Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Hillary Taggart. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Dr. Hillary Taggart has been in the medical aesthetic industry since 2014 where she began her career at a plastic surgeon’s office. After building her skills, she transitioned to one of the nation’s top medspas, Elase Medical Spa. In addition to providing high-quality, sought-after aesthetic treatments and injectables, Hillary trained physicians and nurses all over the United States for the National Institute of Medical Aesthetics. Hillary saw first-hand how medspa were allowing the mighty dollar sign to let the focus slip away from what’s most important, the client. This drove her to open her own practice in 2018 with two offices, one in Millcreek and the other in Sandy. Clients responded favorably as her business grew exponentially in a matter of two years which pushed her to expand and rebrand in 2021, opening a Boutique style medspa that is client-centric.
Dr. Taggart emphasizes a more natural and conservative look for her clients. She has noticed that so many offices will go purely for quantity over quality, leaving their clients overdone and looking unnatural. Her goal is to first listen to her clients to understand their needs, concerns, and desired results. Secondly, she takes time to educate the client so they understand why she may choose one product vs another or suggest one area to treat in addition to a concern a client brings up. As she puts it, her technique creates a result that “Everyone will notice, but no one will know.” This extra time and attention bring clients to Dr. Taggart’s office from across the United States because her work and communication with clients speaks for itself. Her energy is contagious, and her results are beautiful, restorative, and natural. It’s apparent to all that meet her she is passionate about what she does!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It’s definitely been a steep and gradual climb. I remember a month or two after I first started doing cosmetic injections, I put in a really big $10,000 order for Botox. The integrative medicine clinic where I was working at the time was attending a big convention and we thought me doing Botox would help clients approach our booth. I also had scheduled a big Botox party at where I was renting space to do the cosmetic injections. That big weekend where I thought I was going to make lots of money? I may be sold about $3,000 worth. I found myself 29 weeks pregnant with a baby who had a birth defect that I didn’t know was going to live or die, thousands of dollars of student loans from recently finishing my DNP, and then an added 7K worth of Botox sitting in my fridge. It was terrifying. But somehow, I eventually got through it all. And now when I regularly put in $10,000 worth of Botox orders every other week, I reflect upon how far I have come.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Modern Medical Aesthetics?
Starting with a medical staff of one- Dr. Hillary Taggart began her own injectable and medical aesthetics business in 2019 after gaining years of crucial experience with the nation’s most talented and sought-after injectors and clinicians. Her work and quality spoke for themselves by skyrocketing much more than a team could keep up with. This dramatic growth prompted Hillary to expand and team up with friend and colleague, Taryn Hewlett, to create the new and improved Modern Medical Aesthetics.
Both Women focus on serving the client. They promise education instead of ego; Service instead of sales; and trust instead of taking advantage. With a theme of natural results, personalized injections, and transparent pricing- Modern Medical Aesthetics will be sure to please each client that walks through the door.
What were you like growing up?
I have always been a very curious individual. I have always sought to understand and know the why behind things. I’ve also been very independent my whole life and questioned authority or looked for exceptions to the rules. I was raised by a father who, in the ’90s, taught me to make sure to get an education in case of divorce, disability, or a husband’s death. He taught me to dream big. His encouragement has helped me to get where I am today.
