Step into the world of medical aesthetics with Maggie McIntyre, founder of Rejuvalase Medspa, as she celebrates an impressive 18-year journey as one of the pioneering medical spas in the Stafford-Fredericksburg area. With a unique background blending education and nursing, Maggie has created not just a thriving medical spa but also a comprehensive training center that educates the next generation of aesthetic professionals—including many who become her competitors.
Maggie expertly demystifies what exactly a medical spa is, explaining how these facilities bridge the gap between traditional day spas and plastic surgery centers by offering medical-grade corrective treatments alongside relaxing maintenance services. She tackles persistent misconceptions about treatments like Botox and fillers, revealing that natural-looking results are absolutely possible with proper technique. "The goal," she explains, "is for clients to look refreshed in a way that has friends wondering what's different, not immediately spotting obvious work." Her insider knowledge about the small amount of product actually used (a syringe of filler contains just the volume of a blueberry) and safety protocols provides valuable education for anyone considering aesthetic treatments.
What truly sets Rejuvalase apart is its personalized approach to client care. Every treatment plan begins with clients identifying features they already love about themselves—creating a foundation of positivity rather than criticism. This philosophy extends to Maggie's newest venture as well: a podcast featuring women entrepreneurs that aims to go beyond the polished "boss babe" façade to reveal the authentic struggles and triumphs behind successful women's journeys. Her refreshing honesty about being a "classic workaholic with mom guilt" who recharges with Netflix on the couch rather than constant networking offers a glimpse into the real person behind the successful business. Ready to experience aesthetic treatments from practitioners who prioritize education, safety, and natural results?

favorite local brands.
Today, I am joined by MaggieMcIntyre of Rejuvalase Medspa.
Maggie, welcome to the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Thank you so much for having me.
I'm excited but a littlenervous.
This is my first podcastinterview.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
You're going to do great.
It's going to be fun.
So let's start by sharing alittle bit about your business.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I'd love to learn more.
Tell us about Rejuvalase Medspa.
Sure, Rejuvalase Meds pa is awhat it says.
It's a medical spa in Stafford,virginia, north Stafford.
We opened about 18 years ago,so we have been here.
We're one of the firstestablished medical spas in the
Stafford-Fredericksburg area.
In addition to being a medicalspa, we also have an aesthetic
school, nova Laser andAesthetics Training, and we
(01:07):
train up and coming estheticianswith both a basic and a
master's program, and we alsotrain actually a lot of our
competition.
We have injectors that we havea program for injectors, so we
train other physicians and RNsmedical professionals looking to
get into aesthetic injectables.
We train them at our school aswell.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Amazing.
So first congratulations on 18years in business.
That's a really big deal,Congratulations.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Thank you, my, you know I don't know.
My body feels it, my mind feelsit.
The makeup helps to cover allof that.
But 18 years does something toa person.
But I'm really, really gratefulfor it.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, yeah, that's amazing and I love that you also
have a training program.
You know so many local businessowners struggle with finding
good talent.
You're creating your own goodtalent, so what a cool pairing
of business you have there.
That's really cool.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Well, they say that necessity is the mother of
invention, and so that struggleI was.
Actually, before I got into,before I opened my medical spa,
I'd been in education.
I was a public educator,actually worked in Stafford
County Public Schools for a fewyears too, educator, actually
worked in Stafford County PublicSchools for a few years too,
did my grad work, in that I wasa special education teacher and
(02:29):
had been a nursing major incollege.
And then it's like I couldn'tfigure out what I wanted to do.
So I blended the two together,opened up a medical spa and then
, within a year or two, openedup the training facility.
But that need for well-educated, that need for well-educated,
(02:50):
well-trained individuals was my,you know, was the inspiration
behind opening up the trainingcenter.
Because I said, well, I'malready doing it, I'm already
training these people, so whynot, you know, have that option
for the area?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, so interesting.
So, as a teacher turnedentrepreneur, you already have
an education focus, beingtrained in education, so it
makes it makes sense that youwent that route.
