Ever look down at your hands and think, “Where did those brown spots come from?” Then you meet your friend for lunch, and she looks the same, but also seems to have healthy, glowing skin that you had never noticed before? Some people prefer to tackle signs of aging in a more natural way than going under the knife. Enter Crissy Wiseman and her team at Wise Aesthetics.
When Crissy, 45, was looking for business space close to her Zionsville home to open her medical spa, she found the perfect location in Carmel to create an inviting environment to welcome her clients. The result, her full-service medical spa, Wise Aesthetics. Wise Aesthetics treats its clients in an upscale and relaxing, rejuvenating environment, just as Crissy and her team hoped to create. According to Google reviews, they are providing the 5-star services for which they strived.
Crissy also says it is important for clients that are looking to build their personal pride in their appearance from someone experienced and trusted. While some know what treatments they want, others might be intimidated in the process and know little about the procedure possibilities. Crissy is committed to open communication in a warm environment and posts many answers to the many questions she gets asked on her website, along with providing a sign-up option for people wishing to receive the Wise Aesthetics’ newsletter.
“I opened Wise Aesthetics because I like to make people feel better about themselves,” Crissy says. “We can use tools, new technology and injectable products to help someone’s self-esteem or just slow down the aging process. By doing this, both our staff and, more importantly, our patients achieve their aesthetic goals, like maybe turning back the clock.
“I live in Zionsville and had been commuting to Greenwood for several years,” she adds. “My husband Justin, of 21 years, and three children inspired my desire to bring Wise Aesthetics closer to home and I felt Carmel was a great place to start.”
While the name branded may be Crissy’s, she often refers to “we” when talking about the business because she naturally feels the staff is as full-time focused on the same goals.
“I love our staff — I can’t say it’s just me. I can’t do all of this without them,” she says. “They are all knowledgeable and experts in their approach, as well as their application.”
Wise Aesthetics offers the following treatments for men and women: injectables, laser treatments, hair reduction, skin tightening, medical grade facials, cellulite treatment, makeup/lashes, and all-around good skin care techniques.
“My goal is to have every procedure provide positive results,” Crissy says. “Our work speaks for itself. We create a plan for each patient and then bring that plan to life.”
Crissy’s impressive service offerings come with an all-embracing training experience as she has two Master’s degrees and has worked as a Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner for more than 24 years. In addition, she has extensive training as an Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner, focused on plastic and reconstructive surgery where, prior to going on her own with Wise Aesthetics, she worked as an Advanced Injector. Most recently she had the honor of working for a prominent Facial Plastic Surgeon in the Indianapolis area. Notably too, her experience includes working alongside the Chief of Plastic Surgery at Indiana University School of Medicine.
Wise Aesthetics’ strengths lie in having trained eyes for symmetry, beauty, and attention to detail, which is why Crissy reports clients are pleased with the approach that offers natural and incredible results. A major part of the client experience is receiving a comprehensive and collaborative approach to beautiful, natural-looking skin with gentle and effective treatments that enhance their natural beauty. She is eager to build relationships to understand how to help clients look their “best.”
Products used are medical-grade skincare, both pharmaceutical and prescription, and clients should also continue their treatment with products provided through a Dermatologist or a Plastic Surgeon.
Common services include treating wrinkles, most commonly near the mouth. Injectables don’t last forever, with Botox or other neurotoxins lasting about three to four months and injectables up to two years. Services can be combined, for example if a client would like a medical facial, they can add on a laser treatment. Wise Aesthetics offers a Journey Membership for clients wanting regular treatments at a discounted rate.
Knowledge and education are important for those interested in any procedure. The Wise Aesthetics website has a frequently-asked-questions section so people can read more about services and be aware of the full list of services and products available. The Wise Aesthetics staff is also fully trained and expected to keep up with continued education sessions to maintain the exceptional standard of care expected.
Wise Aesthetics is located at 2325 Pointe Parkway, Suite 110, near N. Keystone Avenue and 116th Street in Carmel. You can follow them on Instagram, call 317-569-6448, or learn more and schedule online at wise-aesthetics.com.
