Look at this transformation and imagine the confidence that came with it 🤍

A year ago, this patient came to us after trying to manage her acne for years. She was close to starting Accutane when she decided to try Face Reality with Marlene, our medical aesthetician.

Marlene created a personalized at-home routine for her, along with @facerealityskincare peels and regular check-ins.

After just 6 in-office treatments, her acne had cleared and she continues to see Marlene for maintenance and to work on her skin texture. We’re so happy to see how far her skin has come 🤍

Aestheticians change lives. 🤍

There is knowledge behind our hands, intention behind our treatments, and care behind every relationship we build.

Today, on National Aesthetician Day, I want to honor the aestheticians who keep studying, asking questions, and showing up for the people who trust them with their skin. The work we do can be deeply personal, and that trust is never something to take lightly.

After 18 years in this profession, one of my greatest honors is getting to learn from other aestheticians and help train them, too. Every room I teach in is also a room I learn in. Experience gives us something to share; humility keeps us open to what someone else can teach us.

I’m also deeply grateful to the @iasurgery for giving me the space and support to serve others with love, compassion, and care. Being able to bring that part of myself into my work means so much to me.

To my fellow aesties: your knowledge, your compassion, and your dedication deserve to be celebrated. I’m grateful to be part of this profession alongside you. 🤍

Special thank you to @beautywithinboynton for hosting this wonderful training and capturing and editing this wonderful video! 🎥💕

I’m Marlene. I’m 51, and I’m not trying to look like an earlier version of myself 🤍

This month I am sharing the 3 parts of my reinvention that feel most personal: gray hair, skincare, and fashion.

I’ve been an aesthetician since 2008, I’m 16 months dye free, and I love an outfit that makes getting dressed feel like an occasion.

I can embrace my gray hair and still care deeply about my skin. I can love fashion and choose clothes for who I am today. Accepting my age doesn’t mean losing interest in how I look.

That’s what reinvention at 51 looks like for me: paying attention to what I love, what I’ve outgrown, and what I want to try next.

Here, I share gray hair, skincare expertise, and fashion with the hope that you’ll find something useful—or the nudge to wear something you’ve been saving for “someday.”

I want to feel powerful at this age. And I want that for you, too.

Tell me: what’s something you’ve finally given yourself permission to do?

A lot of people hear DiamondGlow and think it’s just a facial.

In reality, it’s a skin-resurfacing treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses professional-grade serums all in one step—leaving skin smoother, brighter, and more hydrated.

At IAS, our signature IAS Glow Treatment combines dermaplaning, DiamondGlow, and a SkinMedica Illuminize Peel for that fresh, healthy glow with little to no downtime.

✨ Smooth. Bright. Hydrated.

Still taking this in ✨

Not just the space, but the people, the level of intention behind every conversation, every demo, and every moment of learning.

Being around these experts I genuinely respect has a way of grounding you and stretching you at the same time.

Watching technique at this level doesn’t just teach you, it recalibrates you. It raises what you’re willing to accept from yourself.

This industry doesn’t stand still, and neither can we. The best thing we can do is stay open…
Open to learning
Open to being challenged
Open to refining what we thought we already knew

Because this isn’t just about what happens here. It’s about what we carry back into our treatment rooms, into our patients, into the way we show up every day.

That’s what this @allergan_medical_institute really represents to me…not just education, but a responsibility to help raise the standard and pour that knowledge back into other estheticians for our patients.

Grateful for the respect, the mentorship, and the reminder that growth doesn’t come from comfort…it comes from rooms like this!

I’m getting older, my hair is getting grayer, and somehow we’re both looking better. What a plot twist. 😂 @mjgray__ nailed it! 🔈

If you’re thinking about going gray, here are six things that helped me:

1. Know why you want to do it. There will be days when someone else’s opinion feels louder than your own. Come back to your reason.
2. Make peace with the awkward phase. Seeing your old color next to your new growth can test your patience. It’s a stage of the process, not the final picture.
3. Do it at your own pace. I’ve been cutting away the dyed ends gradually. Every cut feels like a little more of me showing up.
4. Take the photos, even when you don’t love the mirror. Some days I felt like nothing was changing. Looking back showed me how far I’d come.
5. Don’t put your life on hold until your hair is “done.” Wear the beautiful clothes. Go out. Be in the pictures. You’re here now.
6. Let it be your choice. You don’t need anyone else to understand why you want to go gray. You deserve to find out how you feel about it.

I’m still growing mine out. Some days are easier than others, but I’m glad I gave myself permission to start. 🤍

Some treatments simply work better together.

DiamondGlow helps create a clean, refreshed canvas, while microneedling supports your skin’s natural renewal process. Depending on your skin and goals, your provider may recommend pairing them in one visit or spacing them out as part of a customized treatment plan.

Curious if this combination is right for you? Call 407-409-8000 to schedule a consultation at our Celebration or Winter Park location. taken in Institute Of Aesthetic Surgery - Orlando by @skinydipping

Clear skin isn’t luck. It’s a protocol 🤍

Swipe to see real IAS patients and real results from our Face Reality Acne Program. No filters, no editing, just consistency and a plan built for your skin.

Here’s how it works: an in-depth acne consultation, a customized home care routine free of pore-clogging ingredients, professional treatments every two weeks, and adjustments as your skin changes.

Most patients see improvement within 90 days of fully committing to the program.

Whether it’s teen acne, adult hormonal breakouts, or years of “nothing works,” this program was built for you.
