Enhanced Beauty & Wellness turned 5!
Around this time in 2019, Lisa Gibbons was training with Galderma, injecting at a few clinics and had started the journey to become a Nurse Practitioner. She wanted to create something that would combine her injector experience and passion for helping clients find their beauty without changing who they are but rather "enhancing" it. Thus, Enhanced Beauty Inc began in February 2019!
To properly celebrate our 5-year anniversary, we sat down with our owner and injector Lisa to talk about the journey, key moments, and what's to come. Read on to learn about our journey and what to look forward to this year.
Congratulations on 5 years of Enhanced Beauty! Let's backtrack a bit - what inspired you to start EB?
My background is in Emergency nursing, and I have been doing aesthetic injections for over 13 years. I never intended to start my own business. I am passionate about educating both injectors and clients. When I started my Masters of Nursing-Nurse Practitioner program, I was excited that I would have more autonomy to create a practice based on safety, education and natural results.
Spring of 2021 Enhanced Beauty moved into our first studio location in Mission, this was a stepping stone as we quickly outgrew the space and began looking for our new home.
By Fall 2022 Lisa Menzies another senior injector had joined the team, we brought on a technician and our first machine. The Morpheus 8 (micro needling with RF), Diolaze laser hair removal and Lumecca IPL quickly became some of our favourite services.
In July 2023 ,we found our new and current location at Glenbrook plaza. And we LOVE IT here! The neighbors have been so welcoming, and we have met so many new faces. This past year we have brought on Nevaeh our Clinic Manager and front house concierge, and most recently Sara with over 18 years experience as a technician. We also added our Bela MD facial machine and DP4 microneedling that our clients are lining up for!
What moment have you been most proud of so far?
Finishing my NP was a huge accomplishment. The coursework was heavy, and I had my son during the last leg of the program. Balancing taking care of a newborn while studying or going for clinical rotations was challenging. With help from my partner, family, and friends, I was able to push through and get it done. It was a big win!
What do you enjoy most about working with your current clients?
I truly have the best clients; I feel a connection with everyone, and I want what's best for them. I enjoy coming up with different ways to educate and communicate with my clients! I am passionate about showing the world that doing injections or being in this industry doesn't have to look scary. We can maintain movement and expression while allowing an enhanced rested youthful version of you!
What sets Enhanced Beauty and Wellness apart from other medical aesthetic clinics?
I believe what distinguishes Enhanced Beauty and Wellness from other clinics is our unwavering commitment to establishing genuine connections with our clients. We strive to provide services at fair prices, focusing on achieving natural results while prioritizing safety and education. (need another word) Additionally, we pride ourselves on having an exceptionally high client retention rate, with many of our clients coming to us through referrals from satisfied customers. By fostering authentic relationships with our clients, our brand continues to grow organically. We are immensely grateful for the support of our clients and are eager to continue expanding.
How do you feel now that Enhanced Beauty and Wellness has reached its five-year milestone?
At this significant juncture, my predominant emotion is gratitude! I am truly thankful for the opportunities that both current and past clients have afforded Enhanced Beauty and Wellness. I would also like to express my appreciation for the unwavering support provided by family members, friends, and colleagues throughout this journey. Without their trust and encouragement, EB would not have achieved such remarkable success.
What can we anticipate in terms of future developments at EB?
Given the rapid growth and ever-evolving nature of this industry, we expect ongoing changes on a daily basis. However, one thing remains constant: our commitment to delivering exceptional services to our valued clients. As a team, we will continue to expand our knowledge through continuous education in order to stay abreast of new techniques and remain up-to-date with the latest trends – whether or not we personally agree with them (ha-ha). Looking ahead towards our 10-year anniversary milestone, it is my hope that Enhanced Beauty and Wellness will be recognized as a clinic that consistently offers top-of-the-line services while remaining dedicated to achieving natural results, prioritizing safety, and providing patient education.
