Medical Aesthetician
Dana Maden
Locations: Northfield & Voorhees
Dana’s passion for skin health was sparked by her own persistent struggles with her skin, beginning at the age of around fourteen. These challenges and insecurities followed her through high school and into her early college years. Going back and forth with at-home treatments and following prescriptions for topical and oral medications, she found no lasting success. Determined to find solutions, Dana pursued a career in skincare, graduating from PB Cosmetology Education Centre in 2023 and securing a position at The Garden Medical Spa in 2024.
For Dana, skincare goes beyond surface-level treatments. It’s about educating clients—explaining the science behind serums and treatments, their effectiveness, and the external and internal factors that impact skin health. Most importantly, she focuses on rebuilding her clients’ confidence. Dana believes skincare is more than just layering products or rolling cold globes around the face; it’s a form of self-love often times overlooked. By pausing for a moment to focus on yourself in today’s busy world. She emphasizes that even though these acts may seem small, giving yourself grace and allowing kindness towards yourself is all apart of your well-being.
“Healthy skin is a commitment, not a miracle! While professional skincare is valuable, consistency in your routine is the key to lasting results.”
