You are weighing laser lipo against CoolSculpting, and that choice belongs in a consult. So the first practical decision is the sequence of people you talk to: who do you phone first, and what does each one need to tell you?
How the order was built
Providers here are ordered by Google rating, read from each business's Google Maps profile. On that measure New Beauty Company holds a 5 rating across 332 reviews, and the table below picks up at third place and runs through sixth place.
Four names to phone, third through sixth
| Provider | Place in the order | Google Maps category | Street |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radiant Skin & Laser | third | Medical spa | Tavernier Dr |
| Waves Aesthetics | fourth | Day spa | Sawgrass Dr W |
| Shea Esthetics PV | fifth | Skin care clinic | Fairfield Blvd |
| Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery | sixth | Plastic surgery clinic | Ponte Vedra Park Dr |
What each row adds
Radiant Skin & Laser holds a 5 rating across 122 reviews, and Google files it as a Medical spa. Ask what that means in practice for the two options you are comparing.
Waves Aesthetics holds a 5 rating across 76 reviews and sits under Day spa, so confirm early which treatments it performs on site.
Shea Esthetics PV also shows a 5 rating across 13 reviews. Its category is Skin care clinic, and its record is short.
Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery has a 4.9 rating across 994 reviews under Plastic surgery clinic. Its score is a notch lower and its review pool is by far the deepest of the four.
Two questions to put to every provider
- Which of the two do you offer, and who performs it?
- What happens between the first visit and the last follow-up, step by step?
The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery's five essential questions for a cosmetic surgery consult cover the ground around these two, so bring them along too.
Recommendation for a reader short on time
Phone two of the four, ask both questions, and keep the answers side by side. If a credential comes up, the ASPS article on why board certification matters for plastic surgery tells you what to ask next. Stanford Health Care's cosmetic and laser dermatology clinic is useful for comparing how a clinic describes its services. If you want primary reading afterward, NCBI PubMed Central (NIH) hosts a systematic review of electromagnetic treatments for body contouring.
Pick the provider whose answers to both questions were the clearest, then book the consult.
