Irish Enterprise Awards 2020

EU BUSINESS NEWS / 2020 Irish Enterprise Awards 7 Skin Smart Clinic When treatments are designed, the heart of every process is the effect on the client. This aspect is brought to the fore through the implementation of constant training and retraining, as well as members of the team regularly undergoing treatments themselves. It gives them a way into the mindset of a client, what is satisfying and what could be improved. It almost means that the company is one that can proudly boast that it does not recommend any treatment that the practitioner has not undergone themselves. Just some of the options available include laser hair removal, pigmented lesions - sun damage, thread veins, redness, acne, skin tightening, verrucae and warts, anti-ageing facials, IPL rejuvenation, a range of skin peels, microdermabrasion, micro needling, microblading and for other cases, there is an injectable clinic. With incredible technology behind them and talent pushing them forward, the team currently serve clients of any gender from the ages of 16 all the way through to 70. Some want to ensure their own health generally, others come with specific concerns like acne or the desire to try anti-aging procedures. All are treated with the same kind heart and general attention to detail that has made the firm so successful. What sets Skin Smart Clinic apart is this committed focus on the clients, building on the experience of its lead Aesthetician, Lisa Moroney. She has spent over twenty years perfecting the art of providing the right treatments in both Australia and Ireland. This gives her a unique perspective on the industry, able to handle all sorts of work in a variety of different ways. As Ireland is a multicultural country, the challenge of treating different skin types is one that is faced regularly. It is also one that the team at Skin Smart Clinic relish, as they see all skin types as different from each other already. A challenge faced in Australia is that of sun damage, with the effects being much more apparent much more swiftly. Skin generally seems older compared to Ireland’s naturally cooler climate. While less sun making it easier and safer to treat the skin with lasers, this very much depends on the individual as there are still many who spend a dangerous amount of time out trying to get the perfect bronze, with the cost being their skin. People have become more aware of the dangers of sun exposure, however, and the importance of sun protection all year round, whether it’s winter or summer. In many ways, now seems to be the perfect time in which to be in the beauty industry, with the importance of aesthetics exploding recently. More and more people have begun to understand and take an interest in skin care, with a greater degree of importance placed on looking after one’s self regardless of if they are young or old. Certainly, this change has generated a great deal of interest in the work of Skin Smart Clinic. Looking ahead, it’s clear that the future is bright indeed for this talented team and their impressive results. Currently there is no online booking system for the company, and this is the next big step in order to make matters easier for clients. Currently they are encouraged to text, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram or telephone, but in an ever-busy world more and more people would prefer to sit down at night and make a booking at a time that suits them. Facilitating "When treatments are designed, the heart of every process is the effect on the client. This aspect is brought to the fore through the implementation of constant training and retraining, as well as members of the team regularly undergoing treatments themselves." this sort of request is exactly what Skin Smart Clinic has become known for, and what has brought them such success so far. It goes without saying that the team at Skin Smart Clinic place customers first, but few teams are as committed to treating their clients as they would like to be treated. It is this careful and kind approach that ensures the results clients receive go above and beyond their expectations. It’s what has made Skin Smart Clinic such an amazing success.
