Meet Victoria Rose Cyr, RN

Led by a National Clinical Trainer with 10,000+ Treatments Performed

At Victoria Rose Aesthetics, we believe that aesthetic care should go beyond the surface. Led by Victoria Rose Cyr, a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, our clinic combines medical precision with a deeply personal approach to beauty and wellness. Victoria entered through healthcare, not marketing or business, and that distinction defines everything about the clinic.

RN-owned and RN-led. Victoria Rose Cyr, BScN, leads the clinic and sets the clinical standard every practitioner works to. With over a decade of aesthetic-nursing experience — and five-plus years training injectors across Canada through Nuceiva and Teosyal — the clinical depth you'd hope to find here is the standard, not the exception.

Every plan layers evidence-based protocols — Sylfirm X, Sofwave, Fotona, hyaluronic acid, neuromodulators — sequenced over the right window for compounding results. Skin Club members get member pricing, priority booking, and complimentary skin assessments so the work keeps pace with what your skin is actually doing.

Health Canada-approved devices only, transparent pricing confirmed before any treatment begins, and an unhurried pace at every appointment. No upsell, no template plans. The same standard Victoria sets on her first day still decides what enters the clinic today.
