Charleston Women Summer 2023

91 www.CharlestonWomenPodcast.com | www.ReadCW.com | www.Instagram.com/CharlestonWomen With medical spas growing in popularity, it can be difficult to pick the best fit. Kristen Drenga of TEAL Elite Med Spa worked as an intensive care nurse for 10 years before receiving her master’s degree in anesthesia. This mom of two has been working as a certified registered nurse anesthetist for seven years. She credits her success and business growth to the support of her husband and family. Drenga has a passion for expressing her creative side in beauty, fashion, music and wellness. Because of this, she has tailored her aesthetics practice to deliver safe, artistic and natural-looking results. Drenga feels that she “wants my clients to understand that beauty starts from within, and internal and external factors play a critical role in determining how we look and feel.” Using a neuromodulator like Botox can help to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles but it’s important that those lines and wrinkles are also treated. Having a healthy lifestyle and a good skin care regimen starts with the daily use of sunscreen. Spending money and time on medical grade products and treatments that repair damage, only to reintroduce harmful sun exposure and revert back to an unhealthy lifestyle, is a waste. Drenga hopes to help teach clients the importance of living a healthy lifestyle so that together they can maintain and improve the beauty they already have. This is what living the TEAL Elite Aesthetic Lifestyle is all about. Drenga has a background in anesthesia and intensive care that has taught her that understanding safety and facial anatomy is paramount in providing excellent patient care. She is continuously staying up to date on continuing education and the latest research in antiaging and wellness. TEAL Elite Med Spa is passionate about what they do, and their goal is to deliver exceptional, natural results that are truly unique to each client. “No two faces or personalities are the same; we are beautiful and unique, and that diversity should be maintained,” said Drenga. Stepping into the clinic means you are building a relationship on trust and an understanding that goals are achieved through a commitment from both parties. You aren’t alone in this journey. “I wish all clients knew that my philosophical foundation includes treating each and every client as if they were my own family or myself,” Drenga offered. TEAL Elite Med Spa is proud of the results they deliver, and they strive to ensure all clients feel seen and that the provider is giving 110% of themselves. Treatment plans are a collaborative process, and the range of services and medical grade skin care that can be provided is tailored to every budget. TEAL Elite Med Spa aims to offer a lifestyle approach to living your best life. Drenga remarked, “Just like it takes a village to raise a child, the same is true for living the best possible lifestyle we can.” For more information, please visit TEALEliteMedSpa.com, or call 843-972-3811.
