Meet the Woman Behind the Sanctuary
Warm, intuitive, and endlessly passionate, Lygia is best known for her results-driven, personalised approach to advanced skin rejuvenation and non-invasive body treatments. A pioneer of the non-surgical HIFU facelift on the Gold Coast, she brings a deeply holistic philosophy to everything she does — one that views beauty as something cultivated from the inside out.
With a background in both fitness and beauty, Lygia understands the intricate connection between movement, internal wellness, and glowing skin. It’s this integrative approach that shapes every treatment — always tailored, always intentional.
Clients describe their experience at Beauty Sanctuary as “stepping into a warm embrace.” It’s not just about skin — it’s about being seen, heard, and truly cared for.
More Than Skin Deep
Outside the treatment room, Lygia is a mother of two, a passionate cook (Hungarian goulash, anyone?), a devoted reader of medical journals, and a lifelong lover of art, music, and sport. Her life is full — and it’s that same richness she brings into every client experience.
At Beauty Sanctuary, ageing is celebrated, not feared. Science and luxury go hand in hand. And beauty is honoured in all its stages.
