Ask our Medical Aesthetician - FAQ

Hello Moncton!

At EASTND we get a lot of questions around our skin services, so we thought we interview Karen our Medical Aesthetician to help answer your questions. 

Let’s get started!

Question - First what exactly does a Medical Aesthetician treat and how can you help me?

Medical Aesthetician - 

A medical aesthetician is a trained skin care professional who specializes in providing safe and effective treatments for a wide range of skin concerns. They work closely with patients to develop personalized skincare plans and provide treatments that can help to improve the overall appearance and health of the skin.

Some of the specific tasks that a medical aesthetician may perform include the following:

1. Conducting skin assessments to identify specific skin concerns and develop treatment plans

2. Providing a variety of treatments, such as facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion and microneedling, to improve the texture, tone, and appearance of the skin

3. Providing education on proper skincare techniques, such as cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing, to help patients maintain healthy, radiant skin

4. Advising on the use of skincare products and ingredients, and recommending appropriate products based on individual skin type and concerns

Overall, medical aestheticians play a critical role in helping clients achieve and maintain healthy, radiant skin. They are trained and experienced in providing a wide range of treatments and services that can improve the appearance and health of the skin.

Question - What is your favourite treatment for treating acne?

Medical Aesthetician - Jessner peel is a type of chemical peel that can be used to improve the appearance of acne-prone skin. It is a medium-depth peel that uses a combination of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol to exfoliate the skin and help to unclog pores.

One of the main reasons to use a Jessner peel for acne is that it can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation. The exfoliating properties of the peel can help to remove dead skin cells and smooth out the texture of the skin, improving the overall tone and clarity of the skin.

Additionally, the salicylic acid in the Jessner peel can help to unclog pores and prevent the formation of new acne lesions. This can help to reduce the frequency and severity of acne breakouts, and can improve the overall health and appearance of the skin.

Overall, a Jessner peel can be a useful treatment option for those with acne-prone skin. It can help to improve the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation, unclog pores, and prevent the formation of new acne lesions.

And don’t forget, this is not a one and done treatment. Though you will have results after the first treatment, it will more than likely take 3 -4 appointments to get the exact results you are looking for.

Question - I am 35 and starting to worry about fine lines and wrinkles, will microneedling help?

Medical Aesthetician - Microneedling can be an effective treatment for fine lines and wrinkles, and is suitable for individuals of all ages who are concerned about the effects of aging on their skin.

As we age, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin naturally slows down, leading to the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Microneedling can help to stimulate the production of these proteins, which can help to improve the overall texture, tone, and elasticity of the skin.

Additionally, microneedling can also enhance the absorption of skin care products, allowing active ingredients to be delivered deep into the skin where they can be most effective. This can help to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin, and can provide long-lasting benefits for fine lines and wrinkles.

Overall, if you are starting to worry about fine lines and wrinkles, microneedling can be an effective treatment option to consider.

Question -  What is your go to product to help keep our skin young and healthy?

 Medical Aesthetician - Our EASTND in.house B Serum is our go to product for youngest, healthiest, clearest skin and safe for everyone!

The star ingredient is Bakuchiol. A plant-based compound that is found in the seeds and leaves of the Psoralea corylifolia plant, which is native to Asia. It has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, and is now being studied for its potential use in skincare products.

• improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles,
• anti-inflammatory - reduction of acne
• antioxidant - slows down the aging process
• gentle alternative to retinol, which is a common ingredient in many skincare products but can be irritating for some people.

Our last question - I want to improve my skin, how do I get started?

Medical Aesthetician - First, it's important to establish a regular skincare routine that includes cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing your skin. This will help to remove impurities, unclog pores, and keep your skin hydrated and healthy.

You should also make sure to protect your skin from the sun by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.

In addition, eating a healthy and balanced diet, staying hydrated, and not smoking can all help to improve the health of your skin.

If you are looking for deeper, long lasting changes to your skin, booking in for a skin consult will get you started on a path to youngest, healthiest skin possible.
