Rejuvalase Medspa: 20 Years of Transformation and Community Impact

For nearly two decades, Rejuvalase Medspa has been a cornerstone of the Stafford aesthetic community, and owner Maggie McIntyre shows no signs of slowing down. What started as one woman's leap from teaching to medical aesthetics has blossomed into three thriving businesses: Rejuvalase Medspa, Nova Laser and Esthetics Training, and The Tox Drop podcast.

"Rejuvalase is one of the area's first medical spas and the most established," Maggie explains. "The same fearless determination and innovation that built us continues to fortify the core of who we are while we continually adapt to an ever-changing industry."

Maggie's journey into aesthetics wasn't exactly planned. After switching from nursing to special education at George Mason University and earning her master's degree, she found herself financially stuck. "Even after earning my M.Ed., my income increased by only $40 per month!" That frustration, combined with her medical background and entrepreneurial family roots, led her to explore the booming aesthetics industry. Coming from "a family of doctors, nurses, educators, and business owners," she jokes she got "caught in the cross hairs of everyone!"

What makes Rejuvalase special is its holistic philosophy: "We believe we are better together. Not only is it our slogan, but it truly captures who we are and how we operate." This extends beyond their corrective medical spa treatments and day spa services to their training school—the only esthetic injector training facility in the area. "We are literally training our competition," Maggie laughs. Their podcast, The Tox Drop, launched in October 2025 and has already cracked the top 10% on Spotify and Apple.

For Maggie, the work is deeply personal. Having experienced her own struggles with weight, melasma, and stress-related skin issues, she understands what her clients are going through. "I've experienced that reawakening for myself and providing it for others is magic," she says. "Out of 10's of thousands of clients over these last 20 years, not a single one has regretted choosing themselves."

The business has also been Maggie's lifeline through challenging times, including divorce, helping her provide for her three children while maintaining her sense of identity. Today, she balances running her businesses with community involvement, including sponsoring the Fairy Godmother Project's Stardust Ball. In 2025 alone, Rejuvalase donated over $30,000 to charitable causes, most of it locally.

Her message to the community? "Do not feel materialistic, vain, or selfish for investing in yourself." She points out that we accept hair, makeup, and nails as self-care staples, so why not skin?

With her team's collaborative and fun spirit (they love pranking each other) and commitment to genuine relationships with clients, Maggie has created more than just a medical spa; she's built a community institution.
