About Rise

CONFIDENCE THROUGH CARE
At Rise Medical Aesthetics, we believe aesthetic medicine should feel approachable, empowering, and grounded in trust.
​
Founded in Nanaimo by Nurse Practitioner Laura McIntyre, Rise was created to be more than a medical aesthetics clinic. It was designed as a welcoming space where clients could explore treatments, improve skin health, and invest in themselves without pressure, judgment, or unrealistic beauty standards.

Our Story
WHERE MEDICAL EXPERTISE MEETS PERSONALIZED CARE
Rise Medical Aesthetics was founded in 2021 with a vision of bringing advanced medical aesthetics to Vancouver Island in a setting that feels both elevated and comfortable.
​
As a Nurse Practitioner and aesthetic injector, Laura recognized the need for a clinic that combined evidence-based medicine, ongoing education, and exceptional patient care with a warm, personalized experience.
​
What began as a small vision has grown into a team of highly trained Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, and skin health professionals who share the same commitment to safety, integrity, and natural-looking results.
​
Today, Rise proudly serves clients from Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Courtenay, Comox, Duncan, Ladysmith, Port Alberni, and communities throughout Vancouver Island.
Our Approach
NO TWO FACES ARE THE SAME, AND NO TWO TREATMENT PLANS SHOULD BE EITHER
Every consultation begins with a conversation. We want to understand what you're noticing, what you'd like to improve, and how you want your results to look and feel.
​
Our team takes a comprehensive approach to facial assessment and treatment planning, considering facial anatomy, skin health, aging patterns, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
​
Whether you're exploring cosmetic injectables, laser treatments, medical-grade skin care, IV therapy, or collagen-stimulating treatments, our focus remains the same: natural-looking results that support your confidence without changing who you are.
More Than Aesthetic Treatments
We believe confidence isn't about looking different.
​
It's about feeling comfortable in your own skin.
​
For some clients, that means softening lines and wrinkles. For others, it means improving skin health, restoring facial balance, treating acne scarring, addressing hair loss, or simply taking time for self-care.
​
Our role is to listen, educate, and guide you toward the treatment options that best align with your goals.
