Provider Spotlight: Local Skin Bar Brings Empathy to Esthetics

Industry pros understand that skincare isn’t just about an outward appearance: It deeply impacts self-confidence and how we feel. This sentiment is at the core of Local Skin Bar, a boutique esthetic center in Toronto and one of our valued provider partners. With a highly personalizable service menu and community-forward mindset, Local is already making waves after launching early this year. 

We couldn’t wait to sit down with Georgia, Local Skin Bar’s founder, to talk about their empathetic approach to skincare and growth trajectory (with a little help from Omnliux). Read on for the full story!

Our Chat with Local Skin Bar

Cute, cozy, homey…These are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind when you peek into Local Skin Bar’s Toronto storefront, nestled near the breezy shores of Kew-Balmy Beach. And that’s by design: Local’s ethos centers around the joys of real-life interactions and the feeling of coming home. It’s reflected in every detail, striking a balance between charming, refined, and familiar.

At Local Skin Bar, community members find a comfortable neighborhood stop for soothing facials, heart-to-hearts, and the little pick-me-up we all deserve. We asked owner Georgia about Local’s founding and how Omnilux served as a stepping stone to ongoing growth. 

Q: What was the inspiration behind Local Skin Bar? 

A: I’ve been working in aesthetics for years now and have always envisioned opening my own place. I've seen many ways of operating a clinic, but I wanted to try an approach that I hadn’t seen before. I wanted the emphasis to be on the feeling people get when they come in, a place that feels like coming home.

Skin can be a vulnerable topic for lots of people, so creating an environment where our clients feel like they can drop by for a chat without any pressure or specific outcome allows our clients to relax. Since I was young, I’ve found so much gratification in helping people see their own potential and I’ve found that gratification through my passion for helping others look and feel their best.

It feels incredible to create a business that aligns so closely with my passions and we’re so excited to see what the rest of our first year will bring! 

Q: Why did you choose Omnilux for your treatments?  

A: Red light therapy is such an incredible catch-all for so many skin concerns.  We love that with consistent use, our clients can resolve multiple issues all at the same time!  

Q: How has Omnilux helped you grow your business?  

A: We find that clients hope for instant results - don’t we all. We often remind our clients that patience is absolutely key. Ten minutes a day with the Omnilux Contour mask sounds easy peasy, and it really is. But you do need to be consistent to get the incredible benefits. Consistency is a must!  

Q: What are some exciting beauty trends you’re keeping an eye on? 

A: We’re all interested in hair growth treatments around here. Whether it’s a rosemary shampoo or a leave-in oil treatment, we’re trying to grow out our locks for the summer. We’ve read lots about red light therapy for hair growth, and would love to try a scalp red light mask… Omnilux, the ball is in your court!  

Growing Together: Omnilux Provider Partnerships

As one of our valued provider partners, Local Skin Bar is a glowing example of how meaningful partnerships can uplift your business and set the stage for sustainable growth. 

Our Omnilux provider partners secure exclusive wholesale pricing, a new revenue stream, and greater client satisfaction by helping them retain glowing results from home. Alongside these valuable benefits, our partners are equipped to stay at the forefront of constantly evolving beauty trends and innovation with FDA-cleared, science-backed LED devices. Particularly for small-scale esthetic and skincare centers, Omnilux partnerships provide a shortcut to bolster existing treatment options, making it possible to address a broader range of skin concerns. 

Staying Ahead of the Beauty Trend Curve

As the esthetics industry continues to expand, providers face more competition than ever before. By aligning with today’s beauty trends, Omnilux partnerships are a leg up in the race to secure loyal clients and cement a reputation for excellence. 

Beauty trends tend to follow the science. LED therapy is backed by promising clinical results for cosmetic concerns including acne, sun damage, signs of aging, and, as Local Skin Bar’s Georgia noted, hair loss. These benefits even transcend the beauty world, with notable results for joint pain and inflammation. This makes it a versatile choice for providers looking to cater to all types of esthetic goals.

Additionally, in 2025, natural, non-invasive skin treatments continue to prevail. While this trend has been several years in the making, clients continue to cast aside cosmetic surgery in favor of gentler treatments with more subtle results. Omnilux is a perfect match for this ongoing trend, helping enhance the benefits of various non-and minimally-invasive treatments (like facials, dermaplaning, microneedling, and chemical peels) by:

• Calming inflammation to shorten downtime

• Supporting the skin’s natural healing process 

• Stimulating collagen production for even plumper, smoother, and more radiant skin

Clients who take home an Omnilux device can prolong the results of their favorite in-office treatments, helping them make the most of a non-surgical esthetics approach. It also gives providers a simple way to hyper-personalize their clients’ skincare routines by pairing LED therapy with complementary skincare products.
