A Journey from Makeup to Medicine

When she moved to Canada six years ago, the founder of Aegis Laser & Skin, Karan Deep, carried more than just experience — she brought a vision. After years of working in marketing and events, she longed to create something more personal. That spark led her from freelancing as a makeup artist to discovering the deeper science of healthy, radiant skin.

As her passion grew, so did her understanding. Beautiful makeup, she realized, begins long before the first brush stroke — it starts with the skin itself. Determined to learn more, she trained in medical aesthetics, lasers, and advanced skincare techniques, gaining hands-on experience alongside doctors and plastic surgeons. The result is a business that reflects both her creative and scientific sides — a perfect balance between art and anatomy.

A Philosophy That Goes Beneath the Surface

The name Aegis — meaning “to protect and support” in Greek — perfectly captures her approach. Every treatment begins with understanding the skin as part of the whole body. Her ongoing studies in naturopathic medicine and homeopathy bring an added dimension to her work.

She believes that lifestyle choices, including sleep, stress, and hydration, shape the way the skin behaves. That insight drives her holistic practice, where advanced technology meets natural healing. It’s this layered understanding that has earned Aegis Laser & Skin a loyal following throughout New Westminster.

Inclusive Innovation in Every Treatment

Innovation isn’t just about having the latest equipment — it’s about making sure everyone can benefit from it. Aegis Laser & Skin is one of the first clinics in New Westminster to offer a new-generation laser that’s safe and effective for all skin tones.

This inclusivity matters deeply to her. Many clients with darker skin tones have struggled to find treatments that don’t cause irritation or discoloration. By investing in technology that works safely for everyone, she’s created a clinic that celebrates diversity while delivering real, lasting results.

A Love Letter to New Westminster

When she opened her first studio on Columbia Street, she wasn’t sure what to expect. New to the community and still finding her footing, she signed a six-month lease and hoped for the best. The response was immediate — and heartwarming.

Local residents embraced her work from the very beginning. Today, many of her clients live nearby, often walking in from the Quay or hopping off the SkyTrain just to visit. Over time, those clients have become friends. “New West has given me so much,” she often says. “It feels like home.”

That sense of belonging is woven into every appointment, every conversation, every smile that leaves her clinic. It’s what transforms Aegis Laser & Skin from a treatment space into part of the city’s vibrant heartbeat.

From Prevention to Empowerment

If there’s one message she hopes people take away, it’s that caring for your skin is a form of self-respect. Too often, people wait until problems appear before taking action. At Aegis Laser & Skin, prevention and education are just as important as results.

Her most popular treatment, microneedling, exemplifies this philosophy. It encourages the body to naturally produce collagen, improving texture and tone from within. Clients see visible results, but more importantly, they rediscover confidence.

Behind every treatment is her unwavering belief that beauty is about feeling good in your own skin — and that confidence shines through long after you leave the clinic.

Experience the Glow

From makeup artistry to medical aesthetics, Aegis Laser & Skin’s story is one of evolution, passion, and care. The clinic stands as a beacon of innovation and inclusion in New Westminster’s growing beauty landscape.
