At GLOW M+D CLINICS We Developed THE GLOW METHOD
The 4 Fundamental Steps to Getting That Glow:
STIMULATE:
Wake up and make your skin “work out” – it gets lazy and needs to be reminded once in a while to do what it needs to do.
NOURISH:
Feed your skin the nutrients it craves with proper nutrition.
MAINTAIN:
Cleanse and exfoliate. Your home routine should include these steps.
PROTECT:
Your skin’s job is to protect your whole body. YOUR job is to protect it. Sun and weather is hard on your skin. It needs protection… daily.
OUR GLOW TEAM
Jason Olandesca BN, RN, CCPE, GLOW Founder & Owner
Jason Olandesca graduated from the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Calgary in 1998. He has previously held clinical positions in Emergency, Medical, Occupational Health, Dermatology, Oral, Maxillofacial and Plastic Surgical Units.
In 2007, he became responsible for developing and facilitating the advanced injection practice training program for one of the world’s leading manufacturers of hyaluronic acid fillers. As such, he has had the very unique experience of training and working with some of North America’s leading injectors and pioneers in the cosmetic injectable industry and has been invited to participate and present in a number of conferences, training programs and courses offered for both beginner and advanced injectors.
In 2009, he founded GMI Practice Solutions to support and assist the growth and development of new and existing medical, dental and health practices with a focus on integrating “Business into Practice.”
He has trained hundreds of injectors from various fields of practice including plastic surgeons, dermatologists, dentists, cosmetic physicians and nurses on the science and art of neuromodulators and dermal filler injections.
In his continuous pursuit to be at the leading edge of the art and science of injectables, Jason was thrilled to find the Pacific Training Institute of Facial Aesthetics (PTIFA) program a perfect balance of academic evidence and clinically-based practice experience that aims to train all levels of injectors to provide them with a high level of competence and a high degree of skill. He was also excited to see that the PTIFA is building a strong community of injectors that actively network to learn from each other to advance techniques and raise the bar on clients’ expectations of the “qualified injector” in the industry. He was invited to become a member of the faculty at the PTIFA in 2015.
Jason is an active member of the Canadian Society of Aesthetic Specialty Nurses, The Dermatology Nurses Association, and the Alberta Society of Aesthetic Nurses.
Jessica Dueck, RN, GLOW Nurse Aesthetician
Jessica graduated with a Bachelor of Nursing from Mount Royal University in 2014. She began her career in Nursing at the Rockyview General Hospital and for the past five years has worked in medical, respiratory, geriatrics, palliative and rehabilitative care.
She is passionate about helping people feel their best, both on the inside and out. It’s what attracted her to her career in nursing and combining cosmetic aesthetics completes the circle.
Jessica completed her training in aesthetics injectables through GMI Practice Solutions. Once we got to know Jessica and her bubbly personality, we knew she would be a great fit for the GLOW Team!
When Jessica is not at the hospital or at Glow MD, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, designing clothing and planning her next vacation.
Tara Skinner, RN, GLOW Nurse Aesthetician
Tara Skinner graduated from Douglas College in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She began her career in Nursing at Vancouver General Hospital on the Acute Spinal Cord Unit and quickly discovered that her passion was in medical aesthetics. In 2014, she began working for a large medical aesthetics clinic in Vancouver, where she provided education and treatments to patients that suited their individual goals. Tara has made the transition from Vancouver to Calgary and is excited to continue building on her current medical aesthetics knowledge at Glow MD. Her passion lies in supporting people to feel comfortable and confident.
When Tara is not at Glow MD, she enjoys travelling, cooking, and if you keep your eyes peeled you may see her as a background nurse on medical TV dramas.
