The hardware and the philosophy
A Sciton is a serious laser platform — BBL, Halo, SkinTyte, the resurfacing tools dermatologists fight over. Pacific Coast Aesthetics in Aptos runs one. That alone would make it worth a listing.
What makes it worth a profile is the choice to wrap that medical horsepower in yoga, mindfulness, and nutrition counseling — billed as the only holistic medical aesthetics practice in the Santa Cruz area. It is an unusual pairing, and a deliberate one: the idea that what you do to your skin and what you do to the rest of your life are not separate appointments.
Who runs it
Dr. John Beuerle, MD, leads the team, with physician assistants including April Umek, PA-C, and Audrey Sanfilippo, PA-C, doing the hands-on work. The menu runs from the Sciton lineup to truSculpt body contouring to DIVA.
If you are on the Central Coast and tired of choosing between a clinical practice and one that treats you like a whole person, this is the rare place not asking you to choose.
