From Corporate Beauty to Laser Tech: How Michelle Reinvented Her Career in Medical Aesthetics
In this episode of the Pursue Your Passion podcast, Louis “The Laser Guy” Silberman interviews Michelle, a former beauty industry executive who walked away from a high-travel corporate career to pursue a more meaningful, family-focused life in medical aesthetics. After two decades in the professional beauty business, Michelle found herself burned out, away from home over 180 days a year, and craving something more personal and fulfilling.
A chance encounter with laser hair removal as a client sparked her curiosity and led her to train at National Laser Institute in 2009. Since then, Michelle has found her passion as a cosmetic laser technician, helping clients improve their self-esteem through treatments that target acne scars, sun damage, skin tightening, and more.
Michelle shares how her leap of faith into the med spa world gave her not only a new career, but also a chance to help people feel more confident every day—proving it’s never too late to pivot and do what you love.
