Affectionately known as “Nurse Jean” to her patients, Jean Trost R.N., B.S.N. brings with her over 20 years of Aesthetic Nursing expertise to Advanced Skin Therapy of Smokey Point.
Born and raised in rural Minnesota, Jean received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing in 1982. In 1983, Jean relocated to Washington State where her nursing career thrived. In 1998, when Jean transitioned to aesthetic nursing, the field was truly in its infancy.
In the summer of 2002, when BOTOX® Cosmetic Cosmetic was FDA approved and the first FDA approved hyaluronic acid filler came to market, Jean was noted as one of the very first R.N. injectors in the Seattle area and was named by Allergan as one of the top BOTOX® Cosmetic Cosmetic injectors in Washington State in 2007.
Jean’s artistic eye for detail, along with her genuinely warm, gentle approach, consistently delivers optimal aesthetic results achieving a high degree of patient satisfaction and long-term patient loyalty.
I am a skilled Master Aesthetician and certified Electrologist with a passion for skincare. After completing my training at Evergreen Beauty College in 2019, I quickly gained experience at Advanced Skin Therapy before branching out to various medical spas. In April 2023, I became a Certified Electrologist and went on to establish my own business offering electrolysis and aesthetic services. Now, I am very excited to bring my expertise back to Advanced Skin Therapy, where I can work with advanced lasers and continue my love for electrolysis.
