HER WHY: A Mother’s journey
Kirsten’s oldest son, Rhyan, was born with a dry skin disorder called Ichthyosis. His specific type is called Lamellar ichthyosis and was present at birth. There is currently no cure for ichthyosis. The goals of treatment include reducing the redness of the skin, thickness of the scales, and itching.
Kirsten’s middle and youngest sons, Sean and Brock, struggle with both Acne and Eczema.
Aesthetic Treatments, such as topical retinoid cream, microneedling with PRP/VAMP, hydrating facial treatments, and the use of Exosomes are among the treatments that may benefit those clients who have Acne, dry skin conditions, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.
Turning Pain into Passion
Kirsten was introduced to the world of Medical Aesthetics in 2019, following a car accident. She experienced debilitating chronic migraine headaches on a daily basis. After countless failed medication and other treatment attempts, her Neurologist recommended Botox. Within two weeks, her migraine headaches began to disappear. Receiving Botox injections every three months has completely changed and improved her life. She experienced pain relief and the added bonus of smooth and younger looking skin. Kirsten is a true believer in both the therapeutic and cosmetic benefits of Botox.