I love that so much, yeah, solet me ask you this Do you find
that there are any myths ormisconceptions when it comes to
(03:23):
your business?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
are any myths or misconceptions when it comes to
your business?
I think there are a lot.
Actually, the biggest myth andmisconception, I would say is
that.
So people wonder what a medicalspa is, and it's a big umbrella
.
So, just to break it down, amedical spa is it has a lot of
variations, but think of a dayspa.
So think of skincare, facials,waxing, some of the basics that
(03:48):
go with any day spa.
And then the medical spacomponent is going to be the use
of devices or products that youhave to have a medical license
for.
It could be laser hair removal,although that's not necessarily
that you need a medical licensefor, but laser hair removal,
although that's not necessarilythat you need a medical license
for.
But laser hair removal, tattooremoval, spider vein reduction,
(04:08):
photo rejuvenation, getting ridof brown spots, broken
capillaries, skin tightening andthen, of course, botox filler,
kybella injections, cellulitetreatments, those things.
And so we're taking it up anotch from this sort of recovery
maintenance protocol that youfind more in a day spa, and
we're now getting into thecorrective and preventive as
(04:32):
well, but a lot of correctivework on the med spa side, and
then from there you would gointo, you know, a more invasive
procedures if you wanted to,such as with the plastics or a
derm, but we're kind of that inbetween.
Now, med spas can also havephysicians there doing plastics
as part of that business.
But generally speaking, that'swhat a medical spa is, and so,
(04:56):
with that being said, there is alot out there a lot of
misconceptions about botox orother neurotoxins.
There.
There's Dysport, daxify, juvo,lots of them.
And then about fillers A lot ofpeople think that we're just,
you know, felt like if you getfiller done, that your lips are
going to be huge, you know thatyour cheeks are going to be
(05:17):
exploded, that if you've Botoxyou're frozen and you can't have
any expression, and that simplyisn't true.
Of course, hollywood movieshave done a really great job of
of, you know, showing that as acomical part of their movies,
but it's just inaccurate thatcertainly those things can
happen, but that's typicallyjust like an abuse of the
(05:38):
product.
Um, it's when injectors or, youknow, other professionals don't
know when to say no to theirpatient and to say, hey, it's
too much, you've had plenty, weneed to slow this down a little
bit and that's when you can geta lot of overfilling.
But the amount of product in asyringe is about the size of a
(06:00):
blueberry, so it's a very smallamount.
It's one ml and so a goodinjector is able to inject and
treat somebody.
So they look good, they lookrefreshed.
Their friends are wonderingwhat they had done, because they
can't quite put place theirfinger on it, because they look
good.
But they look good naturally.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I love that they look good, but they look good
naturally, right.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
We don't want to overfill you.
You know, certainly it canhappen to a point, and overfill,
of course, is, I guess,subjective.
Some, you know, if you can seethat anybody has augmented their
lips, you might say, oh, I cantell you did your lips.
But there is a differencebetween plumping them up and
crisping up the borders versusthis, you know, explosive, like
swollen look.
Yeah.
(06:46):
So I personally I'll just putit out there I had overfilled
mine a little bit and a coupleyears ago and had some migration
, so I went in and actuallydissolved it, and so that's
something that we do a lot oftoo.
For people that have beenoverfilled just over the years
of doing this, typically, youknow, they've come maybe from
other places or they've doneseveral rounds of lip filler
over the years and it's juststarting to migrate, which can
(07:09):
happen.
We do a lot of dissolving andthen, after it dissolves, then
we start from ground zero.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Interesting I didn't realize that there was a
correction for that, so that'sgood to know.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Yes, and I will say this for that.
So that's good to know.
Yes, and I will say this justas a side note for safety
wherever you go, if you'regetting injections done, you
want to make sure that they havea first aid or I should say a
crash kit, an injector's crashkit, and part of that crash kit
should be a minimum of eightvials of that dissolve in case
there was an occlusion orsomething like that.
