The future of advanced beauty is now
Interview with Emily Dillon
We sit down with Emily Dillon, Director of The Venue Beauty Salon and Clinic, to talk about what’s making waves in the world of advanced beauty. With her 3 locations offering industry-leading treatments and award-winning machines, Emily and her team are setting the standard in skin and laser care.
Emily, what do you see as the “next big thing” in the beauty industry right now?
Honestly, the “next big thing” is already here—it’s advanced, intelligent technology that delivers results with minimal downtime. At The Venue, we’re proud to house machines like the Cynosure Laser Hair Removal System, which has won multiple awards for a reason. It’s efficient, virtually pain-free, and the results are outstanding. I mean, let’s be honest—why live with hair these days? It’s 2025!
In addition, at our Westbourne location, we have the Harmony XL Pro, which is an absolute game changer when it comes to treating pigmentation, rosacea, scarring, acne, open pores, and uneven skin tone. The machine uses cutting-edge laser and light-based technology to treat various skin concerns with pinpoint precision and minimal recovery time.
What treatments do you typically recommend for clients starting out?
We always start with a thorough consultation. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach in advanced skincare. Everyone’s skin is unique, and so should their treatment plan be. That said, some of the foundational treatments we recommend include a mix of chemical peels, microneedling, and laser rejuvenation. These work beautifully in combination to tackle different layers and concerns within the skin.
What are the most popular treatments at your clinic right now?
Without a doubt, laser hair removal with both the Cynosure and Alma Titanium is hugely popular. The precision and effectiveness have made it a go-to for clients looking for long-term solutions. But we’re also seeing a big increase in clients seeking skin rejuvenation. Treatments targeting fine lines, wrinkles, plumping, and skin tone correction are in high demand.
You mentioned combination treatments. Can you explain why they’re so effective?
Absolutely. When we combine treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, and laser therapy, we’re targeting the skin on multiple levels. The peel exfoliates and clears the surface, microneedling stimulates collagen production deeper within the skin, and lasers can resurface and treat pigmentation or vascular issues. This multi-layered approach gets incredible results because we’re not just fixing one issue—we’re transforming the overall health and appearance of the skin. And again, it’s all tailored to the individual. A consultation helps us decide what combination is right for you.
Can people with sensitive skin have these advanced treatments too?
100%, yes. Sensitivity doesn’t exclude you from results-driven treatments. We adapt everything to suit your skin’s tolerance and current condition. Often, sensitive skin benefits even more from professional treatment because we’re using medical-grade technology and products designed to strengthen and repair the skin barrier over time.
Book your consultation today. Your skin will thank you.
Stay tuned for the next issue, where our conversation with Emily Dillon continues—diving deeper into cutting-edge treatments and what’s really worth the investment.
