Experienced, Practical, Professional Advice to Achieve Your Best Skin
Jaclyn Rieben, a board-certified physician’s assistant, received a Master of Science degree in physician assistant studies from East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina and Bachelor of Science in human nutrition, foods, and exercise from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. A seasoned professional with first-hand experience of the effects of a sun-drenched lifestyle, this outdoor enthusiast, swimmer, and former lifeguard provides services at Aqua Medical Spa in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida with a focus on individualized skin care concerns.
Rieben addresses sun damage, skin aging, and aesthetic procedure options to meet each patient’s expectations for rejuvenation. Because the skin is the largest body organ and is often overlooked in youth, it becomes a concern as we mature. Rieben encourages annual skin checkups and vigilant sunscreen use. The key and simple solution, she says, is to apply sunscreen with SPF30 or greater. eltaMD is the preferred sunscreen product at Aqua Medical Spa, and Rieben’s personal favorite, but there are other available budget friendly over-the-counter products.
Rieben’s recommendation to parents: apply sunscreen on all family members including infants prior to leaving home and allow 30 minutes for product absorption. This procedure is especially important in the Florida sunshine for boating captains, water sports enthusiasts, and golfers. Additional ways to lessen sun damage are wearing a hat, sunglasses, and protective clothing.
A practical tip for women, Rieben says, is using a tinted SPF30 moisturizer for the face while protecting and supporting a natural glow during the warm weather season to minimize the signs of aging on face, hands, and chest. Among today’s youth is a trend that began in the 1990s with teen and college-aged individuals wearing sunscreen with more frequency and seeking skin-check appointments—proactive habits that support positive outcomes and reduce the impact of sun damage on the skin.
As the effects of sun exposure or aging skin become a concern, additional support can improve appearance. Rieben is skilled in assessing and administering cosmetic injectables (neurotoxins, BOTOX and dermal fillers). The most common areas for Botox are the forehead, brows, eye areas, and “crow’s feet,” but can also be used for lips, chin, and masseter muscle along the jawline. Additional options of dermal fillers are applied for lifting sagging check or temple areas.
“For me, providing cosmetic procedures is more than just enhancing appearance, it’s about helping people see themselves the way they’ve always wanted,” Rieben says. “It’s a privilege to play a part in someone’s journey toward feeling beautiful, empowered and see the best version of themselves.”
