Our Team
WHO WE ARE
Rytualist started with a passion for skincare. We strongly believe anti-aging skincare treatments can and should look natural! Our mission is to bring greater accessibility to these treatments that truly prevent key contributors of aging AND supporting our local community in the meantime. We recognize prevention and personalization as essential aspects of effective skincare, and embrace the “less-is-more” philosophy with our innovative micro treatment services. Through community, convenience and comfortability, our team at Rytualist are reinventing the idea of cosmetic injectables by taking them out of the traditional medical environment and making it easier than ever to seamlessly integrate into your self-care rytual.
OUR VALUES
Confidence
Any beauty treatment can make us confident about the way we look and in how we feel about ourselves. Add neurotoxins to the list - practice self-love, don't be ashamed, and feel empowered.
Accessibility
Neurotox treatments are becoming as essential to our beauty rytuals as a good hair color. Our team believes every person should be knowledgeable about the benefits of micro xeomin and can easily access the opportunity to prevent future signs of aging.
Freedom
It's your foray into injectables (or any type of skincare beyond creams), and trust us, we know that first step is intimidating. We're revolutionizing the meaning preventative skincare, and want you to be part of our community!
