Book nowOur story, from Tracey's first laser to 20 years in Hickory

2004
A nurse learns the light
After years in neurosurgery, case management and travel nursing, Tracey Bare, RN, wanted more time with her young children. She joined a physician offering laser skin services and spent more than a year mastering how lasers correct skin concerns.

2006
La Bella Donna opens
In June 2006, Tracey opened La Bella Donna on North Center Street with one promise: confidential, individualized skin care with safe, natural results. No high pressure. No one-size-fits-all.

2026
Twenty years of Hickory faces
Two decades later, clients drive in from across the state line to see the same team. In May 2026 La Bella Donna celebrated 20 years and landed the cover of Hickory Living.

As seen on the cover
Hickory Living, May 2026
Twenty years of dedication to enhancing natural beauty.
Hickory Living featured Tracey and the team for our 20th anniversary, from her start in medical lasers in 2004 to the menopause wellness consultations she offers today. The heart of the story is her philosophy: if anyone can point out that you had something done, the job was not done right.

Loved by Hickory for two decades
Cheers to 20 years
A celebration on North Center Street
In May 2026 we threw a party for the clients who made it all possible: a flower bar, wood-fired pizza and plenty of champagne on the lawn. The wind ran off with a few balloons, but nobody minded.
Every November we do it again at our Holiday Open House with free gift bags, raffles and our best savings of the year.

What is a med spa?
A med spa combines the relaxing feel of a day spa with medical-grade treatments like Botox, fillers and lasers, performed by licensed medical professionals. At La Bella Donna, treatments are performed by a registered nurse under the direction of our medical director, Dr. Lisa Caporossi.
How much does a consultation cost?
Consultations are $50. Tracey assesses your skin, talks through your goals and builds a personal treatment plan. The fee is applied to a same-day or future treatment.

What are your hours?
