Medical Laser Technician / Clinical Trainer

Andrea
I have always had a passion for skin and skincare. I started as an Esthetician in the spa industry in 2008 but always set my goals to work in a cosmetic Derm setting. After completing my training as a Clinical Assistant and Laser Technician I began working with Dr. Rao in 2011. I feel lucky and fortunate to be working with Dr. Rao who has continuously provided extensive knowledge and mentorship. In 2015, Dr. Rao created the Aesthetic Laser and Training Academy which I have had the privilege of teaching and training many students who have gone to rewarding careers. When I am not busy treating clients or teaching, I am spending time with my family and having fun with my kids. If I had to choose my top picks for skincare and laser, I would have to say that my favorite skin care that I can’t live without would be Retinol, Triple Lipid and SPF all by Skinceuticals. I would also highly recommend laser nano peels for clients with busy lifestyle’s who want glowing skin.

Sandra S

Sandra started her nursing career in a small northern community before moving to Edmonton to begin her career in dermatology! She trained to inject fillers and neuro-modulators, learning that just a few drops in a matter of minutes can make such a massive difference to a person’s look and attitude. Sandra’s go to for skincare is starting each day with vitamin C & E skin serum and sunscreen to protect the skin! Her favorite treatment is…of course…😃 filler., specifically undereye filler, a small amount can instantly brighten dark circles and lessen the appearance of bags under the eyes. An expert advised treatment to the eyes is very impactful, people look at each other in the eyes, this is what people are focused on when they are talking to you. ‍ She loves working at ActivMD Derm Spa as the team is dynamic, always supporting the clients and each other. The team is constantly learning, training on new procedures, and infused with positivity!
