Best of Wilmington 2026 - Health, Beauty & Wellness 

 

Wilmington’s health, wellness and beauty professionals stand out for care that feels personal, from tailored treatments to advanced technology that keep patients and clients returning. These examples illustrate what that might look like.

Southeast Smiles, for example, uses laser technology to provide patients with an anesthesia-free and needle-less experience for fillings. Campbell, Covington & Icenhour Orthodontics pairs modern treatment options with individualized plans and says it is most proud of “the confidence we help create.” Medical Center Specialty Pharmacy also specializes in customization, creating compounded medications when standard options are not enough.

“Chiropractic care doesn’t have to be rushed or one-size-fits-all,” adds Dr. Cassandra Almeida of Vital Roots Chiropractic. Liberty Home Care and Hospice likewise supports patients and families through personalized care plans, while Lemon Day Spa customizes every massage and facial without add-on fees. 

In beauty and grooming, Julie Lopez helps clients simplify their routines through permanent makeup, and Cut Culture Barbershop has built a community-centered space where, the team says, “it’s more than just a haircut—it’s about how people feel when they walk in and leave.”
