“I’m a believer in ‘better grade, better quality— safer, more effective, better results’.”
- Diane MacDonald
“I became more interested in skin and skin issues as I aged and saw the negative effects the environment was creating in my own skin as well as family and friends,” she says. “As I searched for solutions to correct and prevent, it became very apparent that the treatments, products and procedures to reduce, prevent and repair these common concerns were not available anywhere nearby.” Her interest immediately peaked and her journey into skincare began, leading her to take courses and receive training across North America, including Toronto, California, and Florida. “The more I learned, the more passionate I became. The field of medical aesthetics never stops advancing so you never stop learning and advancing and I love that.” Soon after her training MacDonald opened Youthful You Spa to offer people the services that were not accessible on the island at that time. “I had planned from the beginning of my interest in the field that I would always own my own business and not be restricted in the way I progressed the business, including my vision, my successes, my failures,” she says. “It’s
easy to stay passionate and love what you do if it’s the path you want to follow and not someone else’s vision.” According to MacDonald, skin care should be simple and include good quality and effective products to maintain skin. “Simple means people will stick with it. Good quality means you get your money’s worth. Without good quality products skin will deteriorate faster from environmental exposure and natural aging.” Good quality products and effective methods are what MacDonald prides herself on when it comes to best serving her clientele. She continues to seek out the most up-to-date education, training, and technology so she’s able to offer the best and most efficient options for her clients and their concerns. The spa helps clients solve a multitude of skin issues, including face and body contouring and skin rejuvenation, and provides innovative technologies to promote, correct, and enhance vibrant skin in both men and women. Among the technologies the spa uses includes “SkinPen,” the only medical grade micro needling pen on the market that helps reduce lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring. The newest device at the spa is “Plexr” plasma generator, the only Health Canada approved plasma
generator to date, which has the ability to remove and tighten sagging skin, and to remove a mole, keloid, scar, brown spot etc with no residual mark left behind. Says MacDonald: “I’m a believer in ‘better grade, better quality= safer, more effective, better results’.” Because no two people have exactly the same skin concerns or want to use the same methods to improve their skin, MacDonald likes to meet with clients so they can explain to her their desires for their skin. From there she will assess their skin and offer individualized treatment plans to achieve their goals. When people leave her spa, “they love the results and looking in the mirror and feeling happy with what they see.”
