Our Promise
Aesthetic medicine, the way it should be.
Physician-Led Care
Dr. Charles Dennis, our physician-owner, personally performs every injectable - Botox, Daxxify, dermal fillers, and lip fillers. Lori Barone personally performs every laser, skin-health, and body treatment. No rotating injectors. No delegated syringes.
Individualized Plans
Every treatment plan is built around your specific skin, your goals, your lifestyle, and the downtime you can actually take. We don't sell packages you don't need or upsell you into a treatment that doesn't fit - that's not how our practice works.
Boutique Environment
One suite in downtown Clarks Summit. No franchise floor, no rotating staff, no crowded waiting room. Every appointment feels like it was scheduled for you - because it was.
Medical-Grade Technology
We invest in FDA-cleared platforms from the leading medical aesthetic manufacturers: Cutera XEO (safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types), TetraPRO COโ, Virtue RF, EVERESSE by Volnewmer, TruSculpt iD, and DiamondGlow. Same devices you'd find in a dermatology or plastic surgery practice.
Meet Your Team
One physician. One lead provider. Every visit.
Most medical spas rotate providers. We don’t. Dr. Charles Dennis personally performs every injectable – Botox, Daxxify, dermal fillers, and lip fillers. Lori Barone, our lead aesthetic provider with more than 5 years of experience, personally performs every laser, skin-health, and body treatment. Whoever you see on your first visit is who you’ll see on your fifth. That continuity is the entire structure of our practice.

Went here for a consult on laser hair removal and ended up getting that and TruSculpt. It’s been about 5 weeks and I can already see a huge difference. I got a package and can’t wait to go back. The laser hair removal was great and the staff was very knowledgeable and kind.

What makes The Summit Aesthetics different from other medical spas?
Two things. First, we are physician-owned – every injectable is performed personally by Dr. Charles Dennis, not by a nurse injector or delegated staff. Second, we don’t rotate providers – Lori Barone performs every laser, skin-health, and body treatment we offer. Whoever you see on your first visit is who you’ll see on your fifth. Most medical spas can’t say that.
How do I know which treatment is right for me?
You don’t – and you shouldn’t have to. That’s what your complimentary consultation is for. Bring your concerns, your goals, and your questions. We’ll assess your skin, walk through your options, and build a written plan you take home. There is no obligation to book anything.
Are treatments safe? What about downtime?
Every treatment we offer is FDA-cleared or FDA-approved and performed by a qualified provider on medical-grade equipment. Downtime varies by treatment – Botox and Daxxify have essentially none; COโ laser resurfacing can require 3 to 7 days of visible healing; TruSculpt iD has no downtime; laser hair removal is same-day return to normal activities. Your written plan will note downtime specifically so you can schedule around your life.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We partner with Cherry and PatientFi for 0% APR monthly payment plans, plus CareCredit and Alle. Most patients are approved in minutes with no impact on their credit score.
