Short Company Description: Kalvera is a brother-sister founded company dedicated to helping women build confidence through healthy skin, community, and education. At Kalvera Skin Therapy, our recently opened 2,400 square foot skin spa in Jax Beach, our team of physician-led team of Skin Therapists uses advanced skin scan technology to analyze your skin and craft customized treatment plans to nourish, restore, and digitally track your skin health progress over time. We take a data-driven, tech-infused approach to skincare, using data to assess the skin, providing personalized recommendations, med-tech procedures (including medical-grade facials and laser facials), and physician-formulated products to create a comprehensive skin health gameplan with trackable progress and results. Our founders built Kalvera with the idea that beauty should be unbound from the expectations and insecurities the beauty industry has put upon people. Everyone is beautiful when they have healthy skin and a healthy attitude towards themselves.

Give a brief description on what you would like to discuss on the show.: I’d love to discuss one of the best-kept secrets to long-term skin health that many people have never heard of: med-tech facials! At Kalvera Skin Therapy, my recently opened (as of Dec 2020) skin spa in Jax Beach, we offer med-tech facials that leave traditional facials (I like to call those “fluff and buff”) in the dust. I’ll break down the traditional vs. med-tech difference in a fun, clear way, giving your viewers solid information they can use when deciding how to best care for their skin.

What makes your company unique?: We are skincare for the authentic you! We focus on sustainable skin health over immediate results, listening over judgment, and restoring beauty over changing beauty. Our approach to skincare is focused on data-driven skin assessments, fast, tech-infused treatments, and practical skincare products.

How do you define success?: Success is living a life that is true to yourself and free from others’ expectations. It is not measured by money, possessions, or status but instead by internal happiness from personal development, meaningful connections, and leaving the world better than you found it.

What’s your favorite way to get involved in the community?: Supporting and highlighting local entrepreneurs and artists and sharing our passion for skincare!
