Kimberly Copeland is a dynamic force in the world of aesthetics and beauty. As a seasoned cosmetologist and entrepreneur, she has made a name for herself with her innovative approach to enhancing natural beauty and helping her clients age gracefully. Founder of ZenTox Aesthetics, Kimberly has dedicated her career to mastering techniques that achieve flawless, balanced results while maintaining the highest ethical standards in the industry. With her signature Lip Trifecta and a focus on client well-being, Kimberly’s passion and expertise continue to set her apart as a leader in aesthetic care.
Can you tell us more about the Lip Trifecta and what inspired you to create it?
The Lip Trifecta is my baby. I’ve been in the industry since 2011, and there came a point in my training where I was determined to master the art of creating the perfect lip. Lips are the focal point of the face—they’re sexy and highly sought after!
I attended various courses on injectables for the body and face but struggled to find a good lip filler course. For two years, I experimented with different products, techniques, and studied how the results aged with the lip. My goal was not only to develop a technique and product selection that would create stunning results but also to ensure that the Lip Trifecta process would age well over time. I wanted clients to love the way their lips looked, even a year later. My perfectionist tendencies and desire to achieve the perfect focal point for the face inspired me to create the Lip Trifecta.
What led you to start ZenTox Aesthetics, and what sets it apart from other aesthetic clinics in Boca, Florida?
It’s a simple answer for me—I wanted to create a workplace where I and my employees would be happy. My goal was to establish a positive work environment that people would genuinely enjoy coming to. I love good camaraderie, and I’m passionate about my work as an injector.
After experiencing different work environments, I realized the next step in my journey was to open my own practice. ZenTox Aesthetics was born from the desire to build a healthy, happy workspace with a great work-life balance.
What sets ZenTox Aesthetics apart? We prioritize ethics and quality over offering every new treatment that hits the market. If we offer something, it’s because we’ve mastered it first. Additionally, we deeply value our clients, building strong relationships and ensuring that they receive results-oriented aesthetic care along with top-notch customer service. Our genuine passion for what we do shines through in every aspect of our work.
How do you balance your role as an entrepreneur and a cosmetologist, and what does a typical day look like for you?
Balance is something I’m still working on—it’s harder to achieve than it seems. Over the years, I’ve learned a lot about how to balance different aspects of my life, but self-care is non-negotiable. Taking care of myself physically, mentally, and spiritually allows me to be there for my business, staff, clients, family, and friends.
Delegating has also been key—learning to accept that I can’t do everything has been essential. I’ve learned to recognize my limits and avoid pushing myself too far. As a go-getter, it’s tempting to do it all, but I’m learning to pace myself to prevent burnout.
A typical day for me? Busy! It’s a constant go-go-go schedule. I’m always on the move, and over time, I’ve gotten used to it. It’s my norm now, and I’m OK with that. Honestly, I wouldn’t know what to do with two consecutive days off!
What are some common misconceptions about facial balancing, and how do you educate your patients about its benefits?
There are so many misconceptions in this industry, which is frustrating because it’s not as regulated as it should be. One of the most common misconceptions is the amount of product needed for facial balancing. Many people assume they need 10 fillers in their face, but that’s not the case.Depending on the person’s age and how well they take care of themselves, facial balancing can often be achieved with just 2 to 5 syringes.
It’s also important to understand that facial balancing is a multi-modality process. Every layer of tissue ages—our skin, fat, muscles, ligaments, and even bones. So, to achieve the best results, we need to address multiple layers. Focusing on just one layer or modality doesn’t provide the comprehensive results patients deserve.
I always consult with my patients, even if they’ve been with me for 10+ years. I believe in ongoing education and ensuring we’re on the same page before starting any treatment. That approach ensures that patients understand the process and the benefits of a multi-layered approach.
How do you approach enhancing natural beauty while ensuring your clients age gracefully?
My goal as an injector is never to give someone something they’ve never had, except in cases like lips. With the Lip Trifecta™️, I take into account personal goals and anatomical structures to ensure that the results flow seamlessly with the rest of the face.
Most of the time, my aim is to restore what time and gravity have taken away, rather than augmenting and giving someone a feature they never had, like an exaggerated cheekbone. This is how I help my patients look natural while still feeling like they’re aging gracefully.
Of course, there are exceptions, and I always have conversations with my patients to create a treatment plan that works for both of us. Ultimately, I focus on ensuring that the face as a whole flows naturally, rather than treating features in isolation.
Can you share some success stories or transformations you’ve seen with your clients using your techniques?
Helping someone feel better about themselves is one of the best feelings! When people feel good about themselves, they excel in other areas of life. I’m fortunate to work in an industry that allows me to help clients achieve both aesthetic and personal goals. I see aesthetic medicine as a form of self-care, just like taking care of your nails, hair, or working out.
I’ve had many success stories, especially when clients come to me after a bad experience with another injector. Helping them regain confidence is incredibly rewarding. Other memorable moments include helping clients with natural asymmetries or addressing issues like hyperhidrosis, where we boost their confidence by treating excess sweating in problem areas.
Every day brings new transformations, and it’s always a heartwarming experience to see how our work positively impacts our clients’ lives.
