Summary

As a skilled and compassionate Nurse/Medical Aesthetician, I bring a unique blend of medical expertise and aesthetic knowledge to deliver exceptional patient care. With a strong background in nursing and extensive training in advanced skincare and aesthetic procedures, I am able to provide comprehensive assessments, treatment plans, and follow-up care to clients. My experience in performing a variety of cosmetic treatments such as chemical peels, and laser therapies, coupled with my ability to educate clients on skincare best practices, helps them achieve their aesthetic goals and feel confident in their own skin. As a licensed healthcare professional, I prioritize patient safety and comfort and adhere to strict hygiene and sterilization protocols. With excellent communication skills and a focus on building strong patient relationships, I am able to address client concerns, answer questions, and provide personalized care plans that meet their individual needs. Whether working independently or as part of a team, I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care and ensuring positive outcomes for my clients.
