Profile

Susan Lindsey has an extensive background in the medical and esthetic industry. She has worked in all environments including ownership of two skin care clinics, day spa experience, and an esthetician for dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons. Most recently she has specialized in the use of the most effective and progressive laser equipment, peels, and microdermabrasion, and managed a medical spa.

In every environment she has researched new product, equipment, and the ever increasing "new treatments". It is essential to her as an effective and honest practitioner that the product and or equipment meets its claims and produces visible results.

Susan is a teacher. She has instructed estheticians, advised physicians, and most importantly the client or patient. Her delight in what she discovers about the many new products and trends for treatment is infectious. Information presented about ingredient purposes, skin care treatments, new equipment and options for surgical and injectable treatment planning are an ongoing study.
