Hi there!
Christie pence, RN-BSN
Aesthetic Registered Nurse
When I first started working in Aesthetics as a RN, I struggled with feeling like I didn’t belong because I didn’t look like the ‘typical’ aesthetics provider. I don’t like spending time on make-up or skincare and feel passionate about maintaining a natural look. I love to focus on healthy skin and helping others gracefully age as their best selves. I attribute my discerning eye and gentle hand to my years as a NICU and surgical nurse. I can’t wait to help you feel confident in your own skin!

Some fun stuff…
When did you start in the Aesthetic Industry?
I started in the Aesthetics field in 2016, time flies!!
What is your favorite treatment to perform?
Anyone that knows me knows that I love IPL treatments- they work so well at helping the skin to be a more even color, and induce collagen to promote overall skin health! I also love injecting filler for their more immediate results!
What is your favorite treatment to receive?
Honestly, it depends on what is going on with my skin at the time. At the moment, Sofwave is my favorite since I hate my sagging neck. Anything that provides biostimulation is good with me because it improves my skin without changing how I look (Sculptra, Hyperdilute Radiesse, Fern technique, Pixel8, IPLs, Erbium Resurfacing, and Carbon Laser Facials).
What do you wish all of your patients knew?
What is your daily skin routine?
I am lazy so I will never stick to a 7 step routine. I need quality products that combine ingredients to get more out of less. Currently I am using the skinbetter line and loving it. I wash with Oxygen infusion wash then I use Alto Defense and Repair (antioxidants and vitamins), then Mystro (to balance anything out of whack). In the mornings I follow with SmartTone SPF and at night I follow with AlphaRet Overnight Cream (a retinol with added benefits and less irritation!)
What do you like to do in your free time?
Having 3 children (although older) and 2 young dogs keeps me pretty busy but my husband makes sure we find time for fun! I love being on the ocean and exploring the islands. I also love my girl time at bookclubs and seeing plays.
