Read moreLush MedSpa has been downtown Tuscaloosa’s home for aesthetics and medical wellness since 2020. Our clients come to us because we look at the whole picture: your skin, your hormones, your energy, and how you feel walking back out the door. That is why we built one place where a head spa appointment, a laser resurfacing session, injectable treatments, and your hormone and weight loss labs can all happen under the same roof, with a team that already knows your history.
Our wellness side offers a wide range of services such as medically supervised weight loss and hormone therapy to IV therapy, intimate treatment for men and women, the Restora EMS chair for pelvic floor strengthening and bladder leakage, and hair restoration. It is all under one company and all handled by the same people, so nobody is asking you to repeat your history twice. Our founders and leadership team at Lush MedSpa and Lush Wellness is dedicated to providing excellent and safe care to each and every person that walks in the door. We love our community and are a big part of everything Tuscaloosa has to offer. You will often find us mingling at college activities, music events, open houses, and of course, BAMA football gatherings.

Meet our founders Lori Jones, Joe and Amy Shirley
At Lush MedSpa in Tuscaloosa, our physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, licensed estheticians, and medical professionals are here to help you look and feel your best without ever losing what makes you uniquely you. Injectables keep us busy, and our physicians, Dr. Higginbotham, Dr. Oliver, and Dr. Christensen, keep our clients happy. We carry the full Allergan, Galderma, and Merz lines along with biological fillers and PDO threads for lift and collagen support. Whether you are a student getting ready for bid day, a bride counting down, or someone who has been coming to us since we opened, you get a plan that fits where you are. From there, CoolPeel and Virtue RF together are our go-to for glowing skin at any age, alongside laser hair removal and body contouring. Whatever you come in for, we send you home with medical-grade skincare that keeps the results going between visits.

516 19th Avenue in downtown Tuscaloosa, minutes from campus and an easy drive from Cottondale, Duncanville, and Moundville.
Since May of 2020. We have been serving Tuscaloosa for six years.
Our staff includes three physicians, Dr. Higginbotham, Dr. Oliver, and Dr. Christensen, along with nurse practitioners, nurses, and licensed estheticians. Which provider you see depends on the service.
Most Med-Spas do aesthetics or wellness. We do both, with the same team. Your injectables, your hormone labs, and your weight loss plan are handled by people who can see how they connect.
A conversation first. You will sit down with a provider, talk through what has been on your mind, and get honest answers about what will help and what will not. Plenty of clients leave the first visit with a plan and no treatment, and that is perfectly fine.
Yes. Men are a meaningful part of our injectable, hormone, weight loss, hair restoration, and rejuvenation practice. We also have a men’s clinic here at Lush, and our sister practice PRIMETIME Men’s Clinic serves men who prefer a men’s only setting.
Book online through our scheduling link, call us, or send a message through the site and we will get back to you.
Two to three weeks is a safe bet. Home game weekends, rush, formal season, and the run-up to graduation fill up fastest, so plan ahead for those.
Aesthetic services are not covered by insurance. On the wellness side, some services and labs may be insurance based, though those are specific and depend on your situation. Ask our providers and we will tell you honestly where you stand.
Both. We accept Bama Cash and work with Cherry, CareCredit, and PatientFi. Applications and details are on our payment plans page.
Yes to both. Memberships lower the cost of maintenance treatments over the year, and we run specials plus Injectable Days and Tox and Filler Pop-Ups throughout the year.
The full Allergan, Galderma, and Merz lines, which means Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin on the tox side plus the complete filler range from each, along with biological fillers and PDO threads.
Not here. The goal is results that look like you on a good day. If you want subtle, say so and we start conservatively. You can always add more later.
Two weeks is the safe window. That allows tox to fully set in and any bruising or swelling from filler to resolve.
Yes. We participate in Alle, ASPIRE, and Xperience, so you earn points on treatments you are already booking. Ask at your visit which program applies.
More than a dozen devices, including the Alma Harmony, Clarity II, Tetra CO2 with CoolPeel, and Pico. Having that many means we choose the right device for your skin and your concern rather than fitting you to whatever we own.
With the right device and the right settings, yes, and we choose accordingly. That is exactly why we carry more than one laser. Never let anyone treat your skin with a device that is not appropriate for it.
