SERAPHINE
Wellness & Beauty
A Reimagining of a health and beauty spa that combines modern and natural treatments for the total inner and outer body experience
Editor: Sarah Curtis
Design: MODE Studio
Nestled within the bustling fashionable Las Olas in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the team at Seraphine Wellness & Beauty have built a Med Spa that is sure to become a premier destination for connoisseurs of high-end beauty and internal medicine treatments. After an extensive renovation of the space and the addition of numerous new equipment and treatment rooms, Seraphine has in effect created a one-stop shop where clients get a comprehensive patient interview, followed by their choice of treatments that target the internal causes of any issues using both modern and natural approaches. This is followed with a wide selection of treatments for the external and visible body from head to toe.
You know you are in for a special experience when you first come in and you are greeted with a glass of champagne or other wine from a curated selection. You can experience being pampered with a foot and neck massage and facials in a very clinically clean and bright but yet artsy environment. We recently visited Seraphine to learn more first-hand about the services they provide in an interview for Mode Lifestyle Magazine.

MODE: Joseph and Raven, we want to thank you for giving us a tour of your magnificent new Seraphine Wellness & Beauty Spa location in Las Olas, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The transformation work including the number of rooms and range of equipment and beauty and health treatments you will be offering is simply staggering. What were the main factors in your decision to take on this impressive project?
SERAPHINE: Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to visit us! Our vision for Seraphine Wellness & Beauty is rooted in the belief that true beauty comes from a holistic approach that integrates cutting-edge anti-aging services with time-tested remedies. When we set out to redesign our new location in Las Olas, we wanted to create a sanctuary where our clients could experience the best of both worlds. This means providing innovative treatments, like advanced body sculpting and IV vitamin therapy, alongside traditional practices that have stood the test of time, such as holistic skincare and natural healing therapies. The decision to embark on this project was driven by a few key factors:
We believe that optimal health and beauty are achieved when the body, mind, and spirit are in harmony. By combining state-of-the-art anti-aging technologies with traditional wellness practices, we aim to offer a comprehensive approach that is at the same time specific to the unique needs of each person. This dual approach allows us to cater to a diverse clientele, offering personalized treatments that can range from the latest in cosmetic science, to the most organic wellness practices.
We also wanted to create a space that goes beyond offering services, to providing a transformative experience. Our goal is to make every visit to Seraphine a journey towards enhanced well-being where clients feel pampered, rejuvenated, and valued- these are the things that make us truly beautiful.
Lastly, we are passionate about contributing to the health and wellness of our local community, so by establishing state-of-the-art services in Las Olas we hope to make a positive impact on the lives of our clients and set a new standard for wellness and beauty services in the industry as a whole.
MODE: Many celebrities, including many of our readers, inform us that they use Botox regularly to reduce the appearance of wrinkle lines on their faces. Although Botox and Dysport both come from botulinum toxin, a neurotoxic protein that is safe when used in small amounts, we find that many of our readers who previously used only Botox have been saying that they now use Dysport. Can you explain why Dysport is growing in popularity even though Botox is still clearly the main option?
SERAPHINE: Certainly! The growing popularity of Dysport, despite Botox being the long-standing favorite, is an interesting trend that highlights the evolving preferences in the field of aesthetic treatments. Firstly, it’s important to understand that both Botox and Dysport are derived from botulinum toxin and function similarly by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for wrinkles and fine lines. However, there are a few distinct advantages that have contributed to Dysport’s rising popularity among our clients and, evidently, among celebrities as well:
2. Natural-looking results: Dysport tends to diffuse more easily over a larger area, which can provide a more natural look, especially in larger treatment areas like the forehead. This broader spread reduces the risk of a “frozen” appearance, allowing for more natural facial expressions while still effectively smoothing out wrinkles.
3. Longer lasting effects: some studies as well as many of our client experiences suggest that Dysport’s effects may last slightly longer than Botox. For individuals looking for extended results with fewer touch-up appointments, Dysport offers a compelling advantage.
4. Individualized treatment plans: at Seraphine we emphasize personalized care, understanding that each client’s needs and desired outcomes are unique. The choice between Botox and Dysport ultimately depends on individual factors, and our skilled practitioners work closely with clients to determine the best option for their specific goals.
5. Client preferences: we take pride in educating our clients about the nuances of each treatment option. As more people become informed about the subtle differences between Botox and Dysport, they are empowered to make choices that align with their personal preferences and aesthetic objectives.
Ultimately, the increasing popularity of Dysport reflects a broader trend towards personalized and nuanced aesthetic treatments. As with all our treatments and services, we are committed to offering a range of cutting-edge options that ensure our clients achieve results that best suit their individual needs. Thank you for the opportunity to shed light on this development in the world of aesthetic treatments! We are always here to guide our clients through their beauty journey with the latest and most effective solutions.

MODE: Weight loss or rather weigh management is one of the subjects that our readers at MODE seem to be most interested in. Recently there has been a growing interest in weight loss injections or oral medications and we see news articles of many celebrities getting great results. Can you tell us which treatments you offer and the differences between them?
