About Us: The Beginning
Essence of L began out of Leah’s desire for information and answers after over 15+ years of struggling through the pain of cystic acne. Throughout all the products, treatments, appointments, and dollars spent, Leah refused to believe that the ineffective ‘expert’ and ‘professional’ products and services she spent her money on were all out there.
Leah focused on studying medical skin care in depth, accessing all relevant training in her field, and keeping herself informed with the latest industry research. She graduated as a Certified Medical Esthetician from the renowned Blanche Macdonald Centre with honours and continued her extended medical education and training in:
• SkinTyte® II Sciton BBL
• BBL Photo Facials
• Forever Young BBL
• Forever Bare BBL Laser Hair Removal
• Thermo Coagulation from Dectro International
• Sylfirm X
• HydraFacial
• SkinPen
• LightStim
• Acne Therapies
• Halo
• Moxi
We Do the Research, So You Don’t Have To
Leah understands the emotional and physical toll severe acne can have on a person. The industry is full of miracle products and procedures that promise to cure all your skincare woes. Unfortunately, little regulation goes into the actual effectiveness of these products, and clients end up shelling out endless amounts of money only to suffer further disappointment.
The same can be said for beauty and cosmetic enhancement procedures and products. Drug stores line their shelves with lotions and cleansers full of promises, but many of these products are also full of pore-clogging ingredients, cheap fillers and fragrances that can irritate and worsen your skin condition. You can spend a lot of money on procedures that claim to be effective, but when performed by someone with minimal knowledge or training in the equipment, you risk ending up with less than optimal results and can even harm your skin or make it worse.
Clinic Standards
With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Leah understands the importance of meeting and exceeding all required guidelines in health and ethics. Essence of L Medi Spa maintains the highest standards in cleanliness, ethics, and cutting edge products and services. We are fully registered and licensed with the City of White Rock and are highly rated by the Fraser Health Board for cleanliness and ethical business practices. Our clinic undergoes regular equipment maintenance to ensure optimal performance and utilizes eco-friendly cleaning agents where permitted. Client education might be our number one philosophy, but we extend this same philosophy to ourselves. Leah regularly completes continuing education throughout the year to stay current on the latest news, science, and research in the field.
OUR CLIENTS
Our clients are the driving force behind everything we do at Essence of L Medi Spa. We aim first to educate our clients but remain amazed at how much we can learn from them. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to skincare, so we focus on getting to know our clients at their core. We have our clients to thank for the many innovations and products we bring to our clinic. If our clients have a need, we find a way to make it possible. This was when we launched our EOL Medical Skincare line. Many of our clients found it challenging to find medical-grade products that could address their needs in-depth without the irritating fillers and fragrances that usually turn them away. Since these products weren’t readily available, we created them ourselves! We always seek to be at the forefront of practical research and technology in the industry and take great pride in knowing our clients can expect to receive the best from our award-winning lower Mainland medi spa.
The Essence Of L Medi Spa Experience
Our clients can expect that their skincare needs and goals are met with every clinic visit. We know that many of our clients are busy working professionals who don’t have endless hours a day to set aside for a spa visit. This is why we do our best to ensure a tranquil, soothing environment that can deliver the desired results in the timeframe you require. Many of our treatments require little to no downtime, meaning you can be in and out of an appointment in 30 minutes to an hour.
Our staff is always welcoming and ready to answer any questions. Whether you read about a new treatment in a magazine and want to get our perspective or are concerned about a change you’re noticing, we are here to listen to all of your concerns.
One of the special touches that set us apart is our tradition of sending each client home with a fresh-cut Gerbera daisy after every appointment.This small but meaningful gesture symbolizes our commitment to making your experience unforgettable. It’s our way of saying thank you for trusting us with your care and to remind you of the beauty and confidence you carry with you.Come experience the personalized touch and see why this tradition has been a cherished part of the Essence of L story for over 20 years.
