More Than Skin Deep

How New Medspa Beautiful You Is Changing Patients’ Lives In More Than Just Their Looks

Many misconceptions come up when thinking about medical aesthetic treatments. For most, the first thing that comes to mind may be laser treatments and Botox injections for those wishing to fight Father Time. However, there is more beneath the surface of the treatments offered at Beautiful You.

Hidden in the Keauhou Shopping Center, Beautiful You is a full-service medspa owned and operated by Dr. Ileana Sanchez-Anderson and her husband Jerry. They offer a variety of aesthetic options such as microneedling, laser hair removal, and other commonly known procedures. However, what makes Beautiful You unique is its holistic approach to its patients.

“Helping people by improving their self-esteem has always been something I enjoyed,” Dr. Sanchez-Anderson says in an interview. As a family practitioner working in urgent care centers for the past twenty years in Kona, Dr. Sanchez-Anderson always had a passion for helping her patients beyond standard care. Being an aesthetic fellow allowed her the opportunity to pursue helping others by providing care to improve their bodies and their minds.

Since opening in June 2023, Beautiful You has helped and consulted with many patients to improve their self-esteem and quality of life through their litany of services and state-of-the-art machines. Acne treatments for mild to severe acne, heat wave treatments to remove fat cells and sculpt muscles, and other quick and effective technologies are available. With their hyperbaric oxygen treatment, patients with arthritis, inflammation, brain injuries, joint pain, migraines, and even Parkinson’s disease have reported less pain, easing of symptoms, and can even help enhance rehabilitation with repeated treatment.

To see true change for their patients in all areas of those who come through their doors, Beautiful You and Dr. Sanchez-Anderson do not want to be another surface-level health spa. Dr. Sanchez asserts, “I’m trying to improve my patients’ quality of life and be more productive to help them age gracefully.” Whether it is a simple laser removal or a consultation for treatments, the services offered at Beautiful You can provide a lasting transformation that isn’t just skin deep.
