Southern Face & Body Invites the Community to Meet Its Board-Certified Physicians at October 29 Open House
JACKSON, MS [OCTOBER 20, 2026] — Southern Face & Body will host an open house on Thursday, October 29, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at its practice at 1701 Lakeland Drive in Jackson, Mississippi. Guests are invited to tour the dermatologist-led aesthetic practice, meet its board-certified physicians and licensed aesthetic team, and welcome its newest provider, plastic surgeon Dr. Laura Galarza.
The afternoon will also feature refreshments, vendor samples, giveaways, and pricing available only to in-person attendees. The first 50 guests who spend $250 or more will receive a complimentary swag bag. The event gives residents of Jackson, Madison, Flowood, and Brandon an unhurried opportunity to ask questions in person and learn which treatments suit their goals, and experience the practice before booking a consultation.
Since opening earlier this year, Southern Face & Body has built its approach around one idea: aesthetic care is medical care, and it deserves physician leadership. That leadership begins with Medical Director Dr. Chelsea Mockbee, one of three board-certified dermatologists affiliated with the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) who guide the practice, alongside Dr. Allison Cruse and Dr. Kimberley Ward. They are joined by Dr. Laura Galarza, whose work focuses on surgical facial rejuvenation; Ear, Nose, and Throat physician Dr. Morgan Mills, and a team of licensed aestheticians and a certified laser technician.
“Most people come to us with a question long before they come with a treatment in mind,” said Dane Gecina, Director of Clinic Operations at Southern Face & Body. “An open house lets them ask questions in person, in an informal setting, with the physicians who would actually be caring for them. That conversation is where good care begins.”
The timing is intentional. Fall is when many patients turn their attention to repair after months of summer sun, making it a natural season to explore laser skin resurfacing, microneedling, and pigmentation treatments. Guests can also learn about the practice’s full range of services, including neuromodulators, dermal fillers, Hydrafacial®, CoolSculpting® Elite, EMSculpt NEO®, laser hair removal, and dermatologist-selected, medical-grade skincare.
The open house is free and open to the public. Beyond the swag bags reserved for the first 50 guests who spend $250 or more, all event offers, giveaways, and special pricing will be revealed only on-site, so attending is the only way to take advantage of them.
