Coolpeel
CoolPeel® is a brand new way to safely, and comfortably deliver the benefits of a traditional CO2 resurfacing treatment. By targeting just the superficial layer of skin tissue, damaged skin is removed using heat, revealing younger and healthier looking skin. Many advances have been made to improve the side effects of CO2 treatments but ONLY the CoolPeel® can deliver a fractional ablative treatment without the downtime. There is minimal risk of hyperpigmentation, demarcation or induced infection.
Tetra
Fractional ablation with a CO2 laser uses energy in the form of heat to precisely remove layers of damaged skin, which can be used to treat sun damage, fine and deep wrinkles, scars, and skin lesions. Only Tetra can control its output to deliver high energy in extremely short-pulses to deliver impressive superficial, skin resurfacing results without the lingering heat that would traditionally damage the surrounding skin. The lack of unnecessary heat is why we call it cool – and how you get an immediate aesthetic effect with minimal downtime.
Lasers can address the following conditions:
Sun damage: freckles, sun spots, and hyperpigmentation
Typical treatment sites : Face, Neck, and Chest
Sun damage can manifest in a variety of ways, including freckles, sun spots, hyperpigmentation, redness, and blistering.
Sun exposure stimulates melanocytes in your skin to produce for melanin, which makes the skin look darker. Irregular or uneven increases in melanin production causes irregular coloring of the skin. Sun damage can also cause a permanent change in small blood vessels, giving the skin a mottled, reddish appearnce.

Fine and deep
wrinkles
Typical treatment sites : Face, Neck, and Chest
Fine lines begin to appear around the eyes and in other areas on the face when the skin begins to age, typically along expression lines that appear when you smile, laugh or frown. Fine lines are superficial and may only appear when we make facial expressions. Deep lines or wrickles are more deep-set and persist even when we are not making a facial expression.
As we age and are exposed to sun, the collagen and elastin in the skin starts to break down with the skin losing its strength and elasticity. Fine lines can start appearing at the age of 25. We continue to lose collagen and elastin as we age, the dermis begins to thin, and there is decreased production of natural oils that dries the skin and leads to deep lines or wrinkles.

Acne
Typical treatment sites : Face, Neck, and Chest
Acne can manifest in a variety of ways, including papules, pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and scarring.
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles are plugged with oil from sebaceous glands and dead skin cells.

Large pores
Typical treatment sites : Face
Large pores are typically most prominent on the nose as a result of the sebaceous glands that are under the skin. These glands increase the oiliness of the skin, which further contriubtes to the large appearance of the pores. Makeup can also clog pores and make them appear larger.
The common causes of large pores include high sebum secretion by the sebacious glands, decreased skin elasticity, acne, hormones, sun damage, smoking, and vitamin A deficiency.

Skin laxity and texture
Typical treatment sites : Face
Skin texture problems include bumps, enlarged pores, rough areas, and irregular areas that make your skin look less smooth and luminous.
Uneven or irregular skin texture can be caused by a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface, sun damage, poor skincare routine, diet, genetics, acne, and other factors.

Scars
Typical treatment sites : Face and Neck
A scar is composed of fibrous tissue that typically occurs as the body heals or replaced lost or damaged skin. Several types of scars include: fine-line scars are common after a would or after surgery and usually appear as a raised line, which gradually flattens and fades over time. Deloid scars are an overgrowth of tissue that occurs when too much collagen is produced at the site of a wound. These raise above the skin, are typically discolored, can be painful, and can restrict movement if near a joint. Pitted or sunken scars are often caused by skin conditions such as acne and chickenpox where the skin is depressed rather than raised.
Scars occur as a part of the body's healing process from injury, skin damage or surgery. The tissue repairs itself by growing new tissue to pull the wound closed and fill in any gaps. Scar tissue is made up primarily of collagen.
Tetra; VirtueRF; Microneedling with PRP
Stretch marks
Typical treatment sites : Anywhere
Stretch marks are streaks that appear on the skin in various areas such as the abdomen, breasts, hips, and buttocks.
These occur when there is rapid growth or weight gain that stretches the skin, such as during puberty or pregnancy. Skin can typically stretch due to elastin, but when it is overstretched, the normal production of collagen is disrupted.

