The most rewarding moments in Alexa Medlock’s job are when her patients look in the mirror and see their results. Medlock, owner of Medlock Aesthetics in Conway, holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, is an RN and an Aesthetic Nurse Injector.
Medlock finds fulfillment in having a positive impact on her patients’ self-esteem and confidence. She focuses on their well-being and empowers and educates them using a holistic approach. She hopes to help destigmatize the industry by providing subtle enhancements without compromising natural beauty.
With the business growing, the future is “glowing” for Medlock Aesthetics. More treatment options and new services are on the horizon. “I love continuing education and this ever-evolving industry constantly delivers opportunities to keep learning,” Medlock said.
Medlock finds joy in a good conversation, laughter, genuine people and putting a smile on someone’s face. “It brings me joy to get to know my patients and for them to know that my chair is a safe and welcoming place to have a little time for themselves. As a mom, wife, business owner and student, I know how hard it is to make time for myself, so I want everyone who comes through my door to feel it is worth their time,” she said.
Various publications have recognized Medlock in the last few years, as she has been listed among Women in Power, voted among the Best Healthcare Professionals, the Best Cosmetic Injectables Top 3 and was chosen as a Reader’s Favorite Top 3.
She and her husband, Dwayne, have two children. “Knox and Poppy are the funniest and brightest little humans, and I thank God they are mine,” she said. Medlock loves the life they have and is proud of the opportunity to build on her dream so she can spend more quality time with her family.
What advice does she offer other young women? “You will not be everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s OK. We are all so different, and that is beautiful. We cannot please everyone without compromising ourselves in some way. Stay true to yourself and honest in all you do, and you will attract like-minded people who appreciate it.
“I wish I had learned much sooner that happiness and peace come from what you create for yourself, not from the approval of others.”
