Non-profit Follow-up: LDFA Mission Trip
June 29, 2022
Dr. O’s LDFA Mission Trip
You made a difference.
Thank you is simply not enough.
The generosity you have shown in partnering with us for this mission is so great and has served as an immense blessing to the many beautiful children and families in Malawi. With your help, we were able to provide clean water, vital resources, and most importantly, the sharing of hope within their communities.
The opportunity to be the “hands and feet” on the ground in this effort was more than an experience, it was a complete awakening.
From the bottom of my heart— thank you,
Dr. Nicole and the Med 1 Aesthetics Team

Non-profit Spotlight: Little Dresses for Africa
May 24, 2022
planting in the hearts of little girls that they are worthy
Little girls from Malawi showing off their new dresses from LDFA.
We’re not just sending dresses, we’re sending hope.
The road is especially tough for little girls and young women in Africa. Often small children are left as the primary caregivers to younger siblings due to the death of their parents from either disease or poverty. The dresses, provided freely to those in need by Little Dresses for Africa, plant the seed that they are worthy.
So much more than just a dress.
These little dresses are so much more than clothing. They offer a way into homes and villages to teach simple lessons about clean water and sanitation and promote good health and family skills knowledge. As relationships are formed, LDFA focuses on 3 things: clean water, education, and community.
Little Dresses for Africa is a non-profit 501c3 organization providing relief to the children of Africa.

Celebrating Women's History Month with Dr. Nicole O’Neill
DR. O’NEILL, ALWAYS WELCOMES ALL PATIENTS TO HER BEAUTIFUL TREATMENT ROOMS.
March 7, 2022
DR. O’NEILL WELCOMES ALL CLIENTS TO RELAX AND REJUVENATE IN HER TREATMENT CHAIR.
March is Women’s History Month, celebrating women’s contributions to history, culture, and society. So many amazing women have carved paths for others leading to greater waves of change.
As a women-owned and operated business, we want to honor women’s history month by celebrating one of the strongest women we know, Dr. Nicole O’Neill. Founder and lead injector at Med 1 Aesthetics, Dr. Nicole is not only a hardworking, hustling, make-it-happen female warrior but also has so much passion and love for others that truly shows through her work.
Years ago, Dr. Nicole envisioned a space where women (and men) could not only receive aesthetic treatments and self-care, but also feel calm, loved, and comfortable in their own skin again. We spoke with Dr. Nicole to discuss everything from her motivations behind opening Med 1 Aesthetics to other fun questions like advice for her younger self.
Q: When did you start Med 1 Aesthetics?
A: Sept 15th, 2015
Q: What made you want to open a medical spa?
A: I have never sought this path but feel God gave me the opportunity to uplift, empower, and even minister to women about their self-worth in unexpected and intimate ways. I care for women skin to soul. The glory is not mine. I am a servant fortunate enough to care for women.
Q: What does beauty mean to you?
A: Character. Intelligence. Strength. Soul… That is beauty.
Q: How does your personal life journey tie into what you do as a career today?
A: God has blessed me with powerful and dignified women both personally and professionally. The circles of women around us weave invisible nets of love that carry us when we are weak and sing with us when we are strong. If I found myself not with a tribe to be lifted up by, I would instead put my energy into lifting up another. That’s where power lives and prosperity can be found.
Q: Who is a woman that truly inspires you?
A: Senior Chief Theresa Kachindamoto of Malawi, Africa. The youngest of 12, and mother of 5, she has transformed a nation and its culture around young women. A dedicated women’s activist and renowned for her humanitarian efforts to dissolve childhood marriage, she feels that education is key to girls achieving their dreams.
Q: What advice would you tell 16-year-old Nicole if you could?
A: I am still the old soul I was as a 16-year-old girl, 36-year-old woman, and probably 86-year-old golden girl! My advice— never regret a day in your life. Good days give happiness, bad days give experience, worst days give lessons, and best days give beautiful and cherished memories.
