Stephanie’s Unique Surgical Background
As a Registered Nurse, Stephanie has 16+ years of experience in the operating room, and nine of those years were at the Aesthetic Surgery Centre in Tacoma. This is where she gained her certification as well as many years of great joy in the OR. Her primary job as an RNFA was to assist the surgeon directy during surgery and apply her suturing skills to close tissue at the end of surgery. Because of this, she has a unique set of skills with a needle and truly understands the feel of the layers and depths of tissue. These skills translate beautifully to working with injectables, whether it’s working with tiny Botox needles or using cannulas in deep facia in the face.
Stephanie’s Injection Philosophy
Stephanie’s injection techniques are uniquely gentle. Due to her extensive familiarity with facial anatomy and structures, she guides patients through their aesthetic procedures by helping them understand their own anatomical makeup. This helps patients not only feel more comfortable with everything that’s happening during their treatments, but it puts them at ease.
She’s also a very conservative injector, believing that every person is uniquely beautiful in their own way, and she simply needs to remind them of that and help them see what she sees. Stephanie says that being middle-aged herself, she’s not interested in making her patients look fake or unnatural in any way. Instead, she aims to gently address the things they would like to adjust or enhance... Basically, she accentuates their existing natural beauty and stunning features while aiming for natural-looking results and flawless facial symmetry.
The “Gift of the Gab”
One reason Stephanie’s patients love working with her so much is that she not only helps people achieve their beauty goals, but she also loves making real-life connections with her patients that bring them closer to her heart. During any given treatment, you may find Stephanie chatting about gardening (dahlias are her specialty), home remodeling, music, food, wine, family, pets, and even car and motorcycle racing. She says that her patients truly become like family members that she looks forward to seeing.
“Each session is not only a ‘life catch up; from the last 3 months, but it’s also an opportunity to help each other grow in and out of the chair.” —Stephanie
What is Stephanie’s Favorite Treatment
When it comes down to it, Stephanie doesn’t have a single favorite, but any treatment that makes her patients happy is a winner in her book. Nothing fills her cup better than a satisfied client! She sees it as an honor to assist people in achieving the beauty and wellness goals they’ve been seeking after, whether that means referring them out for a surgical consult or treating them right in her chair with Catalyst’s many treatments. In-house treatments might include:
Using Botox to prevent “11s” from becoming crevices
Refreshing the midface with a little “cheek pick-me-up” dermal fillers
Opening up those eyes by battling lid ptosis
“Everybody has their ‘one thing’ that bothers them. Being able to address that directly and be successful is my ‘favorite treatment.’” —Stephanie
