Mechelle Montes
Tampa Bay's Largest, Most Trusted Medical Aesthetic Facility
Mechelle Montes
Medical Aesthetician
With 30+ years in the aesthetics industry, Mechelle has seen just about every skincare trend come and go… and she’s still here proving that great skin never goes out of style.
As one of our resident experts in all things skin, Mechelle is certified in Ultherapy PRIME®, Sofwave®, PRX Topical Biostimulator, HydraFacial®, VI Peel®, Collagen P.I.N. Microneedling, and Laser Hair Reduction. As a Facial Specialist and Body Sculpting Specialist, she loves helping patients achieve healthy, glowing skin and confidence that lasts long after they leave the office.
Patients love Mechelle because she’s equal parts skincare expert, confidence coach, and comedian. She’ll have you laughing one minute and talking collagen the next—all while making sure your treatment plan is exactly what your skin needs.
When she’s not at the office, Mechelle’s house is basically a petting zoo. She’s a proud animal lover with more furry friends than she can count and three beach-loving dogs, Kylo, Dude and Diva who happily keep her on her toes. She also loves fishing, scuba diving, watching live bands, and finding any excuse to be near the water.
Most importantly, Mechelle is a proud mom to her two adult sons, who will always be her favorite people (don’t tell the dogs).
Fun Fact: If Mechelle isn’t talking about skincare, she’s probably talking about her animals… and if she’s not talking about her animals, she’s probably showing you pictures of them.
