Our Story
Founded By Waccamaw Dermatology™
Elara began with a simple idea: cosmetic care should feel just as thoughtful, trusted, and medically grounded as the dermatologic care Waccamaw Dermatology has provided for years.
As our cosmetic services grew, so did the opportunity to create something more intentional—a dedicated brand and experience built around the evolving needs of our aesthetic patients. Elara Cosmetic Dermatology was created as the next chapter of that growth, bringing our cosmetic treatments, advanced technology, skin rejuvenation, and professional skincare together under one identity.
While the name is new, the foundation behind it is not. Elara remains part of Waccamaw Dermatology, supported by the same commitment to patient care while offering a space and experience distinctly its own.
Thoughtful Care From Every Angle
Rooted in Dermatology
Elara is part of Waccamaw Dermatology, giving our cosmetic practice a foundation in skin health, medical expertise, and decades of patient care.
Focused On Modern Aesthetics
Cosmetic care deserves its own space and focus. Elara was created to bring our aesthetic services together in an environment dedicated entirely to cosmetic dermatology and skin rejuvenation.
Selective By Design
We don’t believe in offering something simply because it’s trending. The treatments, technologies, and skincare at Elara are chosen because they have a meaningful place in the way we care for our patients.
Personal From the Start
We want Elara to feel like a home away from home. Relationships, conversation, and continuity of care are an important part of the experience we’ve created.
40+ Years Serving the Carolina's
As the cosmetic and aesthetic division of Waccamaw Dermatology, Elara is built on a foundation that extends far beyond aesthetics. Our connection to a trusted dermatology practice shapes how we think about the skin, evaluate treatments, and care for our patients.
That foundation allows us to approach aesthetics through a wider lens—one that values skin health alongside cosmetic goals and places thoughtful, evidence-based care at the center of every recommendation.
Four Disciplines, One Considered Approach.
From subtle enhancement to comprehensive skin renewal, our treatment portfolio allows us to build an approach around what you want to address.
