Skin Treatment Appointment at Chester Clinic - Aug 09

Leading skincare clinic SkinGenesis has appointed Emma Preece as a specialist skin therapist at its clinic in Chester.

Emma, 26 from Middlewich, Cheshire joins non-surgical skin treatment specialist, SkinGenesis after starting her career in healthcare by gaining various qualifications in nursing.

Now studying for the Beauty Therapy (Science) BTEC National Diploma and after taking a slight change of career direction, Emma will embark upon her true aspirations to become a specialist skin therapist.

Emma said: "I'm really looking forward to a new career in skin therapy with SkinGenesis. I didn't want to go into the indulgent, pampering side of beauty therapy, so instead I chose to put my nursing background to good use and focus on the more scientific and medical aspects of helping people achieve a great complexion and body image."

Peter Beard, director of treatments at SkinGenesis, commented: "It's fantastic to welcome such a dedicated new member to our team in Chester. Emma has a fantastic background in healthcare and some great qualifications, which means she brings with her the key skills needed to be a successful skin therapist."

Emma will be completing her intense training programme over the next few weeks by shadowing senior therapists at the clinic, assisting with initial consultations and administering treatments to clients.

Peter added: "We take the training and development of our staff very seriously here at SkinGenesis as we are an accredited Investors in People company. Each new member of staff experiences an initial training period and then continues to develop throughout their career with in-house training and additional courses offsite, which ensures that our therapists acquire and maintain an optimum level of knowledge and awareness of best practice."

SkinGenesis has clinics in Chester, Leeds and Manchester offering skincare solutions to people across the North and throughout the UK.