SERAPHINE: Unlike the fast approach and one size fits all weight loss programs that can be commonly found today, our vision for weight management is to provide a comprehensive and personalized approach. We understand that everyone’s journey is unique, and we strive to offer treatments that are not only effective but also support long-term health and well-being. We are thrilled to be at the forefront of combining modern medical treatments with personalized wellness practices that ensure our clients achieve their weight management goals in a balanced and sustainable way.
Our injectable treatments include Semaglutide (Ozempic®) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®), which both help to regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. Semaglutide mimics a hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite and food intake, and Tirzepatide additionally helps slow down the emptying of the stomach, which promotes a feeling of fullness. Both aid in blood sugar regulation and offer the potential for significant weight reduction.
In addition to the support that these peptide medications provide, we integrate holistic practices to support weight management, including nutritional counseling, personalized dietary plans that align with individual health goals and lifestyles, and fitness programs that include tailored exercise routines designed to maximize weight loss and overall health. We even offer mindfulness techniques such as yoga, meditation, and stress reduction therapies to support mental and emotional well-being, which are crucial for sustainable weight management.
MODE: You provide a range of facial treatments including massages. Do you have any skincare services that, apart from the appearance, can actually improves the health of the skin over a period of time?
SERAPHINE: One of our standout treatments is Ultherapy® (Ulthera®), a cutting-edge, non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. This not only lifts and tightens but also improves the skin’s health and resilience over time. By combining this advanced technique with our holistic skincare approach, we ensure lasting results that go beyond surface beauty, promoting overall skin wellness.
MODE: A treatment that you provide, PRP Facial (Platelet-Rich Plasma), has caused a lot of excitement as we were doing our research on skincare. Could you please talk more about this and what makes it so special?
SERAPHINE: Our PRP Facial (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment is a perfect example of our commitment to combining cutting-edge techniques with time-tested remedies. PRP involves using your own blood platelets to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin. It’s natural, effective, and boosts cell regeneration, resulting in a radiant, youthful glow. This treatment not only improves the skin’s appearance but also enhances its health from within, making it a standout choice for those seeking holistic and transformative skincare solutions.
It’s crucial to find an experienced provider for PRP treatments. The process involves drawing blood, separating the platelets, and carefully injecting them into the skin. Expertise is essential to ensure the procedure is done safely, effectively, and with the highest standards of hygiene. An experienced provider like our experts here at Seraphine will also customize the treatment to your specific skin needs, maximizing benefits and minimizing risks to ensure you achieve the best possible results.
MODE: Your Body Contouring packages include so many different treatments that it seems like the equivalent of taking your car in for a full service. Who would you recommend these services to and what would you say are the main benefits or expected outcomes?
SERAPHINE: Absolutely! Our body contouring packages are designed to offer a more comprehensive approach to achieving your ideal physique- sort of a full-service tune-up for your body. Especially for those who have recently lost or are currently losing weight, we recommend these treatments to enhance body shape- whether for fat reduction, muscle toning, or skin tightening. The main benefits include a more sculpted appearance, improved muscle definition, and increased skin elasticity. Our advanced techniques, such as non-invasive fat melting or radiofrequency therapy, combined with treatments such as lymphatic drainage or cosmetic acupuncture, ensure long-lasting and natural-looking results. By addressing multiple aspects of body sculpting in one monthly package, we provide a transformative experience that boosts confidence and overall well-being.
MODE: We were intrigued to discover that you also provide acupuncture services. Can a customer book acupuncture on the same visit in combination with other services and is there any benefit of combining multiple treatments?
SERAPHINE: We stand by the power of integrative wellness, and acupuncture is a key part of that. Yes, clients can absolutely book acupuncture alongside other treatments during the same visit- in fact, many of our packages offer the option for a set of sessions included with the treatment plan. Combining acupuncture with services like massage, facials, or body contouring can enhance overall results.
Acupuncture promotes relaxation, improves circulation, releases blockages, and balances the body’s energy, which can amplify the benefits of other treatments. Our integrated approach not only addresses surface concerns but also supports deeper healing and well-being, providing a truly rejuvenating and comprehensive experience.
MODE: Sometimes people just want to go to a spa to reduce stress from a hard day at work or to recover generally from being in stressful environments, and do not have a specific treatment in mind. If someone came in looking exhausted and asked for help, how would you assess them and what might you offer?
SERAPHINE: We definitely understand the need to unwind and de-stress! For someone looking exhausted and seeking relief, our approach begins with a personalized assessment to understand their specific needs and stress points. Our expert team would recommend a combination of relaxing treatments tailored to rejuvenate their mind and body. Our monthly membership packages promote and encourage consistent self-care, which is essential for good health and helps us avoid having the signs of stress show up through our skin and hair. We might suggest starting with a soothing massage to relieve tension, followed by a hydrating facial to refresh the skin.