(07:42):
Incredibly low risk or chanceof that dissolve in case there
was an occlusion or somethinglike that Incredibly low risk or
chance of that happening.
But these are the safety pointsthat a lot of people don't know
, and it makes a difference in aresponsible injector versus a
fly-by-night injector.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Wow, wow.
Thank you for sharing that, andI imagine your clients get a
lot of, I guess, reassurance andrelief and trust that not only
are you practicing thesetechniques, but you're teaching
it as well.
So you have a different levelof expertise, so you're you're
(08:21):
kind of another level.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I, I, I pride myself on being educated.
What I will say is thateducation is something that is
ongoing and continuous.
So I, you know, bow down to the, to so many of the the amazing,
the amazing injectors in thenorthern Virginia area that I've
had the opportunities to workwith and beyond.
(08:45):
One of my biggest businessexpenses has been the training,
because I have traveled outsideof the US as well as within the
US to train with some of thebest in the country and outside
of the US as well as within theUS to train with some of the
best in the country and outsideof the country.
So my training is something Ispend a lot of time and money on
(09:06):
and it is ongoing because youcan always be better.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, that's impressive how much you do.
I love that, thank you.
So you clearly are working hardand spending a lot of time on
your education as well.
So tell me, when you're notworking, what are you doing for
fun?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Man, I have no life.
I am the classic workaholic,classic working mom with mom
guilt you know, two of my kidsare raised, if you will, and out
of the house I've got one morelittle one at home.
She's not little, but you knowto me she's little.
But I would say that while Ilove a good time every once in a
(09:49):
while you know the glitz andglam can be fun I am all about
let's order in and watch a movieon the couch.
All about let's order in andwatch a movie on the couch.
My boyfriend I have awonderfully supportive boyfriend
, which you know if you are abusiness owner.
I think anyone that's been inbusiness for a long time is
really committed and driven.
Your partner has to.
(10:10):
I mean kudos to the partnersthat are really supportive,
because it requires a lot ofpatience and understanding
because they can kind of be puton the back burner a little bit.
So I'm grateful for a partnerthat is incredibly supportive
and very, very proud of me andvery hey, how can I help you?
And as a result, he gets most ofmy time on the weekends besides
(10:33):
my kids because he's you knowit's, it's a relationship worth
investing in and we um just havea really good time.
We'll go out to wineries.
I love Potomac point winery.
Shout out to them, uh, they'rehere in Stafford.
Uh, love going there.
Um love going to gosh theFredericksburg uh, so many great
places in Fredericksburg.
I love going um for dinner anddrinks, but otherwise um other
(10:56):
than some travel.
You're going to catch me on thecouch.
I can't lie.
It's Netflix and chill Netflixand chill.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Nice, I love that.
Well, with the fast pace ofyour business, sometimes you
just need to slow down andNetflix and chill.
I love it.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I think too the nature of the business.
I am face to face with peopleall day long, whether it's my
staff or my clients, and both ofthem I mean.
I have a wonderful staff, atalented staff that we invest in
their education, and they dothe same, and I have wonderful
(11:31):
clients, but it is constantly,it's constant FaceTime.
So I am social, my socialbattery is just kind of gone you
know, by the end of the week.
So I think that's part of it too.
I've done my socializing.
I've done it at work all weeklong, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
That makes a lot of sense.
So I hear you're starting apodcast.
Tell us all about it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yes, you know, first of all, this, it's no-transcript
(12:40):
directions.
I guess that we could go withit, but my focus right now has
really been on.
I will have men on the show Ihave one in particular that I'd
like to interview but generallyright now we're focusing on
women, women entrepreneurs,women that have had these unique
stories that they would like toshare and that we feel like we
(13:03):
want told and we get into.
We talk to them about theirbusinesses and the course you
know it took to get them there.
But we also really kind offocus, we take it into more of a
personal realm of, like, thehardships that they've gone
through, the things that I guesswhat I would say is we're
(13:27):
dispelling the veil of boss babeand saying, okay, you're a boss
, babe Got it.