I got a facial done by Ms. Morris a few weeks ago. I am trying to heal my skin more natural since i got off my prescriptions. She is absolutely fantastic! I am getting facials done until she says i can get a chemical peel to help with my acne. So excited for it. Even if you don't have skin issues, treat yourself! It is worth it. I wish i could afford to go every week haha i totally would. Edit: not sure if she is "dr or md" but she's a licensed esthetician 🙂

I love it here! I was new to the area and needed someone I can trust with all of my aesthetic needs. I had been to another medspa and wasn't quite impressed. So I scheduled a Botox appointment with Dr. Segura and after discussing my concerns I decided to go with Xeomin instead. Dr. Segura was so gentle and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. My comfort mattered to her! I've never experienced that before. She was so amazing that I decided to schedule an appointment with Michelle. I received a HydraFacial and brow wax and was blown away with how meticulous she is. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Studio R Aesthetics is amazing! I get my lash extensions done by Michelle and she is so wonderful. The extensions are beautiful and long lasting. Dr. Segura and staff are all so sweet and professional. The studio is beautiful and flawless as well!

I had been scheduling my facials with Michelle Morris at her previous place of employment, so was thrilled to “find” her at Studio R. There are many options in Charlottesville for facial treatments, but none I have found with Michelle’s passion for, and commitment to, continuing to educate herself in all things skin care. So glad she landed in such a wonderful environment- I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there and look forward to getting my daughter booked with her as well.

Beautiful office and great service! I felt very comfortable and able to discuss treatment options to choose the best for me. Can’t wait to come back!

I have been coming here even when she was at the old location. The best work done and they ensure that you feel comfortable during any spa treatment.

Dr. Segura is simply amazing! She took all my worries and concerns into account and gave me honest feedback. Not to mention she does an incredible job! I have not felt this good about myself in many years! She gave me back confidence and I could not be more appreciative of her! The staff are amazing and treat you with such kindness! Fantastic place with remarkable results!

Dr. Brandy Segura was very professional and thorough. The office is beautiful!

This place was amazing. I saw Michelle to get a Brazilian sugaring and an eyebrow wax and tint. She is very knowledgeable about what is best for your skin. The services received were phenomenal. All the staff I saw coming in and leaving were very sweet and helpful, as well. 10/10 recommend!

Michelle is the best! I’ve been going to her for years for multiple services and she’s never let me down!

I first came to Studio R Aesthetics last year in September. We had just moved from Los Angeles to C-ville and I was in desperate need of a Botox refresher. With my last Cosmetic Nurse it took me a long time to get the right level of Botox. I'm an actor and need to maintain mobility in my face, yet need to look fresh and still somewhat my (on camera-) age. I was so nervous finding a new Botox professional, but meeting Dr. Segura changed everything! First of all, I think I've never actually had a d o c t o r handle my injections, that was already very comforting. On top of that, Dr. Segura took a lot of time with me, listening and understanding my needs. She introduced me to Xeomin and we decided on a plan to find the right dosage starting with a little and gradually moving to the perfect amount. I was absolutely amazed by the professionalism and consultation. I just came back from filming on a hot TV show and I felt amazing on set. Thank you, Doc! I will see y'all next month. 🙂

It is always such a great, relaxing experience! Everyone is so friendly and I love the results!

I met with the physician Dr. Segura to discuss micro needling and she explained the procedure and answered all of the questions I had so that I felt comfortable and prepared. She addressed the concerns I had with acne scarring and mentioned the micro needling option that would be most effective for my needs. I also got a MIC shot to boost my metabolism and the energy it gave me that week and the following week really helped me manage my stress and not feel exhausted. The staff were really nice and friendly and the office was clean and smelt nice. Definitely a facility I will return to for future services.

I’ve tried several other medical spas for fillers, but none have compared to the excellent knowledge and skill performed at Studio R Aesthetics. My body metabolizes filler very quickly, so I was given suggestions on different products to try that may better suit me - I haven’t had the opportunity to put them to the test yet since I got pregnant before my next appointment was needed, but as soon as I am able to, I’ll be coming back for more! Would definitely recommend!

