Today we’d like to introduce you to Courtney Deavers.
Hi Courtney, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
My career in medicine began in fire and emergency medicine. I worked as a firefighter and paramedic with Las Vegas Fire & Rescue before becoming a registered nurse and, ultimately, a board-certified Nurse Practitioner. Those years in emergency medicine taught me to remain calm under pressure, approach every situation with precision, and rely on sound clinical judgment, principles that continue to shape the way I care for my patients today.
Along the way, I discovered aesthetic medicine. After training under a plastic surgeon, I became captivated by the intersection of medicine, anatomy, and artistry. I loved that aesthetic medicine could be deeply personal, not about changing someone, but about helping them feel more confident in the person they already are.
At the same time, I began to see an industry increasingly associated with looking different: overfilled lips, exaggerated features, and results that sometimes left people looking unlike themselves.
I believed there was another way.
That belief became the foundation for Face Alchemy.
Aesthetic medicine shouldn’t change who you are. It should enhance what is already there.
Today, Face Alchemy is a boutique medical aesthetics practice in Dripping Springs, offering injectables, laser treatments, collagen-stimulating treatments, facials, facial massage, chemical peels, microneedling, and medical-grade skincare. Every treatment is approached with the same philosophy: thoughtful, personalized care grounded in clinical expertise and artistry.
The practice is now housed in The Mae House, a restored 1940s home on Old Fitzhugh Road. My husband, Jake, and I poured our own time and energy into restoring the space, making it something that feels personal from the moment you walk through the door. Named after our daughter, Charlie Mae, The Mae House embodies what I want Face Alchemy to be seen as; rooted, personal, thoughtful, and beautifully understated.
Face Alchemy isn’t about chasing perfection.
It’s about delivering confidence.
We’ve been impressed with Face Alchemy, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Please tell us more about your business or organization. What should we know?
Face Alchemy is a boutique medical aesthetics practice in Dripping Springs, Texas, founded around the belief that aesthetic medicine should enhance who you are, not change you.
I specialize in personalized aesthetic treatments that combine clinical expertise with an artistic approach. My focus is on creating results that are subtle, balanced, and believable. Whether someone is coming in for injectables, laser treatments, microneedling, collagen stimulation, a chemical peel, or skincare, I want the treatment to feel intentional and specific to them.
I think one of the most important things to know about Face Alchemy is that we are helping people feel confident in their own skin.
What do you specialize in / what are you known for?
We offer a range of medical aesthetic services, including neuromodulators, dermal fillers, Sculptra, laser treatments, IPL, microneedling, chemical peels, facials, facial massage, and medical-grade skincare.
I am particularly passionate about subtle, natural-looking injectable results. I want someone to leave looking refreshed and balanced, not like they “had something done.” I also love treatments that improve the health and quality of the skin over time, because beautiful skin is really the foundation of everything we do.
What sets you apart from others?
I think it comes down to our approach. Every face is different, and I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to aesthetics.
My background in emergency medicine and as a Nurse Practitioner gives me a strong clinical foundation, while my experience in aesthetics has taught me to appreciate the artistry and nuance of the face. I bring those two things together in every treatment.
We also take a very relationship-driven approach to care. I want my patients to feel listened to, educated, and comfortable saying what they do and don’t want. Sometimes the best treatment recommendation is a subtle treatment, a different treatment, or even no treatment at all.
What are you most proud of brand-wise?
I’m most proud that Face Alchemy feels like me.
I wanted to create something that felt elevated and luxurious without feeling intimidating or impersonal. The Mae House, the 1940s home where Face Alchemy is located, really embodies that. My husband, Jake, and I poured so much of ourselves into restoring the space, and I think you can feel that when you walk in.
I’m also proud of the reputation we’ve built around natural results and thoughtful care. There is a lot of noise in the aesthetics industry, and I wanted Face Alchemy to feel different, quieter, more personal, and more intentional.
What do you want readers to know about your brand, offerings, and services?
I want people to know that aesthetic medicine doesn’t have to be about becoming someone else.
You don’t have to completely change your face to look refreshed. You don’t have to do everything. And you certainly don’t have to look like you’ve had work done.
At Face Alchemy, our goal is to help you look like the best, most refreshed version of yourself, while still looking completely like you.
For me, that’s the pursuit of aesthetic excellence: science, artistry, and restraint coming together to create results that feel natural, personal, and timeless.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
I think the next 5–10 years in aesthetics will be less about doing more and more about doing things better and more thoughtfully.
We’re already seeing a shift away from an emphasis on volume and dramatic transformation toward skin quality, natural-looking results, prevention, and long-term treatment planning. Neuromodulators and fillers remain incredibly popular, but there is growing interest in treatments that improve the quality and health of the skin itself, lasers, microneedling, biostimulatory treatments, and regenerative approaches.
I also think patients are becoming much more educated. They have access to an enormous amount of information, but that also means they need someone who can help them distinguish between what is evidence-based, what is appropriate for their individual anatomy and skin, and what is simply trending on social media. As the industry grows, I believe experience, education, safety, and trust will become increasingly important.