They work at different depths. CoolPeel resurfaces the surface of your skin while Virtue RF delivers radiofrequency energy below it, so together they address texture and tone at the same time. It has become our most requested combination for glowing skin at any age.
Something with no downtime. HydraFacial, DiamondGlow, and PRX DermPerfexion are our usual picks for looking fresh on short notice. A VI Peel is a different animal, since the skin actually peels, so give that one at least two weeks before the event.
BHRT uses hormones that are structurally identical to the ones your body makes, prescribed to bring levels back into a healthy range. We offer it for both men and women through pellets, oral, and topical creams, and every plan starts with lab work rather than a guess.
Pellets, oral, and creams, or a combination when that works better. Each has different rhythms in how it is dosed and how it feels day to day, and the right one depends on your labs, your schedule, and your preference. We are not going to steer you toward one method because it is the only one we do.
Fatigue that sleep does not fix, trouble sleeping in the first place, mood changes, brain fog, low libido, weight gain that does not respond to the usual efforts, and changes in body composition. Any of those can have a hormone component behind them.
With bloodwork and a conversation. We look at your labs alongside your symptoms and your history, because numbers alone do not tell the whole story and neither do symptoms alone.
Yes, as part of our hormone practice. It begins with lab work and a provider evaluation, and we follow your levels over time rather than setting it and forgetting it.
No. Perimenopause often starts years earlier than people expect and brings its own symptoms. If something feels off in your thirties or forties, it is worth checking rather than waiting until you hit a certain age.
Some people notice changes within a few weeks, others take longer, and dosing often needs adjusting along the way. That is why follow-up appointments and repeat labs are part of the plan, not an upsell.
Yes. That means lab work, a provider-built plan, and follow-up along the way rather than a product handed over at the front desk.
Oral and injectable options, chosen based on your labs, your history, and what fits your life. Some people do better with a daily oral routine and others prefer a weekly injection, and that is a real conversation rather than a default.
An initial evaluation, lab work, a plan built around your health history and goals, and ongoing check-ins to adjust as you go. The follow-up is the part that makes it work, and it is built into the program rather than sold separately.
Adults who have tried on their own and hit a wall, or who suspect something metabolic or hormonal is working against them. Your provider will review your labs and history and tell you honestly whether this is the right path.
Yes, and they often should be. Hormones and metabolism are connected, and treating one while ignoring the other is why a lot of people plateau. Because both run through the same practice, your providers can see the whole picture.
Non-surgical sexual wellness treatments for both women and men, aimed at function, comfort, and confidence. Options are discussed privately with a provider who will review your history first.
Completely. These consultations happen behind a closed door with a provider. Nothing about them is discussed at the front desk, and you never have to explain why you are here to anyone but your provider.
No. Concerns about function, comfort, and confidence show up at every age, and they are often connected to hormones, stress, childbirth, or medication. Coming in earlier usually means simpler answers.
A non-invasive pelvic floor treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to trigger thousands of deep muscle contractions in a single session, far more than voluntary Kegels can produce. You stay fully clothed and comfortably seated the whole time. It is FDA cleared for strengthening pelvic floor muscles and for urinary incontinence in both men and women.
Adult men and women dealing with stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence, or with pelvic floor weakness related to aging, childbirth, menopause, or prostate surgery. Your provider will confirm whether it is appropriate for you.
Sessions run about 30 minutes with no prep and no downtime, so you can come in and go straight back to your day. Most people notice improvement after a few sessions, and a series is recommended for lasting results.
IV therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream, which means your body does not have to work through digestion to absorb them. Clients come in for hydration, energy, and recovery support.
The same therapy, brought to you. Whether that is your home, your office, or a hotel room after a long game day weekend, ThrIVe comes to where you already are.
Most sessions run under an hour and there is no downtime afterward. You sit comfortably while it runs, and you can go straight back to whatever is next.
Professional-grade skincare from Alastin, Jan Marini, SkinMedica, Nu Skin, Revision Skincare, and Riman, along with Ariv, Lush’s own line. We add new lines as they prove themselves, so ask what is on the shelf when you come in.
Nutrafol for hair, skin and nails, and nutraceuticals from Evexias HRT for hormone balance, metabolism, and overall wellness. We also offer additional supplements that are not mentioned here. Our providers will make specific recommendations based on your labs and check for interactions with anything you already take.
