Ten Years.

Never did I imagine, more than a decade ago, that a dream born from passion and purpose would grow into what we have today. What started as a small spark—an idea to create a space where women could feel seen, cared for, and empowered—has blossomed into something so much greater than I ever could have hoped.

Ten years of laughter, learning, healing, and growth.

Ten years of walking alongside our patients through their journeys—celebrating their joys, holding space for their struggles, and watching them glow from the inside out.

Ten years of showing up every single day with a team that feels more like family. The heart, dedication, and love this team pours into their work is what makes this place more than a med spa. It’s a sanctuary.

And none of this—none of it—would be possible without our incredible patients. You’ve trusted us with your care, your stories, and your skin. You’ve inspired us. You’ve lifted us. You are the reason we get to do what we love.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. For every appointment, every kind word, every referral, every hug, and every tear shared—we carry it all with us.

Here’s to ten years of beauty, resilience, and connection. And to the next chapter… we can’t wait to keep growing with you.

With all my love,

Heather

I think this is my favorite CO2RE result yet!
This sweet lady came into our clinic not knowing what she wanted or needed but knew she wanted to start taking better care of herself including her skin.
We started with a very aggressive CO2RE treatment. This is an amazing resurfacing laser that I can change my settings differently for every patient. It truly makes for an unmatched customized treatment!
CO2RE is the most aggressive laser we offer
We are able to achieve drastic results like our beautiful patient above with a single treatment. However some people may require more than one treatment depending on their skin concern.
If you have been looking to do something big with your skin, this may be it! I would love to see you in the clinic for a consultation to see if CO2RE is right for you!

Depression in teens makes me so sad. Everytime I see a teen in clinic with depression it just breaks my heart. The world is so different these days compared to when I was a teen. Bullying, social media, the list goes on.

I pledge to not use filters on any of my social media pictures for the entire month of April to honor what these teens may be faced with...who’s with me? I may look pretty in most of my photos I post but that's because I try to look pretty for them. Filters, retakes, different angles, make up, etc. We are all real people...and beautiful people in our own skin. Let's be the change.

Vitamin C skin serums are amongst one of the most popular and effective ways to help reduce the harm of free radicals in our environment. Here are some tips to ensure you are choosing a quality vitamin C serum.

Choose a vitamin C serum combined with vitamin E and ferulic acid. Research shows this offers some photoprotection and nearly doubles the efficacy compared to vitamin C alone.

Vitamin C comes in a few different forms. L-ascorbic acid is the most active, effective, and researched form.

Look for 8% or higher in a vitamin C serum. Less than that is not considered a very active product. On the flip side, percentages higher than 20% are not much more effective so save your money!

Vitamin C is a very unstable compound. Store it in a cool dark place to prevent oxidation. Oxidation is when Vitamin C has been exposed to too much light and oxygen and turns more into a free radical.

Make sure your serum is clear or a very pale yellow. When Vitamin C turns yellow it means it has oxidized and can have harmful effects on the skin. Think of an apple, if you leave it out too long in the air it turns brown.

Moral of the story is use Vitamin C daily on your skin but make sure it's a quality one!

Let’s talk antioxidants. What is an antioxidant and even better what is oxidation and free radicals? This may take you down a trip in memory lane to your high school chemistry class.

Free radicals are unstable atoms that are lacking an electron. Stable atoms have a full outer shell of electrons. For free radicals to try and become stable they search for other molecules to react with. If an oxygen atom is missing an electron and starts to react with other atoms to become stable, this can cause a lot of havoc in the skin and body; known as oxidative stress.

Free radicals come from smoking, pollution, exposure to other toxic chemicals, alcohol, poor nutrition, the sun, lack of sleep and stress. Unfortunately free radicals are also naturally produced in our bodies.

This is where antioxidants come into play. Antioxidants are substances that scavenge free radicals and reduce their negative impact on the body.

Oxidative stress has been linked to aging of the skin, dementia, heart disease, autoimmune disease, cataracts, diabetes and much more.

For the skin, the easiest way to protect it is by using a daily Vitamin C serum.

Stay tuned for the next post on how to pick the most effective Vitamin C serum.
