Dr. Lacara is the dynamic founder and driving force behind The Spa at Mecca, one of New Jersey’s original and premier medical spas. Her journey began with a deep-rooted love for science and service, earning her pharmacy degree before returning to medical school to pursue her true calling in family medicine. Her dedication and leadership quickly became evident, culminating in her appointment as Chief Resident during her family medicine residency.
Dr. Lacara built a thriving primary care practice, primarily composed of female patients who trusted her deeply and ultimately inspired her entry into the aesthetic medicine space. Their encouragement, coupled with her passion for helping others feel and function at their absolute best, sparked a new chapter in her career—one that would transform the local aesthetic landscape.
In 2009, Dr. Lacara launched The Spa at Mecca from the ground up, blending clinical excellence with artistry to create a space where beauty and wellness meet. Her relentless pursuit of mastery has led her to train extensively for over a decade. She continues to elevate her craft through advanced courses and ongoing education.
Dr. Lacara has since achieved Top 10 Allergan status in the state of New Jersey, and her expertise has earned her the coveted role of Allergan Medical Institute (AMI) Trainer. In this role, she travels to share her extensive knowledge and techniques with other injectors across the country—an extension of her passion for teaching and mentoring others in the field.
Whether she’s caring for her primary care patients, nurturing her team, or guiding clients on their aesthetic journey, Dr. Lacara is committed to helping people get from where they are to where they are meant to be. This calling is the heart of her work—and the foundation of the successful, 20-year career that continues to evolve, inspire, and transform.
