OUR MISSION

PREPÆRE is the first online platform aiming to make pre-treatment mental health screening fast, simple, and easy to interpret for aesthetic medicine practitioners, with the ultimate goal of safeguarding patients' mental health.

SAFEGUARDING PATIENTS' MENTAL HEALTH

50 percent of patients with BDD will go to a dermatologist or cosmetic professional to alter or change something. The result of any surgery or procedure for someone with BDD will almost always prove unsatisfactory to the person.

SIMPLIFYING PRE-TREATMENT SCREENING

Make mental health assessment before cosmetic procedures fast, simple, accessible and intuitive. Over 78% of practitioners do not employ a screening method because existing tools are time consuming, expensive, difficult to interpret, and complicated.

BUILDING A SUPPORTIVE
COMMUNITY

Connect medical aesthetics practitioners, patients and mental health professionals to share knowledge and resources and raise awareness of mental health issues across the beauty industry.

TEAM

Brea CANNADY

FOUNDER

Brea founded PREPÆRE™ in 2024 with the mission of safeguarding patients' mental health and raising awareness about appearance-related mental health issues. She earned her degree in Physics with Medical Physics from University College London (UCL) in 2020 but felt drawn to a career in finance. While working at a boutique investment consultancy, Brea began exploring the medical aesthetics market and was captivated by its transformative potential. Brea's interest in the aesthetics industry is both professional and deeply personal. No stranger to cosmetic procedures herself, she has firsthand experience with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and eating disorders from her teenage years, making her acutely aware of the beauty industry's impact on mental health. Brea is dedicated to fostering a compassionate approach within the medical aesthetics field to ensure that every individual's well-being is prioritised above all else.

Dogtor B

CO-FOUNDER & CHIEF MORALE OFFICER

Dr. B is a graduate of Barkley University where he studied Advanced Passive Calming and graduated with First class honours. He famously almost dropped out of his Doctorate in Dog Obedience when he was spotted on a beach and catapulted onto the front covers of Vogue and Elle. He took a break from modelling to write his best seller “Everything Can Be Solved With a Doggie Treat”, following many years of assisting people with their mental health in his free time offering many strokes and ear fondles. Dr. B is a certified therapy dog. Whilst not working, Dr. B is a competitive open water swimmer and squirrel chaser. Despite what Brea tells you, Dr. B is not actually her dog.

Aesthetic procedures and pre-treatment mental health screenings go hand in hand. It's common to talk about promoting overall well-being, but we need to take real action. Raising awareness is the crucial first step.
