It all started with an idea...
Our Story
Mikayla Wells, MHS, PA-C — Owner of SWA+
I grew up in Chattanooga, Oklahoma, where I went PreK through 12th grade and where Southwest Oklahoma became home long before medicine was ever on my mind.
I earned my undergraduate degree from Oklahoma State, then went to PA school at OU in Oklahoma City. I've been a PA for six years and injecting from the start. While I've practiced in other specialties along the way, aesthetics has been the constant thread through all of it.
Living in Oklahoma City and spending time in spas in bigger cities showed me what aesthetic care looks like when it's done right: unhurried, planned out as a whole face rather than one service at a time, and safe. I kept asking why that couldn't exist back home. Eventually I stopped asking and came home to build it.
This practice started as a side hustle, honestly. Somewhere along the way that side hustle became a genuine passion, and rebranding to Southwest Aesthetics+ was the moment it finally felt completely me.
SWA+ was never about competing on price or cutting corners. My goal is always natural results — you, looking rested and refreshed and still like yourself. I'd rather do less and have you come back than overdo it once. And you'll always get honesty here: what's worth doing, what can wait, and what I wouldn't recommend at all. I'm here for the long-term relationship, not the quick sale.
If you've never done any of this before, you're in good company. Plenty of our patients walk in nervous after thinking about it for months. We'll go slow, talk through all of it, and nothing happens until you're ready.
I didn't recruit this team — they found us. I'd love for you to meet them, so keep scrolling.
