OCALA, FL (352today.com) – Aqua Med Spa, part of Ocala Plastic Surgery & Dermatology, offers an elevated experience in skincare and beauty treatments. Unlike traditional spas, Aqua Med Spa is a medical spa (MediSpa) overseen by three board-certified plastic surgeons, allowing for a range of advanced, medically supervised treatments designed to improve skin health, appearance, and overall well-being.
Our experts are Jenna Timmreck, Searra Gonzalez, Lisa Ammirato, and Melissa Tuttle, all aestheticians at Ocala Plastic Surgery & Dermatology.
What Makes Aqua Med Spa Different?
The primary distinction between Aqua Med Spa and a traditional spa lies in the level of medical expertise and the treatments offered. Tuttle calls Aqua Med Spa an “upgrade from the traditional spa. “Traditional spas focus primarily on relaxation and surface-level treatments that make clients feel good temporarily. In contrast, Aqua Med Spa combines relaxation with medically proven treatments that deliver lasting results.

Timmreck says, “With us being a MediSpa and having our three amazing board-certified plastic surgeons supervising, it allows us to offer medical-grade antiaging treatments and skin care products that traditional spas aren’t able to offer.” This includes anti-aging therapies, skincare products, and cosmetic procedures that target deeper skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and more.
Spa Services Offered at Aqua Med Spa
Aqua Med Spa offers a comprehensive menu of services aimed at improving skin texture, tone, and overall health. Some of the most popular treatments include:
- Chemical Peels & Vi Peel: These medical-grade treatments are designed to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, and acne scars. A licensed aesthetician chooses the appropriate peel based on the client’s skin type and concerns.
- Microdermabrasion/Diamond Glow: A non-invasive procedure that exfoliates the skin while simultaneously infusing it with customized serums to leave it glowing and refreshed.
- Microneedling: A minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles to stimulate collagen production. This treatment helps improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and minimize acne scars.
- Dermaplaning: A gentle exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and fine hairs to promote skin renewal and enhance the absorption of skincare products.

- Laser Treatments: Aqua Med Spa offers laser treatments to target issues such as skin tightening, dark spots, and unwanted hair.
- Injectables: Wrinkle relaxers (such as Botox) and dermal fillers are also available for clients looking to smooth wrinkles and restore volume to the face.
- CoolSculpting®: A non-invasive fat reduction treatment available at the Ocala and Villages locations.
Gonzalez also mentions the Glo2Facial. “We offer seven different treatment customizations, using nutrient rich oxyopids,” she explains. “The treatment is hand-picked by your aesthetician, based off your skin tone and texture, and what goals you wish to achieve with your skin.”
What to Expect During Your First Visit
When visiting Aqua Med Spa, patients undergo a thorough consultation and skin analysis. This includes filling out medical paperwork, as the spa operates under medical guidelines. A licensed aesthetician will assess your skin under a magnifying light to determine its needs and discuss your skincare goals. “We will discuss goals and concerns,” explains Ammirato. “You can expect to receive a thorough explanation of the procedures and its benefits.”

Based on this assessment, a personalized treatment plan will be created to target your specific concerns. Many patients can receive their first treatment the same day as the consultation, or they may schedule the procedure for a later date, depending on availability.