Let's talk about that, let'sshare that because you've worked
hard for it.
But let's also get real, becausethere's a lot of women out
there that are looking at youwatching your moves on social,
watching your moves when you'reat work and thinking, man, she's
got it all together and in alot of ways, maybe maybe they do
(13:50):
, maybe we do, but I know thereality behind that camera, you
know, I know the reality thathits me at home and I think that
camera.
You know, I know the realitythat hits me at home and I think
it's important for us to shedsome of that.
Especially in an aestheticworld looking good, feeling good
that's really important.
Um, there's a value to thatbeyond just a vanity.
But I also think it's importantto say that we crash out, that
(14:12):
we have hard times and that wegive a platform so that women
can hear what we've been throughand what we deal with, so that
they can relate and just maybehave some inspiration that way.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I love your concept so much.
It sounds like so much fun withreal conversation, so I will
definitely be listening in.
I love it All right.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Just give us a break on our first season, because
we're still getting our feet wet, but I love it.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
All right, just give us a break on our first season,
because we're still getting ourfeet wet.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
But I appreciate it.
I'm thinking I guess the way Iput it was kind of thinking of
like having lunch with agirlfriend that you haven't seen
in a while.
And you guys are just kind ofdarting all over with
conversation.
So we want, so there's going tobe some of that, but it's going
to be talking about, like Isaid, the business stuff.
But then when you get with thatgirlfriend that you're close to
that you haven't seen in awhile, you get a little deep and
you touch on some things thatyou really need to get off your
(15:02):
chest and so that's kind of theimpetus behind this.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, sounds like fun .
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, it is.
It has been so far.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
That's awesome, congratulations.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Thank you, I'm excited about it.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
So what is something?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
that you wish the listeners knew about Rejuvalase
Medspa.
I think that's a great.
That is a great question.
I think that I touched on itwith the education.
I think that this is somethingand I know this isn't quite your
question.
But, getting to this, Iactually just met with Brian
Lamb from collage yesterday.
(15:41):
We had lunch best time.
That's great Anyhow, I probablywill edit that out but we had a
great conversation aboutbusiness, because he's been in
business for a long time too andwhat I can say is when we we
(16:02):
started so long ago that I feellike, even though we we
advertise and we are verycurrent with with the trends and
the equipment and we we keepvery well educated and current
with everything, I feel like wewe didn't stay as active
socially for a while as otherplaces did because we were
(16:26):
working in the business andmaybe not so much on the
business and, as a result, Ifeel like I'm this my personal,
like you know, perception couldbe different, but for me I feel
like I'm having to do a littlecatch up now and work on it, in
the sense that even though ourname's been out there for a long
(16:47):
time and we've got a greatreputation, thankfully, um,
there's always more that can bedone, and I feel like a lot of
the things that we do, theinvestments we make in education
, the training that we have, thethings that truly set us apart
from so many other providers,aren't known.
So I think, kind of going backto what I already talked about,
education wise, as part of that,one of the things we do too
(17:13):
that I think is is unique to us,but I think it's good, I think
any provider should really do itis we create custom treatment
plans.
The treatment plan we don't wedon't treat everybody this with
the same.
We may not treat it.
Or we don't treat everybodywith the same product.
The treatment plan we don't.
We don't treat everybody thiswith the same.
We may not treat it.
Or we don't treat everybodywith the same product the same
number of units, the same amountof product.
(17:33):
You know it's.
It's very unique to theindividual because their goals,
their wants and their bodies isdifferent, and so we create
that's something that we'veworked hard to do is to create a
custom treatment plans that wecan print out and put in hand of
our medical spa clients so thatthey have a reason why we're
(17:54):
doing what we're doing and, hey,we heard what you said.
Here are your complaints or yourconcerns.
We also make them.
Start with tell me somethingthat you really like about
yourself.
Tell me the things about youthat you really enjoy.
Do you like your eye color?
Do you like your smile?
Let's talk about those thingsbecause, even though you're
coming in here for us to corrector improve, we can also
(18:15):
highlight and emphasize thethings that you're already happy
about, and this isn't a placeto beat yourself up with.
