Partnerships for Success: How 3 Vegas Entrepreneurs Made it on Top

In business and in life, who you surround yourself with is important; it affects your energy and flow. And with Tonia Ryan and Dr. Christopher Korsandi M.D., the duo’s success has turned heads. With Ryan’s 20 years in the skin care business and Dr. Korsandi’s renowned work as a plastic surgeon in the Las Vegas area, they created Smazy and Smazy Academy. Smazy.com is a skin care line of high quality, medical grade skin care products that are results driven. SmazyAcademy.com is an educational resource for their customers to utilize to learn how to take better care of their skin, answer popular questions, and use their smazy products.

Ryan and Dr. Korsandi’s skin care line, Smazy, is focused on three important beliefs about how skin care should be:

  1. Smart: No harmful ingredients in any product they create or promote. “There are so many different skincare products on the market that contain many harmful ingredients and that can be overwhelming and confusing to the consumer”
  2. Easy: “They wanted the skincare choices to be “easy” for the consumer to understand and be able to choose from. Smazy makes this easy by using clean and natural ingredients in their skincare products”.
  3. Savvy: “They wanted skin care products that were results driven and really did what they said they were going to do. They had to “work” and be of the highest quality.” 

Smazy’s products are clinically tested for the highest quality of naturally-derived ingredients. And all products are paraben and sulfate free, gluten free, cruelty-free, made in the USA, naturally-derived, and fragrance free.

Tonia Ryan is dedicated and constantly educating herself on the ups and downs of the industry and her success has paid off. Her experience is something that she can easily utilize for her skin care brands that she has created including Inance Skin. “Listen to others that inspire you,” she encourages. Her social platform (@realtoniaryan) is a great tool to see what she’s up to and any Smazy and Smazy Academy updates. You’ll even see a bit of Dr. Korsandi and her husband, Derek Cavan of Squared Realty.

Dr. Korsandi is a board-certified plastic surgeon offering cosmetic, plastic and reconstructive procedures for the breast, body, face and skin. He is the Chief Plastic Surgeon for VIP Plastic Surgery, one of the most reputable plastic surgery practices in the Las Vegas, NV area. He is proud to operate with “endless compassion, dedication and commitment to excellence.”

His popular instagram with over 180K followers can be found at @docvegas where he showcases beautifully captured pictures of success stories, patients, and his work. Most of which can be booked for consultation on his official website vipplasticsurgery.com in his Nevada practice.

Derek Cavan, Tonia Ryan’s husband, is the owner of Squared Realty. He is a real estate broker in Las Vegas and Florida. Cavan has been in the real estate industry since 2004 starting out in South Florida. 

He began assisting in residential and commercial brokerage transactions with speciality in the purchase and sale of liquor licenses.
