvement.  A thorough skin evaluation was performed and the initial treatment consisted of an acne facial and skin care products.  After a series of peels, his skin is in the best condition in years and he continues to follow up routinely during breaks from school.

2. A 42-year-old mother of three arrived at the spa interested in body contouring.  Despite having an active lifestyle, she found it difficult to achieve her desired strength and tone of her abdomen.  She received 6 treatments of the Emsculpt Neo with excellent results.  Her attention then turned to the lines and wrinkles on her face.  With strategically timed Botox filler and microneedling, she continues to age in reverse.

Wonderful and amazing! I was a first-timer with Botox. Everything was explained beautifully and I was able to ask all the questions I had. The staff is warm and welcoming! Dr. Mary made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Dr. Mary even reached out to me a week after to check in…that doesn’t happen often . I am beyond impressed with the results I have received! I look forward to my next appointment!
