Tell us about yourself?
My personal battle with cystic acne shaped my entire vision for Essence of L. For over 15 years, I struggled with emotional and physical pain from acne. I tried nearly every solution – prescriptions, OTC products – but nothing worked. Frustration eventually turned into determination. I immersed myself in understanding skincare and what worked and what did not, driving my passion for helping others who faced similar struggles.
Essence of L started as a personal mission to create effective, clean, acne-safe products. Over 20 years later, this mission remains – addressing not only acne but also concerns like pigmentation, melasma, and anti-aging to empower people to love and trust their skin again.
If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?
If I could go back in time a year or two, the advice I’d give myself would be to fully embrace the idea that growth comes from adaptability and trust – both in myself and those around me. I would remind myself that challenges and unexpected changes, while uncomfortable, often present the greatest opportunities for learning and innovation. Whether navigating shifts in the industry, expanding services, or rebranding, leaning into flexibility rather than clinging to a specific plan can lead to better outcomes than I could have imagined.
I’d also advise myself to prioritize delegation and not feel the need to carry every burden alone. Building a strong, capable team has been one of the most rewarding parts of my business journey, and trusting them with responsibilities not only lightens my load but also allows them to thrive and bring fresh perspectives to the table. Finally, I’d tell myself to pause and celebrate the small wins along the way. It’s easy to get caught up in the next goal, but taking time to acknowledge progress fosters gratitude and helps maintain a balanced mindset in both business and life.
What problem does your business solve?
Essence of L Medi Spa solves the problem of finding personalized, effective, and sustainable skincare solutions in a world overwhelmed by one-size-fits-all products and treatments. Many of our clients come to us frustrated after trying countless remedies for acne, aging, pigmentation, or other skin concerns without lasting results. We address this by providing a customized approach through advanced technologies like laser treatments, RF microneedling, and HydraFacials, combined with our carefully developed EOL Medical Skincare™ line, which is both acne-safe and results-driven.
Our goal is not just to treat the surface issues but to empower our clients with education and long-term strategies to maintain healthy, radiant skin. By creating tailored solutions that consider each client’s unique lifestyle, budget, and skin type, we bridge the gap between professional expertise and accessible skincare. This approach not only helps our clients achieve their immediate goals but also builds their confidence in managing their skin for years to come.
What is the inspiration behind your business?
The inspiration behind Essence of L Medi Spa stems from my personal skincare journey. After struggling with cystic acne for years and trying everything from prescription medications to skincare products that promised miracles but delivered disappointment, I realized there was a significant gap in the market for effective, acne-safe solutions. This frustration, coupled with my eventual success in clearing my own skin, inspired me to create a space where others could find real answers to their skincare concerns.
As my journey continued, I developed melasma and again faced the challenge of finding treatments and products that didn’t trigger breakouts while addressing pigmentation and anti-aging. This inspired me to focus on providing solutions for people like me – those struggling with acne, sensitive skin, and pigmentation – while also supporting those who simply want to maintain their skin’s health and glow.
The problem I’m solving is twofold: first, helping those who feel hopeless or overwhelmed by their skin challenges to find real, sustainable solutions; and second, offering education and tailored treatments in a world full of generic advice and products. My business is for anyone looking for a personalized approach to their skincare—whether they’re dealing with acne, aging, or just want to look and feel their best.
What is your magic sauce?
Our “magic sauce” lies in our ability to combine personal connection, expertise, and results-driven solutions to create an unparalleled client experience. Our business is rooted in my personal 15-year journey of overcoming acne and melasma, which allows me to empathize with clients and provide skincare solutions that genuinely work. We focus on education, empowering clients to understand their skin and make informed decisions.
Unlike other competitors, we offer highly customized treatments tailored to individual skin concerns, lifestyles, and goals, alongside our exclusive EOL Medical Skincare™ line, designed to address acne, melasma, and anti-aging. Our investment in cutting-edge technologies like Sylfirm X, Moxi, and BBL ensures we deliver evidence-based treatments with proven results.
We also differentiate ourselves by emphasizing a holistic approach to skincare, integrating lifestyle, nutrition, and mindset into our care plans. Our commitment to the community shines through our local involvement, donations, and the thoughtful touch of gifting every client a fresh Gerber daisy after each visit, a tradition that has endured throughout our 20 years in business.
Our longevity, numerous awards, and focus on acne-safe solutions set us apart, as does our dedication to building trust and empowering clients. At Essence of L Medi Spa, we’re not just about treatments – we’re about creating personalized, transformative skincare journeys that deliver real results.
What is the plan for the next 5 years?
Over the next five years, the vision for Essence of L Medi Spa is to continue evolving as a leader in medical aesthetics and skincare while expanding our reach, services, and impact. Our plan includes introducing cutting-edge technologies and developing specialized treatments.
We will grow our EOL Skincare line by launching new products that address a wider range of skin concerns, increasing accessibility through online sales and retail partnerships, and prioritizing sustainable, eco-friendly packaging.
To support this growth, we plan to explore expanding into additional locations while redesigning our current space to accommodate more treatment rooms and further enhance the client experience. Deepening our involvement in the community is equally important, and we will continue partnering with local charities, donating services and products, and participating in volunteer initiatives.
Our vision is to maintain our reputation as a trusted industry leader, striving for continued recognition and sharing our expertise on global platforms through podcasts, publications, and speaking engagements. Ultimately, our goal is to create a space where science meets compassion, offering innovative, results-driven skincare solutions that empower individuals to look and feel their best. By expanding our services, product line, and educational outreach, we aim to make Essence of L Medi Spa a globally recognized name known for exceptional results, unparalleled client care, and a lasting legacy of trust and innovation.
What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far?
Starting young and carving out space in a highly competitive industry presented its own challenges. One of my greatest obstacles was being taken seriously early in my career. Additionally, navigating the financial constraints of launching a business taught me the importance of resourcefulness and adaptability.
The pandemic was another hurdle that led to significant change. It forced us to pivot and focus more heavily on e-commerce while finding innovative ways to maintain our strong connection with clients virtually. These experiences have strengthened my resilience and taught me the importance of constant learning and flexibility.