So we want you to come in andactually start with the positive
.
So I make my clients list twoto three things that when they
look in the mirror and I handthem a mirror that they like
when they see, and if they havetrouble doing it, I sure as hell
I'm going to help them, becausethere's something beautiful
(18:36):
about everybody that comesthrough that door.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
That's so so I think that approach.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Thanks, I think.
So.
I think, knowing that you'regoing to come in and get a
customized treatment plan, thatwe're going to hear you and
tailor it to you there's nopressure with it Do as much or
as little as you want and thatyou're also coming to a place
that is that is truly focused onour relationships with our
clients and is really focused oneducating and staying current
so that you can come to a placethat you feel comfortable in.
(19:05):
You're coming to see yourfriends, but your friends are
very well established and knowwhat they're doing.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Amazing, amazing.
I love that.
So if the listeners want tolearn from you or connect with

any expression, and that simplyisn't true.
Of course, hollywood movieshave done a really great job of
of, you know, showing that as acomical part of their movies,
but it's just inaccurate thatcertainly those things can
happen, but that's typicallyjust like an abuse of the
(05:38):
product.
Um, it's when injectors or, youknow, other professionals don't
know when to say no to theirpatient and to say, hey, it's
too much, you've had plenty, weneed to slow this down a little
bit and that's when you can geta lot of overfilling.
But the amount of product in asyringe is about the size of a
(06:00):
blueberry, so it's a very smallamount.
It's one ml and so a goodinjector is able to inject and
treat somebody.
So they look good, they lookrefreshed.
Their friends are wonderingwhat they had done, because they
can't quite put place theirfinger on it, because they look
good.
But they look good naturally.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I love that they look good, but they look good
naturally, right.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
We don't want to overfill you.
You know, certainly it canhappen to a point, and overfill,
of course, is, I guess,subjective.
Some, you know, if you can seethat anybody has augmented their
lips, you might say, oh, I cantell you did your lips.
But there is a differencebetween plumping them up and
crisping up the borders versusthis, you know, explosive, like
swollen look.
Yeah.
(06:46):
So I personally I'll just putit out there I had overfilled
mine a little bit and a coupleyears ago and had some migration
, so I went in and actuallydissolved it, and so that's
something that we do a lot oftoo.
For people that have beenoverfilled just over the years
of doing this, typically, youknow, they've come maybe from
other places or they've doneseveral rounds of lip filler
over the years and it's juststarting to migrate, which can
(07:09):
happen.
We do a lot of dissolving andthen, after it dissolves, then
we start from ground zero.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Interesting I didn't realize that there was a
correction for that, so that'sgood to know.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Yes, and I will say this for that.
So that's good to know.
Yes, and I will say this justas a side note for safety
wherever you go, if you'regetting injections done, you
want to make sure that they havea first aid or I should say a
crash kit, an injector's crashkit, and part of that crash kit
should be a minimum of eightvials of that dissolve in case
there was an occlusion orsomething like that.
(07:42):
Incredibly low risk or chanceof that dissolve in case there
was an occlusion or somethinglike that Incredibly low risk or
chance of that happening.
But these are the safety pointsthat a lot of people don't know
, and it makes a difference in aresponsible injector versus a
fly-by-night injector.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Wow, wow.
Thank you for sharing that, andI imagine your clients get a
lot of, I guess, reassurance andrelief and trust that not only
are you practicing thesetechniques, but you're teaching
it as well.
So you have a different levelof expertise, so you're you're
(08:21):
kind of another level.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I, I, I pride myself on being educated.
What I will say is thateducation is something that is
ongoing and continuous.
So I, you know, bow down to the, to so many of the the amazing,
the amazing injectors in thenorthern Virginia area that I've
had the opportunities to workwith and beyond.
(08:45):
One of my biggest businessexpenses has been the training,
because I have traveled outsideof the US as well as within the
US to train with some of thebest in the country and outside
of the US as well as within theUS to train with some of the
best in the country and outsideof the country.
