I am a medical esthetician, certified medical electrologist, aesthetic blogger and owner of The Aesthetic Apothecary. I am the Resident Aesthetician for EnV Consulting - a national beauty consulting group. I have a degree in natural health with a concentration in paramedical skin care. I have 12 years of experience and have worked in the spa industry, in the plastic surgery field, for a top dermatologist and do freelance skin care training. I have also been featured on the Daily Buzz discussing various skin care topics. I sat on the Board of Directors for the Society of Plastic Surgical Skin Care Specialists, and am currently a member of the Society for Dermatology Skincare Specialists. I have put together this blog with miscellaneous information pertaining for the most part, to skin care, hair removal and esthetics. Feel free to ask your skin care, laser hair removal, and plastic surgery questions and I'll do my best to give you the information you're looking for! You can also follow The Aesthetic Apothecary on Facebook, and on Twitter you'll find me @ AApothecary.
