OUR EXPERTS

DR. DAHIYA

Medical Director

MAGGIE

Owner | RN & Cosmetic Injector

+

I was born in Richmond, Va. and lived in Georgia and Hawaii before my family made its return to the Commonwealth.   I grew up in Alexandria, Va. and earned by undergraduate degree in English (I started out as a nursing major) from George Mason University in 2000. In 2006, I completed my M.Ed. at the University of Virginia a taught special education for 6 years before I took the leap into medical esthetics.

I opened Rejuvalase Medspa in 2007 shortly followed by our medical esthetics school, Nova Laser and Esthetics Training. While owning both businesses, I also worked them as a laser technician at the medspa and an IPL/Laser instructor at the school.

Though my businesses were running successfully and I now had 3 children, there was always this gnawing sense of unfinished business with nursing school. So, in 2020, I went back to school and earned my ADN and RN license.  

MIRANDA

Manager & CCMA

+

I was born and raised in a small town in Idaho. My journey has been a blend of beauty and healthcare. I grew up in the world of beauty, where I developed a keen appreciation for aesthetics and self-care, but also have hospital, clinical, and LTC (Long-term care) experience.

At the age of 18, I started my career in healthcare as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), a role that allowed me to make a meaningful impact in people's lives. Over the years, I've evolved professionally becoming a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA). My passion for healthcare continues to drive me as I pursue my dream of becoming a Registered Nurse (RN), expanding my capacity to care for others. During my educational career I have enrolled in three cadaver courses to expand my base knowledge on the human body inside and out.

For the past decade, I've specialized in cosmetic lasers, microneedling treatments, and tattoo removal. It's been an incredibly rewarding journey, as I've had the privilege of helping individuals feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin.

I'm excited about the future and the opportunity to offer even more transformative services in the field of healthcare and beauty. Helping others find their inner and outer beauty is my true calling.

Fun Fact: I detest the taste and smell of strawberries…including our best selling strawberry HA serums and scrubs.

 

ELIZABETH

Spa Coordinator

MIMI

Master Esthetician

+

I’ve worked in the esthetics industry for over 5 years and in the last 2 years, earned my masters from NVLET as well as my instructor’s license! I’ve always had a passion for skincare and all things beauty related.   My favorite things about this industry are educating others and seeing my client’s skin transform and achieve optimal health.  

Fun Fact: My legal name is Mryiam which is a misspelling because my sister chose my name and spelling when she was little.  

KAELIE

I am a Licensed Master Esthetician and received my education in both my fundamentals and advanced programs through Nova Laser and Esthetics Training.

In addition to those licenses, I'm also:

A licensed esthetics instructor

A certified laser technician through AML

A professional makeup artist.

My passion for skincare and science led me and continues to lead me, to seek more and more knowledge and credentials. There is something so deeply fulfilling about combining my love of science with the human connection part of my job. The opportunity to work one-on-one with clients creating a program that will improve the health of their skin while improving their confidence too is something I’m passionate about.

Fun fact: I enjoy swing dancing and spending time with my golden retriever, Aubree.

BEKAH

Assistant Manager & Cosmetic Injector

+

I’m a Virginia native and grew up in the Fredericksburg area where I married my highschool sweetheart. We lived overseas while he was in the Army and after returning home, I enrolled in EVCC’s ASN program. In 2021, I earned my ASN and my license as a Registered Nurse. Shortly thereafter, I began working in the Emergency Department before transferring a year later to the Pediatric ICU.  

While I loved so many things about both of these positions, I absolutely adore aesthetics! I have always wanted to make my way into this field of nursing/medicine. When the opportunity at Rejuvalase opened, I knew I needed to take it. It is truly such a beautiful opportunity to help people heal parts of themselves.

Fun fact:  I'm a triplet!

BETH

CNP & Cosmetic Injector

+

In 2009, I became a registered nurse; earning my BSN from VCU. I began working in the ICU at INOVA and in 2019, I went back to VCU, earning my NP-C degree and license.  

In 2024, I enrolled in ODU’s doctorate program which I’ll complete in 2 years.

I love being an ICU provider and stumbled across esthetics when a co-worker of mine told me about her work as an esthetics nurse. I’ve always loved esthetics for myself and until then, hadn’t considered being a provider. I attended the injection training at Nova Laser and Esthetics and began a part time injector position at Rejuvalase. Though the ICU is my home, I’m happy that my calling as a nurse has afforded me the opportunity to dip my toe into another field of nursing and to help clients reach their beauti-full potential.

Fun fact:  I was pulled over by cop while riding a motorcycle (twice..same cop) bc he said I was going too slow and told me I literally needed to spee

ASHLEY

RN & Cosmetic Injector

+

I’m a boy mom and outside of work, you can usually find me sitting courtside or sideline, watching my kids in their element. I became a registered nurse years ago after spending years in customer service and management. I’ve worked in the PACU and the Emergency Department in area hospitals since graduating. While I love what I do at the hospital, I truly have a passion for medical esthetics; there is something so fun and positive about being in this field.

Fun fact: I love country concerts

BECKY

Certified Massage Therapist

RURIKO

Certified Massage Therapist & Esthetician

+

I grew up in Japan where I had a career as a registered nurse for 14 years before marrying my husband and moving to the US.

After having our two sons, I returned to work but did so by completing my education and licensing as a massage therapist. Since first becoming licensed in Virginia in 2004, I’ve gone on to receive my certification nationally as well. In 2023, I completed my esthetics training and earned my license as an esthetician. I can now provide facials and massages for my clients in one appointment.

Fun fact: Im a clean eating enthusiast; my teammates are grossed out by a lot of the food I bring in.

TAIAH

Supervising SC & Esthetician

+

I'm a licensed esthetician and received my education through Nova Laser and Esthetics training in 2022. In 2023, I earned my certification as a laser technician through AML. In 2024, I plan to return to NVLET to earn my Master Esthetics education and licensure.

After completing my program at NVLET, I began working as a customer service advocate and spa coordinator at Rejuvalase.  

I got into this field because I struggled with acne through my teenage years and it made me want to help people who struggled with the same thing.

Fun fact: I like to game

MICHAELA

Spa Coordinator

+

I grew up on a farm in Spotsy but have always sought the pace and culture of city life. Growing up, I worked at Michael Kors and fell in love with the retail side of business as well as the esthetic.

After high school, I worked as a manager and service provider with home health and though I enjoyed it, I wanted to continue my education and become a dietician. I’d begun doing toxin and filler treatments with a local medical spa during this time and thought a position with one would be perfect while finishing my program. When the opportunity opened for a spa coordinator at Rejuvalase, I pursued it.

As a spa coordinator, I get to combine my love of people with my love of esthetics and have even had the opportunity to share my knowledge and diet tips with staff.

Fun fact: I used to be very overweight and with a healthy diet, changed my lifestyle and life, completely.

JULIE

RN

+

I'm a Tennessee native and moved to Virginia with my youngest son in 2023 to be closer to my brother. I come from the world of finance but after working with a friend of mine in her medical esthetics business years ago, I felt a calling as an RN.   I completed my RN in 2022 and after working as a behavioral health nurse (I have my BA in Psychology from Tulane University), I began pursuing a position as a medical esthetics RN at Rejuvalase. I absolutely love my team, the work I'm doing, and my clients. In 2023, I earned my certification as a laser technician through AML and completed a filler and toxin training course. I’ve learned so much since beginning my career in this field and look forward to all I’ll learn and master in 2024.  

Fun fact: I love thrifting
