Day in the Life
Alla Fishman, LME
Aviva Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics

I am a licensed medical aesthetician with 27 years’ experience in the aesthetic industry.

My day usually starts around 9 am. A typical day for me includes consulting with patients about medical skincare regimens; performing treatments such as facials, lymphatic massages, microneedling, chemical peels, and dermaplaning to help improve the texture, tone, color, and appearance of skin. In addition to seeing patients, I also follow up with them regarding treatments, managing skincare inventory, and meeting with reps to learn about new products, companies, and aesthetic procedures.

Pros

I get to practice skin health and aesthetics which I am passionate about.

Cons

The huge amount of work involved in figuring out the benefits or drawbacks of new treatments, and whether these are worthwhile for us to try in our practice.
