Natural beauty comes from within, believes Thousand Oaks med spa Owner Marichu Cortes. At MC Aesthetics, Marichu’s clients love her ability to bring their inner beauty to light for all to see. Delivering beautiful, natural-looking results using advanced skincare technology and procedures is an artform that Marichu takes pride in perfecting.
“When clients walk into my medical spa, I want them to be wowed from start to finish. It's not just injecting and poking somebody in the face. There's an art to it. The face is very vascular and there are many different capillaries, muscles and nerves,” says Marichu, whose extensive experience as a registered nurse provides a solid foundation for safely serving clients.
“I always wanted to go into the beauty industry, and I felt in order to be a great aesthetic nurse, you have to start from the beginning,” she says. “Being a floor nurse gave me a great foundation,” says Marichu, who worked at several prestigious hospitals, including Cedars Sinai, St. Luke's, Mercy and St. Mary's, and honed her aesthetician skills at plastic surgeons’ offices and private med spas before founding MC Aesthetics in 2021.
Ensuring the comfort and safety of patients starts with a thorough consultation to assess their goals and tailor a customized plan.
“It's important to really make sure that whatever I'm doing for my clients, that they're well informed and well educated,” notes Marichu. “I’m very thorough with my consultation. If somebody comes in for say, Botox®, I fully assess their entire face and let them know their options.”
Marichu’s services include Botox®, fillers and Sculptra®, a poly-L-lactic acid collagen stimulator which helps stimulate a person's own collagen. Lasting for many years, the procedure provides a full-face rejuvenation and adds volume, plumpness and tightness in the whole the face for a more natural look.
MC Aesthetics’ clients are also delighted with their results from Marichu’s new service, DiamondGlow®. The dermabrasion treatment exfoliates, extracts and infuses customized serums into the skin, leaving clients with an immediate glow and lasting results.
MC Aesthetics also offers their newest device called Venus Versa Pro, which includes radio frequency noninvasive skin tightening, body contouring, Intense Photo Light Therapy (IPL) and Radio Frequency Microneedling (skin resurfacing). Seeing her clients’ elation about their results post-service makes Marichu smile.
“I'm very blessed that I found my passion because I love what I do,” says Marichu. “I love waking up every morning and walking into my own practice. It’s pretty awesome! Of course, it's a lot of hard work too, but it's worth it.”
