LISA PRICE
AESTHETICIAN/LASER TECHNICIAN
Lisa joined UM&A in 2024 after spending 10 years working in a plastic surgeon’s office in Richmond, VA, where she administered chemical peels of varying depths, many types of laser treatments (including IPL), a multitude of laser resurfacing procedures, laser hair removal, microneedling RF treatments, and more.
She trained at the Institute of Advanced Medical Aesthetics and then received her Master Aesthetics Licensure at American Spirit Institute focusing on anti-aging and improving the quality and texture of the skin. She is well-versed in the layers of the skin, skin conditions, product ingredients, and how those ingredients work in the skin. Lisa is familiar with working on skin of color.
Lisa graduated from UNCW with a Bachelor’s in English and spent 11 years teaching but found her way into this industry and fell in love with being able to manipulate the skin into behaving with quality products and specialized skin care plans for each individual client.
Outside of work, Lisa loves spending time with family and friends, going to dinner, and seeing live music. She loves being near the water, so enjoying beach time year-round is part of what Lisa loves about being back in Wilmington.

Miranda Cross is our Practice Manager and comes with over 17 years of experience in the skin and beauty industry. With combined experience in Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, and Aesthetics, Miranda has gained a vast knowledge of “all things skin,” whether it be cosmetic or medical conditions. This experience has opened up the opportunity for her to become a key leader with various med spas in NC, from Southport and Cary to Wilmington. Miranda’s responsibilities include overseeing the overall business operations, including financial data, inventory control, marketing, human resources, and much more! Her commitment to business development, patient safety, and staff relationships has guided her management skills and allowed her to contribute to several organizations’ journey to success!
Miranda obtained a Bachelor’s Degree at East Carolina University and moved to Wilmington in 2002. She was married in 2016, and her husband’s job relocated them a few times, which created the opportunity for her to experience med spas in other regions. Ultimately, they were brought back “home” to Wilmington in 2021. During her time off, Miranda enjoys fellowshipping with the children in her life, yardwork, grilling out with her hubby, and napping with her pups!
