About Us
80 Years of combined experience
With over 80 years of combined experience in aesthetics and medicine, Revive at The Group Med Spa stands as a leading provider of top-tier aesthetic, laser, injectable, vitamin therapy, and massage treatments. Our focus is on delivering tangible results while ensuring a relaxing experience tailored to your specific skin care needs. Our team of licensed providers conducts thorough evaluations to recommend treatments and products that yield optimal results. Each team member undergoes continuous training to proficiently operate our state-of-the-art tools, guaranteeing the efficiency and effectiveness of your personalized treatment plan.
Revive at The Group Medical Spa is owned and medically directed by the Physicians of The Group Obstetrics & Gynecology Specialists, P.C., and though The Group has been in practice since 1978, Revive opened its doors in 2017. In 2020 Revive expanded into a new location, separate from The Group practice, where it was first founded and housed.
In 2023 Revive expanded again, growing into an existing tenant space adjacent to its current location. The added sq. footage has allowed for more immediate scheduling opportunities due to the increased number of treatment rooms. The expansion also included a larger front desk check-in area, along with a dedicated team training room! Services offered at Revive include state-of-the-art laser treatments, top-of-the-line aesthetic treatments, injectables, IV hydration, massage, medical-grade skincare products, and more.
With more than 80 years of combined experience, Revive’s team of established medical aesthetic providers remains focused on preventative medicine and lifelong wellness. This parallels the overall mission of Revive, which is developing and marketing innovative, clinically tested, physician-dispensed skincare products and treatments.
The success of Revive is thanks to many. The continued expansion demonstrates Revive’s dedication and commitment to this community.

Testimonials
You cannot go wrong with Revive at The Group! The staff are incredibly experienced and very friendly. When I began getting aesthetic treatments, I knew I needed to go to a place I trusted. Thank you for the best experience as a first-time client of aesthetic treatments and Botox!
Revive was initially recommended to me by friends, I’ve been a client now for a few different treatments. I received Dysport from Katie and Kisha and they are both amazing! On my last visit, I had a consultation for lip injections. At my consultation, Kisha provided me with Restylane Kysse lip injections. Kisha is a true artist! I am completely obsessed with my lips! Kisha was so informative, knowledgeable, and sweet!
Completely in love with my Dysport results I received from Kisha! She is very knowledgeable, professional, sweet, and personable!
My first trip to Revive was today and it was everything I had hoped it to be. I had a 90-minute massage. It was absolutely amazing and I am definitely rebooking another with her. So much relief with TMJ and muscle tension. After the massage, I had my skin consultation with Kisha and continued to be amazed by the level of professionalism and knowledge, as well as the friendly and genuine service. I have booked again next week for my first Dysport session. All my friends and coworkers have asked for the outcome of my spa visit and it’s definitely a 2 THUMBS UP! Thank you for a great experience from the check-in staff all the way to the end of my sessions. The facility is beautiful as well!
I love the privacy of the relaxation area so we aren’t awkwardly sitting together in the open lobby, especially when I was nervous before my first appointment! Oh, and your treatment rooms are awesome. I’ve been to specialists’ offices that were tiny and cramped in comparison.
Great experience!! Felt very comfortable and welcomed. Would recommend this Spa to anyone who wants to be pampered and come out looking great!
