Thistle Medical Aesthetics

We have some exciting news to share!

Many of you may know Mya as one of our bubbly front desk coordinators. We’re excited to share she is officially a Licensed Esthetician after recently passing her state board licensing exam 🎉 Mya Pacheco

Over the past year, Mya has spent her time studying and taking classes to get her closer to her dream of becoming an esthetician. Watching her dedication and passion come to life has been a joy for our team and we are so excited to officially welcome her into a provider role here at Thistle!

She is currently furthering her education to become a Licensed Master Esthetican and is also shadowing under the expertise of our esthetician team as she learns the ins and outs of exceptional client care, now from behind the treatment table.

We will be sure to keep you all updated as Mya gets closer to seeing clients on her own, but for now, please join us in congratulating her on this incredible accomplishment!

Mya, we could not be more proud of you! 👏🎉🩷

Estie + injector duo = the ultimate tag team for your skin 🤝

Our aesthetic Nurse Practitioners and estheticians worked together to create a plan that treated our client’s skin as a whole. We focused on softening repeated muscle movement, improving texture, supporting collagen, keeping the skin calm and hydrated, and helping her build a home routine that protected her progress between visits.

Her plan included:

✨ Routine Dysport injections
✨ SkinPen® microneedling series
✨ Glacial® Skin cryotherapy
✨ Custom facials
✨ At home skincare routine

One of the biggest shifts in her journey came from consistency! After seeing one of our posts here on Instagram about the importance of sunscreen, she became more diligent with daily SPF application, which is a huge win in our book!

SPF is one of the most important steps in protecting your results and we love that we encouraged her to make such a positive change in her routine 🫶

In-office treatments help boost your results by targeting concerns more deeply, but your at-home routine is what helps maintain those results between appointments.

If you are unsure where to start, schedule a consultation with one of our aesthetic professionals. Our team would love to help create a skin and aesthetic plan that supports your goals 💕

Let’s talk about the lines that can make the eyes look heavier over time 👁️

As we repeatedly squint, smile, frown, and create expressions, the muscles around the eyes and between the brows are constantly moving. Over time, that repeated movement can create etched-in lines, tension between the brows, and creasing around the eyes that may make the upper face look more tired or heavy.

For this client, we focused on the areas that can make the eyes look heavier or more tired over time, including the lines around the eyes and the “11s” between the brows. With strategic Daxxify injections, we can relax the underlying muscles responsible for repeated movement in these areas, helping to soften fine lines and create a smoother, more lifted, and refreshed appearance.

Have you tried Daxxify yet or have you been wanting to? Now is the time to plan ahead! Link in our bio to schedule your fall refresh! 📆

Want glowing skin in time for the holidays? Now’s the perfect time to start planning! ✨

Between family photos, holiday parties, and all the memories that make this upcoming holiday season special, your calendar is about to fill up quickly. This is your reminder to schedule time for your self care too and strategically plan your in office treatments to get you glowing in time for the holidays!

Our team believes that the best natural looking, impactful results usually come from a well thought out treatment plan that utilizes multiple modalities over time. We’re assessing your skin quality, collagen support, muscle movement, tissue structure, volume balance, and overall facial harmony as a whole. During your consultation, our aesthetic providers will take a comprehensive look at your skin and create a plan based on your goals and current skin health.

After summer, we often shift our focus toward correcting visible sun damage, pigment, redness, and uneven tone first. Treatments like Lumecca IPL Photofacial can help address brown spots, redness, broken capillaries, and overall discoloration so the skin looks brighter and more even.

From there, we can layer in regenerative treatments that support deeper correction. Solaria CO2 Laser, microneedling, and chemical peels may help improve texture, fine lines, acne scarring, crepey skin, enlarged-looking pores, dullness, and overall skin quality. These treatments work by stimulating the skin’s natural repair process and supporting collagen remodeling over time.

We may also incorporate wrinkle relaxers, dermal filler, and facials depending on what your skin needs.

Your at home care helps support your results between appointments and keeps your progress moving long after you leave the treatment room.

Don’t wait until December to start thinking about your holiday glow. We’d love to invite you in for a consultation and so that our team can assist in creating your individualized 90 day skin plan so you can head into the season feeling confident and ready for all the magical memories ahead 🎄
