South Austin's Banyan & Bamboo Earns Back-to-Back Best Day Spa + Med Spa Honors, Expanding Its Regenerative Wellness Model

AUSTIN, TX — Banyan & Bamboo Day Spa + Med Spa, a boutique wellness destination on South Lamar Boulevard, has been recognized for the second consecutive year as Best Day Spa + Med Spa in Austin — first by the Evergreen Awards in 2025, and again by Best of Best Review in 2026. The back-to-back recognition reflects the practice's growing reputation for integrating regenerative aesthetic medicine with a hospitality-centered spa experience.

A Model Built Around Regenerative Outcomes

Founded by Jennifer Rushing, Banyan & Bamboo operates at the intersection of advanced aesthetic medicine and personalized, regenerative care. The practice has built its clinical menu around treatments designed to support long-term skin quality and tissue health: Sculptra biostimulator for collagen rebuilding, PDRN therapy (the Mermaid Facial / Salmon DNA Facial) for cellular regeneration, DiamondGlow resurfacing, mesotherapy and microneedling with PDRN and peptide cocktails, and AI-powered skin analysis to track measurable progress across treatments. Medical oversight is provided by Dr. David L. Sneed, MD.

Injectable services are led by Brittany Cantu, AME, a cosmetic injector with more than 21 years of experience specializing in natural-looking, collagen-forward treatment planning.

"We are not trying to freeze time. We are helping the body do what it already knows how to do, just better." — Jennifer Rushing, Founder & Owner

Two Consecutive Years of Recognition

In 2025, the Evergreen Awards named Banyan & Bamboo Best Day Spa + Med Spa in Austin, recognizing the practice's innovative use of regenerative therapies, AI-powered skin analysis, and its approach to individualized wellness planning. In 2026, Best of Best Review awarded the same distinction (Day Spa + Med Spa in Austin of 2026)— reinforcing the spa's expanding role in Austin's wellness and aesthetics landscape.

The Environment Is Not an Afterthought

Walk into Banyan & Bamboo and the first thing you notice is that it does not look like a med spa. The space on South Lamar was designed with intention: warm materials, considered lighting, a physical environment that signals care before a single word is spoken. Clients who have driven from Houston, San Antonio, the Hill Country, and the Dallas area consistently cite the environment as part of what makes the experience worth the trip.

"People can feel when a space was designed for them versus designed to process them. We spent real time and real money on this space because we believe the environment is part of the treatment." — Jennifer Rushing

A Destination Practice in a Neighborhood Worth Visiting

South Austin's 78704 has become one of the most culturally distinct zip codes in Texas. Banyan & Bamboo fits that context exactly — not a franchise, not a chain, but a practice owned and operated by the people who built it. Clients from outside Austin regularly build full weekend trips around their appointments, combining a treatment day with South Congress dining, the Barton Creek Greenbelt, or a stay at one of Austin's boutique hotels.
