Esther Morin

Take me back to how you made the decision to create the Esther Morin Medispa?

I love aesthetics… as beauty both in females and males have always interested me ever since I was young. I do have an artistic side, so I am fascinated by the challenge of transformation. One day, I was offered the opportunity to follow a training program for a laser technology company. After many conferences, I said to myself “Why not start my own clinic?”

You started with an idea, and built your Medispa from the ground up, what kept you going?

I wanted to offer a full service that reflected the financial means of my clients. I am sort of like a one stop shop, as at the Medispa, I try to fulfill all the needs of my clients, in an enlightened way as I give information without any pressure whatsoever. I offer many different treatments, be it for the face, the body, or even physiological with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy with Dr. Tinh Van Duong. There are no taboos for me, I do my research and I am always up to date with the newest technology in order to give the best results possible. I am also very open to refer my clients to external resources if needed, such as my very strong collaboration with the plastic surgeon Dr. Ezat Hashim.

When we meet you for the first time, we feel such lightness, do you think this is a quality that creates a trust and loyalty in your clients?

In effect, the Medispa was created in my image… when we enter, all is calm, light and comfortable. My transparency, experience and my will to give detailed information creates a relaxed atmosphere. The clients feel this, they leave knowing that they are heard and that they can trust me.

What is your mission?

Helping people, this comes from my nursing background, as I worked many years in Nunavik with the natives. Becoming more beautiful, this is what a lot of my clients want, and there is a true joy when a client reaches that point when they feel beautiful – this is my motivation.

When you meet a client for the first time, where do you start?

My first question is “What can I do for you?” I make the person talk about their needs. Sometimes people want a lot of things, so I tend to have them start by what is priority. And some clients know very little about the treatments that exist these days, they can be insecure so I try to give as much information as possible as well as time to reflect on what it is they would like to do. Sometimes clients can have had a bad experience, so I listen and propose treatments to meet their expectations, I must adjust myself in some cases and this is a process that is done gradually in a way that is best for the client.

Do you find that men are beginning to take better care of their skin and looks or are they uninterested in this part of their lives?

Absolutely, men are very interested. My male clients are just like women, in the sense that they are also looking to meet the “beauty standards” of today. Some don’t really know where to start, and I feel that with me, they are reassured and comfortable. Maybe it is my medical background and the atmosphere of the Medispa which is located on the 3rd floor, a destination that is very discreet, where no client ever waits and that is very private. I find that more and more men are looking to take care of their skin, some of my clients tell me how they feel privileged after a treatment.

We tend to think of Medispas as the oasis of the more mature, but would you suggest that the younger women also come see you and how would you treat them?

The Medispa is for everyone, as I also do believe in prevention and I do encourage it. In Europe, young women resort to treatments in order to preserve their youth, the methods to this effect are very advanced. I find that when we start young, we tend to keep our youth longer. Also, young women do have other needs that I am able to help with; such as scars, cellulite, acne and hair removal.

If I would love to have your services but at present I am not able to, what would be the simplest thing for me to do at home and on my own?

The basics; which is to use good sunscreen (as the sun is the number one cause of wrinkles), exfoliating your skin often and also giving a sort of comfort to the skin using hydrating creams.

What is next for you?

Soon I will be offering to my clients the possibility of seeing a life coach, Marie France Lalonde, directly in the comfort of the Medispa. Any clients who wish to have a change in their lives will be able to speak with someone with whom can guide them to find results quicker and more effectively.
