A Letter from Dr. Manjoney

I remember the first time I met an aesthetician.

Over 20 years ago, I was at a large party, and she was seated at my dining table. (She was visiting from Chicago.) I had to ask her, what does an aesthetician do? She explained that she did facial treatments to keep her clients’ skin looking fresh and young. She also told me how she had been flown to Paris to take care of one of her regular clients who was on an extended European trip. This aesthetician obviously worked with some high-end clientele, which in those days were probably the only people who knew of aestheticians. As a busy women cardiac surgeon with young children, I had never had time to consider going for a facial, or even knew what might be involved. I asked more probing questions about her technical role. I never dreamed that I would enter into the world of aesthetics myself. But, after all, I am a woman. I always wanted to look my best, and I was beginning to “age”.
