Dr. Claudia Cuevas-Lou is a board-certified family medicine physician and the founder of Selfistry MD Spa & Aesthetic Medicine, a physician-led medical aesthetics practice in Cutler Bay, Florida. She is eligible in procedural medicine and is currently completing a fellowship in dermatology, bringing an advanced level of clinical skin expertise into the aesthetic space that’s uncommon at most medical spas.
Dr. Cuevas-Lou’s clinical background spans both inpatient and outpatient medicine. She works as a hospitalist, caring for acutely ill patients in the hospital setting, and also practices at B&C Family Practice, where she serves in a supervising physician capacity overseeing nurse practitioners. This breadth of experience — from managing complex, high-acuity cases to long-term primary care relationships — shapes the depth of medical judgment she brings to every treatment plan.
To expand what’s possible for patients, Dr. Cuevas-Lou has partnered with Dr. Urruela, a pain medicine physician, to bring regenerative medicine into the Selfistry offering — extending the practice beyond aesthetics into deeper musculoskeletal and restorative care.
Dr. Cuevas-Lou founded Selfistry to close the gap between traditional medical spas and true physician-level clinical care. Her philosophy centers on whole-being wellness: the belief that how you look and how your body is functioning are deeply interconnected, and that lasting results come from treating both together rather than in isolation. Every client at Selfistry begins with a real medical consultation, ensuring treatment plans are as medically sound as they are aesthetically effective.
Selfistry was born from the understanding that true beauty starts with embracing who we are. Our name reflects that philosophy — Selfistry, the art of embracing yourself.
Founded on the principle that aesthetic care should never be separated from sound medical judgment, Selfistry was created to bridge the gap between traditional med spas and physician-led clinical practice.
Health is the foundation of everything we do. Before any treatment, we take the time to understand you — your health history, your social habits, and your goals — because we believe great aesthetic outcomes start with a solid understanding of your overall well-being. Beauty and health are not separate journeys; at Selfistry, they’re one and the same.
Every service at Selfistry is guided by physician-led protocols, and delivered by physician-trained aestheticians. This means your care is always grounded in medical expertise, thoughtful evaluation, and a genuine understanding of what’s right for you — not a one-size-fits-all approach. At Selfistry, we invite you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and enjoy care that celebrates who you already are — supported by the expertise to help you feel your best.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email info@selfistrymedicalspa.com
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to info@selfistrymedicalspa.com
