Vanity Skin Bar was established in 2021 with the intent of bringing together talented and experienced medical professionals that have a passion for medical aesthetics, cosmetic treatments, and continuing education. Cara’s goal was to create a new type of wellness and medical spa focused on providing cutting edge treatments that deliver stunning results to clients by providing a multimodality, individualized client treatment plans. Providing services specifically designed to stimulate the body to produce its own collagen is a unique specialty that Vanity Skin Bar is focused on.
Aside from making clients look and feel amazing, the team at Vanity strives to customize each treatment while keeping quality and safety at the heart of all they do.
Cara started her career in medical aesthetics 11 years ago working for a dermatological surgical center. In this position, she developed a passion for aesthetics and fell in love with the art of what she likes to call “preventative maintenance” treatments like chemical peels and non-surgical solutions like cosmetic injections. With her medical background and love of aesthetics, she decided to create her dream job and open her own Medical Spa.
To do this, she went back to school and completed her B.S.N at University of Maryland University College. She is currently working on finishing her MSN-AGCNP at Walden University College. While in school, Cara held a 4.0 GPA, was inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success, and became a proud Sigma Theta Tau and Golden Key National Honor Society member!
Cara Heym of Vanity Skin Bar Since 2019, she’s been training with The American Academy of Facial Aesthetics, taking master level courses on everything from neurotoxins, dermal fillers, to PDO threads and more, while also maintaining an associate membership. She also maintains professional memberships to keep up with the most up to date procedures and is continuously learning and training to feed her thirst for knowledge and deliver the most cutting-edge treatments. In 2021, she officially launched Vanity Skin Bar with plans to grow the company in the near future.
Recently, Cara was asked to become a founding member of the The Cannabis Spa Association when Renee introduced her to the importance of the endocannabinoid system, and the benefits of medical CBD,CBG, and Hemp. With this knowledge of how this regulatory system promotes overall wellness and cannot only treat conditions of the body but be used to enhance and heal the skin as well. Working with The Cannabis Spa Association gave Cara the opportunity to provide her clients with a one of kind skin care line that has CBD, CBG, and starfish extract that not only produces 2.5 times the amount of collagen but has multiple other never before seen results! When she’s not seeing clients, you can find her hanging out with her best friend and husband!
