One physician setting the standard, and a clinical team our patients have known for years — most of them from before the name on the door changed.
When BodyBrite Cooper City became Ivy Wellness & Aesthetics, the staff did not change. The practice did not move, was not sold and did not start over. The people who have treated our patients for years are the same people treating them today.
That matters more than it sounds. Skin work is longitudinal — a peel series, a microneedling course, a laser hair removal schedule. Being seen by people who remember how your skin behaved last time is not a nice extra; it is most of what makes the plan work.
Every treatment plan at Ivy Wellness & Aesthetics starts with the same physician.

A lot of practices say physician-supervised. It usually means a physician's name is on the license. Here it means something narrower and more useful.
Every new patient is seen by Dr. Lawson before a plan exists. Medical history, anatomy and goals are reviewed together — and where imaging changes the answer, ultrasound is used in the room. Nothing is recommended off a menu.
Injectable and vein treatments are performed by Dr. Lawson, not delegated. That is the whole reason the practice is structured the way it is, and it is the part of the model we will not compromise on.
Facials, peels, dermaplaning, microneedling and laser treatments are delivered by our estheticians and clinical staff — with depths, energies and peel strengths set by the physician, not by the device's default.
Dr. Lawson teaches diagnostic ultrasound to aesthetic injectors from other practices through the Ivy Ultrasound Academy — probe fundamentals, facial vascular mapping, ultrasound-guided procedures and complication assessment.
The standard she teaches to other clinicians is the standard this team works to. It is also why the Ivy Ultrasound Center exists as a part of the practice rather than as a device kept in a cupboard.
Every new patient is assessed by Dr. Ivy Lawson, MD, before a treatment plan is made. Injectable and vein treatments are performed by her. Facial, skin and laser treatments are delivered by the practice's estheticians and clinical staff, to protocols she sets.
Yes. The rebrand changed the name on the door and expanded what the practice offers. The people, the address and the phone number are the same.
No. Injectables are planned and performed by Dr. Lawson. It is the core of how the practice is set up, and it is the difference between a physician-led practice and a physician-supervised one.
