Medical Aesthetician & Skincare Therapist, CIDESCO, 20+ Years Experience

Kristy Livingston

 

There’s something magical about a woman who looks effortlessly polished and confident in her own skin. As a young girl, I remember sitting on my mother’s bathroom vanity, watching her get ready for the day. She always made the entire process into a work of art (and still does). 

She inspired me from a young age to care for my skin and always look my best, and after graduating high school, this passion led me to enroll in aesthetics college.

In the years that followed, I went on to become certified as a clinical skincare therapist in Belfast, Northern Ireland, train as a clinical aesthetician in Atlanta, Georgia, and work in a wide variety of med spa and aesthetic clinic settings all throughout Western Canada. 

Through my experience in these different environments, I came to realize that there was a missing link between medical clinics and spas. As a clinical aesthetician, I managed people’s pain instead of making them feel relaxed. In med spas, I met clients who would spend huge amounts on cosmetic procedures but had never even been taught how to properly care for their skin on a daily basis.

And so, I turned my career focus to establishing a new kind of practice; one that would provide medical-grade skincare and treatments backed by scientific research, while still offering the relaxing and luxurious experience of a spa.

In this same period, I found myself missing small, connected island communities like the one I had grown up in. At the beginning of 2016, I decided that a quieter and more balanced lifestyle was the choice for me, so I moved out of the bustling city of Vancouver and into the lovely seaside town of Qualicum Beach. There, I began running my own private practice from the comfort of my beautiful home.


I am delighted to welcome you into this community and the comfortable, elegant private studio space I have established here, where I am committed to providing expert, medical-grade skincare, and addressing all of your skin’s needs.

Oh and I should mention – my mother is now a regular client of mine!


 

 

 

 

 



Medical Aesthetician, Laser Technician

Jamie Pearson

 

Hello! I’ve been an experienced Medical Aesthetician and Laser Technician with over 8 years of knowledge and skill in the med spa field. I graduated from aesthetics school in 2015 and quickly identified my passion for the medical aesthetics world. After I obtained my Aesthetic Laser certificate from Aesthetic Medicine Training Academy I became certified in seven different laser modalities as well as Microneedling, RF Microneedling, HydraFacial, Dermaplaning and body contouring. Most recently, I’ve worked for the top med spa clinics in the Comox Valley and I’m thrilled to now be working in a boutique med spa setting with Kristy!

What excites me about the med spa industry? I love helping clients achieve their skin goals by helping cut through the beauty industry “noise” and educating them about the science, skincare and treatments that actually work. And for me, attention to detail when working with aging skin, high-performing skin care and technology is non-negotiable. You’ve trusted me with your skin and I take that seriously.

When I’m not in the clinic, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, friends and new puppy Gemma. We love exploring the beautiful landscape of Vancouver Island and all the magic it has to offer!