I have seen Dr. Segura for hormone replacement therapy and weight loss. Her office has been so pleasant and available for questions and the atmosphere is very comforting. I will definitely continue to use Studio R!

Attentive, professional and well appointed med spa. Hydra facial was so moisturizing. I really saw improvement in my skin. Recommend!

Brandy is great!! This was my second visit and I have been very happy with the results!

I have used Studio R for a variety of procedures now. Each time I was given a very thorough consultation and treatment. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable. I have been very pleased with everything so far and look forward to future services here.

Everyone is really helpful and friendly! Dr. Segura is great and has walked me through every step of the treatments and my plan of care.

Brandy is amazing , knowledgeable, reassuring , and gentle. I will never recommend another doctor other than her. Thank you for the love and confidence you always give to me!

Dr Brandy is amazing I have been coming here for 2 years and she has done a beautiful job keeping me looking my best. And she’s a really nice person too! Highly recommend!!

Got lip filler for my first time and loved my results! Feel so much more confident, came back to get them even bigger. Definitely come here to get great results!

Raji was amazing, she took very good care of me. 10/10!! she did a full leg and also a brazilian wax.

Love this place! Dr. Segura is so thoughtful and careful. She has the lightest touch and gives honest assessments. I’m so happy with my treatment and will only come here.

Love the new space! Dr. Segura is very professional and takes a lot of pride in her work. She is a lip magician! Have been going for over a year now, and would recommend her to anyone!

Great doctor, explains everything- very professional and kind. Highly recommend her.

I love Studio R Aesthetics! I drive from Staunton. Would recommend 110%.

I came for a consultation and the atmosphere was so nice, clean and relaxing. Great music and the receptionist was so kind and friendly right away. I was nervous but the provider went over everything I should expect and made sure I felt set with the process I’d journey on! I didn’t feel rushed or judged, they had a great process.

I love this place! They are super professional and know what they are doing!! Highly recommend

Love Dr. Segura!! I've been to her a few times for Xeomin treatments. I will definitely be back soon for other services 🙂

THE BEST experience! Beautiful office with the nicest staff and best doctors! So glad I was referred to this office!

Studio R Aesthetics is amazing! I first went to them to deal with a puffy and red face. Dr. Segura spent a lot of time consulting me and getting to know me and what may be the best for me. Over the course of the consultation, I learned that Dr. Itri was offering peptides to help prevent anti-aging. Before then, I had been purchasing those from a clinic and was looking for a doctor in town. I quickly made an appointment with Dr. Itri. I have been getting my peptides from Studio R for about 6 months now. I highly recommend this place for your health, wellness, fitness goals. When I turned 40 years old, I began to proactively look for ways to continue to be active and not succumb to the normal deterioration of testosterone and natural growth hormones . TRT and peptide therapy have been a game-changer for me to look and feel great. Having these services in Charlottesville from people I can trust makes it just that much better. I will continue to use Studio R Aesthetics for all my bio-identical and aesthetic needs.

Dr. Segura is amazing and so knowledgeable. My consultation was very informative and she explained all options for the areas i am most interested in getting treatment for. The office is beautiful and very clean. I cant wait to start my treatment plan!

I made a appointment with Dr Segura for a consultation and discussed my goals and she was very informative and explained everything. She told me what would be best for me and she worked with my budget. I made a appointment to start my treatments. My first appointment was amazing. Dr Segura explained everything in detail as she did it and made me feel comfortable. She told me to call her if I had any problems. I scheduled a follow up appointment for 2 weeks. I will definitely be back. Thank you very much!

l have visited some spa in orange and charlotsville, when l found Studio.R, to be honest l was a bit doubtful about the place, but when l met dr Brandy she gave me a lot of confidence,and l really like that, She take her time to explain to me and to perform the corresponding treatment,l like it a lot and l think this will be my place for a long time.

Dr. Segura is wonderful and I highly recommend Studio R! Great customer service and it’s always a treat to have an appointment with Dr. Segura.

I went on Saturday for my treatment on Botox. She was so good explaining and so so polite and gentle that I have never experienced a specialist like her I will continue to go and I will recommend my friends to her. I love the way how she did my vote Botox and didn’t have any trouble at all no bruising anything like that and I will keep going back for further more treatments that I would like to get done. Thank you
