Marilyn Cassetta — BSc N, CPSN, RN
A registered nurse since 1976 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Sonoma State University in California, Marilyn previously worked in the field of reconstructive plastic surgery. Her experience includes five years as an intensive care nurse in a burns unit and two years as a burn liaison nurse. These opportunities gave her nursing career an early focus in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
In addition, Marilyn worked as an aesthetic nurse specialist since 1986. She was one of the first nurse injectors in the United States, selected by Collagen Corporation® to work with a San Francisco plastic surgeon. She was also named Australia's advanced technique trainer since 1992, teaching dermal filling techniques to doctors and registered nurses throughout New Zealand and Australia.
Marilyn specialises in cosmetic nonsurgical procedures such as dermal fillers, dermal stimulation, muscle relaxers, light and medium chemical peeling, and microsclerotherapy. Her goal in every treatment is to obtain radiant, natural-looking results. This process begins with a thorough consultation in which all appropriate options – from ongoing maintenance procedures to once-off surgical procedures – are discussed, helping the client decide what options best meet their budget and lifestyle needs.
Ginelle Kelly — Dip App Sc (Nurs) RN
Ginelle Kelly is a registered nurse specialist and aesthetician. She was first exposed to cosmetic surgery when she started to work in theatre. She chose to use her artistic approach to specialise in cosmetic enhancement. She brings to Silkwood Medical more than 15 years of experience in plastic surgery. Using almost all non-permanent fillers to treat wrinkles, fine lines, hollow grooves, scars and for lip enhancement, Ginelle has a vast range of experience in injecting dermal fillers and wrinkle treatments. She can also combine these with skin peels and lasers to achieve maximum results.
Specialising in facial rejuvenation, Ginelle also uses the latest medically proven technology (elōs® IPL laser) to treat fine lines, wrinkles, scars, skin pigmentation, texture, pores, capillaries, and for hair removal. She also uses microdermabrasion, and a range of chemical peels including glycolic, salicylic, and Jessner's.
Ginelle trained in both Europe and Australia and frequently attends ongoing courses, bringing overseas knowledge to our practice. She continually stays up-to-date with the latest technology to provide patients with more choices to suit their individual needs and budgets. Ginelle's previous surgical experience enables her to work very closely with our two plastic surgeons to obtain the best results with non-surgical options.
Ginelle's patience and calm nature combined with expertise, knowledge and attention to detail allows her to understand our clients' needs, develop a plan and achieve the best possible results.
Maureen Cole — Dip BTh, ITEC, CIDESCO IFA, AABth
Maureen Cole is a paramedical aesthetician with more than 20 years of experience in the skincare industry. She has completed diplomas with ITEC and CIDESCO, as well as an Advanced Certificate in Beauty Therapy, a Certificate in Advanced Skin Analysis and a Certificate in Paramedical Aesthetics.
She has several years of experience with IPL and laser techniques for hair removal and photorejuvenation, which includes vascular lesions and pigmentation. Her individually tailored programs ensure each person's requirements are fulfilled.
Maureen is also highly experienced in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massage. Ideal both pre- and post-operatively, MLD is a gentle massage that is designed to harness the body's own healing powers. It stimulates blood flow and assists the lymphatic system to eliminate toxins and waste from the body. Getting the lymph fluid moving through the body greatly assists inflammation, blotchy skin, bruising and the healing process in general, and is relaxing and totally pain free.
