About Us

Alchemy Medical Aesthetics

Created With Intention

Welcome to Alchemy Medical Aesthetics, where science, artistry, and authentic relationships come together to create naturally beautiful transformations. At Alchemy, we believe aesthetic medicine should be personal, thoughtful, and rooted in trust. Beauty isn't created by chasing trends—it's revealed through experience, artistry, and a genuine understanding of the individual sitting in front of us.

Founded by Elise Wilcox, an independently licensed Physician Assistant with more than 23 years of experience in aesthetic medicine, Alchemy was created with one unwavering philosophy: patients come before profit. After decades of performing advanced injectable and laser treatments—and training hundreds of aesthetic providers across the country—it became clear that exceptional outcomes happen when medical decisions are guided by what is truly best for the patient, not by corporate metrics or private equity priorities.

That belief became the foundation of Alchemy.

We specialize in anti-aging and skin rejuvenation procedures, providing the highest-quality aesthetic injectables, laser treatments, regenerative therapies, and wellness support. Additionally, we help you achieve optimal skin health by using and integrating our carefully selected medical-grade skin care products and treatments. Our passion for creating beautiful, natural, and transformative results in a true alchemic fashion helps you look and feel your best at every age.

Our aesthetic philosophy is beautifully simple: natural will always be in style.

More than anything, we value the relationships we build with our patients. We believe loyalty is earned through honesty, accessibility, consistency, and exceptional care. We take the time to listen, educate, and remain available long after your treatment because caring for our patients doesn't end when the appointment does.

Our goal isn't simply to perform treatments. It's to create an experience so personalized, welcoming, and genuine that you'll look forward to every visit—and feel completely at home in our care. Come visit us at our clinic in Sugar House, Utah, and experience for yourself what sets us apart.

Small by Design. Exceptional by Experience.
