Alex Foley
FOUNDER, MOXIE MEDISPA
IN 2023, Alex Foley opened Moxie Medispa with an idea. She wanted to create a boutique clinic, where clients receive time, attention and services tailored to their needs. Foley began her career in nursing and midwifery, delivering hundreds of babies, and now she brings that same intimate, caring approach to helping people look and feel their best.
What aesthetics treatments are popular right now?
The most popular is Botox for wrinkles and fine lines. We can also do creative things with Botox like addressing the hooding of the eyelid to give a more awake appearance. We also offer collagen injectables and filler for skin laxity and volume replacement in the face. On the medical side, our weight loss clinic prescribes GLP-1 receptor agonist injectors, which are popular right now. We also offer hormone replacement, such as testosterone supplementation for men and estrogen replacement for women. I’m also very passionate about our women’s sexual health division. When I was in obstetrics and gynecology, I found there weren’t many resources for women experiencing sexual dysfunction, and I want Moxie to be a safe place for that. We use platelet-rich plasma treatments to help with orgasmic and libido dysfunction and other sexual health concerns.
What makes Moxie stand out?
In this industry, you often find two types of places. One is a very sterile, intimidating plastic surgeon’s office. And the other is a very loud and bold type of spa. What I’ve found is that most people don’t like the sterile office, but they also don’t really want bold – they just want to look natural and to feel better and to use these services conservatively. That’s what Moxie is designed to be – a comfortable place for the average woman. And most important, we’re a boutique. You’re not just getting a 15-minute time slot. You’re receiving personal, attentive, thoughtful service. ◆
