Today we’d like to introduce you to Vicky Keisler
Hi Vicky, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My journey with Na’ava Skin Care Spa is one of resilience, passion, and dedication. Raised in post-war Vietnam by my grandmother after losing my parents, I embraced hard work, wisdom, and karma, shaping my approach to both life and business. After moving to the U.S. with the support of my husband, I pursued my passion for skincare, leveraging my 20+ years of expertise in cystic acne and hyperpigmentation treatments.
I started Na’ava Skin Care Spa in a single room, facing challenges in a market dominated by Botox and fillers. With a focus on organic ingredients and noninvasive treatments, I gradually built a reputation, earning the trust of clients who now travel from across the U.S. and internationally for my services. In just two years, I expanded to a 5-room office, and my success is driven by strong client relationships, repeat customers, and my trademarked skincare line, Paniym, which blends Buddhist and Christian values.
Today, Na’ava is a leading skincare destination in South Orange County, recognized for its budget-friendly alternatives to surgery. As I continue to push for greater success, I hope to one day land the cover of Vanity Fair and expand my impact in the skincare industry.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
My journey in building Na’ava Skin Care Spa was far from easy as I started with nothing and faced numerous challenges, both personal and professional, on my path to success. Starting out I had limited resources and the skincare industry in Southern California was already saturated, by medical spas offering Botox, fillers, and trendy, quick-fix treatments that overshadowed my organic, noninvasive approach. It was difficult to convince people that natural solutions could be just as effective, if not better.
Gaining awareness was another uphill battle because, without a big investor or flashy advertising, I had to rely on word-of-mouth and repeat customers to market my business. I had to build my reputation one client at a time and it took a while for people to gravitate to the benefits of holistic skincare. Keeping up with expenses and paying rent, buying quality products were all major concerns in the early years. As an immigrant entrepreneur, I faced moments of self-doubt but I pushed through with resilience and the belief that Karma and hard work would lead to success. Through sheer determination, my reputation grew organically and clients began to see real results, leading to a loyal customer base that traveled from across the U.S. and internationally just to see me. This demand allowed me to expand from just a one-room clinic to a five-room medical spa which turned out to be a game-changer, especially during COVID. However, despite early struggles, Na’ava Skin Care Spa is a recognized name in South Orange Cunty now with my own trademarked skincare line, Paniym, Despite the early struggles, my journey is proof that success isn’t about shortcuts-it’s about perseverance, and staying true to your purpose.
We’ve been impressed with Na’ava Skin Care Spa, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I want readers to know that Na’ava Skin Care Spa is more than just a skincare clinic—it’s a place where people can find real solutions for their skin concerns without resorting to harsh, expensive, or invasive procedures. With 20+ years of experience, I specialize in treating cystic acne, hyperpigmentation, and other severe skin conditions. Unlike medical spas that push Botox and fillers, Na’ava focuses on natural, science-backed treatments that heal and restore your skin from the inside out. We use our trademarked, all-natural skincare line, Paniym, which blends plant-based ingredients with all-natural and organic solutions. We understand that no two skin types are the same. We tailor each treatment to your unique needs, offering budget-friendly alternatives to laser treatments, plastic surgery, and other expensive procedures. At Na’ava, we believe that skincare is self-care, and everyone deserves to feel confident in their skin. Whether you struggle with severe acne or just want a healthier glow, we’re here to help you achieve lasting, natural beauty. I encourage everyone to come to experience the Na’ava difference—where skincare meets science, nature, and a touch of love
Any big plans?
I would like to expand to new locations beyond Irvine, making our holistic, noninvasive skincare accessible to more people. I would like to grow our online store for Paniym Skin Care, so clients worldwide can experience our plant-based, products from home. We’re continuously researching cutting-edge, noninvasive skincare solutions to provide the best results without harsh chemicals or surgery. Our trademarked skincare line will introduce new, targeted formulas to help even more skin concerns. As someone who came from humble beginnings, I want to use my success to give back—whether it’s helping young women entrepreneurs or supporting skincare initiatives in underserved communities. We aim to help thousands more clients struggling with severe acne, hyperpigmentation, and other skin conditions.Na’ava Skin Care Spa isn’t just a business—it’s a movement towards a healthier, more natural approach to beauty. 🌿💙 The future is bright, and we can’t wait to share it with you!
