Yes. M2 Medical Spa & Wellness at 8430 Rea Rd, Suite E sits about five minutes from Rea Farms and Blakeney in south Charlotte, inside the 28277 ZIP code. It is a physician-supervised, nurse-administered medical spa offering injectables, lasers, facials and wellness treatments, open Monday through Saturday except Wednesday.

M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Ballantyne, Charlotte (28277) prices neurotoxin by the unit: Dysport at $4.50 per unit and Jeuveau at $13 per unit. Because Dysport units are about one-third the strength of Botox units, a typical 150-unit Dysport treatment costs roughly $525 — comparable to $10–11 per Botox unit.

All three are FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injectables that soften expression lines. Dysport tends to diffuse slightly wider, which suits broad forehead areas; Jeuveau is formulated purely for cosmetic use; Botox has the longest clinical track record. M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Charlotte carries all three and matches the product to the treatment area.

Because a Dysport unit is not equivalent to a Botox unit. Roughly two-and-a-half to three Dysport units deliver the effect of one Botox unit. So Dysport at $4.50 per unit at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Charlotte works out to about $11–13 per Botox-equivalent unit — competitive, not a third of the price.

Very little. Neurotoxin is delivered through a few injections with a very fine needle, and most clients describe a brief pinch lasting a second or two. The appointment at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness takes about 15 to 20 minutes, requires no anesthesia, and you can drive yourself home immediately afterward.

Most people notice softening three to five days after treatment, with the full effect visible at about two weeks. Results are best judged at that two-week point rather than earlier, and dosing can then be reviewed and adjusted at your next appointment at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness.

Neurotoxin results at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Charlotte typically last three to four months, though duration varies with metabolism, dose and treatment area, and a first cycle is sometimes slightly shorter. Most people schedule maintenance treatments around the three-to-four-month mark to keep results consistent.

Preventative neurotoxin is usually started in the late twenties or early thirties, once lines are visible in motion but not yet etched at rest. Treating at that stage keeps them from deepening. M2 Medical Spa & Wellness assesses whether a low preventative dose or a skin treatment is the better first step.

A lip flip is a small neurotoxin dose placed in the muscle above the upper lip so it rolls slightly outward, revealing more pink lip without adding volume. It costs $125 at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Charlotte, lasts roughly six to twelve weeks, and is often combined with filler.

Dermal filler is $750 per syringe at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Ballantyne, Charlotte. One syringe is typical for lip enhancement, while cheeks, jawline or chin often need two or more for a balanced result. Sculptra, a collagen stimulator used for broader facial volume, is also $750.

Dermal filler is hyaluronic acid gel that adds volume immediately and can be dissolved if needed. Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid that stimulates your own collagen gradually over several months across a series of sessions. Both are $750 at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness; the choice depends on your goal and timeline.

Hyaluronic acid filler generally lasts six to eighteen months depending on the product, where it is placed and how quickly you metabolize it. Lips move constantly and sit at the shorter end; cheeks and jawline last longest. Sculptra builds gradually and results can last two years or more.

Not when it is dosed conservatively and placed to restore structure rather than add bulk. Overfilled results generally come from too much product placed too quickly, not from filler itself. At M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Charlotte, treatment plans are built in stages so results can be assessed before more is added.

PRP — platelet-rich plasma — is concentrated from a small sample of your own blood and injected to stimulate collagen or, in the scalp, hair growth. M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Charlotte offers PRP injections for face or hair at $499, and pairs PRP with SkinPen microneedling for $650.

HydraFacial at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Ballantyne, Charlotte ranges from $199 to $325 depending on the protocol and boosters selected. The treatment cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates in a single 30 to 60 minute session with no downtime, which makes it a common choice before events.

HydraFacial ($199–$325) suits congestion, dullness and pre-event glow with no downtime. A customized facial ($199–$325) is built around specific concerns. A chemical peel ($199–$275) works deeper on texture, pigment and acne scarring but involves several days of visible peeling. M2 Medical Spa & Wellness recommends based on a skin assessment.

Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade to remove dead surface skin and fine vellus hair, leaving skin smoother and makeup sitting better. It is $75 at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Charlotte, takes about 30 minutes, has no downtime, and does not cause hair to grow back thicker or darker.

ToxBooster at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness combines a VI chemical peel with a neurotoxin treatment in a single $740 appointment. The peel resurfaces tone and texture while the neurotoxin softens expression lines, addressing the surface and muscular causes of ageing together rather than across two separate visits.

Every four to six weeks matches the skin’s natural turnover cycle, which is the usual maintenance interval for facials at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Charlotte. Active concerns such as acne or pigmentation may warrant a shorter series of closely spaced treatments first, then a move to regular maintenance.

It depends on depth. A light peel may cause two or three days of mild flaking. A medium-depth VI-type peel typically means three to seven days of visible peeling, peaking around days three and four, so a peel at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness is best scheduled at least two weeks before an event.

M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Charlotte stocks SkinBetter Science, SkinCeuticals, Hydrinity and Colorescience, priced from $30 to $195. Medical-grade formulations carry higher concentrations of active ingredients than drugstore products and are dispensed through a clinic, so products are matched to your treatment plan rather than sold as a fixed regimen.

Laser hair removal at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Ballantyne, Charlotte runs $99 to $329 per session depending on the size of the area treated — smaller areas such as the upper lip or underarms at the lower end, larger areas such as legs or back at the higher end.

Most areas need six to eight sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, because the laser only affects hair in its active growth phase. Coarse dark hair responds fastest. Occasional maintenance sessions after the initial series are common, and M2 Medical Spa & Wellness plans the schedule at consultation.

IPL — intense pulsed light — targets brown spots, sun damage, redness and broken capillaries using broad-spectrum light that pigment and blood vessels absorb. It is $275 per session at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Charlotte, involves minimal downtime, and usually takes a series of about three treatments for even tone.

Frax 1550 is non-ablative fractional laser resurfacing that treats fine lines, acne scarring, texture and pigment by creating microscopic columns of controlled injury the skin repairs with new collagen. It is $650 at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness and typically involves two to four days of redness and swelling.

Autumn and winter. Laser and IPL leave treated skin more sensitive to UV, and sun exposure before or after treatment raises the risk of pigment change. Booking a laser series at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness during the cooler months makes sun avoidance easier, and daily SPF is required throughout.

Medical SkinPen microneedling is $399 at M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Ballantyne, Charlotte. SkinPen combined with PRP — your own platelet-rich plasma applied to the treated skin — is $650. Both stimulate collagen production to improve texture, enlarged pores, fine lines and acne scarring.

PRP adds your own growth factors to the microchannels the SkinPen creates, which typically means faster healing and a stronger collagen response — most useful for acne scarring, deeper texture and thinning skin. For general tone and pore refinement, standard SkinPen at $399 is usually sufficient.

Expect redness resembling mild sunburn for one to three days, followed by light flaking. Most concerns need a series of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, then maintenance once or twice a year. M2 Medical Spa & Wellness builds the series into your plan at consultation.

NAD+ is a coenzyme central to cellular energy production that declines with age. M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Charlotte offers NAD+ as intramuscular injections and IV infusions, priced from $65 to $185 depending on format and dose. Clients typically pursue it for energy, mental clarity and recovery support.

An intramuscular NAD+ injection takes a few minutes and sits at the lower end of M2 Medical Spa & Wellness’s $65 to $185 range. An IV infusion delivers a larger dose directly into the bloodstream over a longer appointment and costs more. Injections suit routine maintenance; IVs suit periodic higher-dose sessions.

At M2 Medical Spa & Wellness in Charlotte, a first visit commonly lands between $199 and $750: roughly $199 to $325 for a HydraFacial or customized facial, around $450 to $550 for a full neurotoxin treatment, and $750 per syringe for dermal filler. Every price is published, not quoted only in person.
