Everything You Want to Know
Straight answers to the most common questions about Mermaid Aesthetics, the concierge model, and working with Melanie.
About the Practice
A concierge medspa brings medical aesthetic and wellness treatments directly to your home instead of requiring you to visit a clinic. Melanie travels to you with all supplies, tools, and sanitized equipment. The visit is private, unhurried, and happens wherever you are most comfortable. You get the same quality of care as a traditional medspa, but without the waiting room, the drive, or the public setting.
Melanie Rooney is a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist with over 30 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Science in Nurse Anesthesia from the University of North Florida, a BSN from the University of Central Florida, and began her nursing education at Daytona State College. Her background includes operating rooms, trauma centers, and critical care settings. That depth of training in pharmacology, anatomy, and patient safety is what she brings to every aesthetic and wellness visit.
Mermaid Aesthetics offers four core services. Botox for fine lines and wrinkles. A medically supervised weight loss program with weekly injections and ongoing support. Peptide therapy protocols for recovery, energy, sleep, and healthy aging. And IV hydration including full drips and individual booster shots starting at $25. Every service is delivered in your home throughout Volusia County.
The primary service area covers Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, Port Orange, and New Smyrna Beach. Melanie also accommodates clients in surrounding Volusia County areas when scheduling allows. If you are not sure whether your address is covered, call or send a message and she will let you know.
Your Visit
You can book online through our scheduling system at any time, or call Melanie directly at (386) 366-0430. Same week availability is common. When you book, include your address and any details about what you are looking for so Melanie can prepare the right supplies for your visit.
Your first visit always starts with a conversation. Melanie reviews your health history, asks about your goals, and makes sure you are a good fit for the treatment you are interested in. She explains everything before anything starts. If you decide to move forward, many treatments can begin during the same visit. There is no pressure to commit to anything during the first appointment. Some patients prefer to take a day to think about it, and that is fine.
Very little. A clean space with good lighting and room for you to sit or recline comfortably. Melanie brings all supplies, tools, and sanitized equipment with her. If it helps you relax, put on music, dim the lights, or make yourself comfortable however you normally would. The whole point of concierge care is that your home is the setting, not a clinic.
Most visits run between 30 and 90 minutes depending on the service. Botox tends to be quickest. IV hydration sits in the middle. Weight loss and peptide sessions run longer since they include time to review progress and plan your protocol. Melanie builds in extra time so nothing feels rushed. She would rather stay an extra 15 minutes than cut a conversation short.
Safety, Trust, and Logistics
Yes. Melanie is a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, one of the highest levels of medical training in nursing. Every product she uses is sourced from the same suppliers used by clinics. Every tool is sterile and single use. The standard of care does not change because the setting does. What does change is the comfort, privacy, and pace of the experience.
Pricing depends on the service. IV hydration boosters start at $25. Botox is priced by the unit. Weight loss and peptide therapy are quoted after a consultation since totals depend on the medication, dosing, and program length. Melanie gives you a complete breakdown before anything starts so there are no surprises. Insurance typically does not cover cosmetic or elective wellness treatments, though Melanie can help you understand your options if a medical diagnosis is involved.
Yes. One of the biggest differences between concierge care and a traditional clinic is access. Melanie is available by phone and text between appointments. If you have a question about a side effect, want to adjust your schedule, or just want to talk something through, she is a call away. This is part of the model, not a special exception.
Then you are exactly who Melanie loves working with. Your first visit starts with a real conversation. What you want, what makes you nervous, what you have heard. Nothing gets started until you feel ready, and nothing is more or bigger than what you asked for. First timers often say the hardest part was picking up the phone. Once they did, everything felt easy.
Still have a question?
Melanie is happy to talk it through. No pressure, no commitment. Just a real conversation about what you are looking for.
