MEDFORD, Oreg., Nov. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Clinic
for Dermatology & Wellness is thrilled to welcome Mikaela Ford, an advanced aesthetician, to their
team. Mikaela attended Rogue Community
College in which she earned a general associate degree in
basic studies before pursuing her passion for aesthetics. She first
received her aesthetics certificate before pursuing the state's
rigorous Advanced Aestheticians licensure. Not all states recognize
advanced aestheticians. In Oregon,
this license can only be obtained after undergoing 500 hours of
theory and practical education and a minimum of 110 procedures
before passing a certified state board test through Oregon's Health Licensing Office.
At The Clinic, Mikaela performs many advanced aesthetic
procedures including body contouring with EMSCULPT NEO® and
CoolSculpting®, microneedling with the RejuvaPen®, BBL®
photofacials and laser hair removal, chemical peels, HydraFacial®
and more.
"What sets me apart from other aesthetic practitioners is the
willingness I have to learn and keep up with the newest and
upcoming modalities," says Mikaela. "I am passionate about
understanding the best products for skin health and continuing to
enhance my education in the newly advancing industry of aesthetics.
I am inspired to stay current with the various modalities in order
to customize treatments to cater to the cosmetic needs of my
patients."
In addition to Mikaela, The Clinic for Dermatology &
Wellness is proud to have David

English fluently. With an undergraduate degree in Spanish Language
