Our Philosophy

Solavei Aesthetics encourages the practice ofobserving our inner beauty. We use the word “Solavei” (SOLE-uh-vay) to reflect ‘sun in the veins’ or ‘light in the body’ … energy, life, health, and beauty. The word “aesthetics” is derived from Ancient Greek aisthētikós, meaning "perceptive, sensitive,”which traces back to a sensory practice focused on the nature and appreciation of beauty.

While there are as many subjective opinions and preferences about beauty as there are persons, there are also undeniable, well-acknowledged objective patterns of ‘beauty’ encountered throughout the universe. Amazingly intricate designs or ‘codes’ such as the mathematical formula known as the Golden Ratio, are found repeatedly in nature, as well as in treasured human art such as paintings and architecture. It’s commonly accepted that beauty is intrinsic to those patterns. As Leonardo DaVinci famously illustrated in his “Vitruvian Man,” even the proportions and geometry of the human body – and face– correspond to those same universal patterns or formulae. That is just one aspect or measurement of beauty. The study of aesthetics is profound. When we seek to recognize ‘the nature and appreciation of beauty’, we find it all around us, inherent in all aspects of life. Thus, while our focus is on medical aesthetics for the skin, we at Solavei uphold ‘aesthetics’ as a discipline encompassing the appreciation and embodiment of beauty in its entirety.

Three Pillars of Practice

The following three pillars encapsulate how we at Solavei Aesthetics perceive beauty as an inherent, practical need in society, rather than a mere societal construct. The pillars also underscore our commitment to extending the availability of advanced aesthetics beyond the financially privileged and fair-skinned. Lastly, they exemplify our dedication to achieving definitive, enduring results that epitomize natural beauty, eschewing superficial glamour.

I. Serving the Need for Beauty … Not Just the Want

We all harbor the desire to look and feel our best. It’s a universal sentiment, not limited to a select few. While the degree of that priority may vary, the inclination is normal and global. Feeling good about our appearance bolsters confidence, performance, and interpersonal interactions. It’s a wholesome, normal impulse, far from frivolous, that usually drives us to present ourselves at our best.

The appearance of both our immediate surroundings and our personal physical presentation serve a pivotal role in leading organized, coherent lives. Tending to our hair and attire before heading to work sharpens our mental faculties. This extends beyond societal norms or cultural influences. Our physiology is wired to acknowledge and respond to the inherent aesthetics and beauty in people and environments.

Beyond conforming to societal standards of beauty and self-care, the recognition of the evolutionary function of aesthetics acknowledges a fundamental human need for attractive physical appearance. It’s more than a societal expectation or personal desire; our aesthetics is a basic human requirement, a need.

Our physical appearance is a veil thatrepresents us but doesn’t define us. Sol-a-vei, translated by us as “light inthe veins”, refers to the beauty that shines through us but can’t be physicallycaptured, only experienced.

Because Solavei Aesthetics aspires to help usradiate genuine beauty and inspire others to do the same, we donate 5% of ourprofit to Charity Aesthetics (described below).

Charity Aesthetics

5% of profits given to Charity Aesthetics to serve the need for beauty, not just the want.

See www.charityaesthetics.com for details.

Charity Aesthetics is a non-profit established in tandem with Solavei Aesthetics. This organization offers advanced aesthetic services exclusively to those who direly need them because of accidents, surgeries, or various life misfortunes. Untreated aesthetic concerns can plague a person’s day-to-day sense of wellbeing. Examples include scars from surgery, burns or severe acne; spider veins and other vascular lesions, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and even the regret of tattoos.

Addressing these concerns with medical aesthetic procedures can alleviate significant burdens and genuinely transform lives. Frequently, however, people in need of such services are financially or logistically unable to obtain them. That’s why Charity Aesthetics is dedicated to reaching out to these individuals, offering them renewed hope for a brighter future. And because Solavei Aesthetics is committed to helping meet the need for beauty, allocating 5% of our profits to Charity Aesthetics helps to bring about those brighter horizons.

II. Reaching the Many, Not Just the Few

If you’re reading this, then by now you know that Solavei Aesthetics fosters greater social inclusivity and diversity by providing advanced aesthetic services to a broad audience. While this sentiment may sound commonplace, it's a truth that advanced aesthetic treatments, e.g.laser therapies, have historically been accessible mainly to fair-skinned, higher-income individuals, predominantly women. Up until now, laser technology has primarily catered to the lightest Types I and II skin tones on the“Fitzpatrick” dermatology scale. Additionally, the expense of such sophisticated medical aesthetic technology means limited access for many aestheticians and aesthetic businesses.

Thankfully, this scenario is evolving, and Solavei Aesthetics is proud to be at the forefront. We enable a wider range of businesses to access both advanced skincare equipment and qualified aestheticians, in order to provide advanced services to their clientele at reasonable costs. This democratization of access expands the availability of aesthetic services to a broader demographic, encompassing businesses of various sizes and specialties.

Solavei Aesthetics meticulously selects cutting-edge skincare technology and products designed for all skin types. Alma is our primary source for skincare technology, globally renowned for manufacturing top-tier equipment with unparalleled capabilities. This includes treatment for a wide spectrum of pigment types, spanning from the lightest complexions to olive and tan tones, and even very dark brown tones. Similarly, the cosmetic products recommended and offered by Solavei cater to diverse skin types.

By bringing state-of-the-art equipment to a more diverse audience through partnerships with a wide array of health and wellness businesses, Solavei Aesthetics ensures that technology, such as the fractional plasma OPUS, is accessible to a broader demographic. This facilitates less complex and safer treatment options for various skin conditions and pigment types, with reduced recovery times.

These technological advancements, exemplified by the OPUS, combined with our ability to engage with a diverse range of health and wellness businesses, enable us at Solavei to extend services to a more socioeconomically varied population. In essence, Solavei Aesthetics reaches the many, not just the few.
