CAPITOLA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 21, 2025 / RSMD Medical Aesthetics has officially reopened in a new location at 828 Bay Avenue, Capitola, CA 95010, just across the street from its former clinic, following a July 28 fire that forced the practice to relocate.
The fire originated in Sushi Garden, the restaurant below RSMD's previous office. While the upstairs clinic sustained damage, no patients or staff were present, and no injuries occurred. Thanks to the swift action of the Central Fire Department, who led the response, and the support of local first responders, the situation was contained quickly and safely.
"Our immediate concern was the safety of our community, and we are grateful no one was harmed," said Rebecca Small, MD, Founder and Medical Director of RSMD Medical Aesthetics. "We are especially thankful to the Central Fire Department and all of the first responders, and to our loyal patients for their support throughout this transition. This move has given us the opportunity to reimagine the RSMD experience and rebuild stronger than before."
RSMD Medical Aesthetics offers a comprehensive range of non-surgical treatments, from injectables, Hydrafacials, and EmSculpt Neo body contouring to advanced laser therapies such as IPL, hair removal, skin tightening, and resurfacing. While laser services were temporarily paused due to the fire, new technology is on the way, and these treatments will soon return - ensuring seamless continuity of care for patients.
Looking ahead, RSMD is also developing new conveniences to enhance patient access and care. Online booking, an RSMD mobile app, and a loyalty program are all coming soon, part of the clinic's ongoing commitment to continually improving the patient experience.
The reopening marks a new chapter for RSMD - one of resilience, renewal, and continued dedication to world-class aesthetic care.
