Where Beauty Lights The Way

Vela Aesthetics & Mercantile is a holistic med spa in the South End neighborhood of Charlotte. We devote ourselves to the art of transformative aesthetic treatments, balanced living, and romanticizing life through self care. We look forward to welcoming you in.

The Vela Way

We take pride in our ability to transform your skin and your confidence. With our holistic approach to your skin journey, we are able to see massive results without harsh medications or doctor's visits. At Vela, we don't believe in quick fixes-we believe in true skin transformation. Great skin doesn't come from a one time facial, or one miracle product. It comes from expert guidance, consistent care, and a customized journey curated just for you. So, if you're ready to experience the Vela Way and fall in love with you skin, book your appointment below.

What Our Guests Say...

Ashley Doran

I did acne treatments with her, and she completely transformed my skin. She not only cleared my breakouts but also refined my skincare routine, fixing what I was (and wasn’t) doing. Every product she recommended has been a game-changer.

Hayley Verdeyen

Not only is she a whizz with knowing all the ins and outs of the science behind your skin, but she is quite literally the nicest person I've ever met. If you want a place where you will feel welcomed, inspired, respected, and leave with the juiciest, most dewy skin that'll make your friends jealous, then look no further because Vela is it!

Lili Zay

I have learned so much about my skin and what I need — I don't trust my dermatologist half as much as I trust Elizabeth. The products she carries are excellent. I have tried several of her services and each one is a pleasure and has amazing results for my skin.
