MedSpa duo seek to make ‘A Better You’
Farragut residents Laura Toole, left, and Julie Sonnenburg welcome guests to a recent open house at their new business, A Better You MedSpa, 10820 Kingston Pike in Century Complex near Farragut.
Owners/partners Laura Toole and Julie D. Sonnenburg opened the business May 11 at 10820 Kingston Pike, Suite 22, of Century Complex located next to Amesbury Road.
“We absolutely love the Farragut area and clientele,” Toole said.
A Better You offers a full range of medical spa services, from Botox, fillers and chemical peels to laser teeth whitening.
“(We offer) a new, integrated and safe way to whiten your teeth 10 shades lighter in less than 30 minutes,” Toole said.
Cosmetic treatments include advanced exfoliation (TCA peels) to treat aging skin, acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles; Botox for certain muscular conditions and to remove wrinkles; Rystylane, a cosmetic injection into sub-dermal facial tissues; and Dysport to temporarily alter nerve impulses and reduce or eliminate wrinkles.
Other services include dermaplaning, which is exfoliating the epidermis and ridding the skin of peach fuzz; microneedling; Kybella, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that causes destruction of fat cells; and fillers.
Sonnenburg said they knew about the Century Plaza opening because Toole has other businesses located there.
Toole also is real estate broker/owner at Prestigious Properties of Knoxville, LLC., and L.T. Properties, LLC., and she owns a design firm, Designs by LT.
Sonnenburg, a registered nurse, has been servicing Knoxville for more than six years as a certified injector, which is how they met.
“Julie was my injector for years,” Toole said. “She’s the first injector who listened to me and introduced me to Dysport versus Botox.
“We instantly became friends, and I even helped her purchase a rental property.”
While Sonnenburg will treat clients as the business’ injector, Toole said A Better You also has an on-site physician, Dr. Stephen Pershing. “He has been practicing for over 30 years,” she added.
“Laura is the business mind behind it all,” Sonnenburg said.
“Julie wanted to open her own medical spa, and I was happy to make that happen,” Toole said.
A Better You is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturdays. It is closed Sundays.
