Cris Kambouris real estate team we want to
0:10
welcome you to Stillwater Medical Spa
0:12
here in East Windsor we’re here with the
0:15
owner Sarah Rivard and we’re going to
0:17
ask her a few questions about the
0:18
business and first of all we just want
0:20
to ask Sarah you know let us know a
0:22
little bit about yourself and your
0:23
background and your training so far yeah
0:26
well thanks Chris for having me uh this
0:29
is my 19th year now in clinical
0:31
aesthetic medicine and I come from the
0:34
big city of the GTA in Mississauga
0:37
Toronto area I’ve been now in Windsor
0:39
for quite a few years and I decided that
0:43
I really wanted to basically bridge that
0:46
gap between
0:48
um Day Spa and clinical care so if you
0:51
weren’t born with it
0:53
um and it’s not affecting your health
0:54
then that is actually aesthetic medicine
0:57
so I’ve been doing this now quite a long
0:59
time and my passion is to help people
1:01
feel beautiful
1:03
um without breaking their Bank Chris
1:06
okay okay so basically let us know Sarah
1:09
how long you’ve been in business uh
1:12
early April 2019 we found this big
1:14
location here and I had the vision of
1:17
creating a very large space it’s almost
1:19
4 000 square feet and we gutted it and
1:22
made it as beautiful as we could uh for
1:24
Windsor uh where it could be a beautiful
1:27
space as a day spa a full day spa and
1:29
then also clinical skincare so we’ve
1:32
been in business we opened December the
1:34
6th and believe it or not we had to
1:37
close just a few weeks later in March of
1:39
2020 yet at the same time we’ve made it
1:43
through that Global Hiccup and now we’re
1:46
here meeting over just under 3 000
1:48
people already so we’ve done really well
1:51
quickly excellent excellent so um if you
1:54
want to let the audience know services
1:56
and products that you offer
1:59
um you know on a daily basis and yeah
2:02
yeah Chris so I think the the big Niche
2:06
that we have is that we deal do with
2:08
corrections so correction is really the
2:11
key I always ask people where is your
2:14
nutrition where uh what are you using on
2:16
your skin it’s an organ right it’s our
2:18
most exposed organ and our first shield
2:21
of Defense so uh I think our Niche here
2:24
is that we work really hard with all of
2:27
our products are pretty well vegan so um
2:30
basically plant and fruit derived and
2:33
globally number one
2:35
um for the decade now our main line
2:37
where we carry it’s Pure Nutrition you
2:39
could eat it if you’re weird we always
2:41
say that so it’s just a great
2:44
um it’s a great way to feed the skin
2:47
nutrition we were born perfect and then
2:49
life happened and so that is basically
2:51
the types of product that we use here uh
2:54
you could offer it to your child uh with
2:57
no concern so that’s a big passion of
2:59
ours is to feed the skin nutrition and
3:02
the second I guess service and products
3:04
is uh we have a ton of Day Spa so the
3:09
clinical heel peels are really special
3:11
and we have so many gentlemen because
3:13
they’re on their feet and it’s the last
3:15
place the furthest from the heart that
3:17
gets the most attention so what we do is
3:19
we
3:20
um we remove the the callus it’s really
3:23
cool it kind of comes off with a spatula
3:25
it’s painless and then we actually
3:28
correct the trigger which is the cracks
3:30
in the heels so we have that clinical
3:31
side and then if you wish to leave with
3:35
some Polish we also have the faux
3:36
pedicure so we we’ve kind of bridged
3:38
that Gap where it’s just Day Spa and
3:41
then also correction excellent excellent
3:44
um also
3:45
um so let us know any unique or
3:49
Specialty Products or services that you
3:51
offer something where you would go into
3:53
different either medical spa or you know
3:56
just a typical spot in Windsor they
3:58
don’t offer that what
3:59
would something like that be yeah yeah
4:01
so most people don’t know that
4:05
um I guess myself as a medical director
4:06
I’m able to uh remove skin tags Amelia
4:11
so hard things caught Under the Skin
4:13
actinic keratosis those hard
4:16
um large brown bumps that are on your
4:19
face so consultations are always
4:21
complementary and we always require that
4:23
but we’re actually able to take care of
4:26
conditions that just arrive probably
4:29
from a lot of sun damage or things like
4:32
that so that’s very Niche yeah and and
4:35
we also do a lot of infusion with
4:37
vitamins very very deep in the skin with
4:39
the new face of skin care which is
4:41
called
4:42
Nano infusion so it’s all vitamins now
4:46
just give me a few examples of let’s say
4:49
someone who came into the clinic that
4:51
had a certain condition or you know
4:53
something that they may be asked around
4:56
or you know just couldn’t get it offered
4:59
somewhere else excuse me a couple
5:00
examples of that awesome question yes so
5:03
a big thing I’ve learned since I’ve been
5:05
in Windsor is a lot of people have
5:07
lasers and not everyone has skin that is
5:12
ready for that laser beam lasers are
5:14
condensed heat so what I do is I feed
5:18
the skin through Nano vitamins nutrition
5:20
and what we’re actually doing is we’re
5:22
thickening The Matrix so the thickness
5:25
of the skin so that way we can remove
5:27
things in our thinnest tissue like
5:29
dilated capillaries like rosacea vessels
5:33
a lot of blood caught in here so I’ll
5:35
aim the laser at that after we’ve built
5:38
the skin with
5:40
um a lot of growth factors which is
5:43
really kind of cool so we’re thickening
5:45
the skin through micro needling we use
5:47
that under anesthetic and we build we
5:50
call it what’s called collagen induction
5:52
therapy so we’re constantly stimulating
5:54
new cells thickening the skin then I
5:56
approach the laser with it so then we
5:58
can remove vessels veins hair
6:02
um again lesions all kinds of things so
6:05
yeah we’re kind of niched that way where
6:07
if you weren’t born with it and it
6:09
doesn’t affect your health we’ll tackle
6:11
it
6:12
very interesting honestly I’ve learned a
6:14
lot wait you even think so that’s great
6:15
definitely
6:17
um okay so I guess um if anybody else uh
6:21
you know if you have any questions
6:22
regarding anything
6:24
um You can call Sarah directly we’re
6:25

6:28