For a fun and lively experience, they could join us for Seraphine Sundays, where they can enjoy light brunch snacks, mimosas, and live music. Alternatively, they could visit us on Ladies Night Wednesdays for a delightful evening with friends, sipping wine cocktails while getting their nails done. These special days are designed to create a joyful and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for melting away stress and recharging!
MODE: Many people begin to experience some form of hair loss or hair thinning with age or perhaps because of diet or other issues. Do you have any services that can bring some life back to hair and make it more healthy?
SERAPHINE: At Seraphine we offer specialized treatments to address hair loss and promote healthier, more vibrant hair. Our nine-step Korean Head Spa service is a luxurious, relaxing one- to two-hour experience that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes the scalp, stimulating hair growth and improving overall hair health.
The experience begins with a detailed scalp analysis to determine specific issues that may be affecting hair growth, such as clogged pores or an inflamed root shaft. This is followed by a calming aromatherapy scalp massage to relax and soothe the senses, then a thorough cleanse to remove impurities and excess oil from the scalp. A gentle exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and promote a healthy scalp environment, followed by a detoxifying treatment to purify the scalp and stimulate hair follicles. After applying a nutrient-rich mask to deeply nourish and hydrate the scalp, warm steam opens pores and enhances the absorption of nutrients. A revitalizing tonic is applied to invigorate the scalp and promote hair growth. The experience is finished off with a follow-up scalp analysis and optional blow-dry, leaving your hair looking and feeling revitalized. This comprehensive treatment not only enhances hair health but also provides a deeply relaxing and indulgent spa experience.
In addition to this, we offer signature IV vitamin and peptide drips designed to assist with hair nourishment and growth. Our drips deliver essential nutrients directly to the scalp and hair follicles, enhancing their strength and vitality. By combining these innovative techniques, we help our clients achieve thicker, healthier hair and renewed confidence.
MODE: One of the main things that makes your wellness spa stand out, in our opinion, is your dedication to treating both your client’s internal health as well as their external health and beauty. Bearing this in mind, we would like to know what services you have that can help improve libido and vitality for both men and women, since this is an area of great concern to many even though it might not be discussed openly as much as it should be?
SERAPHINE: Thank you for that recognition! We are dedicated to enhancing both internal health and external beauty, understanding that true beauty and health encompasses the whole person. To address concerns about libido and vitality, we offer several specialized services designed to support both men and women: personalized hormone balancing treatments to regulate and optimize hormone levels, which play a crucial role in libido and overall energy; tailored IV vitamin drip nutrient infusions that boost energy, improve mood, and enhance sexual health; cutting-edge peptide therapies to improve libido, stamina, and overall vitality; and stress reduction techniques that include services like acupuncture and mindfulness practices to reduce stress, which is a common factor in decreased libido. Our approach ensures that we address the root causes of vitality concerns, promote overall well-being over quick fixes, and encourage a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle in general.
MODE: Like in many things, prevention is often better than cure. Do you provide packages that customers can purchase or perhaps mix-and-match a range of services that they can use on a recurring basis so that they can preserve the gains they’ve made after visiting and getting initial treatments at your spa?
SERAPHINE: Absolutely! At Seraphine we believe the power of prevention assists in maintaining long-term beauty. We offer customizable packages and monthly memberships that allow clients to mix-and-match a range of services that suit their unique needs, ensuring they can maintain and enhance the benefits of their initial treatments. Our packages include monthly wellness subscriptions that offer regular access to treatments like massages, facials, and IV drips to keep body and skin in optimal condition; anti-aging packages that include advanced treatment sessions of Ulthera®, PRP facials, and peptide therapy to maintain youthful skin and vitality; and for our more organic clientele we offer health subscriptions that combine nutritional counseling, fitness programs, and stress reduction techniques to support overall health and well-being. Our packages are designed to be flexible, which allows clients to tailor treatments to their unique needs and goals, which can vary over time and may change depending on the season. By committing to a regular self-care routine, our clients enjoy sustainable results that accumulate and magnify over time.
MODE: You already have such an incredible range of services that we have not even been able to cover all in this review. Can you tell us of any other plans or additions of services or products you may have for the future?
SERAPHINE: Certainly! We are always looking to expand and enhance our offerings to better serve our clients. Some exciting plans and additions we have for the future include:
-A line of exclusive, high-performance skincare products featuring the latest in anti-aging and regenerative ingredients.
-Wellness retreats that combine our spa services with immersive experiences in meditation, yoga, and holistic nutrition.
-Comprehensive health programs that include genetic testing, personalized wellness plans, and integrative treatments to address specific health concerns.
-Launching a dedicated line of services and products tailored specifically for men’s health and grooming needs.

Overall, the creation of each of our locations is a labor of love and dedication to advancing the field of holistic wellness and beauty. We are excited to offer a space where our clients can explore and experience the synergy of modern advancements and traditional wisdom on their journey to feeling and looking their best.
