XERF Customer Success Story – Floresta Spa: Where Forest Serenity Meets Korean Innovation

Floresta Spa

Nestled in the tranquil forests of North Saanich, British Columbia, Floresta Spa is redefining what a med spa can be — blending advanced Korean skin technology with holistic wellness in a serene, nature-inspired sanctuary.  Co-founders Ivan Mishchenko and Pimchanok (“Pim”) Timmermann have built something truly extraordinary: a spa that feels more like a luxury retreat than a clinic. Surrounded by towering evergreens on their organic blueberry farm, clients experience world-class treatments in a space that radiates calm, care, and connection.

A Vision Rooted in Nature

Floresta Spa began as a dream shared by two people with a global perspective on beauty and wellbeing. After years of traveling to Thailand for skin tightening and lifting treatments, Ivan and Pim decided to bring the best of that technology home. With Pim’s background in holistic therapy and Ivan’s 35 years in engineering and sustainable business, they designed a sanctuary that honors both science and soul.

Their octagonal forest studio, filled with natural light and surrounded by greenery, is the physical expression of their philosophy: transformation through balance, precision, and compassion.

The Power of XERF

Floresta Spa became one of the first clinics in North America to purchase XERF, joining Cynosure Lutronic as an early adopter of the next-generation RF structural skin tightening system. Known for its pulsed RF delivery and Never Numb treatments, XERF perfectly aligns with the spa’s commitment to gentle yet effective rejuvenation.

“With XERF, we no longer need to travel halfway around the world for advanced tightening,” says Pim. “We brought that innovation home.”

Since introducing XERF, along with Ultra and RF microneedling, Floresta has developed customized complementary treatments that target every layer of the skin — improving tone, texture, and elasticity without downtime. Clients now travel from across Canada and the U.S. to experience these results for themselves.

Where Technology Meets Touch

Every client journey at Floresta begins with a comprehensive consultation, including their signature Korean skin analysis and a review of lifestyle factors such as hydration, nutrition, and stress. Their approach is holistic — pairing Cynosure Lutronic’s Ampoules, BE post-treatment masks, and exosome-powered skincare with the latest energy-based devices.

The result? A personalized, results-driven experience that feels as restorative as it is transformative.

A Milestone Moment

As Floresta Spa prepares for its grand opening on November 22, 2025, excitement continues to grow. They’ve already pre-sold treatment packages featuring XERF, Ultra, and Potenza, and word of mouth is spreading fast. Patients who once traveled abroad for rejuvenation are now discovering world-class technology — right in the heart of Vancouver Island.

Floresta Spa’s story represents more than a business success. It’s a glimpse into the future of aesthetics: where Korean innovation, natural serenity, and human connection come together to create meaningful, lasting beauty.
