Skinspirations
Clinic Profile
Skinspirations (skinspirations.com) is a single-location esthetic and regenerative medicine practice at 13577 Feather Sound Drive, Suite 350, in Clearwater, Florida. The practice is owned and led by Dr. Cynthia Elliott, MD — described by many as “the best esthetic physician in Tampa Bay” — a nationally and internationally recognized clinician trainer who has trained over 275 physicians and clinicians in advanced esthetic injectable and laser techniques across the USA and Caribbean.
Skinspirations is a 20-year practice (opened 2005) that has performed over 88,000 procedures and operates under a distinctly no-pressure patient philosophy: Dr. Elliott has been told she is “the worst salesperson in the world,” a distinction she wears with pride. The practice is also notable for operating with zero sales pressure — some patients who consulted but didn’t proceed have returned years later specifically because they trusted the honest guidance they received.

Background and History
Skinspirations was opened in 2005 by Dr. Cynthia Elliott, after she spent 15 years as an emergency medicine physician at Tampa Bay trauma centers — including Bayfront Medical Center, St. Joseph’s Hospital, University Community Hospital, and Mease Countryside Hospital — and served as Associate Professor at the University of South Florida College of Medicine.
Inspired by her time observing a local dermatologist’s cosmetic practice in the early 2000s, Dr. Elliott spent two years in intensive cosmetic medical training before launching Skinspirations. Within two years of opening, in 2007, she was invited by Allergan (the makers of Botox and Juvederm) to become a national trainer for their products based on her results. She went on to become a national and international trainer for Cutera Lasers, teaching other physicians in aesthetic laser use for all skin colors.
She owns a companion company, ExpertEsthetics, which provides hands-on clinician training workshops and online video training for advanced injection and laser techniques. The practice has grown to 88,000+ procedures performed — and Dr. Elliott’s training work has produced so many practitioners in Tampa Bay that the clinic notes: “It’s likely that if you’ve had a treatment in Tampa Bay, the provider who did it was trained by Dr. Elliott.”
Recent milestones include two patents pending for medical products and the launch of a Skinsider Concierge Membership program for ongoing patient care and savings.

Dr. Elliott on patient trust: “We have so many clients who have been coming back to us for years because they trust us.
