A Little About Enhanced Aesthetix
Enhanced Aesthetix is a family-owned and operated Medical Spa that was started by a mom (Linda Webster) and two of her sons. They are located in Idaho Falls at 2431 Jafer Ct. and officially opened their doors on August 29, 2022. Linda’s husband is the 5th generation and her sons are the 6th generation of pioneer farmer/homesteaders to Rexburg. The Websters definitely have deep roots in the area.
“I have been involved in nursing or women’s health since 1979. As a nurse practitioner, I had patients who requested I provide aesthetic services,” said Webster. “My son is a CRNA and started going with me to conferences and classes two years ago. Every conference and class we went to we were a unique. We were the first mom and son that had ever attended classes together. We considered opening a medical spa and then Covid-19 hit and changed everyone’s life. The plan was put on hold until this year when life began settling down. Another son who has a MBA in business finance was interested in joining our business and the plans took hold.”
Currently the staff at Enhanced Aesthetix is comprised of seven individuals. A nurse practitioner in women’s health, a CRNA, three registered nurses, two licensed estheticians, and one office manager who is also a dental hygienist who is certified in nerve blocks. There is over 80 years of combined medical/aesthetic experience under one roof!