So my training is something Ispend a lot of time and money on
(09:06):
and it is ongoing because youcan always be better.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, that's impressive how much you do.
I love that, thank you.
So you clearly are working hardand spending a lot of time on
your education as well.
So tell me, when you're notworking, what are you doing for
fun?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Man, I have no life.
I am the classic workaholic,classic working mom with mom
guilt you know, two of my kidsare raised, if you will, and out
of the house I've got one morelittle one at home.
She's not little, but you knowto me she's little.
But I would say that while Ilove a good time every once in a
(09:49):
while you know the glitz andglam can be fun I am all about
let's order in and watch a movieon the couch.
All about let's order in andwatch a movie on the couch.
My boyfriend I have awonderfully supportive boyfriend
, which you know if you are abusiness owner.
I think anyone that's been inbusiness for a long time is
really committed and driven.
Your partner has to.
(10:10):
I mean kudos to the partnersthat are really supportive,
because it requires a lot ofpatience and understanding
because they can kind of be puton the back burner a little bit.
So I'm grateful for a partnerthat is incredibly supportive
and very, very proud of me andvery hey, how can I help you?
And as a result, he gets most ofmy time on the weekends besides
(10:33):
my kids because he's you knowit's, it's a relationship worth
investing in and we um just havea really good time.
We'll go out to wineries.
I love Potomac point winery.
Shout out to them, uh, they'rehere in Stafford.
Uh, love going there.
Um love going to gosh theFredericksburg uh, so many great
places in Fredericksburg.
I love going um for dinner anddrinks, but otherwise um other
(10:56):
than some travel.
You're going to catch me on thecouch.
I can't lie.
It's Netflix and chill Netflixand chill.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Nice, I love that.
Well, with the fast pace ofyour business, sometimes you
just need to slow down andNetflix and chill.
I love it.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I think too the nature of the business.
I am face to face with peopleall day long, whether it's my
staff or my clients, and both ofthem I mean.
I have a wonderful staff, atalented staff that we invest in
their education, and they dothe same, and I have wonderful
(11:31):
clients, but it is constantly,it's constant FaceTime.
So I am social, my socialbattery is just kind of gone you
know, by the end of the week.
So I think that's part of it too.
I've done my socializing.
I've done it at work all weeklong, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
That makes a lot of sense.
So I hear you're starting apodcast.
Tell us all about it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yes, you know, first of all, this, it's no-transcript
(12:40):
directions.
I guess that we could go withit, but my focus right now has
really been on.
I will have men on the show Ihave one in particular that I'd
like to interview but generallyright now we're focusing on
women, women entrepreneurs,women that have had these unique
stories that they would like toshare and that we feel like we
(13:03):
want told and we get into.
We talk to them about theirbusinesses and the course you
know it took to get them there.
But we also really kind offocus, we take it into more of a
personal realm of, like, thehardships that they've gone
through, the things that I guesswhat I would say is we're
(13:27):
dispelling the veil of boss babeand saying, okay, you're a boss
, babe Got it.
Let's talk about that, let'sshare that because you've worked
hard for it.
But let's also get real, becausethere's a lot of women out
there that are looking at youwatching your moves on social,
watching your moves when you'reat work and thinking, man, she's
got it all together and in alot of ways, maybe maybe they do
(13:50):
, maybe we do, but I know thereality behind that camera, you
know, I know the reality thathits me at home and I think that
camera.
You know, I know the realitythat hits me at home and I think
it's important for us to shedsome of that.
Especially in an aestheticworld looking good, feeling good
that's really important.
Um, there's a value to thatbeyond just a vanity.
But I also think it's importantto say that we crash out, that
(14:12):
we have hard times and that wegive a platform so that women
can hear what we've been throughand what we deal with, so that
they can relate and just maybehave some inspiration that way.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I love your concept so much.
It sounds like so much fun withreal conversation, so I will
definitely be listening in.
