We’ve asked Alicia a few questions below so you can get a sense of who she is.

What brought you into the world of medical aesthetics?

I decided to pursue a career in medical aesthetics because of my own experience with problematic skin in the past. I struggled to find successful treatment and it inspired my choice to enroll in school to better understand solutions that actually work. Once there, I found my passion for aesthetics – I found something that makes me truly happy. I was able to educate myself with what I’d learned, and now all I want to do is share my knowledge so I can help others who feel unhappy with their own reflection.

What excites you about your work?

  • Meaningful relationships i get to make with wonderful people
  • This industry is forever evolving and changing! It’s a continuous education. I’m always updating my skills and learning something new
  • Being able to genuinely help patients feel better inside and outside is the best part

What is one thing you wish all patients knew?

  • It’s never too late to start your skincare journey or try a new treatment for the first time.
  • We all age but we can age gracefully and beautifully.
  • Self care is essential for your mental and physical health. 

What’s one thing you wish all patients would do?

Sunscreen is number one! I wish all my patients would use mineral SPF every day. And stay hydrated! Being well hydrated helps with everything from fine lines and wrinkles to acne.

What is your favorite treatment and why?

I love them all equally! Each treatment and procedure serve a purpose. All the treatments we have here at The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic are tools I can use alone or in combination to obtain the best results for an individual.

What do you love about TCSC? 

I really enjoy working with the team, and love professionalism and the positive atmosphere.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not at the clinic? Any hobbies?

My favorite thing is spending time with friends and family. I have a beautiful Golden Retriever named Loki who keeps me very active. I also have a passion for antiquing, refurbishing and design.

I can’t wait to meet you and help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Kind regards,  

Alicia Vanderwal
