Essentials Medi Spa - Medicine Hat

Our friendly and professionally trained Skin Health Specialists are ready to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Our registered nurse and cosmetic injector, Kara, was the first to join our team in Spring 2017.  In the cosmetic aesthetics industry it is rare that a nurse injector may receive anatomy training and direction for injection techniques from a specialist plastic surgeon.  Most cosmetic injectors receive their training from weekend or one day seminars, but Dr. Brooks wanted to be 100% confident in the skills and knowledge of our staff.  Dr. Brooks supports the continued professional development of our nurses at conferences, including Plastic Surgeon Mauricio De Maio’s MD Codes, Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist examination at ISPAN (the International Society of Plastic Surgery & Aesethetic Nurses) as a compliment to his instruction.  Dr. Brooks has trained with nationally recognized expert injectors including Calgary’s Dr. Kent Remington (dermatology),  Montreal’s Dr. Arthur Swift (plastic surgery) and Dr. Sebastian Cotofana (anatomy).  Lifelong learning is something we appreciate and are committed to.

Our certified aesthetician & advanced laser technician, Dalyce, joined the group in Spring 2018 and with the addition of Candela’s Gentle Max Pro Laser she began offering laser hair removal, laser spider-vein removal, sun spot removal, photofacials, and Alumier MD chemical peels.  The PicoWay laser completed her arsenal in Spring 2019.  Dalyce runs the picosecond Resolve hand piece for laser facial treatments to target acne scarring, melasma, & overall sun damage and the Zoom hand piece for dark spot & tattoo removal.  Dalyce has attended multiple advanced laser training seminars; she is capable of offering a wide range of treatment plans.  We can’t wait for you to see her results for yourself!

A second certified aesthetician, Sara,  specializing in microblading eyebrows joined the team in Fall 2018.  Sara continued her training to become certified in HydraFacial, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, micro-needling, and paramedical stretch mark & scar camouflage.

To keep up with the phone and over double the number of people seen each day, in Fall 2018, we hired Dena. Dena has over 15 years of experience and it shows.  You will love chatting with her on the phone or in person.

Our third certified aesthetician, Amanda, joined our crew in August 2020.  Amanda incorporates Hungarian massage techniques in her luxury medical facials. Under direction of Dr. Brooks she offers our patients Morpheus8 treatments (radio-frequency with micro-needling) for skin tightening. With over 9 years of experience she has a vast knowledge of medical skin care ingredients and their uses.

In August of 2021 we welcomed a second aesthetic nurse, Kelsey.  Kelsey took both the Botox Course & Filler Course training in Calgary with Dr. Andrew Dargie.  Kelsey was eager to join a plastic surgery practice where she can further her aesthetic training with experienced colleagues.

Tenille accepted a position as receptionist and medical office assistant in October 2021.  She is dedicated to professionalism and kindness when helping our patients and we are confident you will feel taken care of.

The 9 of us on staff simply love what we do.