I love it All right.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Just give us a break on our first season, because
we're still getting our feet wet, but I love it.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
All right, just give us a break on our first season,
because we're still getting ourfeet wet.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
But I appreciate it.
I'm thinking I guess the way Iput it was kind of thinking of
like having lunch with agirlfriend that you haven't seen
in a while.
And you guys are just kind ofdarting all over with
conversation.
So we want, so there's going tobe some of that, but it's going
to be talking about, like Isaid, the business stuff.
But then when you get with thatgirlfriend that you're close to
that you haven't seen in awhile, you get a little deep and
you touch on some things thatyou really need to get off your
(15:02):
chest and so that's kind of theimpetus behind this.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, sounds like fun .
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, it is.
It has been so far.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
That's awesome, congratulations.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Thank you, I'm excited about it.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
So what is something?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
that you wish the listeners knew about Rejuvalase
Medspa.
I think that's a great.
That is a great question.
I think that I touched on itwith the education.
I think that this is somethingand I know this isn't quite your
question.
But, getting to this, Iactually just met with Brian
Lamb from collage yesterday.
(15:41):
We had lunch best time.
That's great Anyhow, I probablywill edit that out but we had a
great conversation aboutbusiness, because he's been in
business for a long time too andwhat I can say is when we we
(16:02):
started so long ago that I feellike, even though we we
advertise and we are verycurrent with with the trends and
the equipment and we we keepvery well educated and current
with everything, I feel like wewe didn't stay as active
socially for a while as otherplaces did because we were
(16:26):
working in the business andmaybe not so much on the
business and, as a result, Ifeel like I'm this my personal,
like you know, perception couldbe different, but for me I feel
like I'm having to do a littlecatch up now and work on it, in
the sense that even though ourname's been out there for a long
(16:47):
time and we've got a greatreputation, thankfully, um,
there's always more that can bedone, and I feel like a lot of
the things that we do, theinvestments we make in education
, the training that we have, thethings that truly set us apart
from so many other providers,aren't known.
So I think, kind of going backto what I already talked about,
education wise, as part of that,one of the things we do too
(17:13):
that I think is is unique to us,but I think it's good, I think
any provider should really do itis we create custom treatment
plans.
The treatment plan we don't wedon't treat everybody this with
the same.
We may not treat it.
Or we don't treat everybodywith the same product.
The treatment plan we don't.
We don't treat everybody thiswith the same.
We may not treat it.
Or we don't treat everybodywith the same product the same
number of units, the same amountof product.
(17:33):
You know it's.
It's very unique to theindividual because their goals,
their wants and their bodies isdifferent, and so we create
that's something that we'veworked hard to do is to create a
custom treatment plans that wecan print out and put in hand of
our medical spa clients so thatthey have a reason why we're
(17:54):
doing what we're doing and, hey,we heard what you said.
Here are your complaints or yourconcerns.
We also make them.
Start with tell me somethingthat you really like about
yourself.
Tell me the things about youthat you really enjoy.
Do you like your eye color?
Do you like your smile?
Let's talk about those thingsbecause, even though you're
coming in here for us to corrector improve, we can also
(18:15):
highlight and emphasize thethings that you're already happy
about, and this isn't a placeto beat yourself up with.
So we want you to come in andactually start with the positive
.
So I make my clients list twoto three things that when they
look in the mirror and I handthem a mirror that they like
when they see, and if they havetrouble doing it, I sure as hell
I'm going to help them, becausethere's something beautiful
(18:36):
about everybody that comesthrough that door.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
That's so so I think that approach.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Thanks, I think.
So.
I think, knowing that you'regoing to come in and get a
customized treatment plan, thatwe're going to hear you and
tailor it to you there's nopressure with it Do as much or
as little as you want and thatyou're also coming to a place
that is that is truly focused onour relationships with our
clients and is really focused oneducating and staying current
so that you can come to a placethat you feel comfortable in.
(19:05):
You're coming to see yourfriends, but your friends are
very well established and knowwhat they're doing.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Amazing, amazing.
I love that.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
